RIP Terry Hall 😪. I was there, they were fab.
Same. A privilege
Me too :)
RIP Terry! Legendary band and frontman.
Terry Hall had a distinctive and immediately recognizable voice. He will be missed in the current sea of musical stagnation.
Terry Hall was a brilliant 18yr old front man.......can't get another 18 yr old like that today. RIP Terry Hall
when the first i listen to the specials a year ago, watchin the official video of this song, Terry, i can see your sadness, your eyes..and i read his life, man you had the tough life. i relate to you because i was abused too thats my all time pain, now, you at peace man! 😭
R.I.P. Terry Hall.
This is a band that always give to their audience's, brilliant.
Very sad to hear of Terry Hall passing. Specially because that band was so joyous while still treating serious social issues. A fantastic band.
The drummer is so on point. Deep in the pocket
Terry said it best at the end there: Love, Love, Love. Rest in peace ❤️
I was there. A tremendous set, the sun going down added to it.
A criminally underrated rhythm section. Hope this is a spring board for people to jump into some real roots reggae and dub
Yep, I sure have. And for once, Pandora and Spotify have really helped me to learn some older ska artists--even a Manhattan jazz orchestra playing a Ska or reggae version of Take Five--and some marginally talented new groups--Gentleman's Dub Club. I'm steeped in the Ska now.
underrated... THE MOST OVERUSED WORD IN MUSIC VIDEO COMMENTS...
@@thornil2231 I guess there is always a danger of a word being over used if you repeat it from another comment
the specials were my first taste of ska after listening to rancid, along with some other ska punk bands. these guys are just unbelievable. skinhead symphony live can literally bring tears to my eyes. so terribly sad to have heard of Terry's death.
Just brilliant. What a band.
Very special
I was there, right at the front and my first ever Glasto! RIP Terry Hall.
RIP Terry Hall, you will always be so Special. God Bless You Always xx
Who's here right now appreciating the f*ck out of this band right now.... I know I am & I didn't really like their music back then but I realize just how special they were RIP Terry Hall
I always loved them. Have you heard Fun Boy Three? You might also like his other projects "Vegas" and "The Colourfield". Vegas is Hall and David A Stewart. Great stuff too.
@@swingersonian just listened to fun boy three WOW they were great & did collaborations with Bananarama too WOW
Legends.
Loved this when it was first released.
Never see a band like this again eamon cuddy
Legends ❤
What at great performance. Respect
What a load of nostalgia
The band still look fantastic. The crowd were really loving it.
Julia the band found statics
@@leehoneybourne6513 found what, babes?
What they sound like is more important than what they look like
@@thomasedmundrichards just a bit of ego massage and yes they sound great
i was here, amazing show.
Rest in peace, Terry Hall, you are was one the Specials ! 😥
la bella generazione
Classic specials rip Terry
Worth to note is that The Prodigy, the huge fans of The Specials did the cover of this song, it's quite rare, as it only appeared on the Charity compilation, but it's worth to listen
That compilation was released on digital platforms sometime last year
I'm surprised that The Prodigy can play real music!!
@@swingersonian Wow, that's rude.
@@swingersonian always did :P
@@YershJRSZnaw, they finally got some guitar and piano lessons after their one inexplicable top 40 piece of shite single.

Lol 😂
Omfg

Working for the rat race you're no friend of mine
Terry Hall
I heard the news
At 4.30 a.m. exactly
I knew it would hurt
And it did so badly
A voice that blew away the fluff of the 80’s
A sincere stare
And words that were rich and plenty
I heard the news
At 4.30 a.m. exactly
I knew it would hurt
And it did so badly
An honesty that left you feeling less alone
A life of pain
etched in words that could have been my own
I heard the news
At 4.30 a.m. exactly
I knew it would hurt
And it did so badly
I heard your voice
And it rings in my head so beautifully
I know it will stay, in the echo chamber
Of my memory

Tremendous, David. Just Smashing. People don't say 'smashing' anymore in England, do they? Sorry. It hurt reading this, but I really feel your pain. I'm a long-time fan from the U.S.
@@swingersonian thank you for your kind words
@@swingersonian yeah they dont
RIP Terry Hall

Rip Terry!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏!
Rip terry 💙
👏👏👏👏
Missing you already Terry
0:09 If I was there, I would be like Lily Allen and wanted to dance with her like this hahah
Thought I recognised her!
@@MrMargo48 Clocked her straight away. One thing the Beeb didn't need to broadcast.
Not one place I’d wanna be more then here
🌏☮️🎼👏🏻🍧
Que de más loco
Love this 01:39
One of the Best gonna shake the šky
And now we stand for the Irish National Anthem......
So sad RIP
Rip Terry 😢
R.I.P. Terry
There's Terry and sugsy from madness that sound like no one else
R I P Terry
fucking god bass bruh
Rip terry hall
MR TERRY LIVE FOREVER
⬛⬜️⬛⬜️ RIP Terry ⬛⬜️⬛⬜️
like the Becks beer bottle trick
Awesome RIP Terry x
Man, they sounded like they hadn’t played together in a long time. Amazing amazing song. Terribly uneven performance.
It's the sound balance. The flute guy was barely in the mix, as was the backing vocals, and the drums had too much top-end. If they'd recorded on individual instrument tracks and mixed the audio afterwards, it would sound 300% better. Terry was a little flat in spots though, but hitting the highs becomes harder with age.
Is that Lily Allen at 0:10 ?
Irelands national anthem
Irish national anthem
Man what happened to MC Ride?
I think I remember the good old days before the LOCK DOWN -- Whoops -- Ghost town.
As relevant to life during the riots of 1981 as it is to life in any decaying port town of the North East of England in 2024.
Ive played the specials self titled vinyl over and over 1000s of times.
The vocals on this performance were horrible.
They're a punk band what were you expecting. It's raw, perfect
@@tcarter1927 no theyre Ska and Ive seen tons of their live performances. It was shit.
i like this version, it adds a sense of fear from the vocalist
To be fair many many visitors are high and drunk so i guess the vocals do not matter^^
The instruments were pretty shoddy too
0:08 Lily Allen
At first, I feel bad for a while, but then I just watch Madness, I go ahead and watch Madness
In love with her dance and enthusiasm...
In love with her dance and enthusiasm...
@@andremontoro vile woman!
This song is always gonna be a good track but this performance is terrible.
Do you think they are a Glastonbury band ?
I was there, the soundboard doesn't sound as if it's mixed well (the levels are absolutely all over the place, especially Terry's mic, 00:52 the guitarists mic is up nearly higher than his 🤷). When you're standing in the main cage a few feet away they sounded amazing, especially when he threw the main line at 1:27. Unfortunately a remaster of the levels need to be done here as the sound engineer has done a bad job.
A painful truth I cannot find a good one
Band so good they even get Elon Musk on the flute!!!! Proper geezers
0:09 lilly Allen having a ball.
Jesus Christ, that sounded terrible.
Why is Elon Musk playing the flute ? At 0.20 seconds.
Elon Musk on the flute
Yeah was here for this and it was terrible live, also kasabian either before or after was also terrible
Just burst my terry hall bubble, this is awful
It took a racially and culturally diverse band to highlight and encapsulate the problems of a racially discriminating, mono-cultural society.
This is awful
Rudddde boys take over the stage
