I'm so glad I was young when Madness were young. Best times ever
One of the greatest bands ever. Completely unique sound.
later madness are ok are a aging adult I are but the early madness had somethng else -maybe going into a digital studio in the 80s did that -many of the bands in that era has sucky melodies, sucky sound, sucky recordings ,saying yes to some recording company because this is all we got and we know we are the best -( which nobody was -they lied thier ass off and ignored the facts) -the same situation are in the gaming industry now -it allabout graphics ( sound) and not the content in which older games exel but you have to have the lates gameengine to appeal to kids
@brettnetherton398
Absolutely agree, totally unique and phenomenal songs. Every one tells a story.
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".
@TheOldBadGamer beastie boy.
The soundtrack of my youth, brings a warmth to my heart to see the banter and the friendship. Wicked musicians and showman!
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
Of all the music/bands that i have loved ,madness and their music ,style and humour hold the largest spot in my heart
YES!
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
Everybody loves Madness. Even here in Southern California they were huge. Great memories from my school days. Still love 'em.
In Dortmund too
Whats the name of the song playing throughout please?
No Doubt used to cover Madness songs.
jmr5707 dude,,, they are going to be IN VEGAS MEMORIAL DAY 2020 !!!! I suggest you go ! I was able to see them in England last December at the house of fun weekender ! EPIC !
I live in Southern California and my dad talks about how he grew up listening to Madness too! Just visiting their music because I'm quite curious about the Ska genre and I see why he liked it so much!
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.
Feck me Mario,them differences from our generations will be always put to one side through bands like Madness cos music is Universal regardless of conficts or certain football legends RIP Maradona.Greetings from the UK.
No differences friend.
We are ALL brothers and sisters. I visited Buenos Aires in 2018 and it was a wonderful experience. Fine wine and delicious steaks, and very friendly locals!
🇦🇷 🇬🇧
Nice message Mario.
Even Politicians can't take away the good times and memories of our youth.
Hope you are well.
@@johnjohnnyjohnson9987 Spoken like a poet JJ J and still living my youth from that iconic era and following the same music fella.
@@davidlester7066 Thanks David.
It was a wonderful time for music.
Madness, The Specials, The Clash and the The Jam just four prime examples. TBH the list is endless.
I always looked forward to trips to the record shop.
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.
This made me chuckle mate. To Pay is To Fail :)
Thank you Madness for all the music and joy you have given to millions over the years and still making fantastic music today
Well if this is Madness then I know I'm filled with gladness!
@Compliment Thief Its all eggs, bacon, beans and a friiiiiiied slice.
What a great video. These lads obviously never forgot their working class roots.
Working class? lol
@@oldskoolfool141 ye what....? Suggs' had a club-singer mother and a deadbeat, addicted and absentee dad, worked as a butcher's apprentice and a painter/decorator before Madness.
I bet you think you're working class cos you vote red and read the guardian.....
They weren't all working class especially Woody.
Is there another British band as beloved by EVERYONE up and down the country as Madness? I don't think so.
Legends.
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.
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.
raksh9: I was actually AT that BBC recording of the Young Ones episode. The band didn't play live, but several of them sat amongst us in the small studio audience.
@@Nickmariners That's so cool! Can you tell more of the story? How did you get into the studio audience? What was the shooting day like, were there a lot of takes? Did you see several scenes being shot?
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 🇮🇪
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 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
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 UA-cam nights which should be on prescription to combat the blues.
Some great history here Madness is my childhood in the early 80's
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.
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.
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.
Still enjoy watching anything to do with Madness. The first band I ever dug.
For the lads, they’re just reminiscing about the good old times. Swapping stories and remembering how they became Madness.
"Never sell icecreams going that speed"
Not same place, not same time. But that's clear friendship right there
Old Eric Morcombe joke.
@@davidchurchchurchy3674 ...and I still use that gag when I’m out with my mates and e everyone joins in , great to see other 60+ lads still using it too
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.
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'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
Awwwwwww ... These guys have given so much joy over the years
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 !
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.
I keep watching this and want to to go back to those days(TARDIS ??) any body else feel the same ..keep safe .
