R.I.P you beautiful legend, Terry Hall..

[@tapaleukkupang1242]

This is awesome, no camera phone, just dancing and feel the beat😍

[@begorgeous2394]

They are bloody brilliant. We watched them live in Wolverhampton recently and I can tell you I was in awe. The negative comments are stupid. It's like saying she was beautiful at 16 now she looks crap cause she's 50! This gig doesn't capture the atmosphere as it does live. Believe me they may be older than in the 80's but they are still fantastic

[@markprentice7157]

Lucky to have seen them live in late 70 s. Just as good now .👌👌👌

[@paulacatcatballou3907]

Absolutely I believe they are still brilliant the soul stays the same ❤️

[@awwmann8821]

He was a legend ,,,,,,proper jamacan sounding drum beat

[@CasimirLeYeti]

John "Brad" Bradbury (16 February 1953 - 28 December 2015) was an English drummer and record producer. He is best known for having been the drummer in the English ska group The Specials

[@Captain.Pugwash]

I'm in awe

[@14bonkyb]

@@awwmann8821 I sat down and had a cup of coffee with Rico Rodriguez once in Exeter, he told me that Brad was the best Ska drummer he had ever worked with. He said that Brad understood the Jamaican way of drumming low on the kit. There is another clip somewhere of Brad drumming with the camera looking directly down on him, its astonishing. Roddy Byers told me that one of the reasons Brad was so good was that he could switch styles effortlessly and within a song, so he could combine elements of Ska, Soul and Rock seamlessly.

Those were the days! Dancing to all skinhead ska! Hark the angels sing terry!!

What's the name of the second song?

[@asmith313131]

Longshot kick the bucket

[@melthebell33]

Its a classic 60s ska / skinhead tune by the Pioneers, a ska staple

[@juliansmith4295]

It's called Skinhead Symphony (a medley of Longshot Kick de Bucket, The Liquidator & Skinhead Moonstomp), so technically the second song is Longshot Kick de Bucket.
