Remember watching this on tele big specials fan only 11 years old So a rare thing in them days as not much tv coverage Cant believe still watching it nearly 45 years later
Im watching this from my Colchester home. I was a bit young for Punk (I was 11 in 77) so Two-Tone was the first youth cult I was able to get into. Mum wouldnt entertain the idea of me going to this gig, and I didnt have an NUS card, so wouldnt have got in anyway. This is one of the greatest live shows Ive ever seen. The energy, the anger, the joy, the musicianship the stage presence. Everything about this is absolutely brilliant. It doesnt age, it doesnt lose any of its urgency, its absoilutely timeless brilliance. I'll still be listening to this in30 years time, and it will still sound as fresh and sharp as it did over 40 years ago.
Watched this on TV as a fledging 17 year old Chelmsford mod. I really wanted to go to this gig in Colchester as it was only 20 miles away but as my scooter was not legal on the road it meant going on the train but I had run into trouble at a previous gig in Witham and had to hide on the floor of the train as skins hunted for me !so I was too scared to go to this one 😢
If you notice Brad drops his drum stick from his left hand on the intro of Do the dog...but he just keeps it going and pulls another one out just before the drum roll brings Terry Hall in...RIP Brad...7 years ago today 🏁🙏🏼

watching them perform It Doesnt Make It Alright, an early Anit- racist hit, and then going into Concrete Jungle above the Essex Anthem, I so wish I'd been there.
Fabulous best of times for music
Original humble and timeless classic songs I still love them.
I'm 57 year old Mum
Love Terry Hall RIP 😢

Rock Goes to College featured a variety of bands and some great live performances. This one stands out.
We had to make do with TOTP
So sad 😔 RIP Terry Hall..Bless.
You don't see gigs like that anymore. Incredible stuff.
You should get out more. It still kicks off at gigs in small pub bars. even for a old timer like me
@@skawashers I know it does, but it's not quite the same as a Specials gig like that one.

God bless you Jerry Dammers for making this all happen.
Here I am again. Watching this great show.
I was there, with my NUS card, on my own, as none of my mates wanted to go. More fool them.

At their very best!
Absolutely fantastic.
Wow el show completo!!! Excelente imagen y sonido. Para siempre Terry Hall y The Specials 🎉
36:34 to see Terry Hall throw a tambourine at a bouncer
I bloody love that he did that, bouncer had a boy by the neck it was shocking, love that they had all on stage moonstomping! X❤
Every Roddy byers song makes the room gyrate!!
RIP Terry Hall 😢
