This song deserved to be a massive hit. Can't change the past, but I often wonder how well it would have been received. It deserves to be more well known.
never saw Carl beeing so much a Frontman, i love this Guy, he is such a Important Part of Madness. Carl is Barefoot till 2:00 the suddenly got shoes on.... anyone realised?
Great to keep finding Lost Performances by them & I'll Include "I'll Compete" on Saturday Live in 1986 in that Category!, IMO!, they are underrated in the Meaning/serious Songs which they are Brilliant at!, we all know that they are Brilliant at Knees up type records but at times they appear awkward/embarrassed by performing more Message based Material but they shouldn't!, The Specials did a Lot of Serious Songs with Social Messages & Paul Weller has built a Career on it!.
No Surprise to Debate about who is on Keyboards as around this time James Mackie, Steve Nieve and Paul Carrack all filled in on Keyboards for Madness!.
The 7" mix of this is on the One Better Day 12". This really should have been the follow up to The Sun & Rain. They seemed to lose their momentum at the start of 84, Mike leaving was a major blow they never recovered from. I really liked the direction the band were taking with Keep Moving. Shame it all started to full apart from here on in commercially.
Can anyone solve the curious case of Chas's shoes in this clip? Watch as one minute he is wearing shoes, and then instantly he has bare feet. Is there some nutty editing going on here?
Good tune, should've been a single. Suggs needn't have got out of bed for this one. Can see why there were rumours about him leaving the band around this period too - no vocals in this and hardly seen in the Michael Caine video
Ian Wilson that is what make great albums great, that every song is really good, Suggs is worth being there does good backing vocals and those movements! Keep Moving is a really good 80's album that does not sound dated
Madness obviously intended this as a single, even though 'performed' in it's 'Keep Moving' version. Should of been a 'Double A' with 'One Better Day' instead of being passed over. Carl was definitely the leader of the band once Barson had departed and the band split too soon for me as I still thought they had plenty of ideas, though maybe too many ideas!
+Robert Gomez No it's not Jerry Dammers. It's James Mackie who used to be in the The Selecter. James toured with Madness in 1984 as their keyboardplayer.
Suggs doesn’t seem to know quite what to do with himself. Didn’t they last minute pull this track from being the second single of the album because Suggs didn’t want two successive single releases to be lead-sung by Carl?

I love all seven members. Their unity has got such a big strengh !
La mejor banda de mundo escucho madness desde los 11 años ahora tengo 41 ..
Lo mejor de mi vida 💜
In my opinion Carl has always been the most underestimated member in Madness. I wish he'd come back.
Blauer Ka
He will !!!
Yeah he was just supposed to like bez in happy Mondays but actually he’s really cool.
@@bibolehabib still waiting
Or Paul Rutherford to Frankie...
@@bibolehabib he is not coming back
One better day is a masterpiece I think it was a good choice.

Given the Subject Matter I think that this & One better day should have been Released as a Double A Side!.
Sad song, but true about Suggs' dancing; in true "Nutty Boy" form!
I realize it only now, that the main solo is sang by Chas. The quality is horrible, but thank you, it's a rarity.
Mynameis Veronika of course it's going to be horrible quality due to it being watched thousands of times over+over the years, but still great song

Great Studio Performance!, Up there with Lovestruck on T.O.T.P's & Clerkenwell Polka on Jools Holland's Later Show!.

I miss this video when it was delete. Thank you.

ritchyfox It was more than likely taken from an earlier take. It's quite common for a few takes to be shot when filming a promo video.

this or march of the gherkins would have been a hit
Fred Fat-Well this song came off their hit album: Keep Moving so it was a hit as what a hit album-Just wasn't released as a single which don't matter
Madness obviously intended this as a single, even though 'performed' in it's 'Keep Moving' version. Should of been a 'Double A' with 'One Better Day' instead of being passed over. Carl was definitely the leader of the band once Barson had departed and the band split too soon for me as I still thought they had plenty of ideas, though maybe too many ideas!
"One Better Day" would have been a very nice third single. Those responsible should hang their heads in shame... I won't mention any names
where is barson?
He had left the group by this point.
Who is on keyboards in this clip? This is GOLD
Jerry Dammers from the Specials on Keyboards.
+Robert Gomez No it's not Jerry Dammers. It's James Mackie who used to be in the The Selecter. James toured with Madness in 1984 as their keyboardplayer.
Steve Nieve....
No, it's James Mackie, ex-keyboardplayer with The Selecter.
Suggs doesn’t seem to know quite what to do with himself. Didn’t they last minute pull this track from being the second single of the album because Suggs didn’t want two successive single releases to be lead-sung by Carl?
Dave Robinson chose the singles not the band.
This song wasn't good enough to be a single and the decision to release One Better Day was the right one.
