Level 42 Digest for Sunday, June 18, 2006

A great concert! Though some would probably call it a KOH concert, but being my third concert I nevertheless thought it was a fantastic experience.

The best thing about it was to see Mike back. In the start he seemed a bit nervous and shy, but after a few songs he really lived up, and he and Mark had some good laughs. Same goes for Nathan and Sean who were fooling around as always.

There were some technical problems along the way - as you can see from the pictures. In the first song, HIMH, for the first minute or so, the bass had no bottom at all. You could hear it but you couldn't feel it.
Mark apparently had some problems with his amplifier. It was funny to see the techs set up a new amplifier while the band was playing.
Mark also had problems with his monitors. At some point he had to move them with his feet while he wasn't singing. Then later between two songs, he bent down to move them properly.
When Mike started playing in Lessons In Love, the keyboard was too loud for Mark. Mark signalled this to Mike who afterwards tried to communicate it to the sound technicians.

When the set was over and the band members were leaving the stage, the presenter went on stage. The band never left the stage entirely before the encore. Mark walked over to the presenter to tell him something. I think he was telling him that there would be only one song in the encore. At the same time the presenter was speaking to the crowd and seemed rather distracted by Mark.
But eventually they got started on The Chinese Way which was a song where the boys could show off... as Mark put it.

All in all a great concert I wouldn't have missed for anything. (The car even had problems on the way there, so we had to turn around to get hold of another car).

Cheers,
Lars

> I happened upon this on ebay. Check it out. Colin Wow, are there still serious collectors out there that will pay £25 for this? According to the description, one went for $200? Maybe there was a day when I cared enough to add needless items to my shelf, but them days are well behind me. Thanks though, it’s always fun to see these things pop up from time-to-time!
