EL MEJOR GRUPO SKA LEJOS!!!!!!

Beautiful as always. I needed to hear this song in this particular version.

A very great song. Profound, brilliantly written and Robert Wyatt at his most moving.

My fave song by BTR as a twelve year old punk was always "She's So Modern", waiting in anticipation of the lead guitar break, hairs on the back of my neck on end, body tingling lol , it's true... and it still affects me that way today as a 58 year old...

Clive Langer wrote the tune for Robert Wyatt, but was not happy with the lyrics that he had written himself. Langer played the tune to Elvis Costello at a party, and days later Costello wrote what he described as "the best lyrics I've ever written".

J'y étais

When the bass kicks in on concrete jungle ❤

de la vrai musique !!!!

Bless Up Skanks

Pauline Black is now aged 87. She still wears the same outfit, even if she is just popping out to the shops, to get milk or a newspaper.

The platonic ideal of this song would have the double bass of Wyatts version and the trumpet of Costello's

Fun ska memories of the early 80's.

These guys never made a poor record. That album was classic. Pauline Black is phenomenal!

What’s the name of the venue ? This in Brussels ?

I saw them in 1980 in Vancouver, B. C.. They opened for The Police. By the time they were finished, I didn't care about the main act. The Specials stole the show.

Weird to think that I saw them on Friday December 9, 1977 at the Colston Hall, Bristol (England) when I was 17. And now I'm coming up 65 next March

Goood！！Rude boys❤

Roddy is on fire here!

They are not dancing because they’re French, useless at absolutely everything!!✊🇨🇦🇨🇦

£4k for an Oasis ticket or £1.50 to go back in time and catch that vibe?

Audience trollin?

Soo good Thank you Started listening 1982, I was thirteen then. The Gift was my first album

Glad I saw them prior to losing Gaps, would never have been the same without him.

Cov city. I was there 2.

Who does and does mhe thik .

Frog

They were brilliant !

Well done the specials for carrying on to a shite audience

The audience don't know what just hit them from the UK! I didn't see any of the audience dancing/clapping to the end of Monkey Man!! Come on Europe, you can do better than that. I've just watched the whole thing and the applause is clearly dubbed. This audience is clearly brain dead. If we called you racist, there'd be an uproar. What's wrong with you. Don't you know good music when you hear it????

Feargal hatte eine tolle Figur. Heute ist er etwas......kräftiger, aber ein toller Mensch. Er kümmert sich sehr engagiert um den Zustand von Englands Flüssen.

the audience was not very enthusiastic

I miss you every day Terry.

Sounds like Tear for Fears' "I Believe"....

the audience 😂😂😂😂😂

When music still mattered.

"Ca Plane Pour Moi"!

Great!

Plastic Bertrand! Onion Dolls! The Kids!

"No Time To Be 21"

Brilliant what a great band, one of the bands I missed out on seeing live🥲.

Generique genial et the jam excellent

I missed out during this bands era but catching up in 2024 😅

Thanks for the upload of the band The Boomtown Rats early ska punk sound. Listening in 2024!!! Arizona 🇺🇸

❤❤❤

Fantastic song

"His mother bought him a synthesiser Got the Human League into advise her" Excellent lyrics!

I remember telling my my mum to listen to "Suedes Shipbuilding" she did and then she told me to listed to Wyatts original, and I conceded the original was better and darker.

Masterpiece. Masterpiece. Masterpiece. Masterpiece.

Fantastic song, thanks so much for the upload, love it

First heard this on the compilation album”Nothing Can Stop Us” which has many incredible tracks like Caimanera, Stalin Wasn’t Stallin’ and Strange Fruit which is especially affective, chilling, haunting, beautiful. Maybe google its meaning before listening if you’re not familiar with it.
