I am now 78 Suggs, tried to see you once in Reading, but my daughter was in wheelchair so, no good. My Son, who is no longer with us, got me into Madness, the Who and all the rest and I loved it. Still do. You should do more TV we ALL want to see you no matter what it is you do. Thanks for all you do, great entertainer.
Good idea for quarantine live . They all make classical album with old songs. It s common now. That was a perfect live for the moment. Or may be new compositions with orchestra ...
I listened to this music all my life. I remember listening to this music from outside my brothers bedroom....until he sadly passed away of a brain tumour when I was 16 a few years later. We had a 10 year age gap....but this music reminds me so much of him. Great concert; keep up the great work.....best thing to come out of this covid situation. Love this group.
Sorry to hear that Greg He had some taste in music All the Lad’s are Timeless and for Men in their mid-sixty’s they sure still have it, saw them last weekend in Dublin F**k Me ! is all I can say Take care Greg Jack Vaughan Tipperary Ireland
I wouldn't want a whole album with string arrangements. I find a full band much more interesting and danceable! Although, I'm dancing already to Nightboat to Cairo.
I’m 56 and have all the old singles and albums of Madness. My favourite group in the whole world, so much a part of my London days. Oh I love Madness😊🌸
I am 52 now: I think I have been listening to Madness (and later going to their concerts) since I was 13, or maybe 12. This performance almost gives me goosebumps. Grandi Madness! Un saluto dall'italia.
I met Suggs n Chas during the 81 Nutty Boys Your. They were in Preston on fishergate in a shop called Whitfield's ... They were buying top hats and waistcoats for the it must be love video 🎩🎩 we were just kids and they were fantastic with us ❤️
I'm a 60-year-old American from Boston who discovered Madness in 1980. They were almost completely unknown here, but they and the Jam brought me to England to see council houses, Primrose Hill, tube stations, baggy trousers, and other purely British references. I've been a fan ever since. For some reason, they speak to me. Their music is timeless. By the way, this is fantastic!
Timestamps in case you (like me) want to show a specific song to someone! Night boat to Cairo 00:00 MK II 04:22 My Girl 06:55 Theatre of the Absurd 10:05 Life on Mars 13:55 The Sun and The Rain 18:37 All The Presidents Men 22:35 Rise and Fall 24:09 Our House 28:35 It Must Be Love 32:19
Never tire of Madness. Grown up with them, now growing old with them. Music shows all emotions and Madness have captured them all over 6 decades!! Eh!???? Where did that go?
I knew that "Our House" existed basically my entire life. I'm 32, and in 2010 I found "The Liberty of Norton Folgate" when I began going through my divorce. I heard "Forever Young" and it was amazing to say the least. So I went back through their catalog and discovered so much amazing music. From "My Girl", "Love Struck", "NW5" and way too many to list off. I was massively bummed when Punk Rock Bowling was cancelled. My plan was to fly from Michigan to Nevada just to see Madness (and Strike Anywhere was a brilliant bonus for sure). Thank you guys so much for all of the music, and all of the things that you unknowingly got me through. Madness for life! 🤘🏻Can we have another Dangermen Session?
Great taste. NW5 and Forever Young are two of the most under rated songs of our time. Victoria Gardens as well. I was going to Vegas as well, and had tickets for the NYC show. Hoping to get them up here in Toronto if we have concerts again. Madness is pure greatness.
Absolutely, complete and utter brilliance. The string quartet arrangements were spot on and augmented the tunes beautifully. Night Boat worked, sounding like eastern European folk tune, and Rise and Fall stood out as the hidden gem it's always been. A full gig with this set up would be a must see. Though it'd be nice to have the full compliment of nutty boys playing. Forever young, forever class!!
you should check out from their Kenwood House gig from their 40th anniversary celebrations last year! Madness played with a full orchestra band it was a blinder - plenty of videos on youtube!
Oh my gosh - this is absolutely marvellous!!! If there is a band on this planet who is perfectly suitable for a crossover between pop and classical music then it's MADNESS! Please do much more of that magnificent stuff! And please, pleaaaase publish a 7inch of this overwhelming "My girl" version! Or a little EP with My girl, It must be love, The sun and the rain and Rise and fall. That would be a dream! Stunning, absolutely stunning!!! #ItMustBeStringLove
I'm 30, and have grown up listening to madness.. my mum always played these legends on the daily, religiously.. my sister and I were always jumping around the house to baggy trousers 😂 now my 5 year old son loves them too! Dances to them 😁 Going through the generations. Suggs, you're absolutely amazing. Thank you for years of great memories relived. Your charismatic attitude, talent and energetic nature is that to be remembered forever. Also great job to Mike and quartet too!.. 👏🏻
Thank you Suggs, Mike, and The London String Group! And special thanks for bringing some underrated Madness classics like "The Sun and the Rain", "MK II", "Rise and Fall" and others. Greetings from Russia!
Wow, perfect. My 4yr old was loving it, dancing to night boat and then he had such a joyous reaction to Our House (his favourite song ever) it was a sight to behold. Thank you so much for bringing some Madness to our house in deepest, darkest north Norfolk.
