What a fantastic voice ! She is with out doubt the queen of ska ! Just as good now as the original days of 1979 " the 2 tone era ! Great voice ! Great songs ! &10/10 in my books every time !
Absolutely fantastic Pauline, you and your band are superb, so much energy from all of you, hope I may get a chance to see you live, are you appearing down south ( UK ) anytime soon ? x
My favourite British ska band of them all - saw them in the backroom of a proper skinhead pub in north London in their first appearance ever in London - everyone was dancing!
Quality music from a quality band. Pauline has an incredible voice after all these years and still is gorgeous. There’s nothing but joy behind those eyes and that smile. Special shout out to Arthur Hendrickson as co-lead vocals. 😍👉🏼🤎
Saw them play in 2014 here in Christchurch, Aotearoa/NZ and it was a joyfest. Got talking to Pauline for a few minutes. She is everything as lovely as she appears. Gracious, friendly, happy to chat and just puts out so much great energy. Not that I want to take anything away from Gaps and others and especially not Neol Davies but Pauline Black's voice is the thing that makes The Selecter immediately recognisable. She's a tiny dynamo of a woman.
@@bobly If only Ranking Roger was alive to bring back 'The Beat'. Oh wait, forgot about Dave Wakeling. Saw both versions of the band play over the years, and both were polished, energetic, fun and absolutely tight as a nut. For some reason though, Roger's version edges Dave's out. That being said, together they were fantastic and now they can never resolve their differences for a reunion gig showing what two tone is all about.
Love it so much 😎❤ all the way. Pauline has so much energie and soul, a lovely and cool woman. Keep the Music, the Ska and the Love alive. Dance on and on and Peace ✌ Greetings From Moe from Kiel City. 🎶🎼🏁
Guitar guy's doing a great job here, Respect. I think it could've been me up there instead, though lol...🤔😄 cos, around six years ago I got a call from Aitch asking if I'd play guitar. I was already playing guitars for a band Black Canvas (Soul/ Dub Dance hall) so i guess someone from that circle of musicians kindly suggested me...🤷🏻♂️ but it was gonna clash with a date BC already had booked.And I seriously was looking forward to hittin my local town with this Reggae/Rock/Soul thing I was involved in. I (reluctantly) declined, but that looks a scream up there, with those guy's...! Seriously the guitarist who's playing here, is doing the business. He's perfect really. Seems to put the right energy into it, looks the part too,, and has a cooler guitar than me... the guy's cooler than me full stop 😅 so they are lucky to have him however, (and there is a 'however'😬😛 ) I think I just have the edge on his playing...(I'm a guitarist, of course I'm gonna say that🤣) don't get me wrong though, I like this guy, and I like his playing, and if it'd been me, it wouldn't have been the same. He fits. Obviously the bass player's makin it happen, too... and that's what matters. My playing might have been slightly more 'there' but would it have been the right kinda 'there'...hmm that's the question ain't it...🤔 And (I probably don't hear you ask lol) was the loyalty which I pledged to my other band, 'honoured'..? well...basically... was it fuck 🤣🤣 The whole band stood me up.... and I jammed/improvised the 45m slot on guitar myself... with the drummer from another band I was playing (bass) with, who were there waiting to play later, on the same bill (Stroud Fringe) Can you believe that tho..? No, neither could I....😳😂 anyway, the performance later with the other band (Dustmites) was fantastic. Probably one of our best shows (Originals/covers 'Doors', Alman Bros, The Who etc) which kinda made up for it. There was a reason why I got a call, I'm very good. (bass/guitar) but this guy's great. I love his guitar too, whatever it is 😎❤
Brilliant Ska Band! Have not lost one step! Still as intense as ever! Unreal! That’s how you do it! And Too Much Pressure could be the Anthem for 2020!
They were fantastic in Glasgow on the Friday night with the Beat, both on terrific form, what a night 😃 Love Pauline n have been a fan since the original days.
Given the overuse of auto tune these days, I doubt many at the top of the current charts could pull this off. This standard of live performance is becoming rarer and rarer
How the ffff can people listen to this and SIT there not moving a muscle?? On My Radio and Too Much Pressure would raise the dead and get em skanking. And, damn, doesn't Pauline still look so fine? Plus her voice still has that gorgeous, sexy huskiness. Incredible.
Proper music, none of this manufactured mainstream shite, if you can't move to this there's something wrong with you, Simon Cowell take note, this is free from little mix shite, x factor bollocks, love two tone music.
saw them on a double bill with the Beat at the Old Granada Studios Manchester 2016. Well you know, what was actually left of the bands, The Beat was just Ranking Rodger really and as said previously, can it really be The Selector without Noel on his 12 string?
Such better video work compared to their 1980s videos. Back then the cameramen figured if the performers were jumping then they should also. Nope. Impressed how well her voice has held up! I notice her accent has changed to mid Atlantic.

