I'm 53..was bang into 2 tone as a teenager...The Selecter are still one of the very best bands I've ever seen live.Pauline and Gaps still rock any venue..Missing Words..Too Much Pressure..as relevant in 2022 as it was in the early 80's...The best ska band bar none..and that is no disrespect to the wonderful Specials..both bands resonated with a council estate kid from Essex..

Hammersmith Odeon, saw them open for Ian Dury and the Blockheads, I yelled out "hit me with your rhythm stick... when everyone else was quietly waiting for the concert... differences between a concert in the USA and English scenes I guess... everyone looked at me like I was nuts and scowled and Dury even said something like.. Is this going to be an issue... I swear to GOD! I was like is this the royal Philharmonic here? I never felt so out of place...

Saw the Selecter live in 2004. They were excellent. Pauline said at the gig this was her favourite Selecter song.Remember drunkenly asking for her autograph and she told me to buy it on e-bay. Then she laughed and signed my flier. Great gig and my favourite band on the 80's

I was a young teenager when 2Tone broke. I loved the Selecter and the Specials and have never stopped loving their songs and the image. I liked Madness, the Beat and Bad Manners too, but not to this extent. Always wanted a fender bass like Charley’s. A few years ago I started a ska cover band and we were fortunate enough to play gigs at the Hootananny, including support slots to Pauline Black one night and Bad Manners another.

1981 for me. Had never heard of Ska until someone played the "Dance Craze" album at a party (piss up). I'm in my 60's now and still singing along with all the tracks. Had it on vinyl, then cassette, then CD. It's now on my 'Puter as a WAV file. Cheers Brutha!!!

@@s.e.wagger3888 You may have been listening to SKA Music long B4 you realize. Millie Smalls version of My Boy Lollipop '63 and Desmond Decker's Israelites. But I did get to see the movie Dance Craze in a theater at a midnight showing. When have you ever seen people dancing in the movie theater.? Over the years I have become friends with English Beat and Bad Manners. I'll fill you in if you want. The 2tone scene in NYC was great. Toasters, Urban Blight and so many others. I highly recommend a band out of the Boston area called Bim Skala Bim. I got lots of stories about SKA, even met the Satellites after seeing them in concert. Look for mixed SKA CD's, one I picked up is called SKA for SKA's sake, great mix. The O. C. Supertones are great too. So put on your dancing shoes and Lip Up Fatty!!!

Best thing about ska and two-tone is that it doesn't age. My stepdad brought me up on ska so I'm a 23 year old girl begging for concert tickets every christmas for The Specials, The Selector, Madness, The Beat and Bad Manners. Last year I got The Specials. This year I got The Selector. Just one week to wait to see these guys! (again!)

Saw them in NYC (guessing 1979 maybe 1980 age 16) at a small venue around 42nd street. A nerd friend got the tickets, I had never heard them before, that was a great concert! I was at the stage looking up at Pauline rock out. Got to love chicks who can dance and rock! Too bad they didn't stay around long at the time. I doubt I'd like them now that they are old and I want to keep those youth memories alive. BTW great video at a time when most bands made crap vidoes! Thanks for sharing it with us.
