I would want it on the format for US vcrs/tvs (I'm not sure what the acronym is but it's a different format than the one used in Europe.) I am also looking for any other concert videos that they may have done after 'Live at Wembley'. Did they also do a video compilation for the songs on Guaranteed? I'd be interested in that as well. I figure if I can't see them live I may as well watch them repeatedly on my TV :) Augustin ------------------------------ From: Elson "?"

The sun may be up today, but in another place, the sun has gone down. Forever... Goodbye, Level 42; thank you for the hits, the albums, the music, the memories, the tours of the US that never were (grrrrrrr!)... Mark, we will miss the funky slaps emanating from your Alembic bass. Mike, we will miss the smooth textures from your Prophet-5. Phil, those grooves, and those words are irreplaceble. Boon, likewise your lyrics and your rhythmic 6-string strumming have been missed. Wally, your direction, vision and studio finesse cannot be rivalled. Gary, your rapid chops wowed the world. Alan, your contribution has been appreciated. Thanks for your help, however short...rest in peace. Jakko, your support and dedication and talent cannot go unnoticed. So you're leaving us now. Good luck in all your solo endeavors. There's simply something about you that's so right. We thought the chant has just begun, but not, It's over. Take a look. Why are you leaving? If it will ever be possible, please come back. We look forward to be with you again. So goodbye, Level 42. Forever. Take care of yourselves... Elson Trinidad A Level 42 fan, always and forever.

Well, they are the same as far as the style of playing and tempo, but as far as the notes and progression go, they are quite different. I never thought about the "ooh'' in Guaranteed and Something About You before you mentioned it, but I same thing can be said - same style (both with dual harmony lines) , but different progression. I'd be curious to hear what similarities you hear w/Lasso the Moon. Perhaps "Silence.'' If you want hear the most exact Level 42 songs, listen to Heart On The Line and Starchild. They are very much alike. You'll also hear a little Freedom Someday in Heart On The Line.

There is a song on the new album that reminds my of lessons in love in a big way. Naturally the name escapes my right now, but I will go home and post something about it later. I wasn't so sure about the Guaranteed comparision, but there are a few examples that I think do ring true.
