And yet that comment intrigues me. Live performance better than original recordings ? How does that work ? The original is what it is, live performance is deviating by means of mixing so your comment is ridiculous. Muppet
@@oddities-whatnot sorry if you can't understand what I tried to say. Maybe my English is not good and I used the wrong words. But I'm sure most English speakers understand this. Maybe my comment came out a little ridiculous but I'm sure you are worst troll.
I saw them in a small venue and didn't expect much. I was blown away by the musicianship of these guys. Think it's the best show I ever saw. Thanks Level 42.
And How good is Their back catalogue? I mean I know some of Us bemoan the change to pop but every song pretty much is cracking live! What a brilliant band of musicians regardless of line up ( yes the original Fab 4 were the best though).
All the brigdes that you burn, come back one day to hunt you...Tracy chapman and level 42 was there with me when my heart was broken...well, we survive anyway.
Went to Cowes high school..iow, with Mark King.. And used to live next door to Phil Gould Original Drummer..When the guys from L42 were rehearsing..fantastic Band Always loved them, in particular this song..Mark is a lovely guy..always up for a chat..Still got it..!
Ben Winkel not at all ! Boon is still alive ! I spoke with Phil Gould recently ! Everybody are making confusion with the guy who played after Boon and Phil’s departure and who quickly died for aids ! Boon has recently joined his brother Phil when they were invited to play a few songs as special guests ! After leaving the group, Boon wanted to return in a quiest life and disappeared from all social network ! Phil kept contact with the human’ s being ! He has his own fb page ànd made his own LP with Mike Lindup ! Boon didn’t play on.any track but Phill told me his brother was hugely alive and happy !
Yes,it's very sad! And he was still way young to go! And it seems that nobody disclose the cause of his death.Level 42 always have awesome drummers!P.S. What I meant here was just to say that they do have very good drummers ,simply ! But, ss somebody pointed it out ,it looks like I was saying if the drummer / the brother passed away ! Sorry ,if I freaked out anyone !💜👍😅
This is the one of the very best break up songs all time! If not the very best...to me top 3 ...most likely #1! This is what British bands...especially English bands can do! It's very brutally honest, raw , yet tender ...it really tears you apart!!! AND THE drummer here delivered an amazingly emotionally & TECHNICALLY perfect job! If any skillful drummer can contribute to perform a great ballad like this also....then he's so PRECIOUS!!! And the band is golden ...solid gold!
@@laartwork I'll check the song ,too later! Thanx!Another best break up song all time is " I'm still in love with you" by thin lizzy! Those two are my most favorites all time ! Really hard to say which one,both make me cry like a baby to this day!!! So emotional& painful & beautiful!!!
The best of the best from the 80s... they have forged that generation with good music and song... we don't have something alike anymore... that's why they stay on top 👍
My wife’s era and her favourite Level 42 song. She went to see them live in Harrogate in 2002 for her 30th birthday present to herself! I would have gone and enjoyed this brilliant polished performance , but I didn’t meet her until the year after😢
I just rediscovered this track when I grabbed an old CD out of a box of junk to play in my run around car. It had no cover and was scratched but this track played almost all the way. I bought the album Runnung in the Family when it came out but never synced with this song. Decades and 2 marriages later it has so much meaning to me now and is my favourite song and this live performance is truely outstanding...
Headphones, maximum volume, eyes closed...and this song..food for soul! Thank you..i have a smile on my face each time i put it! This song is a unique piece of high art!❤❤
Perfeito! !! Voz e som idênticos ao clip de quase quarenta anos atrás! !! Sonho com olhos abertos! !! Romântica ao extremo! !!! Amo. Detalhe; como consegue cantar mascando chiclet? ? -22/10/19;- Brasil; - Campinas ,Sp. -22:49 hs. 💖
I was introduced to Level42 by a friend in 1986 Fantastic music, superb live & Mark King a really nice guy who makes time for the people who support the music
And this is part reason why I came to live on the Isle of Wight, any place that gave its musicians the gift of writing such a wonderful ballad, must be a place worthy to live, and it turned out to be correct.
Aside from the incredible musicianship and arrangement of this song, this is the only breakup song from a man's perspective that tells the sad truth. The guilt he feels, the fear for the one he leaves, the harsh reality of having to hurt someone he loved, the final realization that whatever he had with her is forever gone, and having to finally admit to himself that It's Over.
Ao vivo....absolutamente bom, hoje raro encontrar talento assim. Voz maravilhosa, arranjo sublime, melodia melhor ainda., músicos ótimos, cada um fazendo sua parte.
This song reminds me of my parents break up every time I hear it. They broke up in the 80’s right around the time this album came out. They literally left each other letters in the hallway of our apartment. Amazing that a song can bring you back to a moment of time in an instant. Level 42 was such an amazing band!
Like the sands of time echoing in eternity, this song somehow has more meaning and gets better as it gets older. A timeless classic for us all to reflect and wish we could find our way back in those uncomplicated days x
Driving home from the gigs b4 I stopped for a pound of "jumbo'. The solitude & peaceful contentment of driving down Michigan Ave @ 3am ( no other cars) after the gig w/THIS tune on... PRICELESS.... Life is always good w/"Level 42" on the earbuds....
Lifelong fan.... But, that made me cry! Gorgeous emotion, nostalgia, and memories of one of the greatest bands ever! Still cutting-edge! Love and respect, you old tarts!!! 💖💖2020...and,you still leave me in bits!! Johnny badfinger(just turned 56!!)xxxsomething about YOU!!!! xxx
This Band is so amazing. Their live performances are even better than the original recordings. What an amazing Singer and bass player this man is.
well said. absolutely amazing musicians.
So true. After all these years, the sounds are absolutely brilliant

