Search - Level 42 :: Live at Wembley

Essential Level 42

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The most overlooked album from the most overlooked band. Will never get the respect they deserve (at least in the States) but true fans know that they are great live, and this album proves it."

Not Great

"This particular live album was not authorized by Level 42. Polydor, their old record company owned the rights and released this even after Level 42 had left them for RCA.



The production quality on this album is terrible. It sounds almost like a bootleg, although it was probably recorded from the mixing board. There is no nuance of sound, every insturment bleeds over every other. You cannot hear the backing vocals.



One saving grace of this recording is the wonderful rendition of "Lessons In Love".



For a much better example of Level 42's live performance, I suggest "A Physical Presence" or the "Live at Wembley" DVD.
