Rest in peace Terry and John. Thank you for your invaluable contributions to music and to humanity. ❤️ This is not 'the end'. Your legacies live on.
très juste!
❤️
Too true
300% agree rip John and Terry and my late wife would have been her 48 birthday 😢sad day 4 me kerry rip
Very true, my 18 year old son is playing this in his bedroom. Gone too soon ❤
It might be a sad day as Terry Hall has died, but his music with The Specials still lives in our hearts, souls and ears. The music of Terry Hall has not lost anything of its power and strength. History repeats itself, so, each and every song is as topical and accurate as when it was written some 40 years ago... #RIP, Terry. My thoughts are with family, friends and colleagues. Thank you for giving my musical taste the upbeat of ska and your lyrics to guide me through live.
So well said. Love love love ❤
The Specials are as relevant as ever. The same Tory government, the same economic crisis, the same non-solutions to real problems and the same demagogues trying to distract us normals by trying to create racial anger. Who will outsmart and outstyle the dividers now? Somebody has to.
Nice one totally agree rip Terry and John
😂@@Drew-fg3xi
So sad and so right with you song s
And a sad day today as Terry leaves us. RIP. I played these albums so much as a teenager growing up back in the day, I’ve watched video so many times and unfortunately have never seen them live. Thank you so much for the great music and memories 👏👏👏👏
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think. Great mantra to live by. I love Terry&Co; always will.
Rip terry
Always wanted to see them,so decided to it's now or never in Birmingham a few years ago, best night in forty years
Same here m8 1st class
Every time I listen to this, a 62 year old is instantly 18 again....that is the gift you guys and your music give to so many. Sad that this wont happen again, but there are some great tribute acts keeping it going...and I will dance to this til I (happily) drop.
ps. How many times these days do you see an audience totally absorbed and dancing and enjoying the performance like this and not standing like statues recording on their phones. They are Special.😎😎
in my case it's a 69-year-old is 30 again - loved these guys, so glad I saw the lads in Vancouver
I'm also 62 . Absolutely.
Loved the 80's The Specials,madness ,The Beat .🎶 Best times 👍
Ditto Me too and a Big Shout to all the Rude Boys and Real Skinheads out There and Jog On any Racist or Bigoted Idiots !
Exactly listen and dance, not spend the night trying to video and take photos, Berlin clubs ban any fotos being taken, sticker is put over ur camera lens, u take it off ur out the door, sooner it happens here the better 🙏
I still go to Ska gigs on a regular basis, and crowds there go bananas on a just as regular basis. Then again, if you can stand still when a good Ska band (and yes, there are plenty mediocre ones out there) is playing, you should not be listening to Ska.
I saw them for 3rd time at the Richoe centre in Coventry for their 30th anniversary . They played ghost town ..I stopped dancing and just stared at them .. tears streaming down my face ...think OMFG it's the specials and I here with them . Few songs
Nevel staples went on the mic and stopped the music . Said a huge thank you to the crowd and said you've made 8 60 year old blokes so happy he had tears and struggled to speak we had tears ...I lost it at that point . Straight into concrete jungle omg the place erupted ....never been so happy in my life
The best ska band ever! Rest in peace Terry!
What a truly amazing comeback performance this is - long live the Rude Boy!
After 38 years..they are still amazing !!!
The Specials are very special
a quick look at the audience and you see Tony Soprano dancing side by side with his daughter (well, at least a couple of look-alikes) - where else would you have the chance to be part of such a gathering? great!
RIP Terry Hall 😞
Too true I agree,100%
I’m so privileged to be a 70s kid, to see these amazing bands, to be apart of that era. Best times ever! RIP Terry 💔
Same here rip Terry john
Not just brilliant !!! But surely one of the best bands britain has ever produced !!! Even now they sound more current and interesting than anything the kids of today are listening to! 😎👍
Absolutely. I appreciate them more now than when I was 7. Lol
Hands down the BEST ska band from that era!
