Toots is most energy filled entertainer of all times, He turns a crowd into a party by just his Presence.

[Phikay1]

Regardless of where it was started, lets agree on keeping the spirit CLEAN as we keep it GOING!! Its a great performance that seems to come from the heart of the performers and the crowd as well.

Peace to ALL.

[we4zell]

Its a shame how anti-racist movements get so perveted. People like Harry Bellofonte have been fighting against this, or rather trying to show a peaceful way like the king! Shameful humans give the peaceful humans bad name!

[star5928]

skinheads from UK, not jamaica, dont mistake the two (skinheads N ska) but the message is the same...fight oppression and ska started in Jam in late 1950's way b4 skinheads were born inna inglan! Rythmn n blues (as RN B WAS KNOWN BAK IN THE 70's), was a huge influence with jazz and soul, and made Ska, which had 'snippets' of those sounds coupled with the island falvour! blues borther sound track has the fast beat too......

[conso133]

[scooterskin25]

original skinhead ska classic

[noivo]

@scooterskin25 ska and reggae talks about peace, love and understanding over all mankind, despite race, but sure, "skinhead" ska..

[TheArtistEYE]

reggae originated in Jamaica coming form pocomania to mento to ska to rock steady and now dance hall, while it's good that people from all over the world love and also perform it, reggae come out of Jamaica, Remember that! and even though the Sublimes rendition of 54-46 is good the song is Toots Hibberts song, which he penned after being arrested for Ganja possesion. I am a true Jamaican. facts mi a chat!!!!

[dugstar]

I love it when kids know nothing about different youth cultures. The first skinheads were greatly influenced by West Indian (specifically Jamaican) rude boys and British mods, in terms of fashion, music and lifestyle. Originally, the skinhead subculture was primarily based on those elements, not politics or race. Myself and my friends are keeps this element of the Skinhead culture alive and kicking and every month hold a great Ska/Reggae night at our local club.

[ThrashingBurton]

@dugstar I love to hear the truth... man where is your club?

[smallz2k]

@dugstar originally known back in yard as 'shineheads' !! pCe.

[djohnny01]

@dugstar Let me tell you something about skinheads that you do not know. THey are individual nothings, that depend on others to succeed. Their identify with a group, because, in a Frudian sense, they have no identity. That is why they hate on a group because any form of group, minority especially, is weaker to them and that is closer to what they are=WEAKLINGS. It is like a homophobe not liking homosexuals WHY you ask? Because he is gay and that equals failure.

[AndyLightning1]

Said I Love ya!.. With the exception of a few people,I wont mention any names Zack

[wotsgoinonhere]

All these armchair historians, fucking ridiculous! I would bet most of you are no older then 25 and have no idea what the fuck you are talking about except something you read in a book or saw online.

[bulbul2tone]

amazing song, skinhead mars

[orangetransformer]

excuse me, i am not big on reggae, but what is skinhead reggae? i mean, skinheads are assholes, and reggae is cool... so i don't get how that mixes

[Dave7576]

@orangetransformer

'Skinhead' has its roots in Jamaica the same as reggae. The whole skinhead thing got hijacked by the neo-nazis (the assholes you refer to) Real skinheads have nothing to do with that. Was just a working class thing

[orangetransformer]

@Dave7576 ahh i see, thank you for clearing that up for me. and yeah i really enjoy this music sooooo calm and groovey

[fronoc]

@orangetransformer Skinheads were the style of Reggae, you obviously don't know anything about music groups. It was the national front that made the Nazi Skinheads

[orangetransformer]

@fronoc thanks..... for clarifying that up... in the nicest way... because i know nothing about music... whatsoever....

[fronoc]

@orangetransformer Yes, that is what I was implying, thank you for allowing my point to go across

[orangetransformer]

@fronoc fuck you? douche..

[cpartida6969]

who cares what it is ............... its got soul and you can move to it oi

[withey11]

Anyone has the right to appriciate any type of music

But it isn't right to act like a part of culture you are not of too look cool or fashionalbe, can't stand upper class white kids acting black to be cool now the whole dubstep and grime scene has caught on. Its ok if people actually respect the culture.

[ThePuljo]

@withey11 It is nothing to do with culture. My boy lollypop made #1 in the UK charts in the early 60s. It was a joke record that sold big time. Island records saw a big profit in the UK. Cash is what it was all about then. They could not make enough records back then in Jamaica for the UK market . Check out the Trojan label story...The rest is history.

Just great music with many spin offs.

[WuffWuffOhFlashy]

Better than the vinyl disc - Yeah yeah - Give it to me 3 times .....

[Ellielife]

@lacerr you're brilliant :)

[Londagamo]

look at all those white people listening to that black guy, kinda makes me feel empowered

[fishbowl4202]

it's funny that was the first thought that came to my head too, except that i'm white too

[69jKe69]

this is the real reggae, skinhead reggae, spirit of 69.

[elpintas10]

@69jKe69 fuck yeha!!

[Trickme10]

@69jKe69 i though it was ska

[ElJahmanStyle]

@Trickme10

(I'm spanish, my english isn't good)

I think that it is rocksteady. It can't be skinhead reggae because tooth and the maythals created reggae, if when T&TM sang there was no reggae, there was no skinhead reggae too.

[ThePuljo]

@ElJahmanStyle Reggae started back in the 50s in Jamaica. Ska, Dub, two tone etc are all spin offs from it. Back in the 60s. The mods took on the music then the skins took it on in the late 60s. It has all ways been big in the UK.

