Worked the door at a place called Winston's in Ocean Beach, CA in the mid nineties. Dave Wakeling band came by to play a couple, few times. Always great stuff.
Nowhere near the English Beat that peaked in the 80's, but not quite just mere nostalgia either... Dave never was a great singer and his voice has faded a bit, and this backing band is a mixed bag, but taken as they are this band is still a decent opening act.
Great show! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for uploading it!
I saw them at a club that only held a few hundred- in 2010. They had so much energy and they were so good.
Saw the early line-up in 1982 and they were fantastic but nowadays it's not much more than Dave reliving his heyday, accompanied by a tribute band.
