[mrsmiffy62uk]

DREAD U DA MAN ,,,,,,, RIP GEEZA ,,,

[Just1Cornetto]

Actually, it wasn't a Specials song as theirs was only a cover version too. The original was by Dandy Livingstone from about 1967. It sounds like the mighty Judge Dread was having problems on this particular night as his vocal mike was a lot louder than the music. I wish I could have seen JD live, as the guy is a legend. In this version he doesn't stick to the lyrics of 'Rudi' anyway, he also adds lines from his own singles, and Max Romeo's 'Wet Dream' too, all of which can be found on You Tube.

[cjetable]

well he has the the credit to fuck up the specials song.still i think it,s stupid.

[DocRiddim]

fucking brilliant...the awesome Mr Alex Hughes

[psyhoSt0lkeSrb]

pravda za urosha! a.c.a.b

[Jerryvanv2]

how old is he in this vid?

[SuperPhil1960]

he used to be our dustman in the seventies

[2JAMMY]

I wish there were more people like this about. Relax, chill out and enjoy life instead of wasting your precious energies on racism, violence and petty squabbling......jeez people you know what I mean.

Life is an experience - we should all choose to make it a nice experience!

[TirTairngire]

@2JAMMY

Peace mate.. so know what ye mean.

[2JAMMY]

@TirTairngire :):):)

[Boognish247]

PS- Rest in peace, Judge Dread

[Boognish247]

i can't believe that no-talent ppl are disparaging dread in youtube comments. look at his life, versus yours--what've you accomplished? Even just having worked as security/bill collector for Trojan in the 60s is enough to drive me insane with jealousy. The fact that, even as a drunk old man performing ribald cover versions of bygone reggae hits, Dread can have the footage featured in all of these videos, with all of these comments-- well, it speaks to his general awesomeness.

[jack2london]

his good

[davemartin8686]

Who listens to this garbage.

[nickhlosat]

@davemartin8686 Obviously you.

[TxTFamGuy1]

@davemartin8686 I used to bang your mother to Judge Dread!

[littlefiend]

@drobson876 IGNORANT... go listen to pop reggae shit

[drobson876]

@littlefiend i don't listen to pop reggae shit? i listen to REAL jamaican ska, 2tone, skinhead reggae, rocksteady, dub..... Judge Dread is awful!

[ducktrend]

[drcube250]

[chichakus]

for Pankarn1985:

you should be very young, couse you haven't chance to hear something like:

Dandy Livingstone- Rudy, A Message To You, or: Specials - A Message To You Rudy - ORIGINAL VIDEO, or: Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - A Message To You, Rudy....etc, etc ... steel, you can live in fantasy and feeling fine....

[DereinstbekannteRetu]

[custer1968]

he's doing this Dancehall style..nothing wrong with that..surely?

[jackatthecontrol]

Good video but too much echo pon de vocal

[Basgoodpeople]

Dread didn't made this video, you suckers.

He was there, just singing his song trying to make a party.

The man is a legend, a true hero, nothing but good should be spoken about him.

I like his music a lot, may he rest in peace!

You Rule Judge Dread.

[vondrunk123]

true that this video is terrible but judge dread will always live up to his name, VIVA LA DREAD!!!

SPIRIT OF 69!

[subarudood1]

this sucks...

[SteeleCurtain411]

That's pure slaughter.

[puntoedd]

crap

[puntoedd]

sad

[puntoedd]

i used to like him till i saw this, sad!

[drtmcgirt]

Tru, bless the Dread

[richardbissmire]

I know he was a top man....indeed he was

he was also a gentleman...i wasnt makeing a personal attack....but this performance is pants...almost embarrasing...sorry but thats the way i see it....no offence to the Man !!

R.I.P DREAD

[jon3m2007]

Its odd and sad that fame hides lunacy _ mhh!

[bolanbabe]

alan....was a mate of mine,,,,wanted me to dance on stage with him!!!....bless him...xx

[richardbissmire]

fucking appalling....lol

[richardbissmire]

whoever in there right minds thinks this is good....is a fuckin weirdo...55 years old and prowling around like a 8 year old..beggars belife!"!!!!!!!!!!!

