Well, I was there and clearly remember those ginormous tv cameras + crew constantly moving around being a real nuisance to the front rows. Now Jerry and the guys were well aware of this too and after the filming was done and with the cameras gone, they promptly played the set all over again - 'and this time for real'. I can tell you that was a completely different experience for the band as well as for the audience and a great time was had by all.

I was just going to say, filming live TV shows was very very different 40 years ago. How amazing they redid the set! When the Specials first played NY in 1979/80, the club Hurrah had the gall to charge SEVEN DOLLARS...there was literally a protest with fliers everywhere because shows were never more than $5 lol

The Specials were lightning in a bottle. Jerry Dammers had a vision and assembled a perfect blend of musicians to realize it. Stupid Marriage has Terry Hall’s punk delivery and the frenzied band swirling around him cresting into a tremendous wave by the time it crashes with Gangsters. What a band. Rest easy, Terry. You’ve earned it.

I love the whole Two Tone Rude boys and girls Era! The Ska Revival of the early Eighties. The music was brilliant, hard driving, danceable, smart and fun. The Two Tone label was legendary and I like how it brought together black and white with music. Ska had the energy of Punk and it’s own fashion sense. Pork pie hats and suits with white socks. Rude boys and girls skanking all night. Great times!

So great! In our area of San Diego there were high schoolers who would travel to UK and bring back all this good stuff. No MTV for a while still. Then when MTV came on it seemed to direct/control the direction of music. It's a shame since more processed groups/music was promoted and viewers and listeners lost their ability to think on their own. The best bands since the Beatles were The Specials/The Beat/Madness/Selector and all those Two-Tone bands. I tell you, it was a good time to be in high school.
