Got to respect Madness. May not be the best musicians but they seem like a decent bunch who knew how to write catchy songs. History will be kind to them. Thanks for this respect shown to DB. Enjoyed it.

I’m another Graham who loves Madness and this lovely nostalgic view of London.

Watched suggs growing up met him in soho dropped me a tenner asked him to sign it and he refused😢...😊very nice chap if I say so myself,🫶😊✋

I’m mixed race. It sucks a lot. No identity.😊

Ah this is great seeing the people the songs is about.

It's a good album, "wonderful" has songs with new attempts like "the wizard" "johny the horse" and "dip fed fred" is a great song. It seems to me that the album came out very late, they had already been playing since '92 and this album is from '99, they overlooked Britpop when they should have had a greater presence. This album in '95 would have been fire

It's still working (Thanks)

before they were they :-)

One of there best.

Class ❤

This song IS so infinitly awesome. As well as Lee :)

My big Brother passed away yesterday morining. This band is getting me though a difficalt time in my life. Thank you Madness and thanks for posting this video.

I think the word Suggs was looking for during his vicambulist wanderings around Soho was "serendipitous". 'Serendipidy' was coined by Horace Walpole in his fairytale of 1754 'The Three Princes of Serendip'. When I was 17 (in 1981) my interpretation of the "nutty dance" to 'Baggy Trousers' was legendary- in my memory, that is. Oh what fun we had, for sure❤

Oh what fun we had...❤

My late mum was a rocker back in the 50s/60s and my dad was a mod I think that's why they never really got on lol I was born in the 70s mum used to tell me different things that happened back then, good video tho

Where are all gourock and larkfield skinheads ,and braeside😂😂😂

Awesome documentary, the interviews with the original crews really made it.

T with the Mads...

They bring back bitter sweet memories for me now. Things will never be the same in london. 😢

😂

Are there any more of these anywhere to listen to??

Now this is cool.

Not a Vape in sight. Today he'd have to walk through clouds of it in Soho

One !!! Step beyond ❤❤still love it

Love them ❤❤❤

New York City club that existed from 1980-1985 and was a premier showcase for new wave and alternative. The date of the show was May 23, 1981.

And no wankers allowed!

Grahame Greene started all this crap. I prefer The Comedians. About to do some Monsieur Barso on the Hammond (organ sound of the Casio - so not quite a Hammond)

Love it STAY NUTTY

my favorite band of all time i was a teenager when madness came out it was awesome and a brilliant time in london to see them still going strong is awesome ive seen them 17 times over the years they are brilliant live it made me take up the drums and ive been playing 20 years i still play along to all their songs in my studio they are awesome

34.15: I was a bit too young to be in either mod or rocker camps, but quite aware of it as I grew up in that time. TBH if either rockers or mods had any sense they would have taken the money offered by the press to have scuffles and then turned on the press and give them a good beating instead. The so-called mods rockers fights were about tribalism, nothing more. If nothing else it shows how much the press and media invent stories,to suit their agenda

I recall going to the Oasis a few times as a kid with my brother or friends.

This should have reached No1!..And many other Madness tracks......Lee Thompson Best Sax player I've ever heard.

Practicality never seems to figure in the discussion, it's just convenient for idealists to think those concerned over a mixed race child in the family are merely exposing some deepseated hatred and nothing more, personally I'm not in favour of mixing, but for reasons of empathy, humans (primitively like it or not) need to belong and I think mixed race folks grow up with a profound sense of culturally homelessness - unless they have two very patient, present and involved parents to guide them which is rarely the case, I'm sure many who were/are welcoming this phenomena into the family had far more pragmatic concerns that reached far further than merely "what the neighbours might say", I think Madness did a disservice to them by lazily smearing them as just one-dimensional caricatures of hate but then Madness were always just sons of oil merchants and showbiz kids on council estate safari, probably promoted as part of the same cultural/sexual takedown as so many other hired guns in the entertainment industry, some great songs tho, it's just a shame they have such little regard/contempt for their original record buying demographic who'd been conned into believing they were one of them I wonder what Suggs posh mum thought of being given an oik accent? "she dun't wanna know" she said lol

For god sake don't learn the piano.

I saw the look on your face when Steven said he lived on the other side of Piccadilly.

When Madness covered The Specials, I thought their song choice was perfect.👌

It's all a bit over the top and stereotypical. I was a mod with my Parker and scooter, but we never dressed outrageously. We weren't peacocks dressed from Carnaby street, that was just for the posers whe represented nobody

Always loved these guys

Absolutely beautiful! Hayley I away wondered about you and I am so glad things turned out well for you, I knew you were probably spoiled by your grandparents they usually end up being the most loving when theyve been the most harsh. Loved watching this. 🙂

It´s still Madness - after all these years. Thx 4 that.💖

Such a great band. Too bad they weren’t nearly as successful here in the States.

This is brilliant, I was a fan of Madness right from the start, 1980 I was 12 in my Trilby, I knew what this song was about but I didn't know it was about Lee's sister.

OK,you covered the Mods,you covered the Rockers,but you forgot the Mockers

…-and the sweetness of Madness continues. The number of people who have come up to me and have said I love ( insert metal band / rock etc etc etc etc)…. But Madness …are brilliant !🏁…and with the BBC orchestra …cmon!

Brilliant!!!