Absolutely MJ. It`s a 'no contest'
I beg to differ.I got into The Specials and The Selecter at the exact same time in the 80s. The selecter is first, deeper bass and drums, rude all the way, The Specials are number 2 for sure.But, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love The Specials too, I just know that The Selecter had ( originally) an all black line- up that was tight as fuck, along with Pauline Blacks vocals. The Specials, of course had more male energy.And I've seen them both live, been in London where Jerry Dammers bought me drinks at Ronnie Scott's club.I play both of their music, bass & drums.🤔👀🙏
Don’t forget Madness !

+Hajime Saito cheers buddy
The Specials, The Beat, The Selector, what an amazing time to grow up in the Midlands. Great mix of people making great music without any BS. Love and remembrance to Rankin Roger who took me and my best friend Yad to see the Specials at Brixton Academy - I night I will never forget.
wow, what a companion to take you, Roger was so great
Don’t forget Madness and Bad Manners….. both bands along with the Bodysnatchers have to be on that list.
And Slade 😎

every song legend and unforgettable
indeed, sir, indeed
Thanks, man!
Such a very sad loss but what a guy.
One of the best bands we ever produced in this country that got us dancing into a frenzy, as well as raised our awareness as well. How anyone can't dance to this is beyong me (although I tried it to Skinhead Symphony 2 years ago & it damn near killed me, hehe).
RIP Terry. Brad will have a cold one waiting for you when you are reunited. Rest easy & thanks. Your music WILL live on 😎😎
Tight as fook....
I often watch gigs on RUclips, usually skipping any crap bits
Not 1 second is skipped when I watch this
I ordered the DVD after seeing this :)
I've watched this concert numerous of times, and not missed a single second of it.
It's just pure class.
Actually it's
Special.
Amazing night so special man we these days. What is
No words to describe what I feel when I see these guys playing... They're just the best... Long live SKA and the TWO-TONE scene...
The SPECIALS will always rule...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've never seen this before, absolutely fantastic, and when he said Merry Christmas it brought a lump to my throat, RIP Terry, gentleman and legend.
Watching this Xmas 2022, Rest in Peace Terry Hall. Thank you for your priceless contribution to a unique UK sound that united a generation. Respect Rudeboy!
They influenced my youth pretty strongly. Finally, in 2014. I went to Amsterdam to see them live. And they delivered - one of the best gigs of my life, and I've really seen my share. RIP Terry!
Agreed. The touring 10cc are also fabulous live.
It's great to see these guys together again, still sounding amazing. Their importance in helping bridge racial gaps thru music cannot be overstated.
Fucking brilliant
Come on kick d bucket
or you could've just said a group of lads having a brilliant time, fucking idiot trying to pick up browny points
@@jeffrussell488 Except for the fact that bridging the racial gap was, in fact, a stated goal of Two Tone, and so it is very relevant to mention it. Trying to get *Brownie points. Fucking idiot.
@@jeffrussell488 a racist indeed , we did not needed their crap back then to be friends
The influence they had on the genre and music in general can't be overstated enough. I remember being in teens and buying the import 12" of ghost town with that amazing cover with two skeletons at the piano. They spoke truth to power without being so heavy handed, obvious or preachy. It was just wrapped and delivered in such way that automatically had you moving. The message was snuck in with all that skankin. I'm so happy I was able to catch them twice when they reformed. RIP Terry and John. Your legacy will live on.
Been so sad since Terry Hall died, but this video has brightened things up a lot. Amazing band. Rest in peace Terry and John
300% rip John and Terry god bless😢
Could say it anybetter nice 1 so sad Terry passing
Didnt know they passed. RIP
I'm grateful to have listened to this music and it caught my ear as a young kid in Oregon.
Still loving it and lots of respect to the 2 Tone
Me too so sad😢
Same here me to god bless macca
RIP John Bradbury "thanks for the memories"
@michael hall
A brilliant drummer. Neville Staple said John Bradbury was one of only two white drummers he knew of who could play reggae properly (the other one being the drummer of UB40).
@@johnnyb8825 Damn, he's just a brilliant drummer, regardless of style. I get the impression he could play anything he bloody wanted. One of the very best drummers of all time, in my opinion.
