I remember watching it, their first hit, it was one of those rare occasions when you know something special is happening, something new and fresh. Very talented.
I remember watching it that night. The Specials and The Selecter were also on. It was the talk of the playground the following day - Two Tone had arrived!
It was "The Prince" on TOTP first. This song "The Prince" changed a nation of lost boy's and girls from the skinhead movement, into SKA . It raised the "Rude Boy's" out of the ghetto's and gave them a purpose to live for. It's a 70's London thing, that then, went national.
I saw them a few years ago in Stuttgart, south Germany, and Graham McPherson said to the audience after the first applause „It‘s so good to be back in México!“
I'm 58 on Tuesday and still skank my box off when a rocking tune like madness plays . I seen them in early 80s with the modettes supporting in Liverpool in my two tone suit and black jam shoes
The music lives on though 😊 I discovered Madness and Ska in my sisters record collection. Ska lives on ❤ Check out your venues, might be some new bands waiting for an audience 😊😊
Saw them first on "Tiswas", Saturday morning kids show in the UK at . "One Step Beyond"......I have never left them. 13/14 years old.............OH YES.
After watching Madness performing OSB on TOTP every one of my mates wanted to be Chas Smash at school the next day "Ska had come to town" What a great memory thanks uploader 😊👍
hello Rude Boys Tim and Dave, remember me? No? Well I remember you, I never forget. I came back that night in 1979 with Boom Boom, but you'd gone, old Boom Boom was keen to meet you....maybe we'll meet again and I'll introduce you. Ta Ta, for now.
I'm a black guy heavy in roots reggae and lovers rock ,I listen and watch the dance to madness one step beyond ,so clever so british and it makes me smile every time
@@tonyivey5399 you’ve lived Tony there was a vibe back then fairground music mixed with ska and imagination and those 7 guys gave prince buster a lot of respect as Suggs once said to me there wouldn’t be no madness if it weren’t for him and all those classic blue beat tunes and more I’m glad I lived it ✊✊✊✊✊
This is excellent, although suggs gets the credit for being the main singer, the band is not the same without Chas smash, especially in their early days. Chas is the main nutty dancer. Those earlier gigs and concerts wouldn't be the same without his nutty dancing (and chanting) they were brilliant in late 1979 and also in 1980. Truly, one of the best bands ever. (Along with the Specials)
They (public, crowd) took some time to wake up to Madness back then, they didn’t realise what the lads were all about. It was ‘The Prince’ in 79’ that woke up this little 9 yr old, I was obsessed ever since 👌🏻🇬🇧 ‘One step beyond’ when it first came on Top of the Pops done my old Dads head in, he made me turn it down, or the Tv was getting switched off 😂
Remember this if you think that music today is crap. Real rebels that had no problem taking money to go on TOTPs and still complain about it. Suggs own words " of course we wanted money, who would not"
One of the greatest tunes of a decade and the audience can't be bothered.
From a much earlier decade than this show, though. (It's a cover)
Spoilt for choice in them days
The completely uninterested reaction of the audience is priceless.
They don't get this then new music phononem. I was 11yrs old, I absolutely loved them. Great fun music.😀😀😀😀
@@carolecochrane8173 Wow! Thanks for sharing that. I was born in 1968. It was a different time.
compare to ruclips.net/video/rt6Qhhytml8/видео.html
My thoughts exactly where did they get them from
Ahead of their time
Retro man A hit in 1979 its a lad dance after about five pints 😛😛😛😛😛❤💋
The only band I ever saw who didn't need drugs
Их и так не хило прёт 👍😜
Only lots of echo
Haaaaaaaaaaa!
You or them?
@@alexthomson7465 them I don't do drugs 😂
I remember watching it, their first hit, it was one of those rare occasions when you know something special is happening, something new and fresh. Very talented.
2nd hit? The Prince was definitely first.
@@stewartheywood7239 Yes, he probably doesn't realise that Prince Buster did One step beyond in the 60's first either. It is hardley new and fresh.
it was a great time. fresh on the heels of punk. so much change and optimism.
I remember watching it that night. The Specials and The Selecter were also on. It was the talk of the playground the following day - Two Tone had arrived!
Fenomenal,ya hace rato de esto.
um sorry out of context but im just wondering what that red thing up on their head called? thnks.

