My favorite singer with one of my all-time favorite bands. Loved The Specials. Loved Amy. Now Terry and Amy can do this duet together again. RIP two of my favories. 😥
I NEVER knew they shared a stage. This video warms my heart. Amy and The Specials having fun and making people happy... So great. Rest in peace, sweer child...
No they PLAYED some of the best tunes ever, with rare exception everything they did but a couple songs were note for note recreations of Jamaican Artistes work a decade or so after the originals came out. A lot of the two tone bands did this, but the Specials were (in my opinion) the least creative. Madness, the Beat and the Selector all did a better job, and brought more of themselves into their music. If you listen to Dandy's recording of a message to you rudy, it is literally note for note replayed by the specials, slightly faster, and with inferior vocals. I found that record when I was 17, and a Prince Buster best of CD from Japan, and I never looked back at the Specials, they were a poor copy of the real thing, the minute you heard the real sh&t, you realized they were no match. I thank them for opening the way to the real thing, but aside from maybe 2 songs, they didn't add anything to the genre, aside from introducing some kids to things they hadn't heard. Really great design for their records and label though. Two Tone was brilliant.
@@gilbatzri i lived and saw the specials they came over to my roommates home often i am from san diego and i am sorry to tell you but the specials were that Special brought that sound to town i love the beat too ...that ska then mod era its all priceless
I come back to this every now and then. Love watching Amy enjoying herself, so in the moment, playing around with the vocals and improvising without trying to steal the limelight. A true legend ❤
Lovely to see a low key performance from Amy not stealing the show. What humility and she knows when she is in the presence of other icons, sad losses Amy and Brad. Of course
V Festival Hylands Park Chelmsford 2010 I think. Amy wasn't on the card that year but she came along to watch her favourite acts including the Specials who coaxed her out from the side of the stage to join them. An amazing bonus for those of us lucky enough to be there. A really great show.
Mrs H..RIP both Amy & Terry....Bless you both..I guess GOD needed you both more than the people of the earth did.. RIP to you both & Thank You both for the music ...Love ya's RIP. ❤🎶
I do play bass and I can confirm. It's not just the licks he creates, it's also how he plays them. There's a certain smoothness in his technique, even when things get fast or hard on your fingers.
Terry hall forever genius. Gave me hope & joy. Never underestimate historical significance of Terry Hall. His peace his love his lyrics music & again his genius❤
Terry Hall.....one of the most iconic lead singers this country has produced. A gifted song writer and front man for an iconic and unique group. Irreplaceable.
Well said David,I am a recovering heroin addict and too many times I've had bad looks from people who know this,I've lost many friends to drugs, and alcohol I'd be out of the drug scene up here in Scotland,one am twenty months clean and going strong,rip Amy.
Fairplay bruv! I'm 33yrs a heroin addict & fingers crossed I'm knocking it on the head this new year 2023! Im completely drained, ive had enough at last! I've wasted so many yrs to it, I never thought I'd be a 50yr old H addict! 💯
Wow never new they played together..priceless...both were too young 😭😭😭😭their music will always live on representing them. I never saw Amy live but luckily saw the specials way back at Majestic Ventura Theater 😎best show ever!!!! RIP Terry Hall 🙏 much love ❤
Haven't words, she is unique and unforgettable, is very hard to me explain my feelings, is a mixture of sadness and gratitude, thank you dear angel for brought a lot happiness to my life.
+David Bates I am one of them. she revived something people thought was not sellable: swing and standards. also remember al the youtube videos of her taking bumps onstage?
Ian Bensosn Ian ime an addict to and ime in recovery i hate DRUG DEALERS but? i used to love getting wired and doped its a PARADOX i think with all the £MONEY she made dealers sucked the life out of her and no one seemed to help her BUT like all STARS they live for ever HENDRIX MORRISON THIN LIZZY to name a few
Incredibly sad to believe that we have lost two of the most unique vocal artists the UK has ever produced and two of my personal favourite singers. Terry and Amy we miss you so much!❤
This video is fast becoming a historical account of a very special lady who had such a unique voice. What a band this would have been...... Fantastic video.
I used to watch this ages ago, at that time only Amy Winehouse had passed away. Watching again for the first time in ages, so sad now Terry Hall has also passed on. Love The Specials, so lucky to have seen them live. Rest In Peace.

RIP Terry. At 55 years, I still wear a Fred Perry Cardigan. Proper music that brought people of any colour together. No more to be said. xxx
Terry was 63 when he passed away.
@@photo04 I said that I’m 55 and still wearing a Fred Perry Cardigan. Again RIP TERRY
It's in the blood 😎
Well said my friend 👍
I'm 57 and sitting here in 10 hole cherry reds. So sad one of my teen heroes is gone. But so happy to have had him on earth at all.
RIP Terry Hall, a very special talent, now singing with the angels and Amy ❤
Back together again!

I love the Specials too, and her... Bless her.