@@canadianroot
Yes, I agree. I am an amateur drummer and I'd love to be able to play like him!
@@johnnyb8825 I'm an amateur amateur drummer, and I'd love to be able to play like you!
No band has a better snare sound. Love them rimshots.
Aaaah mate. That nice a-capella piece in the middle of Nite Klub where an army of 40-50 year old blokes and birds sing every line to that song like they're back in 1979, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, MATE. A blindin' bit of trip down memory lane!
too true, i saw them in utrecht last month and newcastle last year, and i was, and still am one of those blokes (and probably always will be), they were sensational!
Good on yer, mate! A Rudeboy for Life !
The original black and white. I was one of those 40-50 year olds. Good times.
Greatest1979
That was fun,and evn though I kept saying that I was gonna stop watching after this or that song, I still ended up watching the whole thing---nice trip down memory lane for me, too! I remember all those songs---even the ones I didn't know were really good.
+Greatest1979, ...hahaha, .........all the-- girls are slags ..and the-- beer tastes just like piss,
...lol ;)
Was lucky enough to see this reunion tour. What a blast! Also saw them back in the day when I was a teenager. The Specials were a part of my musical landscape. So important. RIP, Terry. Thanks for all the dancing!
i was so lucky to be a young man when all this new music came out, skins, punk , new wave, and the good old heavy metal, i enjoyed all of it and still do, i have over 3000 pieces of vinyl to remind me of those exciting times. who watches tv when you can see bands like this every night on youtube
3000? WOW THAT'S GREAT
yeah !!!! you definitely have a biiiig collection - i have only 400 - this vinyl was literally consumed when i was 18 - and now i hear the same exact sound and energy - really unbelievable
Wooow 😍
I learnt that Brad has passed away only today.
First Rico, and now Brad. This is sad.
We will wail for you, brother. Rest in peace.
Its a previlage to have lived and loved through this genre of music THE SPECIALS MADNESS THE BEAT SELECTER just different class GOD BLESS THEM ALL
Gerard Kelly Ditto, Enough Said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They didn't teach you rite
I’m so jealous, I was born in 2000 but was brought up on this music I’d give anything to go back in time and see bands like that 🥺
@@lizziesmith5835 You are blessed with a good sense for music.
Let the seed grow. I feel the same with Elvis, Buddy Holly and the Sex Pistols for example , important is to feel the music.
the 2tone dance fucking brilliant
the perfect ska sound, even after 30 years
bang on
closer to 40 now lol
The greatest band of the last 50 years without a doubt. I listen to obscure metal these days but my youth is forever 2Tone and Terry Hall.
They were ground breaking but there are other great bands out there. Art/pop/rock 10cc, indie/rock/baroque pop The Divine Comedy. Squeeze were great too. All these bands are still banging live. 💃
Defiantly 300%
Brilliant musicianship, brilliant performance, brilliant vocals. John Bradbury, a style all your own, Neville, come back! Mr Hall & Co, amazing :)))))))
Totally agree !!!!!! Yes yes yes I do do do
Listening to and watching this i am i awe of how good a drummer Prince Rimshot really was and how essential he was to the sound of The Specials.
Oh, hell yeah. Thank for providing his name!
They've had drummers since John Bradbury died and in normal circumstances you'd say they were a great drummer. However there is nobody to stand up to his standard and especially his feel. Just completely unique and sadly missed.
@@craiglewis6145 best drummer was Lloyde Knibbs
Long live The Specials! RIP John Bradbury.
So so sad. Learnt a lot from him as a drummer.
Bitter Sweet
Oh my god I love this band, We are going miss you Terry! God bless!!
We are
RIP Terry Hall. Your influence and contributions to the world of music will never be forgotten. They are both timeless.
Why are Specials not a super group? Their songs are all Number One Hits!!!
two tone the specials the best
RIP Terry! You and your music impacted a lot our lives! 2 tone forever!
28:10, terry hall is smiling
ha caught it!!!!
Muy poco timep, pero si, sonrio
Wow!
NO ITS WIND !
glad they got it on film!
I so wish I'd had a chance to see them live !!!