How frickin good was it growing up in the 80,s timeless classic
Absolutely.best decade ever..no worries.whole life ahead of me.Please take me back

Maaaaan
Totally agree 😊
Mark kings voice has stood the test of time just brilliant his bass playing his renowned but his voice is even better
Bless up
THAT 'S THE SONG .... forever
This song touches my soul...Makes me look to the past and think about choices were made.
Me too

Reminds me, sadly of my mistakes....

Met him backstage when Level42 played at Northwood House, he definitely is down to earth and finds the time to talk with anyone.
Saw them in San Francisco a few years back. Small venue. They stuck around to natter for over half an hour afterwards.
One of my favourite Level 42 songs of all time. Just sublime 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Rip Rowland 'Boon' Gould! Guitarist and co-founder of Level 42 died, age 64.
He will be missed, mourned and remembered...
Ben Winkel not at all ! Boon is still alive ! I spoke with Phil Gould recently ! Everybody are making confusion with the guy who played after Boon and Phil’s departure and who quickly died for aids !

I wish you were right friend ... but apparently it is not so :( ...look at the same level 42 website: www.level42.com
@@gouduleme2 I guess it wasn't that recent.
Yey! Boon!!... Never forget! RIP, AND Big thanks!!! Love too!! 💖💖💖💖
One of their finest. Such a beautiful song, moves me every time.
I have a top five favs and this is one of them.......
Feel the tears..... I can feel the tears.....
Know what you mean...
Wow what a band that can make a live performance sound better than it did 30 years ago!
I'm still floating in the space from these awesome chord changes. Perfect version and Delicious 👌🏻❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever written..
Serious musicians and a song for all of us who had our hearts broken 💔
30 years older, and Level 42 perform this song live, even better than the slick, original recording! Phenomenal band - Respect!
Not better because of the annoying harmonica sound in my opinion. Take it out please
@@russellharris9674 There's a harmonica in every version of the song.
With a statement like that, you must lack that."FUNK-SOUL gene.
@@bertanthony1545 Wow, all these misery-arses watching music they hate. Go do something that makes you happy and take your negativity with you!
Totally agree with you my friend !! The best live version I've ever heard.
What a tune. Absolutely magnificent.
"I can feel the tears running through the years". So can I.
RIP Boon Gould. Gone: But NEVER forgotten. Your Music & Lyrics will live forever
Yes,it's very sad! And he was still way young to go! And it seems that nobody disclose the cause of his death.Level 42 always have awesome drummers!P.S. What I meant here was just to say that they do have very good drummers ,simply ! But, ss somebody pointed it out ,it looks like I was saying if the drummer / the brother passed away !

