Mark King live at the Jazz Café [Mr Pink bass solo] Level 42 - Good Man in a Storm Level 42 on The Fast Show

No thread about Bass Porn would be complete without Mark King; here he is at his most indulgent in a live performance at the Jazz Café. Can you listen to the opening notes without thinking of Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine? For all the slapp...
