The Too Much Too Young live EP has got to be one of the best live performances to ever reach number one in the pop charts. Every tune a belter and they still stir the heart and soul today. Thanking all band members, including those thankfully still with us and those that have transitioned from this beautiful earth💕
Terry Hall went ballistic at the end of the footage because the security were trying to stop the fans getting onto the stage.The Specials always encouraged people to get up and dance with them. Not like today's prima donnas who want fuck all to do with the punters who pay to watch them live.
Vid missed off the best bit when the stage was crammed with fans moonstompin’ with the band - wouldn’t happen now with the nanny state H&S gestapo, worried that you’d break a nail.
Terry's got a wicked tambourine hand. Bouncers stopping the kids getting on stage? A specials stage invasion is a force of nature...just get out the fucking way =)

It's Nov' 2024 and I'm nearly 60.. 1979 was a great year for music... Sadly my kids are glued to their phones and have never been to a live gig.
RIP Terry Hall, gone too soon. thanks for the amazing music, mate x 💔💔💔
Bloody hell!
Terry Hall, absolute legend. The best band on the planet, the best music, loved them from day one .

Gives me goose bumps , how many bands these days would allow fans to dance with them , nice one guys , RIP Rico what a performer.
RIP terry hall. The coolest of them all. What a singer and performer
God speed Terry, may you rest in peace and thank you for the gift of your music.
1 sad day 😢 god terry you never know how much you loved in Ireland 🇮🇪 by ska fans what a night in the stardust 1982
TH-cam needs a love button
The late Rico Rodriguez on the trombone. RIP Rico.
The Specials are really special
Don't they look young? Stars from my youth. Brilliant!
I am obsessed with this clip. Brilliant just brilliant from start to finish.
love it when there's no distance between a band and their fans
Love the way Rico just slides off after blowing his bit. Probably went for a rum & smoke ;)
Top song, love the drums and guitars, really bouncey and energetic 👍
Brilliant. I remember those and I still want to get up and dance. Trouble is I would fall over now!
Such a brilliant band.
great band driven by a wicked drummer. RIP Brad
You could really hear him driving a wicked beat on this record.
So much fun and energy on stage
RIP Rico. :(
Love this and the original
My all time specials track, as well as a message to you rudy
I love it that Hall is trying to break-up fights during the song
He chucks that tambourine😄legend
This concert is amazing. I love Terry pegging the tambourine reportedly at a member of the fucked up national front.
it was a bouncer stopping us getting on the stage ,i was there ,the only people fighting were the mods skins etc wit the student union
Pure quality.
100% pure nostalgy...

I saw that, right at the end, he threw his tambourine at them!!. The most aggressive I have ever seen Terry get.
RIP Brad
What a weeping and a whailing
They never looked or sounded better.
Wish I was there at Colchester

@@Bri-254 Top man! 👍🏻
Banging.
In college we would crank this up to 11
I'm sure our neighbours loved us.........
Is that Rico Rodriguez on trombone?!
yes
Sure is!
Mayfair Newcastle same tour. Great night. Except for when they walked off stage for crowd fights during you guessed it. Ghost town..
God rest your soul class
LOVE IT!!!!! Just one thing....why is it that in most vids we barely see Roddy, including those where they play his songs?
I love Roddy but he isn't the most photogenic of musicians. Maybe that is why.
@@harveysmith100 That’s just silly.
Here's an even bigger "Long Shot".. does anyone know the drawbar settings Jerry uses on his Vox or where to find them? Thanks ✌✌
"smokiin!"
It certainly is.
Always wanted to learn Roddy's bit

R.IP Terry and Brad
😂🤣😁😃OM f n G life is worth living after all
Aye, it's Rico
always expecting to see Horace smack someone round the head with his base
Thats because this is Twotone & the original is Ska.
that canny b beat
What's after the breakdown? Is that another song?
That's "Liquidator" by the Harry J All-Stars
"It's liquidator if your into ska how do you not know that"~ Tom Hughes 2015
They weren't called the Specials for nothin' ya know.
What was going on with Terry and the audience?
The security were trying to stop the kids getting on the stage to dance. A Specials tradition and the end of a gig.
I guess the Big, Big, Monkey Man was being a bully so Terry launched a tambourine at him
Oh, that'll be why then. :-)
Canny get any better than the Specials
Ska invented so white men could dance , I know I'm white
There's a great interview with Terry Hall on Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (RHLSTP)

Not a patch on the original...
What? That is probable the best cover ever done but if that isn't good enough for you stop listening to the Specials.
No this is probably better 😊
Nobody is SPECIAL!
too fast
Not keeping up with the old zimmer frame then .best go back to sleep then.
