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 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 ❤
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
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. ❤🎶
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
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.
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.
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❤
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 ❤
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!❤
'Ghost Town' was one of the best songs I'd ever heard back then and it still is now. So eerie and absolutely spot on regarding the subject matter. Well done Mr Dammers.
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.
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.
Very beautiful live performance! Before The Specials, "You're wondering now" was sung by Andy and Joey, and the very original goes back to The Skatalites
Terry im wondering now what to do now you have passed xx RIP XX i would like to thank you for the fantastic,,, music you and your band have given us over the many decades xx I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND ADORE YOU jANE X❤🧡💛💙🤎🖤❤🧡💛💚💜🖤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

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.

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!
@@AlbertoGonzalez-eu7dc two greats together ❤️
Also drummer John ‘Brad’ Bradley.
Terry lighting up the sky with Amy and David Crosby... so many gone...
I just looked around
My very first gig as a very young teenager, The Specials in my home town Cardiff. RIP both legends.
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 ❤
In black n white Two Tone dress ❤️❤️
She loved The specials, she was in her element , bless her .
Fgfggh
I love the Specials too, and her... Bless her.

All my heroes dropping. Feeling so old tonight. Lucky to have all these recorded memories so easily to hand.
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.
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.
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 💃🏾💃🏾
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 !

Love from 🇬🇧.
Ghost Town is on of the greatest tracks ever. I'm in awe of anyone who can create songs like that.
Favourite band and favourite singer too...memories of time spent in my youth watching this band in Coventry
How much confidence does Amy have performing with these guys? So beautiful to see the generations creating perfection 🥲

It's Hard to believe Terry and Amy are no longer with us - That hits hard - We are blessed to have the wonderful music and great memories.
What a combination! The Specials and Amy Winehouse. Perfection. RIP
God bless you Terry. Thanks for the memories. RIP.
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

R.I.P Terry Hall...jamming with Amy again ❤️
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 👏
Grew up with The Specials great times 👍
Can never forget this marvellous lady. Love you Amy always xxx
what an incredibly mind-blowing combination of artists
"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.
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
I've loved The Specials since the 80s - I still do - and Amy Winehouse was wonderful 💖
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
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
@@leeheaps2458
You are most welcome !
XOXOX
My thoughts exactly!!
What a beautiful combo.
Sleep tight Amy and John, thank you for your music.
Two of my all time favourites,both now gone.amy had only a year left after this show
This is incredible two gifted voices on one stage
Two years a go I was on Specials concert. Since today I know that Terry is in heaven. Message to you!
Sad news , legends both of them RIP
Blasting out on my balcony , having a sing along , thanks for the music .

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
2tonefootage charoo
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 '' ??
Such a sad, preventable loss of Amy. Great moments in music preserved. Thanks for posting.
Amys beautiful powerful voice weaving through their music
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.
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❤
Agree. Two of music's greatest. RIP Amy & Terry.
Listening to this song in Jan at nearly 10pm at night, somehow it makes me feel some sun on my skin.
I love this...loved The Specials and seeing Amy in this is amazing. She looks in her element and happy. RIP!
Beautiful duet Terry and Amy. To much talent, to much love!!
Absolutely brilliant may Terry,John Brad Bradbury and Rico Rodriguez and Amy winehouse rest in peace 🙏🙏😞👍
LOVE The Specials. Loved Amy. r.i.p terry hall🥺🥺🥺
Ahhh The Specials.. it takes me back to my SKA days :) RIP Amy, what a talent!
Gone Gone - but the music will live forever......
"Count yourselves lucky" - awesome performance indeed!
Great sounds. 2009 doesn't seem so long ago, and both were in fine form. RIP Amy & Terry

'Ghost Town' was one of the best songs I'd ever heard back then and it still is now.
So eerie and absolutely spot on regarding the subject matter. Well done Mr Dammers.
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 ?????????
real music
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.
Amazing how they are different and match perfectly. One of the best UA-cam Video! Thanks for the upload...Love eternally.
Damn she nailed this, what a voice. RIP Amy & Terry 🕊
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.

Love you Amy , what a talented vocalist she was !!
This video is probably always gonna make me tear up. What a load of talent up there. Legends live on… ❤
RIP Terry Hall, um talento muito especial, agora cantando com os anjos e Amy
Such a wonderful talent. The best singer in my memory. It is such a shame that she destroyed herself and that no one helped her.
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.
