There are not enough superlatives to describe just how good this is. R.I.P Roger. Everett. Saxa

[@chenzenzo]

Top Ranking!❤ Bless! Pick it up! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@markthompson4953]

Ska drummers don't get enough credit for the tempo that have to maintain during a song. What a workout, right ?

[@Danpiper09]

Oh god dam yea! I struggle after just 4 mins let alone 13 mins !! Creds to him. Amazing drummer .

[@JC-zw9vs]

Well it's not as if he's playing four on the floor tho'

[@markthompson4953]

@@JC-zw9vs I hear you. It's not as versatile a style to, say, a Neal Peart or Stewart Copeland. The endurance of speed is what I admire with Ska drumming.

[@JC-zw9vs]

@@markthompson4953 yeah that's what I was thinking of, watch a Police gig from back in 1970s, with Stewart Copeland playing four on the bass drum on a single pedal for nearly every song. Big hitting, and high cymbals too!

[@janmckee7718]

Damn good mechanic as well

[@dharmakate]

Crushed at Roger's untimely passing. But the music will remind me of him forever.

[@acrodave9287]

Rest In Peace Roger, we miss you.

[@1gtd1]

The musicianship on this is world class. Incredible.

[@freedomring757]

And the dancing! And Energy. ⚡️

RIP Roger, the gift of this music gave us will go on forever.

A gem from my youth....such a great song!! RIP Ranking Roger!!!!

FKN TUNE ! BRING BACK THE 80’s I was 7 when got my mum to get this for me ❤ RIP RANKIN xxx

[@STYLISHONE2002]

This crowd is livelier than an EDM concert🎉

[@dynjarren8355]

He was only 56! It was too early. But it’s all in Gods hands. I don’t know why this happens. I hate it when people I admire pass on. Ranking Roger was one those special people. Nobody else like him. A Ska Legend and Icon. Look at the energy he had! He will be missed. It’s like a light going out. And I really like the Police cover in the middle. Sounds great! RIP Rankin Roger

[@stephenroche5107]

Don't be so fucking stupid gods hands he was robbed of life simple god the enemy to life.

R.I.P. Roger Charlery. 🖤 Ranking Roger. (21 February 1963 - 26 March 2019)

[@deletebilderberg]

I was in Roger’s company in the autumn of 2018. He didn’t mention a word of his illness. He was pure class.

[@crnkmnky]

I don't think he knew about it yet...

[@KittyCatFurbabiesMaria1972]

He had 2 surgeries for brain tumours and they were announced in January 2019 and was having treatment for lung cancer , so not sure when he had the surgeries or was diagnosed with the cancer x

[@almageddon4023]

Heaven just inherited a rude boy, RIP Roger!

[@corkandi]

This is epic. From Roger's opening chat to the drum roll, the crowd going mental, Roger's skanking, the changing of the drummers and Junior's chat. Love Mirror in the Bathroom, Love The Beat, Love Ranking Roger. RIP Mr. Entertainer. Jah Bless

[@wbertie2604]

A few gaps along the way, but he kept the essential Beatness of The Beat going for 40 years. Incredible. I saw the RR version half-a-dozen times, and it was always fantastic, and not just as nostalgia, but as good as any band can be.

[@youjoker9647]

@@wbertie2604 indeed. This is an astounding version of what for me is their greatest song.

[@gildedcrows4457]

No way Fuzz Townsend on the Drums! He was my teacher at college. I had a jam with him a few times incredible drummer!

[@chrisgaze6214]

And now he does cars up for a living on Car SOS. No end to his talents lol.

Much love to Rogers family and friends, the beat were the top of their game and the music is timeless and will continue to be passed on to the next generations. Thanks Roger! 💜

[@briangriffin8106]

Grrreat song.

[@susant700]

Yup. I'm absolutely ...stunned. Can't believe Ranking Roger has left us too early. I fell in love with Roger, Dave Wakeling and The English Beat back in the early 1980's. Two of my first "musician crushes". And .. I still love them both; and the band. Have had the opportunity to see them in concert 5 times now. This band's music: will live on forever. I still get chills when I listen to Mirror in the bathroom .. and other songs. So sad to hear about Roger and the health issues he had been dealing with. He seemed like such a cool, fun guy. He was effortlessly "cool" on stage. I would have been a roadie for the band; if they had let me. With or without ... a paycheck. God Speed ... Ranking Roger. Your fans will always love you. Always !

[@michellerjackson5776]

Susan~ Well said. My Sister's name is Susan( and fellow Beat fan since our High School years)Miss those 80's days. Been to many concerts of my dreams- however, I didn't catch RR or The E B

I'm punk rock the damned to be precise but it all went hand in hand with ska &reggae all our hero's are fuckin dropping off, now alarm bells ring that all great things sooner or later sadly come to an end and we cling to these great memories of our youth so farewell ranking you were a legend even to us punks... lol RIP

[@youjoker9647]

That's what happens, people die. Still, thanks to YT for all it's faults we get to hear stuff like this that before we'd never see unless we were there. This is an amazing performance

[@stephenmccoy898]

@Tyler Vsd1337 I never said that you fuckin prick I have hundreds of vinyl all sorts of bands of which I love I was just saying that the damned are my favourite I'm sure I've forgotten more than you know ya fuckin moron even to make that statement to me is sad.. What's your age???? Because you sound to me like your a juvenile with your immature response to me.. Don't bother replying back pal I'm not gonna get into it with you

I saw English beat a couple of months ago, Roger wasn't there, and it was great. But nothing like this. He had that fire. A true legend to be missed.

What a jam. Even got The Glorious OM Riff in there. Great band.

[@getinthevantim]

I know ! That blew me away too. I agree though, a fantastic band.

[@martinhardy5462]

I thought I was imagining it at first! Saw Steve Hillage join them on The Glade stage at Glastonbury. Two of my favourite artists together what a moment!

[@MrDickyBingo]

@@martinhardy5462 nice!! I've been playing 'Green' since 1982 when I first heard it. The drummer Joe Blocker has been a hero ever since.

[@bradfordpauler2538]

​@getinthevantim most people I don't guess would've known the riff by Gong and Steve Hillage. I see several of yall like Gong AND The Beat. Two great bands you wouldn't expect to year in the same sentence or song!

[@bradfordpauler2538]

​@MrDickyBingo wow I heard that too, but could it have been a coincidence? A similar riff! It's a pretty unique riff so I'm think it IS the same riff they're playing. At the same time, that riff could almost be played without having heard it before because the riff is only about 4 notes, but whatever, both totally different bands, the Beat, and Gong are great!
