One of the greatest bands ever. Completely unique sound.

I'm so glad I was young when Madness were young. Best times ever

I'm a 50 years old doctor, sometimes someone notice my boots and ask why i wear them. And i always answer "Once a rude boy.. always a rude boy".

I love Woody and Bedders' relationship. All of them really, just so comfortable with each other :) It's great to see.

A band that inspired happiness through music, no better gift than that

The soundtrack of my youth, brings a warmth to my heart to see the banter and the friendship. Wicked musicians and showman!

Everybody loves Madness. Even here in Southern California they were huge. Great memories from my school days. Still love 'em.

Of all the music/bands that i have loved ,madness and their music ,style and humour hold the largest spot in my heart

Today I am 49 and despite certain differences, we always admire the great British bands, I grew up listening to Madness and I remember great moments with friends, they are geniuses. Greetings from Argentina.

I grew up with the band around Highgate Road. Terry at the start was a mate of mine. He was the skinhead in the clash film rude boy. Pete magee who got arrested was my next door neighbour. Love this video lots of good memories

That's much more wonderful than any of their albums to be put on the recordplayer again 😊. It's lovely as could be!

I climbed over a fence in to see Madness at Crystal Palace Bowl in 1981 didn't have the £7 to pay sorry lads, great days.

What a great video. These lads obviously never forgot their working class roots.

1989, Australia. I mention a Madness song to a guy at school. "MADNESS?" he exclaims. "They're LEGENDARY!" I'll always remember these fine folk from their appearance on The Young Ones.

My adolescence was spent listening to and loving Ska played by Argentine bands that copied the style, clothes, and movements of Madness. Ska and Madness are part of my life and I hope someday to know the streets where it all started.

Is there another British band as beloved by EVERYONE up and down the country as Madness? I don't think so. Legends.

Well if this is Madness then I know I'm filled with gladness!

Quite a thrill for me when Suggs points out where he lay on the road in 'One Better Day' One of my favourite songs and videos. Ahhhhhh nostalgia overload, I love this band. Sound of my youth.

Why am I only finding this channel now 😢I am a massive fan of you guys .. lots of love and respect from Ireland 🇮🇪

A major turning point in my young life. 55 now but only 15 then when the Ska revival came along. As a British born of Jamaican heritage we welcomed choons we grew up on. Madness and the Specials, so many memories.

The Boys. Growing up in the 80’s there was school (boring) & then there was MADNESS!! Absolute Legendary times. What have the kids got now? Computer games, Smartphones etc! #givemethe80s.anyday

Some great history here Madness is my childhood in the early 80's

I keep watching this and want to to go back to those days(TARDIS ??) any body else feel the same ..keep safe .

Thank you Madness for all the music and joy you have given to millions over the years and still making fantastic music today

Me and my mate saw you at Birmingham Bingley Hall on the Madness Seven tour where your supporting act was the Bellstars-we were 15. That night will stay with me forever. You were bang on form. It's wonderful to see you again. I still have my Madness KZfaq nights which should be on prescription to combat the blues.

I went to see Madness when I was about 25. It was a surprise gift from my fiance may she rest in peace one of the best concerts we ever went to at the NEC Birmingham. I'm now 47 and still remember it with fond memories...

I first went to Camden Town in 1984 when I became a fan aged 13. It still holds the same excitement for me now as it did then. I grew up on the south side of the Northern line and after discovering the band, my south London roots never seemed to cut the mustard compared to the Holy Trinity of Chalk Farm, Camden Town and Mornington Crescent. Despite my best efforts I never bumped into the band members on their hallowed NW1 turf ( unlike lucky Lee) but it never mattered as in my mind, the tales I gathered would play out as I visited the "nutty" landmarks. This piece is so evocative of those times and strikes such a chord that I cannot express just how happy it makes me feel. I will be at the Roundhouse, just as I have been at Clapham, Hampstead and Central Hall this year. In 1984 I started writing on my pencil case " Be Mad Not Sad" and "Have Guts Be Nuts" I don't have a pencil case any more but I am still a Madness fan. And am likely to be until they put me in the ground. God bless the good ship Madness and all who sail in her - we truly are the chosen ones xxx

I got to know Madness through MTV during the early eighties.It all started with the “One step beyond”video and so on.I still got those Madness videos and cassettes from back then.Madness for ever!Greetings from Aruba,the Caribbean.