For me 79 was the year for good music. 79 till 83 the best.
Totally agree.
Best comment on here.
I,ve always said that. 79-83
I turned 58 last week....and I STILL can't listen to this music without the urge to SKANK my arse off!🕺😎
Me too man ! I am 59 now..
Gwan Lance my son, let's ave it! No age too great to enjoy this masterpiece to the full!
I'm 58 on Tuesday and still skank my box off when a rocking tune like madness plays . I seen them in early 80s with the modettes supporting in Liverpool in my two tone suit and black jam shoes
Suddenly I feel quite old. Remember watching this performance as a 9 year old kid. Great memories

I've never seen this version, absolutely brilliant and the TOTP producers must have hated it! 😂😂😂
Haha yeah, I feel like this might have been the first time TOTP banned them.
I wish I was a teen in England to witness madness and the Ska and punk bands.... brilliant tune !
❤ madness takes me back to my teens brilliant amazing group love em still looking fit suggs
Saw them first on "Tiswas", Saturday morning kids show in the UK at . "One Step Beyond"......I have never left them. 13/14 years old.............OH YES.
A friend went to sing this at karaoke night but forgot the words. 😎
What?? 😂
13 years ols in 1979 heard Madness for the first time still only band for me 👍
🤪🤪🤪
listen to it on the bus not sure what other people think but playing it anyway ❤❤
I'm going to see them at the Eden Sessions in July... memories of my younger days!
La audiencia aún no estaba preparada para esta música "del futuro"...
Great then and great now.
They are truly mad. ♥️
that nutty dance is just out there - love it
hillarious that they walk off around the set, not caring that it obvious its not live
Saw them again in about 2018 and still the best! Thought el thommo was going to have a heart attack but he kept going! Amazing!
After watching Madness performing OSB on TOTP every one of my mates wanted to be Chas Smash at school the next day "Ska had come to town"
What a great memory thanks uploader 😊👍
I used to dance like that even before madness ,,then went onto hip hop ,,now I'm on a list for a hip op 🥴
Brilliant.. I was 18 in 1979
Happy days 🎶🎵👍😁
old git, i was 12 😁
Canterbury 79. Fucking awesome...I was a kid.x
SKA MUSIC IS THE BEST! Everyone dancing to their own rhythm !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Syncopation, instrumentation, not overdone, best uplifting momentum.
1 month shy of 40 years old...where did that time go and can I have it all back!
Tell me about it, me 1971. 40 flew.
The best song ever✨⭐🌞🌈☀️🌅🌟❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🌎
This was a starter for awesomeness,
Top band ever.
Love madness,
This madness is better than the later madness.
Love this song
Brilliantly 'raw'. One of the best bands live!. Nuff said.
This is madness!
Just sublime..
Hi, Richie, England style find, found,. Thank's ...!
Bloody Brilliant.
First record I ever brought love it❤ even named my son after one of the members who is no longer in the group ❤
La mejor rola para abrir mi reventón que comience la fiesta
Andamos como chapulines
Remember in back the the future 2 when Michael J Fox was on stage and started to play a riff.......this gives me that same feeling.
Моя молодость Madness....
И моя))) До сих пор обожаю. Привет из СПб!
Best documentary Camden story crew amazing

En ese año me case y estaba de estreno está genial banda
I like the way the saxophone played on after it was removed from the mouth. 😉
Brilliant

One step beyond!!

Cuando me ponía alegre en 1981 con unas gracielas chulada todo pa delante nada hacia tras
Un paso adelante Venezuela.

Once again The Audience is in a Coma...Madness too cool for TOTP
It was a bit of a comedy act though wasn't it? If they'd have looked more serious the audience might have taken them seriously.
J adore ❤❤❤
COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One step high!
a muy buena rola aya por los 80s
I was seven when this happened... mind you though I was 21 when the Prodigy happened...love dove's anyone...
Great fun.
Good.
Good old TOTP where everything is mimed and nothing is plugged in!!!
That Chas Smash has got some serious moves..
Jesus - forty-four years ago. FORTY FOUR!!!!
45 now, mate.
The audience must’ve gotten a strong dose of lithium
Ska was fun !
A dark time for actual music.
after my punk period i heard this and became ska
Quality 👍
Top ska
J’ai dansé la dessus 😂😂😂😂🎉❤
The audience are on sedatives!
Especially for such a rocking tune!
I'm a black guy heavy in roots reggae and lovers rock ,I listen and watch the dance to madness one step beyond ,so clever so british and it makes me smile every time

They where taking the piss because top of the pops insisted on them using a prerecorded track, one of the many things you learn from watching NMTBC
Crushing out on this group since 1979
Who said white men can't Chaz was 1 of the best I ever seen
Legends 🇦🇺
💯
Chas Smash!
The only track missing from The Blues Brothers.
El público super animado
Ahhh - the 1979 Two Tone Tour of UK. Glasgow Apollo was bouncing.
RIP Prince Buster
➕🎤😎
They left Woody alone in the scenario...
Remember this if you think that music today is crap. Real rebels that had no problem taking money to go on TOTPs and still complain about it. Suggs own words " of course we wanted money, who would not"
They cut out a few words from the intro...... I wonder why??
