mrmcgoo1964 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Just in from an excellent show anybody else there? Quote
Cameronj279 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Sh*te I didn't know about it or I would have. Even bigger pain in the ass as I was in Ticket Scotland 2 days ago and bought 5 gig tickets. Quote
bluesparky Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Yup, I went. I handily had a day off in Glasgow yesterday and they managed to sort a pass for me. It was good to see the again. The 3-piece horn section certainly gives the sound a bit of beef! Quote
bassbiscuits Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Caught them in Leicester two weeks ago - the dog's b...cks! Really impressed. Quote
Paul S Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) I saw them at the Cliff's Pavilion in Westcliff last Friday. I've seen them I think 7 or 8 times since the mid 80s and I thought this was honestly as good a performance from them that I have seen. The new material is superb and a great return to their roots of acid-jazz dance stuff. Hardly any showboating from Mr King - some of the new material features finger style and even pick playing! Never seen him play with a pick before. Lighting was absolutely top drawer. I even enjoyed the singer/songwriter support bashing out choons on his geetar. An excellent night's entertainment. Saturday morning Mrs S says 'Do you want to see Level 42 again tomorrow? There are good seats still available for Albert Hall'. So we saw them again last night! If anything it was a better night - the sound was more hi-fi there and not as loud. Good to see a favourite from 30 years ago still as strong as ever. Plus we went to the Tower to look at the poppies then had a good Lebanese meal before the gig. A good day. Edited October 27, 2014 by Paul S Quote