GOD TRAVEL WITH HER TO THE LIGHT😎
Rest in Peace Terry Hall
This performance with Amy Whitehouse epitomises what The Specials were all about !
Definitely what the Specials were about but Amy Winehouse epitomised nothing but drunkenness in this clip. Such a shame.
Seems #unfair !💁
Do not underestimate the influence Terry Hall RIP and the Specials have had on Music, Society and for everyone born after 1957 - Massive loss
blue i like your comment ,,,i will alwats love Terry hes given me great joy over the decades ,, it will be a ghost town with out him x lol Jane x
True ..Massive 💃🏾💃🏾
I NEVER knew they shared a stage. This video warms my heart. Amy and The Specials having fun and making people happy... So great. Rest in peace, sweer child...
R.I.P Amy and Terry, time to make music in Heaven.
All my heroes dropping. Feeling so old tonight. Lucky to have all these recorded memories so easily to hand.
The Specials created some of the best tunes ever ... god I miss those days.
Most of them were remakes but it brought the sounds of Ska to a whole new generation.
Itslike with some of em the Specials brought those tunes back in the publics ear. Search for Andy & Joey's original !

Wow..did not know this ever happened. Terry Hall what a legend
Ghost Town is on of the greatest tracks ever. I'm in awe of anyone who can create songs like that.
My very first gig as a very young teenager, The Specials in my home town Cardiff. RIP both legends.
How much confidence does Amy have performing with these guys? So beautiful to see the generations creating perfection 🥲
I come back to this every now and then.
Love watching Amy enjoying herself, so in the moment, playing around with the vocals and improvising without trying to steal the limelight. A true legend ❤
Like #aFunFAIR 🤷
Nice to see Amy and The Specials on stage together. Shame Amy and Terry have passed. RIP both 🙏🏻
I just looked around
I won't be the only one playing the music of The Specials tonight. RIP Terry Hall
Listening tonight!!
OMG, She was so bloody Special with the Specials, favourite band favourite Singer a one off.
Love from 🇬🇧.
"I don't believe magic, the boy said. The old man smiled. You will when you see her." R.I.P 10 years ago today.
Happy i wish a 38th birthday!
Beautiful.
Can’t believe it’s been 10 years.
Lovely to see a low key performance from Amy not stealing the show. What humility and she knows when she is in the presence of other icons, sad losses Amy and Brad. Of course
Agreed. At first I thought they were crowding her. Decided it looks like a good time was had by all.
I thought the very same as I couldn’t take my eyes off Amy who could but the way she blends is 💔
@@ThePhlashy she was on great form that day, chatty and friendly. No sign of what was to come.
Ojb 1959 She was completely sober here, just a little shy
Yeah I hear ya bang on with that mate and your amd your a Harris

Here in 2019..Just to hear her voice again👍🏻..still sadly missed.
The music of Amy Winehouse and John "Brad" Bradford will always be enjoyed.
Same, god I wish I'd gone to see her live ......
So many good people gone, so sadly miss all of you xoxo
2020
2021 and for ever 🔥
Thanx Amy ♥️
I love that she's wearing a two-tone shirt.
Two tone for ever!😁
That’s so beautiful!!!i wouldn’t of ever knew.thank u xxx

My thoughts exactly!!
How nice to remember her looking healthy and to see them all rocking like that. Well done, all of you, for that moment in the sunshine. Much love x
10 years today bless.loved the girl
I'm 57 and to me the best thing England produced in my life time.

Favourite band and favourite singer too...memories of time spent in my youth watching this band in Coventry
what an incredibly mind-blowing combination of artists
Mrs H..RIP both Amy & Terry....Bless you both..I guess GOD needed you both more than the people of the earth did.. RIP to you both & Thank You both for the music ...Love ya's RIP. ❤🎶
I've loved The Specials since the 80s - I still do - and Amy Winehouse was wonderful 💖
Two years a go I was on Specials concert. Since today I know that Terry is in heaven. Message to you!
Fantastic Amy and the Specials,this is how i want to remember her, looking happy. R.I.P. Amy.
M j I
Amy, the last great one.
Me too x
Two of the best now both gone, thanks for the memories
The bass player deserves a medal
Reggae music sits a lot on the bass line and this guy does it proper
I do play bass and I can confirm. It's not just the licks he creates, it's also how he plays them. There's a certain smoothness in his technique, even when things get fast or hard on your fingers.
What a combination! The Specials and Amy Winehouse. Perfection. RIP
Natural and new !💁

This is incredible two gifted voices on one stage
I'm wondering if Amy & Terry are tearing up heaven with this epic collaboration ❤️
Sure!
They will be Deffo bro God in his 2tone suit❤
I'm so glad youtube exists, just stumbled on to this gem of time in live music, just makes me smile, thank you for the upload 👍
Same, listening to Amy and found this what a bonus 👏
If anybody deserved to be on stage with The Specials it was Amy Winehouse :)
52 people died in a fire in a concert in 1981 in Dublin the specials done a free gig the following week they played the week before in the stardust

