In this case, a killer perf by Level 42, an band unknown to me. They'll rock your socks (though I coulda stood more tune-changes ala Crack the Sky):

...into the 90's. Thanks for the backstop on these guys, C-H. As that clip shows, they remain a pretty vital force, long after the glory days. Their bassist, Mark King, is also a big noise, as their site shows: http://www.level42.com/ Folks are encouraged to see more of them on YT.

Try their album called World Machine - very good. And Mark King is an excellent bassist. He has a very unique style of playing.

Mark King released a solo album, Influences in 1984, which demonstrated that he was inspired by Cream and Jaco Pastorius. Others followed, but I have not heard them. Influences is well worth getting, if you like jazz-rock and can track it down.

Not tough at all--available from the Usual Suspect for about $7.

^ That seems reasonable, especially if it includes delivery.
