    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

      He's a beast. Their drummer sounds amazing. The different part they play towards the end leaves me speechless.

    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.

    Mike Lindup's voice is such a good complement to Mark's voice and really adds to the sound and the melodies.

    Mark is a bass beast. Dude can chew gum with the heat of the too. This is an under appreciated band

    • @gr8dane626
      @gr8dane626 Місяць тому +2

      ​@@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.

    • @danlc95
      @danlc95 Місяць тому +4

      @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.

    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
