Brit pop/indie was the most British or dare i say English music after early 70s glam & heavy metal imo. The beatles were the original brit pop along with the Mersey sound the Who from south but as much as I love the Stones they were American sounding. Punk was taken from the new york scene and built upon. The mod sound was hard to define as it was more a euro fashion thing with mods listening to adopted bands like the who, the easybeats and American soul. The northern soul scene was the true mod crew but not as well.off as their southern counterparts. The Jam were more post punk than mod. The two tone ska scene was very Brit. The 80s were again influenced by American and Euro music until the Manchester sound. After that it's all gone back to American influences like hip hop. The British indie scene is small now only the Arctic Monkey, Moz, Kasabian and a few others are doing new music. Depeche mode still making records but most British indie is the old bands touring old stuff. The cult release albums infrequently but are really American now.
@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse Same age as me. I been a fan since 80. I'll call them whatever I want. Best fkn band still out there touring and putting out new music. Not sure about that angle your spinning. lol!!!
Didn't think Weller ever got on with Madness? I know Madness and The Specials were friendly (same music) but in the 70s/early 80s Weller was Jam and didn't think Jam rated the others. I know Style Council era was more in line with Specials and Madness but then Weller went more mod and rock and indie.
@@gunofapreacherman1340 yeah happens if you're not careful. Weller likes a tipple same with suggs but suggs looks like he works out. Flea and Anthony from the chilli peppers are around the same age as Weller and Suggs yet look a lot younger. Watch the beer and hit the gym after 50 should reduce the man boobs.😃
@@gunofapreacherman1340 I saw that he was hitting the gym a while back which made ne think he might have quit. He might of made the common mistake of taking suppliments on top of meals.
Left Madness back in 2014 to pursue a solo career then initially intended to return but then had a brain tumor. He is now well and recovering but I don't think there's any plans for him to return any time soon
This is the song that most reviews of The Jam's Setting Sons (1979) album said was the worst track on it. But The Jam started out as a soul covers band, so it was entirely appropriate. Through my headphones, this version sounds rather tired and lacking energy, but I suppose that's because most of the people playing on it are quite old, like me. It might have worked better if they'd all been playing the right bits at the right time (I'm looking at you, Mr Bedford).
Oh dear a bunch of men in their mid sixties playing a song from the mid 1960's - is this really the last days of rock'n'roll - and more importantly was it supposed to end like this?
@@CB-xr1eg of course it is - just look at the past two decades - where are all the great singers/song writers/bands which will have the longevity of Paul Weller/Madness/the Specials ?
@@revol148 There are stii bands around who play good music, you just need to look further than X factor or the top 40. Search TH-cam and you can fid many hidden gems.

Saw Madness twice and The Jam three times in the early 1980's. Perfect!
The MODFATHER with The MADFATHER. Double WOW!!! 🏁🛵😎👍
Saw all three bands in the late 70s and early 80s. Best times of my life. In my 60s nowadays and I say thank fuck for youtube!
I was there. It was a real treat to hear Paul Weller sing with Madness and Lynval Golding jam along too. It was great day made even better!
So jealous!
Ahh man this looks so cool. Wish I was there.
Too hot that f weekend...was there too!
Madness and Paul Weller together on stage awesome
Brits,you gave the world, the greatest music ever, yes, the artists are getting old, but the legacy will still live on.
Lalo Verdad thanks man where do you live ?
Brits gave the world the best music ever??? They are covering an American Motown song. Badly I might add...

Black America gave the greatest music ever.
This is American as apple pie, kid. Thank the Yanks!
Great performances by all. Let's also give some appreciation to the two backing singers as they were top quality too.
dream come true, the jam, madness and the specials playing together
The jam i wish. More like style council
+jessie .james two thirds of the Jam weren't there....
@@glennoc8585 of all weller projects style council is my favourite
It would have been 30 years ago, I'd rather watch my 72 year old Dad, he's no singer but he's a dancer.
Brilliant!😎🏁🎶
Love Madness- they have been a part of my personal soundtrack since the start.
Awesome to be growing old with this lot.
Mr Paul Weller is always incredible. Can’t wait to see him live in November.
What a fantastic festival, hopefully another 40 years of madness 😁
Absolutely awesome,long live our legend's 🛵🎷🕶️🏁🇬🇧
Just needed a member of the Clash, that would have been my 4 favourite bands together.
two legends on the same stage🔥🔥
Love this especially with Mr Weller & Mr Golding
Weller total class
How fabulous
2 80s icons love it god bless u both keep em comming
Spectacular and glorious! I keep wishing you guys would bring your celebration to the US!