That drumming in Blank Expression is beyond perfection!
From 21.30 if anyone's interested! Genius!
@@TheHelensp Thanks! That intro for Do the Dog aint too shabby either. You know its show time!
John Bradbury was one of the greatest drummers ever. Superb feel and individual sound, a big part of the Specials sound.
Absolute legend at going from cross strokes to snare drum fills with rimshots galore. Genius style.
SOOOO sooo happy Terry Hall got help for his depression.
It's not just depression though is it.....
He is bipolar, which can never be cured, only managed, he has to have anti psychotic drugs injected into him either fortnightly, or monthly for the rest of his life, The Specials are fucking ace, I absoloutely love 'em, the second album I ever bought was more Specials, peace
Bi polar , very different from depression, I know too well :-(
@@carl8726 ☹️
Bi Polar gives you that creative edge though "Up and down like a brides nightie" as my dad described me
This is a huge, packed concert hall; ages i'm sure ranged teen to 60's and the entire place is dancing the whole time! Only SKA can provide that energy
It's quite a pitty I never saw them....
I can remember watching them play Glastonbury and Amy Winehouse came on stage and was shouting at the crowd "don't you realise how lucky you are to be watching this band, fucking dance!!!"
The crowd may as well had been watching paint dry for all the interest they were showing. Just goes to prove the saying " you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink "
I never got to see them, RIP Mr. Bradley and Mr.Hall xxx
One of my favorite bands. Just a 'good feeling' kind of music to escape to. Brings back a flood of memories. Thanks!
we all get old; but youth is easy to remember/this put a tear in me eye/memories are forever thank ska gods!!!!
Well put. "Do Nothing" is one of the most sublime singles I've ever heard. Odd it escaped my notice for decades.
[I'm in California, grew up in '80s Central Valley and this band was off-radar at the time. Being a skatepunk I had tapes of The Beat, saw UB40 w/Chrissy Hynde @Berkeley Greek Theatre ~ '87.... but there was little else of English Ska breaking through around here. Squares stopped at The Police, while the stoners and DeadHeads might be into reggae. Little else _ska-related_ made it out here, and until 311 broke on MTV most Yanks had never heard of it.]
@@shaft9000 the whole 2tone movement was pretty big in US 1979-1980s, spawned a lot of ska bands from Heavy Manners in Chicago to Housewives Choice in Austin TX
Well said.
How anyone can vote this thumbs-down is incomprehensible...
ISIS members.
For some bizarr reason some folk don't feel da riddim....I suffer from that when the likes of Hawkins play mathmusic and naming it Free Jazz to confuse us...
100% agree.
Racists? White supremacists? Morons? Country fans?

La única que e escuchado
Cuál me recomiendas?
Have you tried dancing for a couple of hours to The Specials, non stop and knocking on. It's the best feeling ever. Amazing who you meet in the pubs before a gig😎😎
Liverpool 69er my knees are still in agony a fortnight after seeing them in nottinham haha the joys of middle age 😊😊😊
wee brendan I now have arthritis in one of me knees which I'm sure has come on from dancing like a loony at all the gigs/festivals I've been too. Every gig overrides the pain I'm in now though because of the memories I have, even though I can't remember quite a few 😎😎😎😜
Modette69er Northern Soul long live Northern Soul
@@weebrendan4405 hi. I have music arthritis to. Oh but wasnt it wirth it all hey. The memories will remain with us forever, even though a lot of memories are blurred by all that was on offer, especially in the pubs before the gigs. Keep skanking mate.
As a teenager we used to skank, pogo and smash into each other on the dancefloor to this great music. Then I saw them live 5 years ago and left with a busted meniscus in my left knee LOL. I was in pain BUT ecstatic that I just saw one of the greatest bands ever. And I got to take a week and a half off work LOL
Saw them in back 1980 a huge part of my life, got a skinhead the weekend after seeing Gangsters on Top of the Pops! Then the comeback in Brixton 2009 and probably even better... me and pretty much all the old boys around me had tears in our eyes. RIP Brad and El Tel.
Amazing sound! RIP Bradbury!!!!! Specials 4 ever!
