Good band (thanks for the posting)

Terry was laughing because, apparantly, he saw Jerry Dammers in the audience. Jerry had just taken a swig of his pint, when they started Gangsters. His eyes grew to four times there normal size & the 10 people in front of him were sprayed in a high pressure jet of beer.

I LOVE THE SPECIALS, and i respect too much Terry Hall, but, this band really sucks. The song rocks!

[blairbooth]

Terry Halls Terry Blair And Anouchka single Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes is back up!

[ISawRed123]

terry smiled! but what is with his hair?? its awful!

[katoness]

A fucking cello in Gangsters! Great version. I wonder why the FB3 only ever played this Specials song, and not any other tracks. Anyone know why?

[daypeshmodd]

@katoness I'm surprised he even played a Specials song. He'd just left the band afterall, after lots of fights (Terry's known for leaving all his bands asap, even when all is ok). Cant remember the details of how it's going with the reunion of the Specialsnow, but at first, Jerry told Terry that he couldn't use the name The Specials, & legally he was right. So at first, the reunited 'Specials' did a gig, I think, called smth like A Very Special Night.

Seeing this, Jerry prolly had a stroke

I took a pic with Terry this april...he hugged me tight and smiled....HEAVEN

[sirtinycreep]

Why did Terry Hall always turn round to his band and grin like a Cheshire cat, WHILST he was singing??

[MOONST0MP]

I wonder if Terry felt like cuttin that stupid hair off after hed sang this that day.

excellent! thanks!

[982Munchie]

Fantastic rendition, thanks! Looks like it was originally filmed for a televised show or such? Love the background extras they've added since Terry did this with the Specials.

@982Munchie

This was recorded at Pinkpop, the world's oldest annual festival. Ever since I can remember, Dutch radio and television have recorded it.

If you know what to look for, and where to look for it, you can still find some of those gigs online.

[ducktrend]
