Which show did you see? I drove from Ohio to Philly and it was an amazing show but there was a guy who's flight got canceled and ended up driving from Minnesota to Philly. Mark, Phil and the guys were all just delightful to met and the were very generous with their time after the show.
Mark is a truly gifted performer. The entire band - rythym section, vocals, keys, horns, are all so tight! There are quite a few really great live performances here on youTube spanning a couple of decades, each with their own merit that are really wonderful to watch. Charasmatic, yet humble guy, for sure!
Jenny is, was and always will be such a lovely person (plus an absolute babe! 🥰)…While Mark truly is one of the greatest musicians of the past 100 years…Yet apparently we're all old fogeys for thinking so! 🤣
I saw Jenny Powell at this years Rewind festival and couldn't believe how young she looked. Jenny looked exactly the same as when I used to watch her in the 80's. Big shout out to Level 42 who were incredible. I was really looking forward to seeing them and the Human League and neither disappointed.
Mark King is one of my Musical Hero's . Mark is a Very Very Good Bass Player and when the Princess Trust want a Bass Player they call on Mark nearly every time . I've seen a lot of interviews of Mark King and I have to say he is a very nice guy. I would love to meet that man and have a chat with him that would be a dream come true . Godbless You Mark.
Something happen to me the other night after the concert in Stoke On Trent... and am trying to not let it bother me as I try to make sense of it. But it did happen and am going to talk about it !. After last night, the horrible experience I had after meeting Mark King, lead singer of Level 42, I walked away feeling like am in no rush to ever go to another Level 42 Concert and I certainly never want to ever meet that man Mark King ever again... All this took place in front of about twelve other fans... After Mark King signed his autograph for me and I had a picture with him, I asked him on the next tour after this one is completed.. would he think about adding my favourite song that I like out of all the Level 42 songs, Leaving me Now !. Next thing I know, Mark King suddenly Freaks the hell out,,, starts shouting, this is why I never meet people after a show, always saying, why you don't sing this, why you don't sing that... something I never actually said, what I said was, on the next tour after this current one, would he think about adding Leaving me Now... so no, I never said anything about a why this and a why that !!!. But as Mark King is freaking out on me, he then says FCUK this and starts walking to the tour bus entrance and then stops in front of the door. Mark King then turns around and points at me, he then orders me to go stand in a corner next to some other girl who he had also told to stand in a corner, like where in school or something. Next thing I know, Mark King tells his road crew, BEAT HIM UP, BEAT HIM UP !!!. The road crew say who ?, of which Mark King points directly at me... and says him !, him right there... beat him up !!. Next thing I hear is one of the road crew say, O.K... So am standing there waiting for this person to put there hands on me, to attack me... as I do not have VICTIM written on my head, it would have been a mistake for the other guy to put his hands on me !. I think all the other fans who were watching all this playout, had a look of shock and horror on there face to see there idol, hero behaving towards another fan like this of Level 42 music that,,,, I think the manager standing behind Mark King had a fast word in Mark King's ear... The next thing I hear is Mark King say... AM ONLY PULLING YOUR LEG PEOPLE !!, am just pulling your leg people, speaking to his fans watching him. Mark King then turns his attention back to me and says, mate... CHEER UP !!. Mark King is standing there smiling at me... So because I know I have a bunch of his fans also watching and looking at me, wondering what am going to do next... I act as the bigger man and walk towards Mark King and FIST BUMP him... But next thing I know, Mark King walks up to me and he says, come here, give me a cuddle and wraps him arms around me and hugs me tight... So again, because I know I have his fans watching all this... I say to Mark King, I will come again, I will come to another show and see you again... Of which Mark King says to me, PLEASE DO, PLEASE COME AND SEE US AGAIN and next time I will sing Leaving me Now for you... I turn round to walk away, as does everyone else making sure not to mention a word of what has just happened... I thank the man who took a picture for me and take the nearest escape. As am walking away, am trying to make sense of everything that had just taken place ???.. a feel very upset and angry at the same time. I am telling myself, I will never go to another Level 42 Concert again and I never want to be anywhere near that Mark King ever again... The excuse for his behaviour, that am telling myself... Mark King must of been drunk... he must have been drunk !!. When he came outside of the stage door, his behaviour was not that of someone sober and fully composed... he was swearing a bit, something I found a bit shocking... in all I found him to be a little somewhat cranky in his personality, a hell of a lot different to other famous stars I have met like Midge Ure who was very humble and incredibly giving, kind and completely decent. Nik Kershaw who was very laidback, giving and enjoyed a good conversation... But I guess all the big stars you meet are not all going to be like that... Mark King was telling people to beat me up... WTF !!!.,,,
You posted this same comment on a few videos now and with all due respect I think your overreacting about the whole situation. Sure he might have been drunk but I highly doubt he was being serious. Have you ever heard of the term taking the mick? Sounds like that is what he was doing. There’s possibly thousands of stories of people meeting mark king and you appear to be the only one who said he wasn’t a nice guy. I don’t understand why you feel the need to search for videos about MK to post this comment on. What are you trying to gain? Seems like you’ve deleted your own video talking about it.
Saw them live in Liverpool a couple of times but the fabled bass dominated too much, which was a disappointment compared to the sound on the records. Amazing band, great musicians and brilliant songs. Mark King seems like a good person. I always remember reading years ago that he made pizza for journalists at his home once which is pretty decent. Almost as thoughtful as making pizza for estate agents. I am sure some are nice really!
I drove six hours to see them during their brief 2010 U.S. tour and I'd do it again if they ever came back for another brief U.S. tour.
I'm 28 and Level 42 has become my favorite band, really wish they would come out to the states again so badly
@@devinm8128 I was such a fan that I started playing bass and now I own a Jaydee bass like the one Mark is playing here,....his signature model.
@@ralphhenderson7270 hell yeah, now you better break out that electrical tape for the thumb 👍 lol
That's dedication

Still love to listen to L42. Saw them live. MK is amazing.
Considered flying from Seattle to London just to see them. I do ‘t see any tickets left!!! Next SpringSummer, I’ll be there!!! Can’t wait. Lovely man.
Still love this band like I did when World Machine came out. amazing musicians!!
For me world machine their best album

Jenny is, was and always will be such a lovely person (plus an absolute babe! 🥰)…While Mark truly is one of the greatest musicians of the past 100 years…Yet apparently we're all old fogeys for thinking so! 🤣

A cavalcade of brilliant musicians is what Level 42 has been!
Jenny loves bass 🔊
She interviewed Mark well. Despite what I wanted to say. Kudos.
Saw them live in Liverpool a couple of times but the fabled bass dominated too much, which was a disappointment compared to the sound on the records. Amazing band, great musicians and brilliant songs. Mark King seems like a good person. I always remember reading years ago that he made pizza for journalists at his home once which is pretty decent.

It is said that the period from 1977 -1984 was the most creative period for music
Long live the king
Jenny is still looking great
Jenny is looking so hot…..nearly as on fire as Marks slap bass…..👍😳😜🇮🇲🤘
Good to see Jenny. Whatever happened to her over the years.
Well Well this is where you have been hiding Jenny.