Love this guys! Thank you. Our heroes since the late 70's, still doing it with style. Phats and Small received two Capital Radio awards (Best Single, Best Act) when Madness picked up the Lifetime Achievement in Brighton 1999 .... I was too nervous to chat with the guys, one of those missed moments. After watching this we went through the old videos on your channel ...... timeless classics that still look, feel and work 40 years on. Genius. We salute you guys!
Thank you! Just found it this morning and played while cooking an Anniversary breakfast. She is not very familiar with Madness but she loved it as much as I did. Perfect peaceful play before another day of peaceful protest in Chicago! Much love from the states!
My first ever album was Absolutely - bought when I was 7 around 1981/82- I still have it upstairs - my mum wouldn’t let me get a Suggs haircut 😂 God bless Madness !!
Just got out of bed, and had breakfast, at our house on this grey day, must keep moving, my girl - well - you know, told me to shut up. What an embarrassment! Still that's the sun and the rain, init? Hope for one better day, in the city... cheers, and loads a love rudi......on the wings of one of them...down under, in New Zealand xxx
I love myself a string quartet. Transforms a pop hit into something sublime. Also one of my very favourite things about 'It Must Be Love' is that Labi Siffre endorsed the cover from the very start, appearing in the video no less.
I love this oriental, seemingly never ending Madness tune. As a youngster when I still went to school I could listen to it in an infinite loop virtually for hours, and it even triggers me today whenever I hear it occasionally. It's so catchy. I know that _Night Boat to Cairo_ was released on their first album _One Step Beyond_ but their 2nd _Absolutely_ hit me and converted me into an avid Madness follower.
Ah what a joy, Durban South Africa has just become a happier place for watching the Covid madness antidote! Madness one of the soundtracks of my life :-D
The best English band by a country mile, they had it all, humour, seriousness and those melodies were killers all the way.. 17 top 10 singles. 2 no. 1 albums and one no. 1 single. Most bands would kill just to have one song as good as any of their singles as Madness simply had a knack of coming up with hit after hit after hit. They were so funny and are still as amusing today unlike most of the miserable bands around who take themselves to seriously. And they all became accomplished musicians. What a sound they had a magical sound and they still are relative today.
If I had tried to judge whether Madness songs could be arranged for string quartet, I wouldve probably thought the idea was ridiculous. And I would've been wrong. Bravo, people!
Gorgeous, it’s got a lovely Gypsy vibe to it. Thanks Suggs, Mike and strings. I still remember hearing One Step Beyond for the first time in ‘79. We kept flipping that record till it was just about worn through. Onya lads!
Thank you so much for this incredible concert. I was feeling a bit low and this really inspired me and got me back to feeling very happy and optimistic
Bureau of arts and culture : Madness , so spot-on as usual mates, so pleased with this performance that I literally sent this link to UK publishers upon unveiling a new play for Ray Winstone. It's my salute for a unified Europe as well as world... Suggs and Madness also written some great new literature with these new songs .. . - J. A. T R I L I E G I
Awesome, the string players and arrangement are wonderful. Great songs translate into any style and these guys have BOTH ...much love ❤️ STAY SAFE ❤️ x
Perfect. Here I am in Alicante, gutted the Murcia gig is cancelled. So this will be a great substitute. Thanks guys. Looking forward to seeing you tonight😎😎🎶🎤
Thank you kindly for the wonderful performance. I have my two and four-year-old daughters hooked on Madness. I cannot begin to tell you how many times, I've been asked to play the video for "Our House."
Top stuff as usual Chaps, back in 1981 i was 10 an the band were filming a vid at highbury feilds and my younger sister sat on suggs lap..... Happy days
Oh, boys. This is beautiful. There are many ills in the world right now, but this was good for the ones that ailed me. Thanks so much Suggs, Monsieur Barso and the London String Group - “A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies”.
From their start on, Madness captured my heart/felt their brilliancies, love for the music, the members of this great band have, as well as their lyrics...knew Madness would last for decades, taking very seriously by so many, worldwide!
We had tickets to the Hammerstein Ballroom show in New York. We'd made a big effort this year now that our kids are old enough to stay out late with us to bucket-list a bunch of shows to take them to and yours was one of them. We plan to attend next year, all things considered, and hopefully the kids will still be willing to be seen in public with their parents ;-) but at least i can attest they love your music and they did get very excited when we told them about going to your show (4 tix were a Christmas gift) so we can at least be proud of our own parenting. Anyway, you were the furthest I've ever traveled to see a live show (2001? Birmingham--and saw the west end musical that trip also) from New York and we are die-hard longtime fans. I just love that you did this and shared it. Can't wait til next May.
I am now 78 Suggs, tried to see you once in Reading, but my daughter was in wheelchair so, no good. My Son, who is no longer with us, got me into Madness, the Who and all the rest and I loved it. Still do. You should do more TV we ALL want to see you no matter what it is you do. Thanks for all you do, great entertainer.

