Madness - One Step Beyond 1981 live in Hamburg

Hamburg 29.11.81
Hey you, don't watch that, watch this. This is the heavy heavy monster sound. The nuttiest sound around! So if you've come in off the street, and you're begining to feel the heat, well listen buster, you better start to move your feet to the rockinest rocksteady beat of madness! One Step Beyond!!

Remember this is 1981 and the whole punk/ska thing was not entirely accepted by the mainstream listening public at that time. The music was still kind of in it's infancy. For people who at that time were used to listening to bands like Rush, Journey, Styx, Laura Branigan, Rod Stewart, Kim Carnes, Air Supply or whoever was popular during that time, music like this was completely radical.

Schade, dass ausgerechnet Cash Smash nicht mehr dabei ist. Der war ein echter Anheizer.

The woman at 2:09 must really hate the whole thing or be really up-tight...

Most of the crowd looked fairly young so i'd guess most of them didn't even speak
english

Die Blonde wollte nicht ins Mikro singen. Besser, sie wäre nicht zum Konzert gekommen. Dann hätte ich vielleicht noch eine Karte abgreifen können. Was für eine Verschwendung.
