@@impoallen4060 I said one of the best ever based on their reputation, actual experience, and the acclaims they have received throughout their years as a band so I stand by what I posted 🤷.

If there was no steel pulse there would have been no UB40 and the two tone movement would not have been what it was. This was the music that started to cut the politics and galvanize the working class.
Went to see them at The Birmingham Odeon doing this tour in 1979, I was 13 years old and I still love this band....Long may they continue to tour/record
Saw them in concert in Dominica in '82 or '83. It rained cats and dogs that night, and I got drenched to the bone, refusing to move from my spot. Great show that was. Massive fan of their music forever. 💤💣💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🇨🇼🇩🇲🇨🇦
crucial ridem, vocals, harmonies, lyrical content, a band for the ages, grizzly, stepper, basil, phonso, selwyn, david, had a chance to open for them in seattle way way wayy back in the day, true inspiration! yes "one hand washes the other...let's make a way for our children & their children...." righT oN!
Definitive Brummie Roots - more than stood the test of time... Birmingham has spawned so many music legends it's almost beyond belief.... Stevie Winwood for one!!!! Best Live Reggae Band I've ever seen and seen em a few times in the UK and in Germany.... Marley I saw in Dublin and it seriously bored me to death!
You talking with ignorance and it's a shame: The Heptones, Jacob Miller, Peter Tosh, The Abyssinians it's names like these, that bands like Steel Pulse came from and they would be the first to tell you.
This is a crap performance, keys not even in the right key, tempo all over the map. If you think this is awesome I'm going to guess you're not actually a working musician, are you.
no, it's a crap video, tempo is unsure and keyboards aren't even in the right key. Don't comment when you're high and you won't talk such boll0ck5 mate
+rsaathoff yes, they were at their best at that time, from 1979 till 1985, afterwards they never again equalled themselves, they were really very tight and powerful on scene ... in this set up, they were at their best -))) !!
+Yves Daems The last album I followed with them was "True Democracy". Great album but some of these first runs were great. Saw them live in the late 80s.
@@lawrencenjawe1935 I know this is the original line up - I know Alvin when he used to play with Mel Day's Band Sharp Edge- in and around Soho Road in Handsworth ( anyone remembers The Rialto Club??) - just wanted to know where Alvin is now :) Thanks
The Bass man deserves a Grammy
Word up!..After Bob and the Wailers,Third World we got Steel Pulse..Best Reggae Musicians...Roots Rocking..tight..precise..Reggae 4ever
I saw them live at the Greek Theatre in 1988. It was amazing.
One of the best Reggae groups ever. Exceptional.

Absolutely!

@@mervynqueeley2106 No problem.
Watching this performance once again love seeing them live it’s 2024
One of the very best bands I’ve ever heard in my life.
They say Bob Marley that takes reggae music international but steel pulse was the opening act for him all over Europe
"I say: The people of Handsworth

Handsworth shall stand, firm - like Jah rock - fighting back
We once beggars are now choosers, no intention to be losers
Striving forward with ambition
And if it takes ammunition
We rebel in Handsworth revolution
Dread town, dread town, dread town
Dread town, dread town, dread town
Dread we are for a cause, deprived of many things
Experienced phoney laws, hatred Babylon brings
We know what you got to offer, we know what's going on
Don't want no favours, 'cause there is still hunger
Innocent convicted, poor wage, hard labour
Only Babylon prospers and humble suffer
They are brothers in south of Africa
One black represent all, all over the world
Can't bear it no longer, blessed with the power
Of Jah Creator, we will get stronger
And we will conquer
And forward ever, and backward never

So sad this song is 41 years old and still relevant💔 BLM✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
SP always manages to bring a tear to my eye, definitely one of the best bands ever.
This song always makes my day, born in the 90’s and grew up with this music because my father listened this the whole sunday every sunday
Quem está escutando e vendo em 2021? Anyone in 2021 during coronavirus blocking?
For our children AND THEIR children 💚💛❤️
Bravisimo.... Revolución!! Desde 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Steel Pulse 4 ever!
Saw them in concert in Dominica in '82 or '83.
It rained cats and dogs that night, and I got drenched to the bone, refusing to move from my spot.
Great show that was.
Massive fan of their music forever.

*JUST SAW THEM 3 DAYS AGO … LOL*

Best reggae band EVER...RIP Grizzly
Só de escutar uma música dessa meu dia já melhora.
Przy tej muzyce czytałem "Pana samochodzika". I potem przez dziesiątki lat ta muzyka kojarzyła mi się z tą serią książek.
Genialna muzyka !
Maximum love from Handsworth!!!
Definitive Brummie Roots - more than stood the test of time... Birmingham has spawned so many music legends it's almost beyond belief.... Stevie Winwood for one!!!! Best Live Reggae Band I've ever seen and seen em a few times in the UK and in Germany.... Marley I saw in Dublin and it seriously bored me to death!
Great musicians and vocalists, pure talent right there !

The bredda at the back with the Moors clothes on. Proper from dem times.
the best reggae band outside of jamaica
Powerfull music
Extraordinaire le fond la forme, 10000℅ Roots & culture
Brilliant group, gets me dancing ! Positive vibes x
RIP Grizzly. 1st four albums were the best but True Democracy and Earth Crisis are right up there.
His performance was revolutionary for music and transgressor
"Handsworth revolution" and "caught you" too
A true innovator and an amazing person to meet, him and Phonso. Happy memories.
the best reggae band of history
Mauro Zonta and Bob Marley
and dem from my town
Sin duda amigo.
Pulso de acero

This is so f***ing awesome. The best line-up and one of my fav songs. Forward ever, backward never!

Salute reggae royalty stèel pulse king David

La Musique a une Définition très simple! Tu la découvres Jeune, tu es imprégné pour la Vie d'une compréhension de la Vie à jamais
I wonder how many people who listen to this even know where Handsworth is, or what it is like there.
gosh I wish they would come to Atlanta... i have so much love for this band.

steel pulse live at Hof ter Lo in Antwerpen, belgium, in the early 80's, the best reggae live concert i ever attended !!!
Amazing video , rip grizzly what a great drummer the music has already left such a great legacy and will continue

No no no. This is the original band line up (save Mikhel Riley) in 79. Alvin joined the band much later in 86....
