An unbelievably talented band. Like everybody else I can't comprehend how Mark King manages to play his super difficult bass lines and sing at the same time lead vocals. Just stunning.
@@danlc95 he's ruining this entire performance. The fact that everyone is noticing him is the evidence. He is just showing off. In his mind this show is all about him. He is technically talented, but musically he's a train wreck.
@gr8dane626 - Yep. I've been there. Blazing up the kit, but destroying the song. He's phenomenal as a player. Tons of chops and solid meter, but I wouldn't want him playing like that if I had to pay him to play that song. This is where guys like Phil Gould and Jeff Porcaro shine. They got the chops, but only use them when / if necessary.
Loved it then, still listening today 12/21/2023. Great #classic track here and thanks for sharing, posting @Level42 Almost 2024, anyone else listening too?🔥
This is it. This is my childhood. In one song. Laid bare. Emotions... hopes... dreams... passing time... Its all there. Its as beautiful as it ever was. Its amazing.
Wonderful to read comments of the “more mature” listeners. Tough to compare today’s pop to this one. Lyrics tell a story without repeating lines over and over again….
They are the ones who have contributed to keeping the world safe. Who wouldn't feel attracted to their music? Who wouldn't feel that this moment can last forever
Quelle merveilleuse chanson d'amour avec le solo guitare sax qui me donne le frisson comme la 1ère fois en 1987 et le groupe toujours aussi magique. Pete le batteur le meilleur de tous. Bubu
🎉still here listening after all these years 🎉th I s beautiful song from my teenage days 80s ❤great time to be alive 🎉 a lot fun carefree ❤is 2024 classic masterpiece love it 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
How, how can it be that a love Carved out of caring, fashioned by fate Could suffer so hard From the games played much too often? But making mistakes is a part Of life's imperfections Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all? Oh, drawn into the stream Of undefined illusion Those diamond dreams They can't disguise the truth That there is something about you Baby, so right I wouldn't be without you Baby, tonight If ever our love was concealed No one can say that we didn't feel A million things And a perfect dream of life Gone, fragile, but free We remain tender together If not so in love, it's not so wrong We're only human after all Oh, these changing years They add to your confusion Oh, you need to hear The time that told the truth Because there's something about you, baby, so right (and now the way you are tonight) I couldn't live without you, baby, tonight (I couldn't live without you) And now there's something about you, yeah And I couldn't live without you, tonight
This was a standout song in the 80s, and they just kill it here. The vocals are amazing! You can tell there's no enhancement or correction, no tracks. I wish people would do this live now. Not perfect, but perfect enough.
Great Band... Beautiful Stuff and Killer arrangement of this Tune. These Guys are Great Musicians performing an Awesome Song. One of my All time Favorites. Excellent Sound Man too!

Wow … was listening to this song out of the blue and checked to find some live performances of it . Mind blown !!!. That added part on the tail end ? Awesome !
![Toto - Africa / Hold The Line / Stop Loving You (live) [2024]](/img/n.gif)
Mark can play the hell out of the bass while singing AND chew gum at the same time. That's talent folks!
Little known fact: many singers chew gum to help keep their throat from drying
Yeah he is one impressive dude
My exact thought a few seconds into the vid. HAHA!
He's a beast. Their drummer sounds amazing. The different part they play towards the end leaves me speechless.
He's The Man!!
I’m 72 years old and I watch this every week as it brings me back to a great time…..bravo!
Me too!
@@lenyseribeiromachado6647,

Love this song in 2024...
So do I
Always
Still listening in 2025 and amazed by Marks performance! Wicked bass riff while singing!!
🥰🌻
I so hate the “still listening in xxxx” comments. As if you’re in some Time Machine that none of us are in.
@ Spend less time on UA-cam if it creates “hate” or just don’t read the comments. 😉
Mike Lindup's voice is such a good complement to Mark's voice and really adds to the sound and the melodies.
Yes!🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
An unbelievably talented band. Like everybody else I can't comprehend how Mark King manages to play his super difficult bass lines and sing at the same time lead vocals. Just stunning.
Very much like Sting in the Tokyo 2008 concert. Plays and sings
and while chewing gum! He is a legend!
Years of experience makes it look easy.
Quem sabe faz ao vivo
ALL WHILE CHEWING GUM❤
Mark is still one of the best slap bass players on the planet. They sound as good as they did when this song was a big hit.
I agree...
The consistency is mindblowing.. impregnagion at it's best
The drummer is killing it
He's killing something all right.
@@gr8dane626The flow and groove?

