One of Jeff Porcaro's favorite drummers (and band) to listen to. 'Nuff said.

My love for this band will never diminish. Absolutely brilliant.

The GREATEST BAND OF THE 1980s!!!!!

What an underrated song Fashion Fever is. Super groovy and funky and enough changes to keep the listener interested. 10/10 👌

Phil Gould is one of the most under-appreciated drummers in the music industry. In my book, he's an amazing talent and a joy to watch/listen to...

I was at this gig. Phenomenal live band at the height of their powers. Seen them loads and they never fail to deliver. Superb live band.

I always loved Boon Gould's playing. Great guitarist.

Only a band like L42 can write a song like World machine a pop,bossa,funk,sci-fi masterpiece.......:-)

Phil's groove playing complimented Kings playing more than any other drummer after. His hi-hat feel was incredibly groovy the bounce the accents the open hat shuffles think this tour was his coming of age as a drummer. An absolute masterclass in pop funk groove drumming.

You forget how good a drummer Phil Gould was. Immense player 😎

Boon Gould was very under rated as well!

The best concert I went to ever they are still my favourite band

Rhythmically perfect, killer harmonies, superb phrasing and melodic lines. These guys are a true BMW mucis machine. I love Level 42.

Phil is a musician NOT just a drummer!

I love listening to Phil Gould..........GREAT MUSICIAN!!!!!!!

The pocket and feel of Phils drumming is about as good as it gets!!! RIP Boon.

This has to be one of best live shows ever, remembering Boon, rip.

☝ one the best bands of the 80s x

Having included the Thunderbirds intro for this concert video, I wish to express my thanks and sorrow for Boon Gould and Shane Rimmer(voice of Scott Tracy). Rest in peace to both of you.

THIS is Level 42. Perfection. Krys Mach on saxophone... Boon Gould on guitar. Yes!!!

I was there fxxking amazing brought my kids up on this video the whole concert don't know if they have forgiven me yet

Best Concert by the Best Ever Band

Outstanding band, all great individual musicians. But Mark is truly a killer. Unique percussive bass style, singer, composer, entertainer. If anyone “is” L42 then it is Mark King.

Phil Gould is the UK version of Jeff Porcaro

Sir Phil, That opening, you have the stadium in your drumming hands. So cool,,,,,,,,,,

these guys may have released soft rock, but there’s fusion and a serious groove. there’s a lot going on, technical detail and skill. really connected and tight. a musicians band

Man! Phil Gould !!!

Said it before, say it again, JUST LOOK AT SIR PHIL`S DRUMMING? HOLLY FUCK HE IS AMAZING, GO ON PHIL XX

Before the computer era this video was released so i bought it in Dublin in a record shop and i loved it,,,money well spent

phil is sooooooooo rock solid!!!

Phil is Great!!! Master Drum's

How funny. So many shouts out for Phil Gould's impeccable contribution to this here. I'd just done the same five minutes ago in comments for the clip of Love Games from the same gig. After six or seven years of backing up King's hyperthumbs, he absolutely had it down what to do. My only complaint....he missed the effective offbeat snare before the second verse of World Machine!! He seems to try and make up for it with an extra drumroll afterwards. I saw you Phil!!! Ha ha. :)

I was at this gig too.memories,what a fantastic band they were.

I've said it so many times i can't help say it again . Annie McCaig looks so charming , pretty and childlike in that bow in her hair shaped like a rose on top . What a great talent she was . If memory serves , she also contributed to recording sessions with and sang live back up vocals for Tears for Fears . I can't find anything about her on the internet past the early 1990s . I hope she is doing fine .

The timing is just so there,

Gotta love L42❤

when this came out on vhs, my then-husband and i watched it about 3x a week. my son is hooked and listens/watches often. the tradition is passed on

mike lindup....damn cool

They’re really something - but Phil Gould’s drumming is something else again. Craziness

Timeless band!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a mind blowing performance! Thanks for sharing!

The best original lineup

What an amazing performance, I love Mark’s bass playing and singing!! ✌️😙

Thank You Mr. Webb. I had totally forgotten about 'Fashion Fever'. Weird, eh? Performed superbly, naturally. Level 42 at their technical derring-do. What a turbulent era. Trump? My 1986 self would be eating him for breakfast 😈

Four GREAT PLAYERS = ONE GREAT BAND!!!!!!

What is sir Phil doing? pure brilliance.

The only concert i ever got to go to was at Wembley,i had a really great time.

phil one of most underated drummers . there wrong , he so good as a drummer i know . groove pocket player , this band is one of the best in the world , when boon and phil left . band nevedr the same i sorry to say, i did not buy any of the new line ups new albums ,proud to be english with this band great stuff

RIP Boon Gould.......

Level 42 ... the REAL Fab 4 !!!!

Thank you David Webb for uploading this! Me and my uncle we appreciate so much The Level 42!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! I Level 42 sono la mia adolescenza... il suono della mia felicità!! grazie David

I like Mark playing his Jay Dee instead of the Status along with Trace Elliot amplification instead of Ashdown, it's a more ballsy sound and although Gary Husband was okay at the drums the new guy is way too busy, Phil Gould had that special lock. This was the groups best incarnation IMHO.