Eighties hits
The spot on band of the time, madness never stood a chance
yes - the specials were - special -
Madness were great as well
On a coin for me..Terry and Suggs both great front men...and a place for both...
@@midlifebiker7424 Terry isn't the best singer, but overall The Specials can't be beaten for their live gigs. I saw them live in Australia years ago and still one of the best gigs I've ever been to. That was a very very very long time ago.
I saw all the 2tone bands when they toured the US: Madness was hilarious, Specials were a wall of talent and The Beat was lightning in a jar - all so amazing. Never saw so much dancing outside of Latin musics
The brilliant terry hall and the specials🙏🙏🙏
Two-tone tonic trousers, tassle loafers n white socks, black Fred Perry, yellow trim, black Harrington. I was 13!
This band, more than any other, opened up the world of Ska and Rocksteady to those that were curious enough to dive in. Thanks to all The Specials for their great gift to British culture. 😎🏁
God bless John and Terry REST IN PEACE thank u 4 last nearly 50 years completely 500% brilliant loved it then when we were SKINS u now can join and meet my late wife kerry xxx this king ov y 3 always 😢
Absolutely legendary! Rest in peace Terry Hall 🌹
If I met Marty Mcfly, I'll beg him to take me back to this gig
Terry Hall's voice sounds exactly the same.
Hearing the news that John Bradbury has passed away brought me here. So glad I did. I feel 18 again!!!!!! RIP John.
I just can't get enough of this, they all sound as if it was 1978.. peak just superb 🥰
Totally agree
What a great live band!! Man I wish saw them live. Everybody was bang on. That guitarist is fantastic.
i went to newcastle for their first gig in28 years. never had a ticket paid 90 quid to a tout. best 90 quid ive ever spent.
I had the opportunity to watch them a couple of years ago in Mexico City (born and raised) and it was one of the best concerts ever, everyone was dancing, with no fights, skins, and punx everywhere, enjoying themselves. So sad to hear about Terry but so happy that they brought so much joy into my heart when I was a teenager.
What a great concert to enjoy to help me overcome my sadness from knowing about Terry's suffering and passing. I am so glad they had this awesome show recorded.
Totally agree
Rest in peace, Terry. Thanks for your music, and I hope the specials go on this important music.
1979 , what a boss time to be alive and young . All hail the specials and Two Tone
The Specials minus Jerry Dammers, who wrote most of these songs and would love to be playing with his old bandmates? Bullshit
Tú música siempre va estar en nuestros corazones grande Terry Hall gracias por haberme dado la dicha de verte en México 🏁😔😢 2 tone por siempre
horace panter with firebird bass there, brilliant
Thunderbird bass.... lol.
Horace is awesome.
So sad to hear of Terry’s passing…..RIP and thanks for incredible musical memories.
Great to see no negative comments, the specials were special and bring back great memories of great times
I discovered this band late, but I think they are the best, not just special!
Specials are not the Specials without Dammers. Compare this version of 'Dawning' to the original ... Dammers' organ licks make it a different track. These are a tribute band.
Agree, it was glaringly obvious where the real talent lay once Fun Boy Three formed. It's no wonder why Jerry refused "Lunatics" as a Specials single and was never keen on songs written by other band members.
Feeling so sad for Terry's passing. Meet him years back in a show here in the Philippines. He is super accomodating to those who wanted to have a photo of him. One of my fave bands and front men :(
John and Terry - thank you, thank you for bringing so much joy and thoughtful music that touched our lives for decades. So sad as you leave us far too soon - from Canada.
me encanta esta banda ...the specials la mejor ...
Saw them last Tuesday at The Apollo Manchester, bloody fantastic! 34 years since I last saw them, still brilliant ......... the memories came flooding back.
I saw them at Coventry Richo arena for their 30th anniversary homecoming gig They blew the place apart awesome I had been waiting to see them since I was a ten year old who had just bought Gangsters and fallen in love. They were worth the wait. Went on to see them in Blackpool and Manchester but nothing beat their homecoming
Lucky to have watched them live a few times .
Brighton last year absolutely brilliant.
