If my memory serves me right, this concert was filmed at De Jaap Eden Hal in Amsterdam. And that unforgettable (and very sweaty!) night started off with the famous Belgium singer Raymond van het Groenewoud, and then equally succesfully followed by either Madness or The Specials, as Madness was also performing that very same night. Thankfully, everyone involved in that truly memorable "stage incident" got away practically unscathed and without any serious injuries. But a Great and Legendary musical night it definitely was! And although Mister Rico and Mister Bradbury have recently sadly passed away, their music will live on in our hearts, minds and souls...Ta, S K A...
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan ,,,That james BROWN FUNKY DRUMMER intro ( original hip_ hop beat from 1968/++1969!!!!!!!) Just SOCKS it to YA EVERYTIME:: JB STYLE!!!!!!! r,I,p,
I was on that stage too, 18 years old :) There must be more close ups as I remember too. Not sure but wasn't Madness and the Selectors at that same concert too? Pitty, no cellphones or digicams back then to make your personal recordings of a concert ... Thanks for uploading this vid!