I'm listening alright. ♥
Oh yes def listening 😊
Same here, remember buying Running in the family back in the 80’s. Last week I booked tickets to see them in November for the first time.
8/24 Listening over and over
And Over! Yeeesss 💕@@homemclaughlin7830
Mark is a bass beast. Dude can chew gum with the heat of the too. This is an under appreciated band
This is it. This is my childhood. In one song. Laid bare. Emotions... hopes... dreams... passing time... Its all there. Its as beautiful as it ever was. Its amazing.
Increíble comentario, a veces una canción puede resumir una vida👏👏👏🔝🔝🔝
And so do i.
Still here listening after all these years! My song of the 80'S❤❤
Mike Lindup never gets old
His voice is just amazing........
Mike Lindup's falsetto voice is nothing short of angelic.
So true!🙌🏽😇
Mike Lindup’s little solo is burned into my brain to take me back to 85’ 😎
It just hit me….. he’s been THAT good for at least 40 YEEEEEAAAAAARRRRRSSSSS! It’s mind boggling.
I Love these Guys! “Are You OK” ? Dam Right!
Thank you for all the 80s music!
I fell in love with Level 42 the very first word of this song. That "How" hooked me.
Mark is great! Vocals and bass.
Vocals, bass AND chewing gum. A king in the literal sense of the word!
Leve 42 Stills better til today after 40 years ago class, love them 💙💙
During 1985, i listened their song with a walkman tapes, side A-B while waiting for the bus 😁 ..those precious years,
Man I remember like it was yesterday!
You probably realise the impact you had on an adolescent in the 80. You still do now. Thank you for the music.
drummer is phenomenal
I like saxaphones from the 80s. It's nice to see it making a comeback revival mainstream.
Yes, I like it too. saxophones is really from the 80's. Super cool.
Probably my favorite pop/jazz song of all time. Damn, can they play.
Me too! I've been watching several performances of it, and it's amazing how they have aged like fine wine! Just fantastic!
have always loved this song, just a gem and so unique, this is also insanely good for being live, who's listening 2024!
I love Level 42! Top Band 80's!!! 🤩
Me too

Fucking bass. Incredible
Marks got the talent of a lifetime, absolutely brilliant
Now this, folks, is real music. Honestly, the 60s to 90s (especially 90s Eurodance) were the best time for music!
Totally underrated singer and bassist this guy is brilliant full stop
love level 42!!!!! reminds me of being a teenager.... they made some fantastic, timeless music! ❤️👍😁
This was the first song that I heard and fell in love with them 💞
It’s a great song I remember it years ago and still love it
👍
Level 42 took it to a whole new level!
Underrated bass player. One if my favorite.
Fooooollllllkkkkkkssss the superstar of this show by far was the drummer, he's killed all hits 🎯🎯🎯❤❤❤❤❤
Just watched a live clip from 1985...30 years after and it sounds even better.
Quelle merveilleuse chanson d'amour avec le solo guitare sax qui me donne le frisson comme la 1ère fois en 1987 et le groupe toujours aussi magique. Pete le batteur le meilleur de tous. Bubu
Awesome song and an even greater performance!! Dance, chew gum, play bass and sing!! Tremendous and a truly meaningful song of love!
Just getting better and better. Mikes voice hasn’t changed at all! He’s a bass playing, singing, gum chewing beast! ❤
Polished performance. Bought their first album and followed them through the 80s. Now they're better than ever.
When he sings there's something about you Lugano....aaaaahhh so great😍😍😍😍😍
DAMN! This is the best version of this song I’ve ever seen or heard! BRAVO!
In my top 10 of 80's songs. It's just such a beautiful poetic song with a melody unlike anything today.
This live performance is soooo good!!!!!!
I just love their music ❤️
REAL FUCKIN MUSIC 🎼 !!! Timeless….
AMSTERDAM LOVE THIS REAL MUSIC BACK IN TIME YES DANCE PEOPLE DANCE THE BEST THING