RIP Terry and thanks for the memories as a reminder to us all like the last song says Enjoy yourself x
i'm so crazy about this band since high school
RIP "Rico" Rodriquez and John "Brad" Bradbury... Thank you for entertaining us and being a part of our youth culture and beyond!
Was 17 when these boys came out bloody loved them and the Beat etc.
Just found this... what a fab trip down memory lane! God they were brilliant! Still are!! Fantastic!!
Me too!!
@@mdfrenchy Me Three!!
before rap was a thing there was the Specials
WE BEAT THE NATIONAL FRONT THESE DUDES SPARKED A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION
R.I.P. john (mate)
Lots of hate at the time...Specials and Madness bought in the carnival music...spend the night dancing not fighting...
Unbelievable to think this will never ever happen again so sad thank you so much for the Music 👏🏻 👏🏻
I could live inside this video forever. We missed you, Jerry! And we all miss Rico and Brad dearly.
Any drummer wanting to nail 2tone/Ska/Ska Punk/Whateveryouwannacallit needs to study every drum beat in this concert. R.I.P. J.B. Such a unique sound that influenced so many.
Prince Rimshot was a legend on the drums. RIP JB
Tough times and Coventry was a "Ghost Town" but music was an expression...wearing Specials and Madness badges on the pilot jacket..after a freshly shaven skin lol
Ahhh no mamen, mi tío que es como mi padre y yo teníamos la ilusión de que the specials viniera a México. El los escucha desde que era adolescente y yo desde pequeño solo los escuchaba ocasionalmente cuando el encendía la radio y desde que cumpli 18 y me hice un poco mas consciente y que me interese mucho por el ska 2tone, me hacia ilusión verlos pero creo que les pasara lo mismo que a linkin park y ya no tocarán mas. Solo espero ver a Madness 😖
still makes the hair stand up on my arms and neck,not just a band but a movement,superb
...most likely to be the first human being this side of the pond to run around sporting a 'SPECIALS' T-shirt ...I no longer have the checkerboard shirt but the SPECIALS are still BRILLIANT!
A brilliantly shot video. Thank you so much.
I can almost imagine myself there - and right back in mad teens. I wouldn't want to go back to my teens for love nor money, but might be worth it for moments such as these. Gutted to have missed the chance to be there. I hope to get another chance before I pop it - but maybe not a great idea - sure to shed tears openly for dearest Brad.
Love The Specials but never got to see them. I've seen Madness twice and The Selecter once. RIP Terry.
1979/80 what a great time to be at school!!
There was and always will be one Terry Hall
ska supposed to sound like this!
yeah - i consumed this vinyl when i was 18 - energy joy and crazyness all over the place - i can't believe how they play live - same energy oomph voice of Terry super -
El que está en el teclado es Jerry Dammers?
@@vadimislearningguitar4977 I saw The Specials play live many years ago and it remains in my top five gigs I have seen, and I've seen a lot of bands play live.
@@misterdavid5400 :) i am not surprised at all - i haven't seen them live - i live in italy - but the specials are really special for me - because in those years when they came out - i used to go to england to practice english - and their music is the symbol of teenage - followed terry hall in the colorfield band - which i liked a lot - i also have been making some reggae ska music with my computer and i can see some influence from them --- and then listening to their reunion concerts i discovered that they are seriously good musicians that have not lost the sparkle -
@@vadimislearningguitar4977 Thanks so much for replying. I am not from West Midlands where I lived for a while. But I am actually living in Eastern Europe. I would love to collaborate.
R.I.P. Terry Hall. ‘Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think...’😞
"You can take the boy out the West Midlands" - I'm a girl been gone from Brum ten years but still a Brummie and West Midlands girl.
Okay, RIP John Bradbury. But what about Jerry Dammers who these guys buried years ago. Buried alive. Dammers wrote most of these songs. It's a fucking disgrace
Es una tristeza que ya no volveremos a verlos nunca más 😭, hasta siempre Terry y Bradbury!!! Gran banda The Specials,no entiendo porque Jerry Dammers no quiso reunirse con ellos 😢.