Took the USA 2 tries to get a reggae #1. Written by and american ( Neil Diamond) and sung by a UK band (UB 40)

[jlt31187]

@69jKe69 skinhead reggae. what's wrong with you

[CrimsonGhost]

@jlt31187

Do your research before answering a comment like that! This is definetly skinhead reggae. Ever heard of rude boys?

[SteelToedBootBoy]

@69jKe69 Oi! Brother I have West indian and British among other bloods in me . Been a skin for awhile,Keep the faith!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cartoonistkid001]

@69jKe69

Skinhead Reggae? Since when does Jamaican Reggae belong to white kids from England?

[MrNodzilla]

@cartoonistkid001 .When did reggae belong exclusively to Jamaica,didn't Britain have a huge influence on Bob Marley's career? Arguably they probably made him global,because America didn't want to know and Jamaicans tried to kill him!

[cartoonistkid001]

@MrNodzilla

I'm talking about straight Roots Reggae, early Ska and Blue Beat. I'm sick of the Specials and other white, English, late 70's groups getting called reggae. No offense, I'm just saying what I think. When I think Reggae, I think Toots, Bob Marley, Melodians, Peter Tosh, know what I mean?

[Wingchunskunk]

@cartoonistkid001 Specials is ska man

[69jKe69]

@cartoonistkid001 Hey, the music don't have colors, the race isn't the questions ;)

[bladesmark1]

@cartoonistkid001 Skinheads originated from Jamaica,the white kids from England as you put it were more into Twotone (Ska revival)

[dogmatix45]

@bladesmark1 Wrong bro -- skinheads started in England -- They were influenced by the West Indian (Jamacian ) 'The Windrush'Immigrations into England . They were ANTI-racist,black and white skinheads were all about fashion and dance ( thats why the term Two-Tone was so prevalent)

How do I know -- I was there :D

[bladesmark1]

@dogmatix45 Fair enough mate i stand corrected ;-)

[we4zell]

@dogmatix45 Oi Oi

[NaturalBornKillahs]

@69jKe69 tha real reggae iz natty dread rasta shyt

[69jKe69]

@NaturalBornKillahs You have to review the history of Jamaican music ...The Rastafarians are not born with reggae, or reggae with the Rastafarians

[NaturalBornKillahs]

@69jKe69 true true i kno tha history, but thats my opinion

[djpj22]

@69jKe69 Actually, this is SKA..........

[69jKe69]

@djpj22 what are you saying???? you're in a mistake

[atomic116090]

And it still snows outside...

[ToneChaser4Life]

@THClove

That's what she said.

[rakbjorn2]

u nansey panseys u r all racist and theives the genres of music from mento,ska,rocksteady to reggae and now dancehall were all created in jamaica by jamaicans while u racist pricks were hating and still hating, go make something 4 ur self

[allegroboy0]

Its fucking glastonbury what do you expect .People balck white yellow or green still like this . Don't bring your race agenda in here!!!!!!!

[SOLAJU]

[69fordgreenmonster]

its funny ,, nothing but white people its funny hardly any blacks i find it hilarious

[Kontrocity]

you've got a pretty shallow sense of humor.

[69fordgreenmonster]

i guess thats your opinion . but i dont care

[hamofthewilly]

0:49 what do you call them?

[almightyfoe]

beautiful performance

[MakaSkaBlack]

oh man ! they are fabulous !!! i luv them !

[jukebox1000]

just saw him at rising 09 one of the best acts, he's really good at getting the crowd totally into it

[StephyWephy91]

OMG, this is amazing!

Stick it up, mister!

[cocobuda65]

I concur, I CONCUR, This perfomance is FANFRICKKIN'TABULOUS!!!

[The1tomo]

wtf the specials is not ska it's two tone which is was born in the 70s in and around birmingham .

ska reached british soil during the 60s its originans can be trace back to new orleans boggie music . ska is still big amongst black and white skinheads in the uk . and before you say it i suggest you learn the diffrance between ska and two tone and the diffrance between the diffrent types of skinheads or are you one off these people who thinks all skinheads are racist

[Philionaire123]

a man with a vista!!!! Oi mate

[billyWASTE]

yeah two tone was invented in my hometown, coventry, thats where the specials and a couple of people from the selecter are from

[beanbizzare]

2 Tone (or Two Tone) "is a music genre created in England in the late 1970s by fusing elements of ska, punk rock, rocksteady, reggae and pop. Within the history of ska music, it is classified as its second wave."

So it looks like The Specials do fall into the ska genre.

[flatheadpower2000]

I want a Toots & Maytals baseball cap.

[AppleOfDischord]

Come on guys, chill. Have some love and respect for each other x

[salotch]

Ska was a different era you fucking muppets lol the wailing wailers started with it in the early 60's when they still had short hair and were wearing suits and sunglasses, listen to tracks like "Judge not" and "one cup of coffee" as a lil reference. Just because ska only reached British soil in the form of the specials and and fun boy 3 in the 80's doesnt mean it was invented then lol

[henkvenhanta]

7749343 aint able to read

[7749343]

ryan nect your a fucking cock

[jdoncbus]

.....do you really need to blast Sublime with some added racism? Of course Toots' version is the best, it is the original. Now take the spirit of rock steady, reggae, ska, etc. and not focus on the color of one's skin.

[ryanNECT]

im white, its ok for my to call myself a honky. isnt that the way political correctness works?

[Rykharde]

Wow check out that croud. Thats what a crowd should look like

[SeverinDK]

It looks like playback? - Or is it just me?
