Level 42: Live at Wembly



This is a 1986 footage of the band before the Gould brothers parted ways. Besides being a big fan of Mark King's bass playing, the spectre of how good Boon Gould was as a guitar player haunted me for years because he was purportedly an amazing musician but his authority in terms of guitar-playing in the albums weren't there as proof. However, this recording proved the works as Boon was liberal in his guitar inputs, many tracks had excessive guitar contributions instead of the sporadic presence in the albums. Mark King was at his level best (forgive the pun) & his slap technique was something to behold- the reson he continues to inspire me.