Spark _ Boon was a guitarist u are thinking of Phil Gould his brother and yes level 42 have always had world class drummers and musicians in general !
Yes he did pass away sady
❤️42nd like❤️had to level it up❤️
My favorite Level 42 song......It never gets old. Love it!!!
I loved this band for over 35 years! This is one of my favorite songs - vocals, background vocals and percussion all outstanding!

Atsuko Livernois My favourite break up song. Second is Toto’s ‘I Wont Hold You Back’.
Maye McDonald FINALLY! I GOT SOME REPLY! THANKS! LOL I'LL CHECK THE ONE OUT! I'm not sure if I am familiar with that particular one!
I was just saying this is the best break up song (from the perspective of the one doing the break up) . Then maybe Breaking Us in Two by Joe Jackson
@@laartwork I'll check the song ,too later! Thanx!Another best break up song all time is " I'm still in love with you" by thin lizzy! Those two are my most favorites all time ! Really hard to say which one,both make me cry like a baby to this day!!! So emotional& painful & beautiful!!!
Agreed ...agreed agreed
Glad I grew up in the 80s with bands like this
Ahh man! I absolutely love this song! and been listening to it off and on for years - for sure , a timeless classic.
Much love to you , LEVEL42

When MK changes from his usual slap style to a subtle fingerstyle, he takes it next-level!
Sad sad song, but to the point. Great arrangements, vocals, harmonies, chord structure, emotion packed😢
Nostalgic Song..... Driving car in a highway....
at night to the beach.....
I remember the trips to the beach at night in the car when I was a child
and rainy day
RIP Boon...gone too soon, tysm for your music to remember you by.
Mamma mia. Even better than the studio version. What a legend these guys are.
Still love the eighties....
Ah those lyrics. Takes you right back. Look forward to seeing them next month.
Still proudly have the Running In The Family LP i bought in 87. One of the best albums from 87 for sure. This song is one of my favorites.

Mark King is simply superb, although a shout out to his brother Nathan, most underrated, also a great musician
Absolutely love this version

Very haunting and soulful. Just amazing to listen to over and over.
Gives me goosebumps every time :-/ (one of my favorites though) #level42 #eternity
I can feel the tears running through the years.. sometimes it's the simple lines that hit hard. Just a fabulous song
And this is part reason why I came to live on the Isle of Wight, any place that gave its musicians the gift of writing such a wonderful ballad, must be a place worthy to live, and it turned out to be correct.
now there's a guy who has kept his wonderful voice over the years.. awesome performance
I love the song 😍
Singing, playing bass and chewing bubblegum all at once, respect!
Fone de ouvido torando no ouvido....essa música e fora da curva ... lindíssima... perfeita...vocal... instrumental... performance
My fave Level 42 track....... Just perfect, timeless !!
Amazing I love these guys. What a blessed band.😂
Holy crap....that was awesome!
Love Is A Powerful Feeling.
Embrace It Before It Dissappears.

It's so wonderful song about that time, when you wish something, it's great L42 💫🦅
God this brings back painfully sweet memories!
A song with relaxing thoughts on the patio watching the world go by.
The best bass in the word !!! Live 💜Mike 💪🏽

Still, still absolutely brilliant after all these decades.
Takes me back.
And live - red hot everytime. Credit to all the band you are just great.
What a great group. Seen them in concert in the mid eighties in the RDS, great gig. RIP Boon

La misma voz y el sentimiento intacto.
The best breakup song ever written. Level 42 is Magic and I wish I could live in their world.