How, how can it be that a love
Carved out of caring, fashioned by fate
Could suffer so hard
From the games played much too often?
But making mistakes is a part
Of life's imperfections
Born of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all?
Oh, drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
That there is something about you
Baby, so right
I wouldn't be without you
Baby, tonight
If ever our love was concealed
No one can say that we didn't feel
A million things
And a perfect dream of life
Gone, fragile, but free
We remain tender together
If not so in love, it's not so wrong
We're only human after all
Oh, these changing years
They add to your confusion
Oh, you need to hear
The time that told the truth
Because there's something about you, baby, so right (and now the way you are tonight)
I couldn't live without you, baby, tonight (I couldn't live without you)
And now there's something about you, yeah
And I couldn't live without you, tonight
Yes!!!
Thank You!
The ENTIRE BAND did an AMAZINGLY AWESOME JOB!!!!!!! 80's MUSIC Made U FEEL GR8!!!!!! 😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🎼🎵🔔📯🎙🎶🎚🎛🎤🎧📻🎷🪘🥁🪕🎻🎺🎹🎸🪗
Ha! My bloody neighbors are playing this Great Tune with me now!!!
Love This Level! Mark❤
Today is January 22nd, 2024
Still a joy to listen to this band
A fantastic bad-ass version if ever there was one!
This was a standout song in the 80s, and they just kill it here. The vocals are amazing! You can tell there's no enhancement or correction, no tracks. I wish people would do this live now. Not perfect, but perfect enough.
Went to see them live back in the 80’s. They were brilliant. 😁
I'm absolutely certain they still are!... JanB!
Love the band love the song Love the video love the 80s
What a drag that crowd is. We'd be dancing our pants off!
Couldn’t agree more! I would have taken a couple of hits from a joint and be jump’n like crazy!
Here they are the most beloved Christmas gifts wishing you a huge Happy New Year of love for music happenings & a lot of good time ❤🎉❤
They have just got better and better over the years 😊
Great Band... Beautiful Stuff and Killer arrangement of this Tune. These Guys are Great Musicians performing an Awesome Song.
One of my All time Favorites. Excellent Sound Man too!
LEVEL42,something about you, the greatest band of all time. new wave never fade.
That’s one cool bass guitar and live version! I love it when musicians give it their best, like this
My favourite Eighties hit from this fab band.x
Wow... kills it on the bass, sings and chews at the same time lol. Amazing, they sound great after all these years. Great memories ;)
That drummer deserves the whole gate.
There is no better music on Earth than this...
Killer drummer! Great song and great band.
Amazing song plus the last 2 minutes of this particular performance.. wow, brilliant.
Keyboardist vocals make this song for me - on point 👉
Outstanding on studio + superb live performances = Amazing!

My first concert ever and they were fantastic
I was near the stage and I bought the T-shirt 😂
I just love this song
assistindo/ouvindo este vídeo observo a qualidade musical de todos ali, especialmente o Baterista. Conclusão porque essa é uma das melhores versões? Simples, faça o seu melhor sempre.
Estou presa nesse vídeo há dias! Versão irretocável! Amazing!!!❤❤
Pure gold from the 80's. Thank you!
Lugano is lucky. Beautiful area, loved it.
He still got it 🥰
Wonderful drummer. Young guy in company of industry veterans. Impressive
He's way too busy. Just showing off. Not musical at all. Ruins the entire performance. If he was really good, you would not even have noticed him.
@@gr8dane626 Got to agree. He's even busier than Copeland!
@@thewomble1509 haha yeah but Copeland was in a different kind of band. His busy worked wonders!
Just checked out one of their early versions of this song. Not joking they are quite better now!! Ima 84’ Grad. Long time fan. 😎🤘🏼✌🏼
Can’t believe this was 14 yrs ago …Wow
Wow! what a performance!!!
Coolest song when I was at school at Somerset.
Great performance! What is up with the static audience, rude!!
Go Level 42!❤❤
I've always loved this song. This is a great performance. Excellent band wonderful songwriting and arrangement.
Wow … was listening to this song out of the blue and checked to find some live performances of it . Mind blown !!!.
That added part on the tail end ?
Awesome !
FANTASTIC !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏👏👏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
