[jakestessa35]

[jimmybob12]

What's Terry so pissed about?

RASH.

[AxiomAnarcho]

1:02 bahahahahhahahahahaahahhaha

[skinheadpunk101]

This is epic...especially when they all get up on the stage and start dancing xD

[VillyAvantGarde]

I would love to be in this crowd. Props to Terry for being blunt with that tambourine!

[JHFillmoreEast]

why did some stupid fuck turned it iinto racist nazi bullshit ?

[y3ko86]

Anyone know when Longshot was alive  ?

[sameshitdiffass]

i like how they have radiohead in the suggestions.

[spastic017]

everyone discussin about skincolors... fuck off! can't you see you're doing some sort of positive discrimination? i think you all agree with me that it doesn't / shouldn't matter what kind of skin color you have, but at least stop talking about it and have fun and listen to the music...

[FilthContact]

[ChrisMcann182]

great energy what a gig :)

[bodosegogo]

1:28 cocainee

[DXPunx74]

@bodosegogo I saw that. lol.

[gibbo5370]

skinheads aren't racist folks.......boneheads are..........it's always amazed me how confused some 'skins' get about how they're supposed to hate blacks but love their music lol

[AndyKofHB]

Yes, Terry took a swipe at one of the bouncers that was getting rough on a kid trying to get on stage. He took exception to this and told the bouncer to piss off. Terry sees him again at 1:01 and throws the tambourine at him.

[chesudakafan]

Did someone just got smacked in the face with a tamborine @ 0:27

[duderoo1975]

The issue is that Mod skinheads were working class mods who couldnt afford tailored suits. The instead wore docs, tight jeans, parkas and skin heads and the movement progressed to 2tone and it become mainstream and the far right who also took part in this then fashion carried it forward.

Skin head = MODS 4 LIFE NOT NAZIS

[seanywoo1]

At uni in the 80's there were many punks, goths, mods, new romantics, swampies, etc. Never any skinheads though!

[haushundekuchen]

epic. Love the specials

[bossskinhead1969]

[MrChatmuska]

OI FROM INDONESIAN...

[OJC1994]

[sinister066]

[Topshizzleable]

[Topshizzleable]

[pujosetionugroho]

i don't know its just me or not, this music was created back in the late 70's but it's always fresh, like a new song :)

[animeisthecoolest]

[Botemedlet]

I totally lol'd when he threw the tambourine.

[sexydyl1234]

exellent i love ska music

[TheLloydus01]

Is that a young Bez joining in?....

Could be!

[MrJconnolly1916]

i still think the specials still should have jerry dammers on keyboard

[MrJconnolly1916]

terry was raging at the bullying bouncers

[hapakek1]

terry looked so pissed off

[garnyan]

No one but no one beat the Specials  grew up with their music stomped,,one good keep fit dance indeedy ,,,

[MADEinnEngland]

i grew up with these guys and terry still owes me 50p coventry will never have a better band than these guys......

[casestudyification]

I wonder what Terry saw at 1:00.

[casestudyification]

Sorry if I seem pigheaded , but in my opinion any group nowadays who think they're ska don't hold a freaking candle to the Specials. Nobody did it like the Specials.

[BlogBitch]

@casestudyification So you know who The Pioneers are. 

[casestudyification]

@BlogBitch That's right. I wish more people did.

[TheSeanm102]

@amipunkyet1 yeah he is bi polar justread an interview wiyh him the other day and he talked about it he can't drink now because of the drugs he's on now

[stuarty40]

First band I saw live in 1979, still love them............

[vinth1984]

sharp pride

[ricie65]

Being from the era...I was around Brum at the time-specials-beat-selector...­Unity was a big thing then-Low and behold 30 yrs later and I live in Notts-walking past Train station early morn n a load of those EDL twats were lurkin about-The mindset-as Im 15st 5'11 with a bald head a few of the scum cunts raised their brows and nodded as clearly they still have the mentality of a toad-Ooooh he must be one of us....YOU WOULD NOT HAVE LIVED BACK THEN......SKA LIVES ON BLACK AND WHITE

[ricie65]

Can you really see todays so called musicians/bands up yer own ass tossers ever letting their fans on stage to enjoy it-NOPE....Terry-Neville and the boys-Long Live SKA

[TheFemmgurl]

straight to the ipod u go!

