I was at this gig, 16 years old, I'd love a copy of the whole video of this. Madness played before the Specials. The stage was only built of scaffolding and partially collapsed at the end during the stage invasion. I once saw a videotape of the gig and saw myself skanking on stage during the stage invasion...
ok i just realised you're mike cornwell so if anyone has the videotape of the whole countdown program, you'll have it... i have a few (not very good) still photos i took at that gig...
Mike, brilliant posting. I saw them twice at the Apollo in Glasgow; first time promoting The Specials and the second time promoting More Specials - amazing. Last week I was at a friends 40th birthday party just outside Glasgow and Neville Staple and his band were the entertainment - a very special night. I intend to go through all your ska postings so thanks again. P.S I still have both albums on vynil so they are currently being played to death. Read Horace Panter's biog - Ska'd For Life

I like the specials better than the sex pistols. more complex. the only band in that era that i can compare them to is the talking heads.
