Fat boy slim keeping this alive 👏🏻👏🏻🙌

Great. 'Bright Lights' one of my favourite Special AKA songs. Who is the female vocalist on the right ?

Great, still, nothing less

I played this once...once.

GREAT!!!

Ultra Ska❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Luv

Simon hitting the timbales was the best part.

Got 45 rpm😊

Classic 2tone😊

I still remember watching this and being completely blown away...

Thanks for posting this mike. Do you have any more footage from the more specials tribute band?

Wow! I'm 55 years old and halfway through reading Too Much Too Young the Story of 2 Tone. I had no idea about the Swinging Cats being part of the 2 Tone story. This just blew me away! What an amazing song and performance. Great find - thanks mike1970c

Alcohol gives me chicken skin every time I hear it, then right on cue my toes start tapping with the rest of em and I cannot stop until it’s over

Fantastic, Thank you. One doesn't see much footage of Special AKA in performance, so a treasure. Think Rhoda is at her prime here.

RIP Claudia Fontane I used to see her as a back up singer with Afridisiac in TOTPS so many times.

Fucking brilliant I was a 14 year old .. fa u wa standin on di corner givin trouble wen the police come u said you heve t move..on di double yeah !..

Pienso que no hay nada más repugnante que una violación. Nunca deberían salir de la cárcel los violadores-as.

Always thought it was "met her in the bathroom". 😄

The Specials spearheaded the2 tone movement, in the same way the Sex Pistols spearheaded punk.

Went to watch this band in The Warehouse in Liverpool , great gig , they were signed to Two Tone records ,sadly split no long later

Roddy Radiation...what a guitarist.

What a drop in standard from what the specials were doing just a couple of years prior. I loved ska/ 2 tone and was so disappointed when I heard this rubbish being played.

RIP Claudia Fontaine

Maravillosos ❤

Grandes!!!!

Legendary!!! Great times thank you for posting!😎💯💣

Previšeeee suza bilo jeeee

I wouldn't have been able to stand still while watching this. I probably would've tried dancing around...to get up as close as poss...then throw myself on stage with them...just to 'touch'...nothing sinister...lol. Awesome !!!

never saw this live performance..............thanks

These guys are awesome !! Such young lads! I just read a comment that Terry was only 19 at this time !! Wow ! Missing you Terry xxx Thanks mike1970c

The fact that Enjoy Yourself plays right after this makes it unexpected and even more chilling.

Terry you are a pure Special genius x Im wondering now why you have departed this life xx You were much too young , now we have all the time in the world to remember you , Thank you for keeping us fans happy all these decades xxx lol Jane x💗💗💗💗💗

I first heard this song at the end of 1983, as Jerry Dammers said ‘you can only listen to it once’

Rhoda looks uncannily like Tracey Thorn in this.

Is this available unedited ???? Please

Was this a true story?

Unfortunately that's not live as some dimwit has clearly dubbed the studio recording on top.

My uncles pub the old Bell Kilburn high road. I was 12. Amazing night.

Terry looks sharper than Mr Weller here

Sounds like the Modettes

I remember hearing this on KROQ of LA back in 1979. Great then Great now. Oi! to The Specials.

Yep - had forgotten this Classic. Thanks for REMINDING us of a "virtually forgotten track" 🎶

Who is the presenter?!

AMAZING -- thank you so much for posting this . . . Rest in Peace and Power, Terry Hall -- i consider myself lucky and blessed to have been at this show, so many many years ago . . . TOO HOT indeed!!! (and iirc, this was in Winter, and really freaking COLD that night!) . . . and true, regardless of film/editing "quality," this TOTALLY captures the ENERGY, what it really felt like to be there :)

So good! :0)

What a tune, all-time greats the Specials of Coventry.

This group came and went away in a blink. Great to see this after such a long time.

"What you gonna do, when morons come for you? And they won't go away, they want the whole world painted grey" Wise warning and we heeded. RIP Terry.

What a loss.. legend ..This is the end...RIP
