Just heard on the news that Terry hall has passed away aged 63 , thoughts and prayers with his family and friends and the remaining members of the specials. My favourite band ever. Thanks for all the songs and memories Terry . RIP . Can't believe you've gone.
Back when people had fun. So proud to have called The Specials my favourite band all of my life. Music plays such an important place in the human, it really effects how people behave. I am not surprised the kids of today are so unhappy listening to the shit around now.
Saw the specials, madness and selector on there 1979 two tone tour of the uk, got hooked that day and now got tickets to see the Specials Encore Tour. Love ska.
It's about prince buster getting hit on the head with a paving slab by a rival gang at a dance . He breaks out of hospital with a bandage around his head , disguises himself in his mum's dress the goes of to beat the crap out of the gang . They put the word round that he's lost the plot , but he says - they call it madness , I call it gladness .
Cheers to the cool rude boy lad dancing on stage(who must be over 50 by now). I'm a teacher and I'd love to have a guy like that in my classroom! I only get shitty Latin-trap's fans instead.
@@MrCorfuz 14? I'd say more like 12 bless him. I saw Specials and Madness c79 and there were kids as young as 11/12 there, more so at the Specials. 😊 Two Tone attracted a lot of kids and the Two Tone bands did lots of gigs where under 18s could get in. i.e alcohol free venues.
There’s a guy skanking on stage in a black jacket with badges on it and a hat and all I can think of is Rik (Myall) of The Young Ones. I know it’s not him, logically, but to me it’s Rik.
So many questions about the 12 year old. How did he get in? How did he get such a cool tailored suit? How did he afford it? How did he get out without his folks knowing? Where did he get that fricking confidence? The dance moves? Little legend.
@@lucalittler madness was not a ska band,they had their own nutty sound,what do you know about prince buster???, or his band the busters all stars,or the skatalites or baba brookes band,you know zero about ska