Alice cooper
I think it should have been Brian Johnson :D
you mean ''If anybody deserved to be on stage with Amy Winehouse it were The Specials '' ??
R.I.P Terry Hall...jamming with Amy again ❤️
Imagine being there - being able to say you saw Amy and Terry on the same stage.
Wow never new they played together..priceless...both were too young 😭😭😭😭their music will always live on representing them. I never saw Amy live but luckily saw the specials way back at Majestic Ventura Theater 😎best show ever!!!! RIP Terry Hall 🙏 much love ❤
The specials were her favourite group. It was her dream to perform with them.
Bucket list, check. She has great taste. The Specials were special.
Fabulous ❤️ RIP both Amy and now Terry 😢 but will always live on your music.🎶🎼♥️
"Count yourselves lucky" - awesome performance indeed!
Two of my all time favourites,both now gone.amy had only a year left after this show
Can never forget this marvellous lady. Love you Amy always xxx
Someone mentioned earlier about how good an album with Amy and the Specials would have been and, after watching this, I agree.
There is I’m sure. Amy wine house ska ep
@@PinkSmarties72 It is a bootleg using music stolen from different TV performances. Good luck finding a copy as they change hands for over £300.
@@rearly62 really? I bought about 5 copies with different coloured vinyl when it came out, will have to investigate & dig a few of them out!!!
Hard to believe the two lead singers are now passed....R.I.P Amy Winehouse and Terry Hall , God Bless both of you for the magic you both produced , HH
Sad news , legends both of them RIP
Blasting out on my balcony , having a sing along , thanks for the music .
Haven't words, she is unique and unforgettable, is very hard to me explain my feelings, is a mixture of sadness and gratitude, thank you dear angel for brought a lot happiness to my life.

God bless you Terry. Thanks for the memories. RIP.
I love this...loved The Specials and seeing Amy in this is amazing. She looks in her element and happy. RIP!
Grew up with The Specials great times 👍
Stumbled across this and I'm so glad to say I was there aged 16
What a beautiful combo.
Sleep tight Amy and John, thank you for your music.
I love watching this. It never gets old.
Who else got goosebumps 👌🏼🙂
Epic!❤ 😭
Her improvisation during the end of You Wondering Now is a actually great.
Absolutely brilliant may Terry,John Brad Bradbury and Rico Rodriguez and Amy winehouse rest in peace 🙏🙏😞👍
What I wouldnt give to go back in time a be at the front of the crowd
You can watch forever !💁
Such a sad, preventable loss of Amy. Great moments in music preserved. Thanks for posting.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh The Specials.. it takes me back to my SKA days :) RIP Amy, what a talent!
Amy loved The Specials. When she comes onstage in her 2-tone top ......"suns out, Specials are here". I wish she was still here. ☹️♥️😊
Amy Winehouse + Specials = day complete
Had you not known about

Kids. Well done kids. You brought us such good music from your youth. We grew up with you.
This video is probably always gonna make me tear up. What a load of talent up there. Legends live on… ❤
Incredibly sad to believe that we have lost two of the most unique vocal artists the UK has ever produced and two of my personal favourite singers. Terry and Amy we miss you so much!❤
Nice to see so many young people understanding what we all knew growing up in the late seventies. We knew they were Specials
Gone Gone - but the music will live forever......
Amys beautiful powerful voice weaving through their music
Can't believe Amy has gone what a darling god bless you baby girl
This video is fast becoming a historical account of a very special lady who had such a unique voice. What a band this would have been...... Fantastic video.
To be on stage with the specials. One of the greatest bands ever. (Along with the jam the clash )shows what the industry's value of her was.
Love the jam english beat general public and ub40 theres a rat in my kitchen good stuff add amy its heaven
there are not words that can express how much I love this version of Ghosttown....
What an absolute joy 💜
Never ceases to amaze me how many people have got nothing better to do than spread hate. It's just music.
Not just music, but actual music, live! But I totally agree...........:-)
+Jake Green ?????????

I used to watch this ages ago, at that time only Amy Winehouse had passed away.
Watching again for the first time in ages, so sad now Terry Hall has also passed on. Love The Specials, so lucky to have seen them live.
Rest In Peace.
Watching this I realised I forgot how graceful Amy was.
Love Amy grew up with specials and ska uk talent that spans the generations talent is talent
She s unforgotten for me..great voice and great person!🎈🎈❤
she wont ever be :.) angels never are
Poor little girl, she died too young. she reminded me of the 60's girls. gone for ever.
Rest easy Terry, you’ll be sadly missed by millions
One of the best days of my life. My favourite all time band and a supremely talented lady.
Oh my gosh I wish id seen this when it happened. Amazing. Legends, everyone of them
Gosh, it all came so naturally to her, a true talent, both her and The Specials; legends!
Wow wonderful and magnific union of voices 👏 👏