Pauline Black you helped change the country for the better much love
i was mad for the selecter when i was 13 still great now at 53

MIXING THE PROCLAIMERS' (i WANNA BE) AND QUEEN'S UNDER PRESSURE WAS QUITE NEAT :)
also a 1st generation ska classic with Pressure Drop by Toots and the Maytals
Absolutely classsss
I love ska!
We love you Pauline Black ❤
R.I.P GAPS. You live on in the timeless top-notch music you helped create. Thank You X
Too Much Pressure, Wicked Song.
Brilliant ... specially TOO MUCH PRESSURE .. superb
Absolutely fantastic Pauline, you and your band are superb, so much energy from all of you, hope I may get a chance to see you live, are you appearing down south ( UK ) anytime soon ? x
Stay Rude Stay Rebel Stay Rebel Stay SHARP ✊🏻✊🏿
RIP Arthur Hendrickson.
Brill , cheers shane uk 🇬🇧

pîrț! Aiureală!
Génial !
Birmingham days 1979/1980 🇬🇧👍❤️
Rip Gap's
badasss more speed
And that's how you do it.
No Noel not the selector in my book
Better than 99.99% of the crap music out there today.
Cannot fucking be happy about how great a song is without being an old fart?
@@stimouthyouks1086 i got ya.. but he is kinda 99% right 😂😂😂
You said it. Dang. I must be old. "Those dang kids and their horrible music! Get off my lawn!"
@@vernonzehr I got the same vibe lol, this is good music, how it immediately means shitting on other genres isn't something I'll understand.

Pauline Black really is the Queen of Ska music 💖💖
Shes a beauty this lady x

Yeaaah ❤Pauline My Favoirite Ska Woman ..Greetings from Upper Silesia South West Poland Autonomic old school area
With a surname like that, she could get arrested. Well at least where I live. What's wrong with being born black, surname-wise?
That guitar has got more pickups than an american hillybilly.
Anyone watching during quarentine at 2 in the morning??😂
*5 in the morning
@@Nick-us6se nice
Now me in Brazil!
Depressing how it's still quarantine and this is 3 in the morning
R.I.P Gaps!...Generation X Salutes you!🫡
No Gaps...No Selecter. I am gutted.

- Take a bow Pauline what a lady - Grace and style!
She is simply amazing!
Brilliant Ska Band! Have not lost one step! Still as intense as ever! Unreal! That’s how you do it!
And Too Much Pressure could be the Anthem for 2020!
Or 2022/2023…
Lol 2:43 love the old school loyalty but dam these guys deserve a younger crowd as well.... goddamm millennials spread the word
Le top! Cest vraiment le top😍!
2Tone legend
Guitars sound amazing!
They were fantastic in Glasgow on the Friday night with the Beat, both on terrific form, what a night 😃 Love Pauline n have been a fan since the original days.
Me too....next stop, QMU in Sept!
Saw them in Serbia, Novi sad, Exit festival, some weeks ago
Sooo goooood
Pauline Black such an attractive woman and a beautiful person as well.

I saw these guys live here in Australia I swear mate the whole room was dancing.
@@TheCory42 Excellent! Wish I'd been there.
@@stephenspark776 I only tagged along with a mate. I honestly never saw anything like it. Was a very memorable night.
Selecter are the best band in the world !
WTF 11 years older then me ! She looks like a 40'er !
Gosh Pauline just gets better with age. Love this!
She and Gaps were F-A--N-T-A-S-T-I-C at Hampton Court last night with the Jools Holland Orchestra. Unforgettable.
She's aged like a very fine wine 😘
I love listening to this brilliant group they are still as good as when they first started, 🤩😊😎🤗

R.I.P. GAPS Hendrickson. இڿڰۣ-ڰۣ-
I'm young again .........
Pauline Black is a Godess!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR OBE!!!
Mannequins in the audience would have shown greater emotion than those actually in the crowd.
Hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahaaha, I think something like this watching
Making these sound more wired than the studio cuts took some doing. RIP GAPS.
Proper music, none of this manufactured mainstream shite, if you can't move to this there's something wrong with you, Simon Cowell take note, this is free from little mix shite, x factor bollocks, love two tone music.
Anyone know which guitar model that is? Thanks.
next sunday in Guadalajara, México!
Dynamite.
Brilliant, gotta try and see them in Leeds in May.
The genuine article! Respect!
Tremendous.
Damn that beat
Amazing.
Pauline is still fantastic
Enorme 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😭 Too much pressure
saw them on a double bill with the Beat at the Old Granada Studios Manchester 2016. Well you know, what was actually left of the bands, The Beat was just Ranking Rodger really and as said previously, can it really be The Selector without Noel on his 12 string?
Rest in peace gaps
