these guys spread love and happiness all around the world, this is britain at its best, suggs and lads thank u so much.

[@Vaginaninja]

Good thing you left Europe to preserve that 😅

[@Craigmt12]

Love Madness, and loving the older stuff. Such a shame that Chas wasn't part of these celebrations, especially during the last HOF Weekender where they played a good mixture of old stuff that is rarely heard. Hope he comes back in time for the next album.

[@clipzardog1620]

Thank you so much for this! I live in the US, and had no way to watch it. Thanks again!

[@ajsimo2677]

Nice to see them playing some of their less well-known songs of old for a change, much as I still love their oft-repeated hits.

[@kcconneely6817]

Pure magic, I have some wicked memories from all these tunes. They were having fun so you knew you were gonna have fun.Thank you lads. x

[@lincbond442]

I've had the pleasure of seeing these fine gentlemen three times in concert. Had tickets to see them a fourth time in 2020 but the pandemic ruined that plan. Absolutely love these guys. Madness fan for life!

[@strachansdroneservices4870]

It becomes an annual thing ;) I love seeing them live.

[@davidmorgan3337]

Churrr.. been a fan since 1980 but never seen them live. Madness were a formative band for me and Woody inspired me to take up the drums. I eventually fronted my own bands and our originals all had a ska influence to them. Please come to New Zealand.

[@fatblokes_ferguson]

I watched a previous video regarding madness, they mentioned the floors moving above them, but ive seen them at 2 festivals and 2 arenas, the floor has always bounced, great fun bud scary in a concrete arena.

[@Dukey39]

'In the rain' such an underrated Madness track, love the earlier stuff..

[@strachansdroneservices4870]

8 times (relatively few) times seen them live, travelled the length of britain 3 times ;) Best gig had to be the round house and all the old back album, brilliant. I wont ever forget that night listening to the stuff they rarely play live :) A lot of the less known tracks are their best. Close second was House of Common. Never made the HOF gigs. Just had a rather large M tatt done (late life crisis!). Best band to grace the planet running close with Blondie!

[@rabbieburns2501]

Cheers for posting. Me & a mate wore Madness badges in our primary 6 (10/11 years old, 1982/3) as a sign of what rebels we (thought) we were ;0)

Thanks for the share ... I was introduced to "Absolutely" by my older brother in my very early teens and been hooked ever since!

Marks bass on "in the rain" Always loved that bass line 👌

[@virgilrytaar9083]

No mention of Chas whatsoever. Is there bad blood? He was such an integral part of the band and its just not the same without him

[@comedyfan9665]

@@virgilrytaar9083 He appears in the band’s 2021 docuseries, Before We Was We. However, I do believe there was a falling out and he wanted to do some solo work so left the band in 2014, with a view to re-join at a later date, but due to his health, he has never returned. He also appears in Lee Thompson’s 2018 film, One Man’s Madness

[@comedyfan9665]

In fairness a lot of the tracks they did at Electric ballroom they hadn't done in a while so they would have to rehearse

I grew up in Camden. Often used to see the boys around. Went through a phase of playing tennis with a few of them during the late 80s. 🎾

I grow up in Hampstead and went to Haverstock and was expelled in 1969 , Haverstock introduced me to the Hypocrisy of socialism, half the school rough working class kids the other half the children of Hampstead’s champagne socialist who were slumming it to distort the exam results and improve the profile of the school; the Miliband brother being the most high profile students, the Conservatives called Haverstock Labours Eton

[@Spectrescup]

sorry, I fail to see your point. It's the same old cliche with some interesting period detail. Of course poor socialists are just scroungers who want everything for free, while rich socialists are 'hypocrites' because, er, they're rich or something and don't understand the working man (and if they ever do mix it's cos they're "slumming it").One day do you think the actual permissable yearly wage for socialists will be revealed? We're essentially a one party state anyway but you old coots still never stop complaining. I mean, can anyone imagine the sheer hell it must have been to live in 1960s Hampstead- no wonder you had to get yourself expelled? Hope you're enjoying Brexit Britain. Lovely steroid injected beef coming all the way from Australia, and duty free to boot so it'll undercut British farmers. How many years will it be till you realise you've been conned (not hard) so no more than a couple of hundred men could get rich betting against the pound? How many millions has Rees-Mogg made so far? Laughable. The average IQ in this country barely scrapes 3 figures and fuck me it shows.
