THE SPECIALS - "Monkey Man" Brixton 07May09 Crowd Atmosphere

30th Anniversary tour - The Specials live @ Brixton Academy on the first night of the London dates (6 May was cancelled due to Terry Hall being ill). The venue was at capacity and this vid is very shaky at times but captures the crowd atmosphere pretty well. I will edit my other clips into a better quality mix later, for now, Enjoy Yourself!!! Worth every minute of the 30 year wait

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

[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!!
