After 23 agonizing years, Level 42 finally returned to America for their 30th Anniversary World Tour. Unlike our U.K. counter-parts, who have had a steady diet of small venue shows for the past decade, Americans have either had to travel to Europe to see their beloved jazz-funk band, or simply wait and pray. 2010 brought Christmas in July! First an acoustic album as part of a 4 CD boxed set, then a US tour to slake the thirst of Level 42's long suffering US fans. The Regency Ballroom proved the perfect Level 42 venue. Small enough to be close and personal and large enough for the rockin', rowdy crowd to move with the music. Mark King lived up to his reputation as one of our planet's best bass guitar players, while Mike Lindup's phenom key boards and harmonies took us all back to 1986. Mark's little brother, Nathan, all grown up and a great talent in his own right, wowed the crowd with his guitar work and velvet like voice. Sax player and long time Level 42 band member, Sean Freeman, wowed the crowd with his energy and pure love of performing. Drummer Biggin did not back down a moment from his job of replacing the thundering Gary Husband. A simply phenom show with a phenom crowd! And to cap it all, Mark and Mike were a couple of absolute sports and stayed late to shake everyone's hand and sign autographs!