The bass was designed for this man,magic

Fantastiking!!!!!!!

This is tight pack of amazing talent players....hole pack of it

The glory days ...

Fucking hell, these guys are perfect live.

Definitely the reason why I warmed to Richard Madeley so easily.

R.I.P Boon.

I was there right at the front...those were the days

Some folks try to multiply From sunrise to sunset Leave behind more of their kind So no-one will forget But that ain't where I'm coming from -today Those easy girls don't turn me on - anyway I want to know where my pride has gone The party's over Caught in a dream inside this world machine Teachers teach and preachers preach Of spiritual evolution But this big I am from Uncle Sam Just adds to my confusion I've seen his face, I've heard his song - before but I don't care what time he's on - anymore I must have been on the streets too long The party's over Caught in a dream inside this world machine I find myself outside your door Trying to make it like before But you don't follow what I say And I can't tell by the smile You're no longer a child That part of you was buried yesterday ... ... who knows Why they come and where they go In this world machine? It's the chosen fools who make the rules That don't apply to me With their fast-car games and counter claims Not my reality And I don't know if I belong - today I don't know why my friends have gone - away I must have been on the streets too long The party's over Caught in a dream inside this world machine. (Don't knock the system - we'll knock some sense in you Can't beat the system - there's nothing you can do

my favorite level 42 concert or one of , at least . Gould brothers still with them , on drums and lead guitar .

Kit sounds amazing

Best band ....

Go on Phil, xx

The 1980s i remember for the most part as an apolitical era in music . It was refreshing to hear some lyrics from some of the level 42 songs here that are "anti-establishment" . One of the few bands i can rember of the top of my head who were critical of "the system" were the Clash and the Dead Kennedys . Also the Pretenders had a few lines here and there that were critical but not much . If i remember correctly the Sex Pistols were already passe about 1981 which was replaced by post punk and new wave(not to be confused with the new wave arthouse films coming out of France, Italy, Germany in the late 1950's through to the early 1970s) . Loved the pistols version of God Save the Queen which came out i think as early as 1976 in the UK . Imo , the pistols gstq had some very perceptive anti status quo lyrics . Musically it induced primal dance and movement in me and so many others . It put the roll back into rock, rock n roll . Not since Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode was their a song that made you want to dance . I think people were getting tired of the complex rococo rock guitar solos . I mean even tacky disco music was more fun in retrospect to dragging the dead horse of classic rock into the late 1970s

Mark king spanking that bass

@Steve Graham. You are a lucky man. Tremendous!

about 9:53 in a couple seconds the sax player hits a very low note which is standard jazz. but right after, the way the video was edited it looks like keyboard wizard mike lindup is looking at him like he made a mistake, although i doubt Lindup thought that . a couple more times in the concert he drops from higher notes to a deep note and the video editing is sadly the same

Whatt!! They rollin with pyro now! Awesome!!

FORZA LEVEL 42

I have forgotten that Annie Macaig also did vocals for level 42

Fu@kin awesome musicians

Any one else noticed? 10:30 Boon has white sleeves. 10:35 Boon has gray sleeves. 10:40 Boon has white sleeves again.

I was at this gig fuckin awesome.

Forever Davi Webb !!! :)

Mark be moving and grooving from 0:50 to 0:52

Royal Albert hall here we come ❣️

I don't know, but when this concert was up as one continuous video the audio quality seemed better . We'd be grateful for replies about the fact of the matter

If you all remember they were the opining band for Madonna on that tour. And blew her off the stage.

Is this still available on dvd??? I always wanted a copy....Love 42

The goulds made level

Anyone know what snare phil gould is playing? Tama bell brass?

What happened to the full continuous video of this concert ? ! oh wait a minute...In that continuous video there was a close up of a guy kissing a female at the beautiful ending of Leaving me Now . Maybe they broke up and sued to have it edited out . I don't see that close up kiss at the end of the clip of this playlist at the end of Leaving me now.

Still didn't get it, why the had to reshoot parts of the concert.

Haven't they all changed from then!

ha! 3minutes into the song,,"this is our new song".. funny,,

Who is the female background vocals singer in this concert ? please, any and all replies !

これもどっかで観た事ある。何かの、ってか、多分LDで。

Double kick?

Again?

Recently I discovered Phil Gould's album Watertight released in 2009 . Not better or worse than Level 42 , just different . A little mellower perhaps on some tracks....but anyway I like it a lot . There were some really fine arrangers, musicians and singers who contributed including Mike Lindup . click link to hear it : kzfaq.info/sun/OLAK5uy_k-aG-vDqCipFYkoSy1Nlogg7ggC02IV2c credits and what not : www.discogs.com/Phil-Gould-Watertight/release/2293763

And again?

Phil Gould Best

I remember downloading this off Limewire back in the day haha just seeing their awesome musicianship! What a gem!

Why did the Gould brothers vanish?

Does anyone know what Boone died from?
