useless kind of
discussion...
having grown up with
the "real" / original level 42,
looking fwd to every
new album and tour for almost
a decade, there is
definitely something special about
the original cast.
mike, mark, boon and phil all developed
their very
individual style, which one may like or dislike.
whatever the
opinion, it was their own. hence, the combined
result - level 42 -
was also unique.
I personally think
that phil's drumming is unmatched.
beyond comparison.
not so much for the technical skills,
but simply because I
like his groovy style. HIS style.
gary husband is
another drummer. he's quite good,
modest and likeable
- but he is not phil gould.
I would have some
difficulties in seeing other people
than the original
cast play level songs, without thinking
of them as a cover
band. and as such, they should develop
their own style -
not try and be "almost" the real thing. | ||

Agree. Although I can't really comment on the Indonesia publicity, (or lack of), there has been very little about the Ultimate Tour in the UK. Mind you, I read NME and I can't see Level 42 putting an ad in there. Perhaps we'll see a quarter page ad in the fantastic Mail on Sunday supplements over the coming months - that'll get the punters in. OK, so we've got a poster floating around for the 03 tour, but it's exactly the same as last years except they seem to have run out of red ink at the printers. >Level 42: the Heaven's Gate of music? Come now, at least Heaven's Gate had Kris Kristofferson in it. What a man and what a beard! There are no beards in L42. Boon toyed with the idea didn't he, but it was a long way off matching Mr Kristofferson's. Mind you, Mike's tache in the early days was a beauty!

some new arrangements of old tunes (I slightly twisted the arm of a mate to come
along to Colston Hall last year and his one critisism was that he remembered the
last time they were there (before breakup) and he thought it was almost like a
reply - well almost, anyway. And I had to agree with him).

If I remember correctly,
Nigel Kennedy worked with Level 42 on a Princes Trust concert - I don't remember
the year, but I do remember they performed a brilliant instrumental version
of Gershwin's 'Summertime'. I
had it on video for a while, but have sadly lost it. Mica Paris was also
in the line-up.

| Someone once said.....
"what Level 42 would you want to be stuck with?" (on a desert island) I would be stuck with Phil Gould, no, make that Gary Husband... no Phil Gould, no Gary Husband... oh bugger it, can I have Gavin Harrison on the island, he plays that bass drum too quick and too hard, and he doesn't sound like Gary Husband or Phil Gould, but he plays Level 42..... isn't that a coincidence. Wow, now there's a thought... another drummer.... where will this all end ? Oh, you didn't mean Level 42 person ! You didn't make it clear. Ok, why on earth would i want to be stuck on a desert island ? The only thing I'd take with me is my level 42 speedboat and a pair of Mike Lindup leopard skin trousers to help get spotted by the odd passing satellite. Eric W Ok, why on earth would i want to be stuck on a desert island, | ||

| HI Don... I enjoyed you and Win as the admins of the webdigest, but must say that the new lady is doing a splendid job... Now about the cussing....gee, I didn't think I was asking too much? :-) Thanks to everyone for toning down the language. I have noticed, as of late, how the post have become reader friendly (!) again. I've always enjoyed the digest and the wonderful dialogue between the community members. If I decided to leave, it would've been with a sorrowful heart, but I have thus decided to remain, (can I hear an 'amen' somebody :-) ). Level 42 still remains to be the best group I've ever known. And what better place to discuss them but here and the webdigest. I still consider it a privilege to be a fan of this amazing group and a part of such a lively community such as this!!! Best to all Deedee _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus | ||

Subject: Different Subject Matter I think the whole slanging match thing has gone too
far.
Too much swearing and apathy over these pages,
surely there's some other subject matter worth talking about, for
example:
Whilst in the process of getting very drunk on
Saturday evening I fell over scuffed my new Ben Sherman shoes and spilt the
contents of perfectly lovely large glass of Chivas Regal I'd just
poured myself on my new bass, brought for me by my lovelly wife for my 30th
birthday which has left a sticky stain on the fretboard and has anybody mailed
me to give me sympathy?...NO!!!
In the words of the great philosopher Mr Jerry
Springer:
"Be good to yourself, and each other"......or words
to that effect.
Best,
Matt | ||

As always, if you have any suggestions for improvements or additional content, please email us at level42-admin @ worldmachine . com. Happy shopping! :) Brought to you exclusively by Mike Payne @ Journey House & The Level 42 Digest For those who have their hearts set on going to England to see Level 42 this fall, but are limited on funds and time away from work, we've put together a special travel package. Agency commission has been waived for Level 42 Digest members -- you are getting this itinerary at cost only! Sorry, only North American Digest members can book these packages (USA, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and most of the Caribbean). Note that there are other packages available for longer stays and other cities - the one listed here is the "basic" package. PACKAGE #6 - THE POOR MAN'S SPECIAL * Package L42-6S (Single) * Package L42-6D (Double) DATES/ITINERARY Depart any North American gateway city on Thursday, November 20. Arrive London the next morning, and return the following Sunday/Monday... a quick trip! WHAT'S INCLUDED Including roundtrip air to London and hotel accomodations within walking distance to the concert venue, London Hammy Apollo. Also includes Level 42 show tickets and all taxes. Optional railway tickets and passes are also available at discounted rates. PACKAGE COST The L42-6S single package is approximately US$756.00, which will vary depending on your departure city and your length of stay, but the final cost will be close to this figure. The L42-6D double package is approximately US$1,206.00 (US$603.00 per person) with the same variability depending on departure city and length of stay. Both packages includes all taxes and fees. ALSO NOTE! There is another BRITFEST being planned for the day after the London gig, just an hour outside of the city. Plans are still being finalized, so watch the Level 42 Digest for updated information. Usually it costs around UK£10.00 (US$15.73) to gain entry, which helps defray the cost of the facilities and bar staff. In the past, whatever profit (if any) has been donated to the Children Say Charities. :) I must say that this could be the biggest "YANK" turn out in years! I'm VERY happy to see this! It will be great.........!
