Every generation that comes think they know better than the one that went before, good to see father and son hanging out … I’m not talking bout the roots in the land but talking bout the roots in the man……

I met Don at a Lee Scratch Perry concert in Leicester around 10 years ago. We went outside to smoke and the cheeky boy smoked most of my Marlboros. Then I met him again at Alexandra Palace where he was doing a DJ set. He's a top man as well as a legend in both Reggae/Dub but in the Punk scene. Respect.

[@newforestpixie5297]

Is there an on line radio station which plays this dub or roots music that someone can recommend ? I’m probably as old as Don but in the middle of nowhere between 2 large towns both 15 miles in either direction of which neither have anything interesting on the air. ❤️🏴👍

[@AlanTaylorCRSmusicproduction]

Anyone know what that track near the end is? Sounds like the London Posse?

[@SkeeterNYC]

Love the footage at 201:10 of Chrissie Hynde showing Viv Albertine and Palmolive how to play the guitar.

[@lorianelor8152]

vous aussi on vous a forcé à regarder la vidéo ??

[@martaskoneczna1325]

Pama International 'Equality & Justice For All'

[@NickSalterNaCL]

Hey. Anyone know the tune playing from 28:10 ?

[@highestregionmediagrouplon2380]

Waaaaah!

[@prpwnage9296]

His hair looks great. Stop hiding it in that scruffy hat Don!

[@bobjary9382]

The Clash ? It has always confused me to hear the Clash referenced when drawing a line between punk and reggae. Of course there is a line but its a bit of a thin frayed sort of line compared to the bold, strident and purposeful one that joins up the Ruts with reggae. The Ruts for me were more punk and played far better sounding, more varied and more heartfelt reggae .

[@mith150176]

Anyone know the name of the tune that comes in at 21.33? ask the question,question the answer..

[@cjc793]

Check the credits at the end. Apparently "pama international - question the answer"

[@muttilo]

where is the rest ? That came to a screeching halt wtf !?

[@chrishinsdale]

CHANT DOWN BABYLON!

[@jamescashin288]

Is that Sly Dunbar at 11:05 ?

[@RaggaBaby]

Lol yeah it does look a bit like him doesn't it? But i'm pretty sure it's not him

[@RydemsplertIMPARTIALMUSIC]

It is. They just blended that short sequence into this docu for some reason.

[@randyyoung5919]

sons seems not to care less....pity

[@randyyoung5919]

correction...Don wasn't around a few years..i get it

[@betdavis]

Could someone please tell me the name of artist/singer at 5.22, cracking wee reggae rhythm and I need to know it!!

[@ErikVaughnDillinger]

Anyone know the song that starts at 5:23?

[@geeblanco]

+ErikVaughnDillinger Shazam says it's "Equality and justice for all" by Pama International ;)

[@ErikVaughnDillinger]

Thanks :)

[@MUGSANDWICH]

check his son putting posters on top of others. Faux pas mate!

[@cliffordhathaway6796]

Is it me or does jet not care too much about his roots?

[@PAULLONDEN]

True ......music is a saviour ....one has to search out the true originals though. Don't believe Don has heart for "dubstep" .....it's too cold machine like..unless he tries to "get with it" for his son...... Hardly any cool 70's dub here , but this lousy sleep inducing dubstep. Shame on you Letts . Seems more a case of "Stuporsonic" 👍🥺 dad giving his son's career a step up..... Bytheway....after Letts left ,B A D became bad very fucking fast "bad" as in "lousy" ......

[@spookybaba]

I despised Big Audio Dynamite. But, I've always liked Don with his background in the punk scene.

[@pamelascanlon5940]

Third Generation British Born White I guess Since 1600. Its trible we carn't survive as lone sheep. With love. Pam.

[@earinsound]

Too much about his kid's dubstep

[@ashleywhiteman2684]

trying to keep it relevant to a new generation, there's a moderate splash of other stuff in there though

[@ISellassie]

Dubstep is boring an it ain't sayin much

[@dyr234]

real dub are the versions on israel vibrations same song record or some of the dubs from burning spear. fuck dubstep two good words put into crap music.

[@marcp3788]

It was not meant too, it's instrumental dance music, you fool

[@benzz4960]

Dub step is dead, and thank fuck for that

[@chrisantoniou4053]

towards the end of the video he says he is 53 years old and he still doesn't know what is going on! basically he is saying that he still don't know his perpose in life! look to God my friends and you will find true meaning and satisfaction in your life! apart from God we are all lost including me! Jesus is the answer people!!!

[@dyr234]

ok ok ok we get it
