RIP Terry Hall…

[@Mooli]

Amazing as always! Obviously Sad Jerry, Brad, Roddy and Neville are missing, but the existing members are brilliant, and the replacements are all excellent.

[@ivorykhan159]

So ahead they were with their messaging. I want to thank that guy who turned me on to the Specials 40 years ago. It was like yesterday.

Not the same without brad on the sticks 🥲

[@helenbostock2350]

wow rat race. i laugh because it bring me down to eath ha ha ha ha

[@Canosa612]

I get very sentimental not seeing the original band members on stage. This is good but it does not feel the same.

[@javierpizano3374]

Quien lo diría el baterista es el de libertines

[@shanejohnson7603]

John Bradbury had a style that was just made for the specials... idiosyncratic and very vocal led phrasing with his double time snapping rim clicks and timbale like smashes.. this ain't the same... it's more like rock drumming with the odd timbale thrown in... and I know his job isn't to imitate JB...it just doesn't sit right with the flow... when john died...part of the specials sound died with him... period 🏁😎

[@TheMusicalElitist]

In your opinion.

[@madmar10]

Totally Agree..... Even the guitar work.. Doesn't sound close to roddy. The specials are Over. No jerry, no roddy..... Neville, terry and John dead...... Only lynval and hora e stays..... No rico.... What else to say

[@shanejohnson7603]

@madmar10 Exactly...but at least they can be proud of being one of the greatest bands this country has seen

[@TheMusicalElitist]

@@madmar10 Before you spout anymore nonsense, learn to type. You illiterate melt.

[@AthelstanEngland]

Sorry but lost the energy without Brad and Roddy.... el Tel seems to be going through the motions too. Go back and watch this from 2009 reunion by comparison.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Who asked you?

[@AthelstanEngland]

@@TheMusicalElitist first time on the Internet old bean?

[@TheMusicalElitist]

@@AthelstanEngland I assure you I'm younger than you, creep.

[@AthelstanEngland]

@@TheMusicalElitist lol oh I don't doubt it!!

[@TheMusicalElitist]

@@AthelstanEngland Then off you f*ck, boomer.

[@honourethefire5794]

great track but this is not the specials theres only 3 of three of them sad really & most of the crowd trying to relive their youth etc

[@LeninVieira]

And whats the problem? Just because otherse members dont want to be in the band (except rhe drummer, who past away) they have to stop playing or change their name. Dont be like that. Lets apreciate them while we still can

[@honourethefire5794]

well without those members of the band they are the specials in Name Only! it's not the specials they should be called Terry Hall's specials etc what you don't understand about all that I don't know oh well never mind

[@theselector4733]

It's regrettable that not ALL the original members are there, but it's still great that the some are. They sound pretty good regardless. No of us are getting any younger so i think it's awesome we can enjoy them performing for as long as possible. I was only 10 yrs old when they were big in the late 70's so am grateful that i got the chance to see them live.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

What a miserable moron you are. Go away.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

@@honourethefire5794 It's a shame you exist.

[@CG31Travel]

Craddock has absolutely no stage presence and his guitar parts on this are drab - he literally relies on effects pedals and has no unique style... sorely missing Roddy Radiation's energy and class guitar riffs/solos. They're so flat without Rod and Nev!

[@MrToothy01]

That's mods for you.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

He's still better than you.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

@@MrToothy01 And could you do better?