[noxinsox1]

you are most unfair, he is still a legend among skinheads and skasters. if you do not like it do not watch it. RIP Judge Dread - Top man

[dirtydodger]

superbly retarded.

[SillyOclock]

R.I.P.- a sad loss.

[IkillChildren01]

the ecos were unnecessary i think... anyway i like the original better, but i still love Dread

[LemonBonBon1]

Great Memory..... seen him Years ago in Hannover. RIP

[BoraTrad]

hes a legend... RIP Mr. Hughes :/

[Rodros69]

Judge Dread!!!!!

[BNSFuzz]

...hmm...not a very good version of the song. Dandy's and the Specials were a lot better. Kinda sounds like he's not taking it seriously at all

[destan55]

lol love the vid and song

[AnthemForOne]

If only this guy'd been breast fed as an infant, we might have been spared this arrested development gone awry applied to tunes.

[josh414]

TURN THE BG MUSIC UP MAAAAAAAAAAATE

[NERD13]

The best version for ever,Judge the legend!!!

[stoopidryan8]

the song was around before the specials. and dread did a fine job of it. may his music never grow old.

[lJohnnyTheFoxl]

ha he rocked Wet Dream and Dancing Mood.

[Dazicvs]

You are very much missed you fat Bastard, with great affection from another fat bastard.

[Kieranatkins]

I love it, he is having such a great time. Good on the dead bugger!

[lovestrength]

this ol`stump is A star!!!!  <3<3<3

[MikkoJack]

Is this man on LSD?

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

I don't understand him! He's so pointless!

[audrelisasesu]

Legend of Ska and Reggae.

[esmereldatitswallop]

I used to live in Rochester and he was engaged to a girl who lived across the street from me when I was about 10, I just knew him as a guy who was quite funny and didn't realise at that age the implications in his songs lol

[45junkie]

My cousin jacquie in Trottiscliffe once bought a lawn mower of him. How cool is that!

[Gillmok]

When was this recorded!? I saw the madman in 1980, a great gig, but this looks very recent. I didn't realize he was still around, is he still performing?

[Bootboy82]

He died of a heart attack (live on stage) in March 1998 :-(

[tecateshay]

I saw a similar performance with a backing tape in 1989 in Germany a the "Skankin around the Christmas Tree" Festival. This might be frm that night.

[kingrich5000]

Fuck u cunt this guy is a legend and used to live in my hometown Snodland. Classic

[firebladerr1]

horrible white fat cunt fuck off

cant stand the fucker

fucking pervert

[jpr227]

fuck you asshole, he's a Ska legend, if you talk that shit around a skin or rudeboy they'd stomp your fucking teeth in you cunt ass bitch.

[adamballz]

as much as i feel he is a legend.

he's still a strange strange fella.

[schwillyturban]

he's a legend.

but this is pointless. sorry, only the specials can do this.

[harryishotermnah]

no the best version is the original one, long live dandy livingstone.

[djangophile]

undoubtedly!

[bostonstump]

specials was a copy of dandy livingstones song

[schwillyturban]

i think the specials did it a little bit better, although i do like their version as well.

[ckd1]

miss this dude

[oleedee]

OMG WHAT A FREAKY GUY! hahaha

[cosworth10001]

this great man used to live in kent until his sad death

[kingrich5000]

yea in my hometown Snodland lol

[Typhoon124]

Aww man i wish he was still makin records today :( it's a lot better than this wrappin shit that comes on the radio these days :(

[WELSHIE56]

When we were skins 1977, great record

[stephenhare]

dread rules all you ball lickers

[piramida6]

Fuck me.

The guy is brilliant.

He managed to kill the tune I thought can't be killed...

[unfairplay]

[doodyl9]

dread is the only ska artist that I truly hate. He sucks whale balls.

[StzaCrizzack]

was dread a skinhead?

[punkace]

haha- he's wearing rainbow suspenders in some of the videos so my guess is a no.

[Pescolly]

You know your career has tanked when you're singing along to a Casio Chord backing track. Still, big fan.

[MARLINASPEEDWELL]

FUCK ME...! the worst version of this song ive ever heard !

[Hustensaft90]