I love madness Since -79 First time i heard one step beyond, that was it.. Never heard anyth like it, living in Sweden.. That opened the door to the whole ska/ reggae scene, for me Prince Buster, Desmond dekker, skatalites, etc I never get tired of listening to madness. Fantastic band

For the lads, they’re just reminiscing about the good old times. Swapping stories and remembering how they became Madness.

First saw Madness in Philadelphia in August of 1983 opening for the Police at RFK Stadium - future American home for Live Aid. Brilliant legends!

Madness best band ever ever ever ever 😎😎😎😎😎

40 years ago the first ever 7" I ever spent my pocket money on was 'The Prince'.Got our tickets for Sunday 15 Dec at the Roundhouse.Going to be a fantastic night with Madness back on home turf.How many of today's 10 year old's will be writing a similar tribute in 40 years time.Glad I'm early 50's and grew up with Madness,Bad Manners,Specials.Beat etc.

Feeling very nostalgic seeing these guys walking through Camden Town. Spent a lot of time searching for records, clothes and going clubbing mid 80's to early 90s. Just a great buzz about that place during those years.... Really miss it.

"Never sell icecreams going that speed" Not same place, not same time. But that's clear friendship right there

Golden years for music, glad I grew up then and not ****ing now !

Awwwwwww ... These guys have given so much joy over the years

Still enjoy watching anything to do with Madness. The first band I ever dug.

Still can't beat Take It Or Leave It.....didn't see it till many years after it was made. I remember when I bought '7' when it came out, the inner sleeve advertised it BUT....how on earth did any people get to see it in 1980/1981?? It wasn't on telly. We didn't have VCRs then....not just yet! To this day I'm still amazed that right at their peak, they decided to go back and play THEMSELVES in their own 'rags to riches' story. Such a weird move! But hey, I still shove in the DVD and relive those early Madness days.

Loved these guys a a kid MANY years ago and love them now. Back then I lived in Kilburn VERY near to Brown's Chemist where they filmed 'House of Fun'. Ah, Happy Days.

I've followed Madness for 40 years+ and had the privilege to meet them a couple of times - the first time in a pub in Brixton just before they went on stage to play at Ian Dury's memorial concert at Brixton Academy 16 June 2000, and then when The Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra gig at Boisdale, Canary Wharf on 16 April 2016 was the centre piece of my stag do. They are always so down to earth, approachable and good humoured - - it makes being a fan a special thing

Great to to take a trip down memory lane with one of the best bands ever ! I grew up with this band absolutely brilliant! God bless you boys !

I'll never forget when our house came out. We loved it and took it into our hearts even where I grew up in the States. Thank you guys for the great times.

I love how proud Bedders is of One Better Day - It is a really beautiful song

Saw them in Cleveland, Ohio in 1983. One of the greatest shows ever. I remember they opened with “House of Fun” and closed with “One Step Beyond”. The crowd went crazy the entire time.

Absolute Fan from France. I learned english with music, I've been in London in the 80's several times to buy records, clothes and Doc Martens we didn't have in France. Really enjoyed to see pictures from that past. I returned last year, it was cheaper at this time.

Madness can always make you smile. Still have them in the car stereo, never gets boring.

Suggs has got the Micky flanagan . " Pimp walk" lovin it .

I absolutely loved this ! …love from Dublin xxx

I was 16 in 1978 and this was the top band imo then and always has been, I have there tunes banging out in my van even today. There is a nutty skin who dances on the bridge at Camden lock and I have my window down and blast out one step beyond when I see him. Top band guys fekin awesome. ❤️❤️

What a band been a fan all those 40 years seen them Live many times 💙

Great bunch of blokes! Legendary British band !

I lived in Camden back in the day. Often saw the boys out and about. Watched a few of them playing tennis a few times. Great days!

Thanks to you guys I invested in learning to play the saxophone when I was fourteen. I saw you on Top of the Pops performing One Step Beyond, and off I went to the music department to enrol. 🎷

Love Madness best band ever thanks for all the memories 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎👍

Seen them 3 times this last year and they still never fail to fill the venues and entertain the crowds, it's non stop skanking.

I'm more or less the same age as those guys. I was 18 in 1980. Great film - thanks for uploading.

Loved you since the 80s. Saw you at York race track in 20...something. I was dancing with my eyes closed, tears streaming with joy. When I opened my eyes, everybody around was just the same! Love love love.

Absolute legends.

...Stay press kegs and Grandad shirt, mis-matched lime green and florescent orange socks is the outfit of choice in Leeds in the early 80's.

