What can i say...this is how we love Level42. MK on Jaydee, Phil on drums, Mike on keys and Boon on guitar...playing a classic Mr. Pink, as my friend Simon Cowbell would say. Absolutly loved it!
lmw289: It's a Jaydee bass, made by John Diggins in the UK. Go to John's website; there's loads very comprehensive info there about the Jaydee basses Mark played.
Mark King and Mike Lindup Made this band the way it was. I'm not in any way trying to detract from the Gould brothers: they were awesome, too!!! I just can't understand why there are so many -6's to rate them. I've been a fan of Level 42 for over 20 years and will never shy away from being as such! Level 42 will always be awesome to me! Sorry if anybody dosen't think the same.
I’m a fan, but find Mark King ‘aggressive’ on this: the tone, the posturing, the histrionics. This kind of performance left people divided at the time: and the band open to criticism. The Gould’s and Lindup were like patient investors, supporting the exploits (and collateral damage) of - a fire breathing dragon. But look at King now: he did get it right.
easily one of my favorite songs. What's interesting to me is comparing Les Claypool's style with Mark's. Les has such an economy of motion that he often seems to be not moving enough for all of the notes he's playing. Mark, on the other hand, is just flailing about it seems a wonder he has so much precision in his playing.
I know someone told me once before on here, but someone please tell me what kind of bass Mark's playing on this video? I know he's played Alembics. But, WHAT is playing in THIS video? Anybody?
A bit late but it was a Jaydee Supernatural. Jaydee are an English company founded by a man called John Diggins (JD). Interestingly, after years of playing Status Graphite basses, king has just gone back to Jaydee.
@hurry2014 Not on par. Stanley isn't all that. I have three of his albums and they're boring as hell. Any video of his I pull up on youtube he's just playing that same old riff from School Days- he's a one trick pony. He could never play what Mark just played up above. He has a reputation because he was one of the first slapper but I haven't really seen him do much with it.

Simon Cowbell, love it!!
Mark King is truly the Jimmy Hendrix of the bass guitar!
Mike's solo is nothing short of amazing!
He's cooking, Mark was grooving too😮
This is unbelievable.

I kind of get what your saying to be honest looking back...but you've got to agree it is extremely entertaining!
@@jameswhite7997 Very true.

Brillliant - they were at the top of their game then.

The guys are really jammin here... the original band does it best!!
3:50 - "No talking please!"
But he makes it funky! Boon with anything but a LP is nothing short of immoral!

in the name of 50 sweating Daltons,that bass playing is unnatural
I'm know I'm way off base, nevertheless somehow my mind flashed to Frank Zappa without all the verbal crappa.
he looks a bit to happy!lol

Stanley go home!
