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...
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 ❤
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.
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
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
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.
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! 💯
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.
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 ❤
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.
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❤
'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.
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!❤
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.
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
So very happy to see this with Amy in it. Most people have absolutely no clue how much of today's music has its roots somewhere in what the Specials did back in the late 70s, early 80s.
Dj Jazzy Bless I really don't think I did overstate it. The Specials, as I'm sure you were aware, were rather obscure as a band (not so obscure that nobody had heard of them or anything, but compared to other groups from the late 70s, early 80s like Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles, they were obscure) yet several prominent artists list them as one of their key influences. Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper, and Jack White come to mind immediately.
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.
@@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.
My very first gig as a very young teenager, The Specials in my home town Cardiff. RIP both legends.
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.
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
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.
All my heroes dropping. Feeling so old tonight. Lucky to have all these recorded memories so easily to hand.
She loved The specials, she was in her element , bless her .
Fgfggh
I love the Specials too, and her... Bless her.

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 ❤️❤️
OMG, She was so bloody Special with the Specials, favourite band favourite Singer a one off.
Love from 🇬🇧.
Ghost Town is on of the greatest tracks ever. I'm in awe of anyone who can create songs like that.
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 could never get enough of them

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.
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 !
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.

I won't be the only one playing the music of The Specials tonight. RIP Terry Hall
Listening tonight!!
Two years a go I was on Specials concert. Since today I know that Terry is in heaven. Message to you!
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. ❤🎶
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'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 👏
What a combination! The Specials and Amy Winehouse. Perfection. RIP
Favourite band and favourite singer too...memories of time spent in my youth watching this band in Coventry
10 years today bless.loved the girl
I'm 57 and to me the best thing England produced in my life time.
So sad
I’m 58 mate feeling it too
God bless you Terry. Thanks for the memories. RIP.
"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.
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
Two of the best now both gone, thanks for the memories
Such a sad, preventable loss of Amy. Great moments in music preserved. Thanks for posting.
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.

Sending you thoughts from afar. KiaOra from New Zealand. I hope you are doing well on your journey.
Same here Harry 20 plus years of using 20 years clean now, Never look down on users, Its a hard battle all the best mate.
Stay strong and safe, man! 💪

Sad news , legends both of them RIP
Blasting out on my balcony , having a sing along , thanks for the music .
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 ♥️

Two of my all time favourites,both now gone.amy had only a year left after this show
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!!
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 '' ??
Beautiful duet Terry and Amy. To much talent, to much love!!
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❤
R.I.P Terry Hall...jamming with Amy again ❤️
What a beautiful combo.
Sleep tight Amy and John, thank you for your music.
Grew up with The Specials great times 👍
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.
Fabulous ❤️ RIP both Amy and now Terry 😢 but will always live on your music.🎶🎼♥️
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!❤
Well said so sad
Can never forget this marvellous lady. Love you Amy always xxx
A fantastic talent taken from us so young singing with Amy Winehouse. Thank you for everything Mr Hall, rest in peace ❤
Nice to see Amy and The Specials on stage together. Shame Amy and Terry have passed. RIP both 🙏🏻
I just looked around
Never seeing Amy live is one of my biggest musical regrets in life. Truly a special woman.
Absolutely brilliant may Terry,John Brad Bradbury and Rico Rodriguez and Amy winehouse rest in peace 🙏🙏😞👍
Listening to this song in Jan at nearly 10pm at night, somehow it makes me feel some sun on my skin.
"Count yourselves lucky" - awesome performance indeed!
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.
Ahhh The Specials.. it takes me back to my SKA days :) RIP Amy, what a talent!
This video is probably always gonna make me tear up. What a load of talent up there. Legends live on… ❤
Brilliant ❤️ two special ppl gone 🙏♥️ this song ghost town is so true now nothing changes for the working classes for real ♥️
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stumbled across this and I'm so glad to say I was there aged 16
Amy loved The Specials. When she comes onstage in her 2-tone top ......"suns out, Specials are here". I wish she was still here. ☹️♥️😊
Nice to see so many young people understanding what we all knew growing up in the late seventies. We knew they were Specials
The stuff id do to go back in time and watch this in the flesh 🙏🏻 rip Amy rip terry ❤️
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
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.
One of the best days of my life. My favourite all time band and a supremely talented lady.
Wow..did not know this ever happened. Terry Hall what a legend
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
What an absolute joy 💜
there are not words that can express how much I love this version of Ghosttown....
Her improvisation during the end of You Wondering Now is a actually great.
Can't believe Amy has gone what a darling god bless you baby girl
Very special video means so much to so many people !!
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
Kids. Well done kids. You brought us such good music from your youth. We grew up with you.
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!!!
Agree. Two of music's greatest. RIP Amy & Terry.
I love watching this. It never gets old.
Amys beautiful powerful voice weaving through their music
Watch this over and over bloody love it,RIP Amy
Always remember you may meet an angel didn't realize it
First heard the specials as a 12 year old now 54 still love ya. God bless yah TH x
