Opening a stunning set with Fashion Fever and Forever Now, Level 42 treated a near sold out Symphony Hall to an array of outstanding music and a spectacular light show that showed off perfectly the songs’ emotions.

With a catalogue of music going back to 1981, there was something for everybody in the set list which included the wonderful but unfortunately rarely heard Romance and the classic number Leaving Me Now.

The biggest cheer of the night however was reserved for the hit single Something About You from the 1985 album World Machine.

Finishing with the Chinese Way as part of the encores, the band ensured that they are still in the public’s heart and still have a place in the British music scene.
