Back in those days, these artists had their own fan club, yet when they came together onstage, the focus was to entertain the crowd, not to compete and strive for one-upmanship and forwards. It was pure love, harmony and togetherness, something our current crop could do well to emulate.
Yo..im 41yrs old i grew up in flatbush BK listening to the cassette with these dudes..this is the real shit right here... Throw backs for your ass..peace
Anybody listening in 2020? Big Up all Flatbush Massive!! 1980s Biltmore Ballroom, Starlight Lounge, Kenmore movie theater. If you was jamming in a basement party, give a thumbs up!👍
Burro Hot! Hot! Hot! They don't hold party like this any more. Back inna di 80's it was more about the art and skill than the money. Bring back the old school dance hall!!!
respect to the foundation,man like tenor saw nicodemus,r.i.p...burro banton mi general,cutty you large,little john mi artist,supercat,much honor ...from shiney culture....
+Daniel Graham aww thanks yeah my older sister brought me up with it in the 90's in East London she would always always have the tunes pumping and made me cassettes back then with dancehall and reggae on so I could listen to it on my Walkman haha. I do love a bit of lutan fyah and some of alkaline and vybz and sizzla etc the list goes on and on love Jamaican music
The first dude who 'Ram tha session' rocked me with the Simon Templar reference....my favorite and easily The Greatest TV SHOW of all time!! Bless Jah and Roger Moore~!!!!

So what about the likes of Lord Sassafrass, Althia & Donna, General Echo, General Trees, Jose Wales & Charlie Chaplin, Brigadier Jerry, Sister Nancy, Michigan & Smilie. -- All the a fore mentioned had an impact on the dance hall scene one way or the other.
i will add to that wonder list : Ranking Toyan, Burro Banton.. Nicodemus ( how can you leave out Nicodemus ?), Junior Demus, Junior Cat, Sister Nancy, Terror Fabulous, Tiger, Billy Boyo and the great Jah Thomas

Iz ah man weh grew up in this era and i look at all de artist weh pass wey. Nitty, Tenah, Demus, and the likes and wonder what would they be like now. Sadly though there's no market for old reggae artist, especially here in the US. Hence why so many come here to try and buss. Funny as i was just talking to Shabba about this a few months back (He lives in the next town from me). We need more labels like VP to dist. some of the veterans & bring them back.
Omg.. who can ride the riddim like these man dem this soldiers are living foundation artists..big up the all the stars ⭐️ dem, rip tenor saw 🙏🏽cutty ranks a bad bwoy, burro banton, super cat & demus are the legends,me nah forget joe lick shot💥💥💥💥💥🔫
Can't get bored of watching/listening to this. Proper dj's, proper lyrics, proper tunes. None of that bs you hear nowadays like Vybz Cartel where they just chat pure shit dressed like a Christmas tree your partially blind granny decorated
I was there 1985 , not at this show , but , i did see all of them at other stageshows and partys in 1985 - Jamaica , Music will newer be like this .. i realy miss this kind of vibes
Thanks ASTRO I never understood rap and lived in a square box-now I know why my kids always liked hip hop-I have learned alot from you and how much good there is in hip hop-thanks for sharing this video!
Love when Burro Banton hands off the mic, and calls cutty an "apprentice"(?) and Demus lets out a chuckle...haha, cutty correctly states it "be a cantankerous business tonight" and then DESTROYS, what an amazing video
see the one in a the stripe shirt grey n black him name id him was the manage the sound the indian in the suit name trevor a the boss dat .#RIP...dem past away long time ...life is amazing

If only I could travel back in time; I was 3 years old in 1985. Thanks to TH-cam, a virtual time machine, I can "live" this experience, repeatedly.
Pure dancehall. The late 70s and into the 80s was the golden age for dancehall.
Todays stuff doesnt compare. Respect to the day.
Listening in 2024 must of been a real honor performing with Tenor Saw back then...some real GIANTS here bless up!!
Tenor was the greatest voice of reggae full stop HalleluYah 🇯🇲🙌🏽🔥👑🕊
Pure madness. So much talent on one stage. Crazy.
RIP Tenor Saw, we love you.

i must disagree: kartel would murda dem all inna one verse
The point made was clearly missed.
Burro Hot! Hot! Hot!
They don't hold party like this any more. Back inna di 80's it was more about the art and skill than the money.

This is the original free style before RAP and HIP-HOP was invented. The mother of the new school music,the music speaks the truth.
Well rap and hip hop were from West Indian Americans in NY anyway.
Love Burro Banton style of chatting all the voice tune changes are fab, Gwannnn

Real great music ⭐️⭐️🇯🇲🇯🇲💯💯👌👌👌
Toasting...One of the foundations of Hiphop.

Diabetes. One of the few djs from that generation of dancehall who actually died of natural causes. Miss him, he and Super Cat were dope together.