Yes!!!!! 🤘🤘
Me 3 lol
First saw Madness in Philadelphia in August of 1983 opening for the Police at RFK Stadium - future American home for Live Aid. Brilliant legends!
It was JFK in Philly ....I was there TOO ! Wasn't it Joan Jet and REM and someone else Also opening ? MADNESS played Philly ALOT ....Saw them a bunch ! Saw them at some club... Suggie jumped down and was skankin with all us guys that were dancing .
Oh yes. It was JFK Stadium. RFK was the DC stadium. My mistake. I am pretty sure it was Madness, Joan, and the Police. I was lucky to go to the Shea Stadium show as well. That one was REM, Joan, and the Police.
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.
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.
❤️❤️
Madness can always make you smile. Still have them in the car stereo, never gets boring.
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
What a band been a fan all those 40 years seen them Live many times 💙
I absolutely loved this ! …love from Dublin xxx
Great bunch of blokes! Legendary British band !
I love how proud Bedders is of One Better Day - It is a really beautiful song
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
Yup, my older bro would play madness on his new portable Hitachi tape deck, good times.
STOP TYPING THESE COMMENTS DAMN IT!
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.
Suggs has got the Micky flanagan . " Pimp walk" lovin it .
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!
Golden years for music, glad I grew up then and not ****ing now !
Same 100%
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.
Love Madness best band ever thanks for all the memories 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎👍
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.
Madness best band ever ever ever ever 😎😎😎😎😎
what a nonsense
@@Georgeth-kb6rg divine madness😊
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. 🎷
Brilliant
Un peu d'histoire d'un grand groupe dont la musique contribue depuis 1985 à mon bonheur musical. Merci beaucoup pour ce documentaire. Amitiés.
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 :)
Absolute legends.
So awesome to see you guys, this video is brilliant, I wish it was longer
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.
Brilliant lads, cheers for signing my album and fez up at Montrose,,, great to see you lads enjoying yourselfs, all the best
...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
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.
I have walked all the streets many times, Love Camden Town, Great video see you all at the roundhouse
Amazing tour wow thankyou loved you Madness in the 80 s as a teen thanks for the memories
So excited. Going to see them in December!!! Can’t wait 😊
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
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.
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 😎
love these guys since i was a kid right up to today as an aging ol skin , loved every minute
Hey madness, this is my memories as music as a child
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.
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!!! 🎷😎
the lads! the lads! thank you! I have the biggest smile.
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
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...
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
Brilliant video, Superb band.
Cool little trip down memory lane...for Madness & fans. Love it !.
Excellent love Madness
Well seeing Tommo walks away from the coppers! lol Old habits never die! ;)
First saw you guys back 1979 at Blackburn Mecca on the two tone tour🏁 thank you for 40 years of Fun.. 😎
This is absolutely wonderful!
Lovely down to earth guys.....
@Compliment Thief 😂
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...
Was at Haverstock at the same time. What house were you in? I was in Primrose
@@sourjellybaby4286 I was in Camden..... I rememeber, Joe Squires, Ray Boyle, Toby Vogel, Paul Brunning, Tom Burridge, Aaron Turner..... could probably go on and on.
One of the most enjoyable videos on UA-cam. Amazing, Thank you...
Great memories and history lesson on Madness ☺👍💙💜💛
This is really good.What a great bunch of blokes indeed
Madness did themselves and their loyal support a huge favour doing these sets :) Loved the Round House! Looking forward to the next House of Common lads :)
2:40 Thommo TO THIS DAY giving the old bill a wide berth! Didn't even stay for the selfie. Ha ha.
Madness forever !! Greetings from Rovigo (Italy)
Great band, great guys. They mention One bettter day, great tune !
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.
Brings back memories I cherish to my dying days Madness was my youth.To think I was privileged with all the gear no one could afford to buy or to wear.Even my girlfriend at the time who is now my wife said I was very lucky to follow my hero Suggs and the boys bless you all/
Awesome 👍 yous are our family, been to see madness a few times here in Belfast 🇬🇧,amazing.legends,I still collect everything madness!🕶️🎷👍
Once a rude boy, always a rude boy. Got a Specials T shirt on today aged 59. Great vid. Madness rule, Bed and Breakfast man!