❤❤❤
Madness should release an album of their songs as a classical music album, that would be nice. Thanks Suggs and Mike.
Yes, pleeeease!
Good idea for quarantine live . They all make classical album with old songs. It s common now. That was a perfect live for the moment.
Or may be new compositions with orchestra ...
Fab 💡 idea
Madness At The Proms for 2021 !!!
And we want to see Madness on MTV unplugged!
I listened to this music all my life. I remember listening to this music from outside my brothers bedroom....until he sadly passed away of a brain tumour when I was 16 a few years later.

Take care Greg

you are still amazing . My name is molly i am 9 me and my dad love madness i know all the words to baggy trousers.
That's what Dads are for!
These string arrangements of Madness hits are excellent. Let's hope for an album :)
Does 2016 count
I wouldn't want a whole album with string arrangements. I find a full band much more interesting and danceable! Although, I'm dancing already to Nightboat to Cairo.
@@nedim_guitar I can't dance to save my life, so a string-arrangement album would suit me fine :)

Same here dude especially the early 80's and other ska music
@@albertozaliani2174 Grandissimo! Io purtroppo non abitavo ancora a Milano.
I bought my first MADNESS album in Trieste, it was sold out in Yugoslavia
I met Suggs n Chas during the 81 Nutty Boys Your. They were in Preston on fishergate in a shop called Whitfield's ... They were buying top hats and waistcoats for the it must be love video 🎩🎩 we were just kids and they were fantastic with us ❤️
Suggs singing Life on Mars...... Heaven....
@Jason Allen Agree so much...it was emo and has warmth.
Didn't get it at first but the lyrics nailed it

Our House, that was where we quarantined.. It's Madness!
You know what the first sign of madness is?
... Suggs walking down your front path.
Which they played atop of Buckingham Palace in the middle of the street....
An instant smile on my face -- like seeing an old friend again and remembering all the good times.
Couldn’t watch live as I don’t have a TV licence,
So enjoying it now. Thanks people.
I can't believe I've been a fan of Madness for 40 years now...it must be love!

You cant beat a little Madness in these Mad times.....always makes you feel good and want to dance..spot on boys
Hats of to all, Suggs and Barso that was brilliant and how good are that string quartet 👍😎🏴
When he plays Tchaikovsky I think I prefer his version than the classical one.
That would be Fezes and bowler hats!

Thanks Suggs & Mike and the string quartet. I enjoyed the show. Rise & Fall got me thinking of where I grew up such Happy Times.. Stay safe everyone
Can we all agree "theatre of the absurd" sounds excellent I hope to hear that alot more

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release this as a album
Suggs and co. - you have given me faith that there's still good in the world. Thank you! 💛💛💛
Brave move covering 'Life On Mars'! I'd love to have heard Suggs sing it an octave higher.

Encore!.. Transported back to better times!.. Thank you!!!...
That's one of the best things I've seen during this awful time. Fabulous stuff - thank you Suggs, Mike and the London String Quartet. Wonderful!
What more to remind us of better times than some Madness.... and some Bowie for good measure! Thanks Suggs and Mike and the great string quartet!
Suggs singing Life on mars.. Double WOW !!!
So glad this popped up. One step beyond......thanks for caring and sharing!
Greetings from Italy. Nice memories. 18 Years, saw at school to listen to maddness with a guitar in hand, a piano and an improvised drum.

Rise and fall seems very fitting today. To my mind.
Been a huge Nutty Boys fan for forty-plus years. Flawless ! You would swear you can hear Lee's saxophone in Night boat to Cairo!
That broke me apart and lifted me up. May the gods bless you all.
Well that's just so understatedly bloody fantastic!
Thanks for everything, fan since 86! Take care everyone and regards from France!
The only band that can sound the epitome of a city were they evolved London, Madness it yours
Tengo 60 años y nunca dejo de cantar sus temas!!!! Ojalá vinieran a Buenos Aires!!! Acá los admiran mucho .
Loving Rise and Fall.
Thanks guys! Hey Suggs, you gott own the Bowie song. You do it so fecking wonderfully. Thanks again 😎
thank you MADNESS for such a lovely slice of sunshine and happiness in this otherwise crazy dark world!!! xoxo
Outlandish, Unexpected, Brilliant - typical MADNESS! Thank you
I loved the sax solo that the violin team did on it must be love, blinding thanks Suggs and Mr B
That was excellent - cheers Suggs & Mike - & the quartet - very good......
Wonderful job all, "Life On Mars" put a lump in my throat and you saved my fave for last, sending love from the states....
Just brilliant! Thank you for the performance and the wonderful arrangement of the strings - great energy from them!
Amazing and graceful. Thankyou so much. God bless us all.Peace out 🙏

Still got it, thanks to all involved that made this
Daft as a brush and every bit as enjoyable as they were the first time around (& yes i am that old!) :)
