[@emilysavidge6369]

RIP Terry Hall. So saddened. Thank you for sharing your music and gift with us all. Such a beautiful blessing and spiritual experience every time I listen or watch live performances 🌟

[@goalltheway-pm8xs]

I still have the tambourine to this day: it hit the guy next to me on the shoulder; grabbed it quick and melted in the crowd.....

[@MrFrampo56]

Yeah, sure you did.

Did he throw because people weren't initially coming on stage? He looked seriously peed off.

Did Terry hall,, exactly represent Coventry: in the regional tambourine throwing championships...1978?

[@kevinbird9194]

Superb. Two tone at its best. There will never be another Terry Hall.

[@markfitch1182]

R.I.P. Terry. Free at last. A tortured life you led but brought so much joy to a generation. Time for some of that old moon stomping. . . . Are you ready!!!

[@emilysavidge6369]

❤❤❤

[@johnpluck6126]

Brilliant drumming!! 😃

[@DR-bk1yj]

Saw them as a kid in London 1980 then saw them multiple times in 00s. Last time was 2016. Easily one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Ska/2 Tone concerts were scary in the UK in the 80s but the adrenaline rush was like nothing I've had since. Legend has it the skingirl in the Fred Perry is still dancing :) R.I.P Terry Hall.

[@jamessawyer3830]

What a band modern kids don't know what they missed out on RIP Terry

I was 12 when the special were in the charts , I remember getting my first pair of Doc Martins and skining the head I remember walking around town feeling super human.

True, Gerry Dammers was such a genius.

We really were! Born in 68' and by 79' my life began

Saw them 6 times at the time and they were the best live band I’ve ever seen; tight, loud and fun.

[@aidankilmartin2521]

Woke up to the terrible news R.I.P Terry ,Thanks for everything SPECIALS !

[@pinball1970]

Man this is just brilliant. Learning the drums to this as a kid, listening for hours. They split and rock music took over for me but this is still great. Terry Hall loses his shit here and throws his tambourine! Never seen it, great quality too.

[@dedelms]

Their voices blend so well...oh my god what a pleasure to hear.

[@musicloverlondon6070]

Wonderful stuff! Devoid of superstar egos and all the fans spontaneously dancing onto the stage. Great music!

[@jamesdond614]

How do you know it was not devoid of egos, you know nothing of the tensions in the background.

Yes, it's a real pleasure to see the kids on the stage with the musiciens. Everyone is happy and alls are together !

REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER!

Thank you!!!!! I had a Two Tone comp that I played to death in high-school. Everytime I hear this track it is a spiritual experience. I had never seen the video component!! Ah...the bittersweet ache of nostalgia...

Is grew up a few roads away from Albany Road, the home of The Specials, and a few roads away from The Selecter. I was 12 when this was happening; I remember the buzz in Cov, at school, my family etc. How I wished I’d been on that stage (albeit I was probably a few years too young!). RIP Terry Hall.

[@DavinderSingh-dx6dk]

Went too see The Specials at the 02 academy, Birmingham, 16 /9 /2021 , every tour I go , favourite midlands group, keep it up guy's, BRILLIANT,

[@stephenconn8661]

Love it, classic Specials 👌

[@philipjohnhartley]

Can't imagine the security allowing this these days, fans on stage, health and safety gone wrong. The Specials were S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Too many thought they were Skinhead group, just listen to the music.

LMFAO @ Terry bashing security for trying to stop people invading the stage at 3.24 and throwing his tambourine at 3.57, that's gotta hurt.

Arnold Rimmer you should’ve seen Lee Brilleaux take it to the bouncers at Ilford Odeon Dr Feelggod, the bouncers wouldn’t let people get up, remember the Odeons were cinemas, great night after Lee sorted them out.
