This guy was basically a drummer and an excellent guitar player. One day he picked up the bass guitar and literally developed his own percussive thumb-slap technique in a few weeks and became one of the best bass player in the world. He is also a proficient singer and a damn good songwriter. With Mike Lindup they were top players in the field. Mark King has definitely marked his place among the Hall of Fame of all times great musicians! He is really the King of slap bass!

I'm very late to the party, but at 63, very new to Level 42 & Mark King, I've been binging, for weeks now, totally amazed at his musicianship & character, his playing is some of the best I've ever heard & I'm a big fan of St anley Clarke & many of the jazz greats

[frozengreen]

This is insane and to think he can play like this whilst also singing and chewing gum! The man is a living legend, long live the King 🥰

[simonebovo]

there are many bass players in the world, but Mark wrote beautiful songs with level 42 and hard bass lines. Nobody will be comparated to him. the one.

i could watch this all friggin day. the man is just brilliant.

[JulianHallLevel]

Having met MARK about 35 times since my first LEVEL 42 gig in April 1981, I can tell you he is a great and funny guy to chat to.

[madnote]

Good grief. Power, control, and such musicality with every note. An all time great.

[weeslydenial]

Ten years late to the party but... Just superb. Quality musician and showman... Long may the King reign!

[josenoya-InspirationNation]

He is just the master, a true legend of bass!

[rosewoodfretboard]

Mark King is ridiculous; his talent borders on the absurd. I've admired this guy for years. What a treat it would be to actually have the opportunity to watch him play in person. 

[TheXeroid]

What a thoroughly nice man and extremely talented to boot. I could listen all day.

[richfuell]

I am in total awe...I'd love to be able to play with that degree of fluency and ease...such a joy to watch someone perfectly enjoying what they do....and I'd love that bass...!!!!

[Spoif]

With 40 years experience, it's one thing being technically brilliant and a virtuoso but something else to have these attributes and *really* enjoy what you do; as Mark clearly demonstrates.  Superb.

[TickleFingers]

Wow! Mark King is a beast! Serious talent and seems like one cool cat. I'm beyond impressed!

[paulcatania]

He's a groove machine!!

That was great, up close and personal. Feels like I just spent 16 minutes hanging out with Mark!

Thanks for the tour and performance Mark!!

.30 on the G string? Wow!!

[LG-klco]

The man is a career in the media must surely follow when he hangs up his Bass he comes across so very very well.

[thatpaulschofield]

Anybody else notice that a brand new set of strings stay in tune thru 10+ minutes of Mark King slapping? I'm sold on double ball ends.

[typicaldaydream]

No base player has ever manged to come close to Mark's talent. What a treat this is and so generous to let us peak into his private zone now and then.
Thank you Mr

[holdencaustic]

Such a cool guy-- a perfect example that the best don't need an ego