[slinkyminnxy]

excellent what can i say but oi oi xxx dee uk xxx

[adamcharney]

I love these guys so much I got their band logo tattooed on my arm. How could I resist?

[ComanderWallsRandom]

hell yeah! 1 140 726 views!!!!

[TheMarkmckenna]

any nazi skin who listens to ska is a hypocrite, because the red and black checkers represent black and white unity.... nazi skins suck

[xfinchx]

@TheMarkmckenna wouldn't black and white be more apt?!



[TheMarkmckenna]

@xfinchx type-o obviously



[wford7able]

@TheMarkmckenna couldnt agree more mate ....

[systemfighter220]

@TheMarkmckenna I agree with you, but dont you mean white and black checkers? haha

[TheMarkmckenna]

@systemfighter220 yeah i meant to say that:L corrected myself earlier i think

[systemfighter220]

@systemfighter220 oh sorry didnt see the correction haha

[mcgoo721]

@systemfighter220 He probably did, but really the colors never really meant much. I mean, not on a global scale. Some places or certain groups might put a meaning on why they wear a color, but you can't apply that rule everywhere.

Like for example some people think white boot laces means white power. To others it can mean the exact opposite. To most though, it's for the white on black contrast haha.

[MrRik338]

@TheMarkmckenna two tone ;)

[Bapewatch01]

@TheMarkmckenna too bloody rite, bunch of ass holes, nazi or racist skins either way theyre bottom of the pile with other fk heads in this world. ska is a united style of music disregarding any colour of skin.

[bacemonkey]

OI OI OI S.H.A.R.P.S STAND UP

[bwill1969]

Lets all just Skank it up...

it brings a nostalgic tear to a grown mans eye while watching this. oh to be 16 and stomping around in my 18 hole docas and my crombie again. these were glory days, with music and fashion of true substance.

[northernsoul44]

@wozelbeak Same here mate. I heard the song and looked at the date then felt a little lump in my throat. Those were good times.

[iloveesr]

AT 21 / 21 seconds, you can see Terry SMILING!!! LOOK CLOSELEY!!

[Dunkzzz95]

[bregreen72]

[mrralvintwerp]

@amipunkyet1 i think your getting mixed up with other rock legends adam ant or kerry katona

[hpdrifter1]

Ha ! Brilliant!

[pollythewasp]

This is the Colchester Institute gig from Rock Goes To College, IIRC, well worth a download.

[ThePanzerfist44]

[ummpa1]

S.H.A.R.P.

[Beerschot]

@ummpa1 Piss off with your left-wing bullshit!

[WarMachineNI]

@Beerschot sharp isnt left wing. thats what rash skinheads are. sharp is just purely agaisnt racism and the invasion of the right wing in the scene. basically they want to get rid of it

[paulePpunkt]

Yeah

[skarapado]

[AxeManJax]

The first half is a cover of "Liquidator" by Harry J All Stars, which is normally sung by Wolves fans dissing West Brom (which I don't condone at all, btw)

[vsister]

Can't watch this without smiling!

[MadnotMad79]

I Want all you skinheads to get up on your feet, put your braces together and your boots on your feet.... :)

[bluejeckett]

This is cool, I loved the ska movement of the late 70's early 80's loved the simple fashioon of short hair braces and tight clothing, sort of nice to see that though there's skinhead style fashion it's not in a racist way. Wish I'd been there.

[Tayles123]

[Magnificoooooo]

[StraightPunkEdge93]

[RudeNRebel69]

Ha... Terry 1:01 jajaja!

[StickyyWinklee]

lol, anyone else notice Terry trying to dash that guy in the head with the tamborine at 0:26 ? xD

[AndyKofHB]

@StickyyWinklee Terry was taking a swipe at one of the bouncers roughing up a kid. If you notice, a group of dancers tries to get on the stage. One of the bouncers grabbed a kid by the neck and Terry took exception to it. At 1:01 he sees the same bouncer and throws the tambourine at him. Very cool of him!

[138FrOsTy138]

[BettieIncarnate72]

Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP) are anti-racist skinheads who oppose neo-Nazis and other political racists, particularly if those racists identify themselves as skinheads.

SHARPs recognize the biracial origins of the skinhead subculture, and resent what they see as the hijacking of the skinhead name by white power skinheads. Beyond the issue of anti-racism, there is no official political ideology of SHARP.