dream team super group. love that they kept the song at a moderate tempo pure r&b
Noi c’eravamo !! Celebrazione dei 40 anni dei mitici Madness 👍
Proper music made by very talented Brits
I've always wondered where young ska bands would practice. Not many rehearsal studios around that can hold 20 people! 😆 this video is terrific BTW
This is my world
Amazing
Great song, wasn't expecting that one! Thanks!
Quality comes to mind 🎶🎵🎵
Two classic British institutions, weller and madness what a combination of tallent.
Lynval and suggs.. crushing on them since 1979
FANTASTIC !
Lovely
Fantastic. 👍🏻

@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse hi sorry a typo error 🙄
@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse hi again..I didn’t even realize when typing it in.. and.. completely forgot about my comment.. till it popped up now
@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse no. Wouldn’t have complained back in the day though 🤣
I love this version, even when Paul comes in too earlier after the sax solo.
U a show off
Amazing!!
Tune it up
Remember seeing style council and madness at the mountford hall during the red wedge tour .
Soulpower!💥✊💖mods,rudies,skinheads trads United. ...good cover.😇
Excellent cover by MY boys!!!

@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse First time for everything bud. 😉
Sub culture giants playing a classic!!!this has gotta be released!!
Around 2.20 when Lee makes Weller jump and then pats his stomach, absolute classic!
Love it
Love gorgeous suggs xxxx
Great 👍 post
August 13th 2022 uk 🇬🇧🏴
Don't mention "Heatwave"!!! 😉
Love gorgeous suggs❤❤
Yes! He has always been a pleasure to look at.
@@maudemathildeh335 indeed!
muito bom!
A good old fashioned super group
I saw the in 1985 in finbury park london nw 10
Please, please, please post Shop Around too!
Great !!!
Two Mr Ice Cools on lead vocals ❤
I didn't know this one. They are all there.
Wish they did this back in the back in the late 70s/mid 80s
Check out The Jam's version
Naughty boys!!!
My childhood in one video.
Only song The Jam ever covered and included on record!!
David Watts, Fever, In the Midnight Hour, Batman they covered a few in recordings.
@@goodjacobtv9467 so sad about us
@@chrisbyrne7399 Move on Up live!
@@goodjacobtv9467 good one..
Stoned out of my mind and War.
@@chrisbyrne7399 We've moved quite a long way from only Heatwave!
The Jam's version of this on Setting Sons is breakneck and savage. I suppose you can't expect Weller to do his nut like that in his sixties, though.
Dont remember this on setting songs ,great album
Tony Setting sons is the soundtrack of my youth I was born in 1964
As good as madness are paul weller must be the most influencelle musician in the last 30 years
Nice to see these lot together... Needed to speed it up! Too slow 🙂
Put it on
They can skank AND do Motown? How cool!
Gianni Boccia è commosso...
woody always makes drumming look difficult lol
🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
Eton rifles Eton rifles there's a row going on down near slough
Get out your mat and pray to the west.
I met Suggs once and he was not that big. What is going on?

bg bg what speculative crap!
@@TennisLegends-ebay how so? I always thought Weller slagged everyone off back then.
bg bg Weller and Suggs have been best mates for 40 years now
2.35..ouch weller
Kool.( Cool)
Cool with a k lol
Paul weller looks more like a former 70s rock star than a mod these days.
He has old man tits now too.
He looks better in a candy Stripe shirt. Trousers still look good on him, good to see him anyway, always inspiring.

glenny oc As far as I know, Paul quit drinking a while back? And he hits the gym too. Hannah must be feeding the mod father up.
@@gunofapreacherman1340 I saw that he was hitting the gym a while back which made ne think he might have quit. He might of made the common mistake of taking suppliments on top of meals.
Paul Weller covered Heatwave before it was written
Where's Chas smash these days
Was wondering the same thing..
Left the band many months ago . Reason unknown
Left Madness back in 2014 to pursue a solo career then initially intended to return but then had a brain tumor. He is now well and recovering but I don't think there's any plans for him to return any time soon

Pro shot is stretching it a bit
Back in the day this Mods and Skins combo wouldn't have went down to well according to our playground
Suggs is still as handsome as ever.
Agree ❤❤
Just leave me alone inwerid watching my granddaughter.
Karaoke motown
Only way to talk to u but no more no way no later in life
Suggs talks as he can’t sing always breathless
sack the sound man!
that bedders looks like some i saw on the london over ground, that girl with them was a complete dim wit
Whatever happened to proper music
The internet
ロネッツ
Should be a crime scene set up on that stage after that one.... Bow out gracefully fellas please. I