Was my favorite group growing up,great song after great song.fantastic band

Great guys....best band, ever. My old boss Keith use to cut Sugg's hair & I was very fortunate enough to receive a signed album. xx

As an American kid i would watch English bands on MTV in the early 80's and I enjoyed the footage of England / London as much as the music. I was always curious what it was like to live there and invisioned myself visiting, making friends and having a great time. I used to have a Madness pin on my jean jacket.

Good old time's.. wish I could go back..life was more to live for...

Probably heard it so many times! over and over and from thousands of folk all up and down this country, but you guys were brilliant from the very get go and will never be forgotten. Just a huge thank you for creating music that has stood the test of time :)

Un peu d'histoire d'un grand groupe dont la musique contribue depuis 1985 à mon bonheur musical. Merci beaucoup pour ce documentaire. Amitiés.

Very nice stroll down memory lane fellas. I was brought up in Kentish Town & went to Haverstock School from '80 - '86 and know those locations like the back of my hand. Great stories...

So awesome to see you guys, this video is brilliant, I wish it was longer

Lovely down to earth guys.....

Brilliant lads, cheers for signing my album and fez up at Montrose,,, great to see you lads enjoying yourselfs, all the best

As a life long drummer in his 40's who still plays in a solid SOLID scene, with 25 and 30 year friends this gets me in the cockles. If you are ever in Oshawa Ontario Canada? Look us up

Great video lads. Wow, lots of tourists there now. Back in the 80’s my school mate wouldn’t stop talking about Madness. I told him he was mad and he replied ”ness” - classic.

I have walked all the streets many times, Love Camden Town, Great video see you all at the roundhouse

Hey madness, this is my memories as music as a child

2:40 Thommo TO THIS DAY giving the old bill a wide berth! Didn't even stay for the selfie. Ha ha.

Brilliant video, Superb band.

So excited. Going to see them in December!!! Can’t wait 😊

This is really good.What a great bunch of blokes indeed

I love these videos, from the stars back in the 70s and 80s, and still are. But these guys day is fading, really hence the reasons I enjoy them. Thanks guys. Thank you for sharing your story, believe it or not, it is important. Thank you.

Used to get my Bovver Boots from Holts in the early 80's.

Wish I had the $ to fly over and see one of those gigs. I saw them for the 1st time in '81 I think, at UCLA. Great fun. They had Paul Carrack playing keys with them and he played a solo version of "Tempted". Great days for music. Peace.

Please come to the states!

I desperately want to see Madness live! I am 54 and have adored them since the early 80's. Trying to find a way to get to England :( totally love Woody and Lee!

Loved madness back in the day,and eventually seen them last year in copenhagen...1 of the best concerts i been 2...foxtrotted from start 2 finish...top knotch.

Shame Mike Barson wasn’t in this video, he is a very funny bloke.

Madness forever !! Greetings from Rovigo (Italy)

Fantastic set at The Downs, Bristol over the weekend.

Amazing tour wow thankyou loved you Madness in the 80 s as a teen thanks for the memories

Imagine the stories these Boys could tell 😎

Bought my Crombee from Bondage and General in Southampton near the theatre where Madness were playing, think it was 1981. I've seen them a few times over the years. Lee Thompson & Madness is the reason I've finally started to learn to play the tenor saxophone. MADNESS superb!!! 🎷😎

My favourite band since being a teenager in the 80's, have "One Step Beyond" as my ringtone. "Walking with Mr Wheeze" is my favourite instrumental of any out there, can listen to it on repeat for ages!

born and breed camden lad for 55 years now no all the gaffs you mentioned, going for a pint in the ice great to see you all back in camden town cheers

great memories as a kid. when madness came on at the school disco thats when the dudes got up to dance - bless you guys for being there where we needed you and making my childhood bearable and fun... funny how walking through Camden and most folk don't realise they are in the presence of legends...

So glad I was born when I was and brought up with such great music . Still love this band to this day. Quintessentially English.

Never got the chance to see these boys live, a colourful band full of life and energy with top songs, you can’t beat a bit of madness

I remember seeing Woody in Supreme Drums in Walthamstow circa 1989. What a legend

Excellent love Madness

love these guys since i was a kid right up to today as an aging ol skin , loved every minute

Brilliant, I went to see Suggs one man show here in my home town of Aberystwyth, awesome night. Always been a fan and follower of Madness. Top Dollar film boys 😎

the lads! the lads! thank you! I have the biggest smile.
