   Great show!! Hadn’t seen you guys since 1991 when I still lived in Holland. Hard to believe but it seems you guys get better as the years go by. Please come back to the US if you can. Take care!

   Great show! It was special for me because I was there last night with my daughter. She was six when “Running In The Family” debut. She had me play the album over and over. We had a fabulous time last night, THANKS GUYS! Come back soon.

   Level 42 is the kindest band with the coolest fans. EVERYONE in the band rocked! True musicians. I’ve been waiting for 25yrs for this show and it was worth it! Keep touring the US. We dearly miss and need you around. Cheers!

   Kick ass show! Level 42 hasn’t missed a beat over all these years. Definately one of the best live shows I have seen in years! The Alter Bar was a great venue too. If you ever make it back to the US please keep me posted. Safe travels and thank you very much for a great time!

   Loved the show, it was the bomb!!!

   And it was so great to finally meet you and Mike after almost 30 years of being so influenced and inspired by your bass playing and your music.

   You both are great people- it’s an honor to have met you (and thanks for the thumbtape souvenir btw!).

   Please try to get to Chicago soon so that my friends and bandmates can see firsthand what I’ve been telling them all these years!

   Thanks for all you do,
   Kelvin

    Hey Ntheshed – nice to meet you before the show! Hit me up on facebook and let’s get together to trade some war stories…

    What a great show and great venue! Worth every bit of the trip from Atlanta, GA.

    Hopefully next time you guys can play somewhere down South as well……that way I can see you in Pittsburgh as well as anywhere else in the South.

    I cannot thank you guys ENOUGH for coming to Pittsburgh! Have loved y’all since the early days, and never thought I’d actually get the chance to see you live. Thanks so much for coming to the ‘Burgh!

    When I told my hubby, who’s a great blues guitarist in Pittsburgh, that we were going to see my favorite ’80′s band, his eyes glazed over. Needless to say, he was blown away, and is your newest fan.

    You guys ROCKED! Thanks so much for an amazing show. :)

    I feel like a jerk. I wasn’t sure what the appropriate gift is for a 30th anniversary? So I got a couple tickets, but they were for me. Was great to get to see you guys. Thanks so much for coming to Pittsburgh. Was able to convince the woman I brought to go with me to see you guys on your Level 42nd Anniversary Tour. With any luck, it won’t be that long ’til you’re back…or ’til she decides to hang with me again.
    Got a question though, could you guys possibly be having more fun on stage? Loved hearing you guys, but watching how much you enjoyed it makes it that much better. Thanks.

    What an absolutely AWESOME concert! Well worth the 1200 mile roundtrip drive from St. Louis. Great meeting ya’ll before the show. Thanks for coming to the States, keep on playing and writing, and please, please try to hit the Midwest on your next tour!

    What a great show! We were thrilled to open up for you guys – I’m one of many, many bassists who you’ve influenced so it was a special treat for me. Also – how cool was it we could brag of meeting you guys after the gig?!
    Thanks again for your hospitality and for the righteous hang. Hope to see you again in Pittsburgh.

    Just getting around to saying a huge THANK YOU for coming back to America! This was the best concert I have ever attended, and it was in my favorite city as well.
    I used to tell people the best concert I ever went to was Madonna in 1987, but that was ONLY because you guys opened for her. She should have opened for you instead!
    I wish the rest of this country would realize what I have known for decades – that you are a world-class band. Take care, and hope it’s not another 23 years until I get to see you again.
