“Takes just one look to know I’m still mesmerised.” … says it all really.
Still a very sad and touching song. I hadn’t seen this video, as I’m sure I would have remembered that jacket! What the heck is Mark wearing?!! Loved the comment at the end. :D
More please Morgan! ;)
I am really amazed with different touch of intro from “Leaving me now” when Level 42 was play in Weser-ems Halle, Oldenburg, Germany .. that’s nice .. cheers,
Thank u,
So nice to watch those good old 80′s music videos, like the ones of Level 42..!
You made/are making so many brilliant songs.
Big Art. Wow.
A very sentimental ballad which always touches the heart.I love the song and it’s original video.
would definitely like to see more shows like this so PLEASE keep coming Morgan FABULOUS.
Much love,
Sophie xx

Thanks for sharing, Morgan. BTW got any stuff aired in the states (e.g., Saturday Night Live, Live From the Palace or Showtime @ the Apollo)??
Did anyone else find it funny to see Mike singing/miming Mark’s vocal fills towards the end of the song?
I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for the band, as seriously talented musicians, to have had to lip-sync their masterpieces as part of the music promotion game.
love it! wonderful Vintage amazing material. it’s something to proudly look back on.well done. how cool is that?

albertarose – Yeah I had a wee chuckle at that too, re. Mike.
Top of the Pops which is where this clip is taken, was well known for miming. A few did actually perform live voice-overs to their songs, in fact L42 did a few times in the later years. But most artists just mimed to their hits. It must have been quite humiliating, but I suppose it was all just part of doing their job back then. TOTP was a very popular show indeed, so just to be on it – miming or not – was a proud moment to most bands back in the day. :)
Yes however,part of the job I guess..
In the Netherlands, Top of the Pops was known as ‘TopPop’… And, that time, it used to be the main source on TV here, of the music charts/artists video performances, by Dutch speaking VJ’s, both for the Netherlands, as for the Dutch speaking part of Belgium(Flanders)too.
So many people have so many good memories of it…!
Yes, I guess we ALL have not so desirable parts to our jobs, even our favorite musicians.
Funny, when I think back to being a kid watching bands on TV during this era, I was completely oblivious to the lip-syncing. Dang, I was so gullible and naive.
