[StretcherMonkey]

The best gig I've been to in 30 years, the last time it was The Specials at the Mountford Hall, Liverpool. Still singing the songs two weeks later. Rude Boyz!!

[Watfordcasual]

went last night great gig more phones gone, around 50 people this time.

Dear Terry Hall,

The Specials should stay together and play a Ska bill with Rancid,The Selecter & Bad Manners!..What a night that would be at Brixton Academy!

We need Ska back on the music menu!!

Have they performed 'Pearls Cafe' at any of their other UK gigs so far?..Tuesday night at Brixton was awesome and frenzied!..How hot was it in there?!..Sauna!

[twostrokedowse]

Ya it was a sauna! it was impossible to cool down as you just cant stop dancing!! what a gig!! what an atmosphere!! clothes were soaked with sweat.

[LetThereBeDrums67]

went last night, the 11th may, The Specials were superb, cant believe how good they were. Night was spoilt for me unfortunately with 30 minutes of the gig to go, cos some C**T had my phone from my front pocket. After gig there were 70/80 people who had all had wallets/phones/cameras nicked...... SCUM

[twostrokedowse]

sorry to hear that it must have spoilt a perfect night, its just a shame the thieving scum were not caught in the act, as im sure the 2Tone choir would have dealt swift justice!!

[LetThereBeDrums67]

Yeah it did spoil it mate, I was having such a great time up to that point. would love 5 minutes in a room with the gang responsible, and 50 of the two-tone choir moonstomping on the c**ts heads
