Amazing as always! Obviously Sad Jerry, Brad, Roddy and Neville are missing, but the existing members are brilliant, and the replacements are all excellent.

John Bradbury had a style that was just made for the specials... idiosyncratic and very vocal led phrasing with his double time snapping rim clicks and timbale like smashes.. this ain't the same... it's more like rock drumming with the odd timbale thrown in... and I know his job isn't to imitate JB...it just doesn't sit right with the flow... when john died...part of the specials sound died with him... period 🏁😎
Totally Agree..... Even the guitar work.. Doesn't sound close to roddy. The specials are Over. No jerry, no roddy..... Neville, terry and John dead...... Only lynval and hora e stays..... No rico.... What else to say
Sorry but lost the energy without Brad and Roddy.... el Tel seems to be going through the motions too. Go back and watch this from 2009 reunion by comparison.
And whats the problem? Just because otherse members dont want to be in the band (except rhe drummer, who past away) they have to stop playing or change their name. Dont be like that. Lets apreciate them while we still can
well without those members of the band they are the specials in Name Only! it's not the specials they should be called Terry Hall's specials etc what you don't understand about all that I don't know oh well never mind
It's regrettable that not ALL the original members are there, but it's still great that the some are. They sound pretty good regardless. No of us are getting any younger so i think it's awesome we can enjoy them performing for as long as possible. I was only 10 yrs old when they were big in the late 70's so am grateful that i got the chance to see them live.
Craddock has absolutely no stage presence and his guitar parts on this are drab - he literally relies on effects pedals and has no unique style... sorely missing Roddy Radiation's energy and class guitar riffs/solos. They're so flat without Rod and Nev!
RIP Terry! Ska will never die!
This lovely guy and his band got better as the years went by , i will love them until eternity ,, Terry you will never die x
R.I.P Terry
My heart is broken 💔 so today God terry you brought so much happiness to everyone one sad day 😢

In your opinion.

The specials are Over.

@madmar10 Exactly...but at least they can be proud of being one of the greatest bands this country has seen
@@madmar10 Before you spout anymore nonsense, learn to type. You illiterate melt.
wow rat race. i laugh because it bring me down to eath ha ha ha ha
working for the "rat race"!!
Aren't we all?
I get very sentimental not seeing the original band members on stage. This is good but it does not feel the same.
i work to live not live to work ha
Quien lo diría el baterista es el de libertines
Not the same without brad on the sticks 🥲

@@AthelstanEngland Then off you f*ck, boomer.
great track but this is not the specials theres only 3 of three of them sad really & most of the crowd trying to relive their youth etc

What a miserable moron you are. Go away.

That's mods for you.
He's still better than you.
