    My God, the bravery and dignity of Alan is astounding. He was dying.
    He probably felt very sick but helped to raise funds for The Princes Trust because he was part of the band and they had been requested to perform.

      @e.g.systems6146 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Found it slightly offensive that Alan's solo was buried in the mix towards the end. Not because he was dying, and carrying off the whole thing with courage, but because the sound "person" was just rubbish, and buried it, like an amateur who didn't even learn the set.
      I wonder how many wonderful performances Alan might have given over the next 30 years if he had lived.

      Hiya. My brother worked for Yamaha as a piano tuner. Could have got any instrument at a discount. Being a bass player, TRB or RB would have been my favourite. The reason I'm replying to your comment is that I've never seen anybody else play an MSG. My brother reckoned Alan might have had an endorsement to pay that model, because to be fair, it wasn't the most cosmetic guitar out of Yamaha's stable. The SG 2000 will always be the game changer for me. Oh. By the way, I still never got the bass. And as far as I remember, if an instrument didn't make the grade, they were skipped, and if anybody tried to nick one out of work hours, they were sacked! Keep safe.🎸🤓

    HEAVEN IN MY HANDS
    (Mark King / Rowland Charles Gould)
    [L.P. "HEAVEN IN MY HANDS" (1988)]
    LEVEL 42
    I'm going nowhere
    gotta face up to it
    gotta wake up to it
    I feel so guilty
    Killing time is a sin
    there's no way you can win
    A damn burst of dreams flows thru' me
    they show me where I could be
    Flash point feelings flow
    thru' my mind
    When my friends tell me
    you just can't connect,
    you ain't got no respect
    They tell me nothing
    'cause I know about that
    Yes, I know about that
    I'm not gonna take what people say
    Don't feel that I belong today
    Sense of freedom and
    sense of pride
    From the mountains to the sea
    I'll run across this land
    Looking out for strength and beauty
    a diamond in the sand
    I will chase the four winds over
    trying to understand
    And I won't stop until I'm holding
    Heaven in my hands
    I won't let nobody
    turn me off, off the track
    now there's no turning back
    Won't let no worries
    turn my head inside down
    now there's no room for doubt
    I'm heading for my destiny
    and it feels electric to me
    Flash point feelings flow
    thru' my mind
    I was lonely going nowhere
    drowning on dry land
    I was almost stranded there a
    ship wreck on the sand
    But now I'll chase the whole world over
    making my demands
    And I won't stop until I'm holding
    Heaven in my hands
    From the mountains to the sea
    I'll run across this land (I'll go with you anywhere!)
    Looking out for strength and beauty
    a diamond in the sand (And I would chase anywhere!)
    And I will chase the four winds over
    trying to understand (And nothin' can stop me!)
    And I won't stop until I'm holding
    Heaven in my hands
    I was lonely going nowhere
    drowning on dry land (And I was a ship wreck!)
    I was almost stranded there
    a ship wreck on the sand (I'll go with you anywhere!)
    But now I'll chase the whole world over
    making my demands (And I won't stop, babe!)
    And I won't stop until I'm holding
    Heaven in my hands

      He possibly could have more time in this life . At that time the despicable big pharma industry pushed through many governments around the world the so called anti viral drug AZT . It hastened the death of aids patients . just search it or watch the movie Dallas Buyers Club -- true story -- how corrupt big pharma and big money got this drug through which killed aids patients . big pharma doesn't care about safety . they just want to make a quick big buck and take off or hide their profits before they can be found and indicted for negligence and corruption . And how alternative cocktails of other antivirals, vitamins, supplements were adding years to the lives of persons with full blown aids . The last video he made before he died with level 42 song called take care of yourself , Alan definitely looked like an AZT poisoned corpse ready to drop at any moment .

      Glad you noticed it too. That fill has intrigued me ever since I first heard this performance. Even at half speed I can’t work out what he does. It sounds like he starts the fill on the floor toms or the kick and ends on the snare, just before the cymbal crashes, but you watch him and he seems to start on the snare, then moves to the middle toms, then cymbals. I know they’ve got a perc. on stage too, but I don’t think that explains it. Either way, it’s a blistering fill! Hey, Gary! If you read this, tell us what you played there.

    A bit bland live version to me. But still great and Alan Murphy guitar parts was the best thing ever.
