I've had the pleasure of seeing these fine gentlemen three times in concert. Had tickets to see them a fourth time in 2020 but the pandemic ruined that plan. Absolutely love these guys. Madness fan for life!
Love Madness, and loving the older stuff. Such a shame that Chas wasn't part of these celebrations, especially during the last HOF Weekender where they played a good mixture of old stuff that is rarely heard. Hope he comes back in time for the next album.
Churrr.. been a fan since 1980 but never seen them live. Madness were a formative band for me and Woody inspired me to take up the drums. I eventually fronted my own bands and our originals all had a ska influence to them. Please come to New Zealand.
I've seen them in NL, BE, and soon in 2022 DE !!!!!!! The band of my youth is great on stage and I can only recommend it anyone wishing to enjoy a nice evening of good vibes
I watched a previous video regarding madness, they mentioned the floors moving above them, but ive seen them at 2 festivals and 2 arenas, the floor has always bounced, great fun bud scary in a concrete arena.
8 times (relatively few) times seen them live, travelled the length of britain 3 times ;) Best gig had to be the round house and all the old back album, brilliant. I wont ever forget that night listening to the stuff they rarely play live :) A lot of the less known tracks are their best. Close second was House of Common. Never made the HOF gigs. Just had a rather large M tatt done (late life crisis!). Best band to grace the planet running close with Blondie!
"Hey You!!..Don't watch that!..watch this!".."The Nuttyest sound around!".. "DIS IZ MADNESS!" (/-\).."Bless Yer Lads..much love n forever respect Ska Fiendz!..love from Aussie,Brisbane.Come back soon boys!"
@@sanatkumarasharma3627 no probs.. around that time November 2019 he did X Factor and sang a few madness songs on there so clearly they invited him to the electric ballroom gig
@@virgilrytaar9083 He appears in the band’s 2021 docuseries, Before We Was We. However, I do believe there was a falling out and he wanted to do some solo work so left the band in 2014, with a view to re-join at a later date, but due to his health, he has never returned. He also appears in Lee Thompson’s 2018 film, One Man’s Madness

I grow up in Hampstead and went to Haverstock and was expelled in 1969 , Haverstock introduced me to the Hypocrisy of socialism, half the school rough working class kids the other half the children of Hampstead’s champagne socialist who were slumming it to distort the exam results and improve the profile of the school; the Miliband brother being the most high profile students, the Conservatives called Haverstock Labours Eton
sorry, I fail to see your point. It's the same old cliche with some interesting period detail. Of course poor socialists are just scroungers who want everything for free, while rich socialists are 'hypocrites' because, er, they're rich or something and don't understand the working man (and if they ever do mix it's cos they're "slumming it").One day do you think the actual permissable yearly wage for socialists will be revealed? We're essentially a one party state anyway but you old coots still never stop complaining. I mean, can anyone imagine the sheer hell it must have been to live in 1960s Hampstead- no wonder you had to get yourself expelled? Hope you're enjoying Brexit Britain. Lovely steroid injected beef coming all the way from Australia, and duty free to boot so it'll undercut British farmers. How many years will it be till you realise you've been conned (not hard) so no more than a couple of hundred men could get rich betting against the pound? How many millions has Rees-Mogg made so far? Laughable. The average IQ in this country barely scrapes 3 figures and fuck me it shows.
Pete Waterman (DJ, Coventry's Locarno club) said of Terry Hall, 'he can't sing', but Jerry Dammers said 'he's in, his voice is recognisable'. Same applies for Suggsy
There's probably musical tastes of yours I don't like. The difference is I don't bother listening to TH-cam videos of music I don't like, never mind commenting on them. 😄

Good thing you left Europe to preserve that 😅

It becomes an annual thing ;) I love seeing them live.
Nice to see them playing some of their less well-known songs of old for a change, much as I still love their oft-repeated hits.

Thank you so much for this! I live in the US, and had no way to watch it. Thanks again!
Pure magic, I have some wicked memories from all these tunes.
They were having fun so you knew you were gonna have fun.Thank you lads. x
'In the rain' such an underrated Madness track, love the earlier stuff..
Marks bass on "in the rain" Always loved that bass line 👌

Biggest musical influence on my life..took me through good times and fucking awfull..and still going.. thank you Nutty boys!💘

Thanks for the share ... I was introduced to "Absolutely" by my older brother in my very early teens and been hooked ever since!
Cheers for posting. Me & a mate wore Madness badges in our primary 6 (10/11 years old, 1982/3) as a sign of what rebels we (thought) we were ;0)

50:59 Barso is spot on and a lot of other bands could do well to listen to what he says!
Bloody awesome as always...Thank you chaps.....
Thanks for the upload !
great band, the best,
I wish I was there in 1979 to see Madness, The Specials, The Selecter and The Beat play before their huge success.
40 years of brilliantness 👏😎
Great in concert
Great way how they did the change from then to now. My mates and me went Sunday, this is not Sunday as Lee was wearing a fez that night. 😁
Saw that 2tone tour back then great buzz still
Nutty as ever 👍🍻🦘
I grew up in Camden. Often used to see the boys around. Went through a phase of playing tennis with a few of them during the late 80s. 🎾
Lucky you were
Great show from the Mads, shame there was no Mr. Bosh...
I love the playlist
Great
Ottimo 🎉

Love gorgeous suggs xxxx
Mad stock. LONDON 1998. Who else was there??
Please let us in the States see this!
Mad for it 😂
Wow Suggs' voice is HUGE in the mix innit?? 44:00
bit feeble tonight...but nice for a TV mix
Does it matter to know who's the guy dancing on stage with Madness (I call it Gladness)? I'n'it?
Someone please.
Vinnie Jones
@@comedyfan9665 Thanks! I wasn't sure it was him...

@@comedyfan9665 Well, this event fits the dark comedic styles of both...
Hrey
No mention of Chas whatsoever. Is there bad blood? He was such an integral part of the band and its just not the same without him

Where's smith🤔
Carl left the band in 2014. However he still makes the odd non-live appearance from time to time

In fairness a lot of the tracks they did at Electric ballroom they hadn't done in a while so they would have to rehearse

No wonder he didn't consider himself a singer. Suggs can't sing for toffees
Why comment?
