JJ Bass Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi all, Just been searching on youtube for the Mark King expohal gig but its no longer there, did anyone rip a copy off there and keep it on their hard drive? I've got the audio, but would like to get it back onto youtube again, watched it too many times Thanks in advance! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi, I saw Level 42 more than few times back in the early 80's, can't help with the video but I've never heard of that gig.... where was it? Was it just MK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Bass Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Yes, it was just MK, a Jaydee, a stack of Trace's and a drum machine! Only about 15-20 minutes in total, but brilliant of course! Look on youtube for Mark King Expohal (Dutch??) and you'll find the audio. In the vid you saw Crockford (L42's then manager) wrapping up MK's leads and handing him a lit fag, thats being looked after alright.

iconic Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Mark King a smoker...now I never knew that...Super Kings no doubt and Kingsize to boot? I always assumed he was a bit of fitness freak in his early [s]tapes[/s] days judgin' by all those Muscle T Shirts until I read he always cooks a pizza for reporters interviewing him at home! Met him twice. First time in around, ohh must be 1983, no must of been 1984 as True Colours had only just been released. He was getting a drink at the bar at the Margate Winter Garden gig, proper nice fella from I can remember, I'd had a few so don't remember too much, only what my friends tell me Saw him earlier in 1982'ish at the Central in Gillingham Medway but was sober and tongue tied so could only grunt something very embarrassing about Love Games. good hunting...have you tried the fan forum?

JJ Bass Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi, Haven't been on the forums for years! Only met MK once after a gig in Newark around 2000, lovely fella, certainly gave my mrs the eye, git! Gillingham? Was that at The Central? That was 1981, and I have that on cd They played a very rare track on that gig, you'll find it on youtube. Also had a good jam at the end of Almost There, only time I've heard that version. Mk's singing voice is better when he smokes, just a little deeper, see if you can find the Crystal palace gig from 1991, he mentions his liking of the fags then - yes, I know too much about L42!! Drop me a line via pm and I'll try and email you The Central gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Bass Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Wish I had been there, but would have been too young to understand it! Its an amazing gig, very raw and full of energy. Sounds like its been recorded from the sound desk, but still a bit primative Drop me a line if you want a copy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
