UB40 - One in Ten - Pinkpop 1981

"One in Ten"

[@briwire138]

I remember singing this song along with my work colleagues when we all went to the pub when we were made redundant in 1981. Sums up that time perfectly.

[@wexjap]

X work colleagues!

[@Mastermind4lyf]

Childhood memories😢😢😢. My dad use yo to jam it every morning before school. 2024 I'm still jamming ❤❤❤

[@chrisscholes]

Yeah, left school in 81 sound track to the time 3 million on the dole .Thatch closed most manufacturing down 😢

[@dariomaiello393]

Pure groove! Cult Song of a Cult Band✨✨✨

[@TheWar4money]

My favourite UB40 hit.

[@renemartin5729]

2021 August 22nd: RIP Brian Travers. I remember this concert very well. And now he's dead.

[@bangurhead4027]

What a great fucking song man!! The drummer has a great fucking voice doesn't he?? Not much has changed since Unemployment Benefit Form 40.....Aka UB40 recorded this back in the heyday '80's!!! 👍

[@RastaSaiyaman]

What HAS changed is the fact that nowadays, there are TWO bands named UB40. - The original band. UB40 - Ali Campbell's solo band. UB40 featuring Ali Campbell. Campbell pulled this move when finding out that the big bucks are in the UB40 name, because as a solo act he barely got any reverence. Needless to say, the two bands do NOT get along terribly well.

[@Franzie2105]

I love this song 💗

[@Aerospacer77]

One of my favorite UB40 songs. The drum fills took forever to figure out.

[@Rasselman-mu3oo]

I will always remember the band who did 'One in ten' and not 'Red red wine'...great...😎

[@KarlDavis-k6y]

Sadly the words are more relevant today than ever! Pistols god save the queen as well, have a listen.

[@mariacarmenbernal9]

Still a classic, still relevant (unfortunately) in the UK in 2015

[@antifugazi]

And now in 2023

[@southey147]

As it is in 2025, unfortunately 😢

[@gdog5032]

I brought this first time around... Still sing it karaoke!! Tip top😅 lol 😆

[@PadisherCreel]

Saw them in Digbeth Civic Hall 81 or 82. This was a critique of the times then, unfortunately in 2020 still valid, in many more countries

[@Bassman94Firenze]

Class Tune.

[@michaelj611]

Ali Campbell sounds the same live in the rain as he does on the albums.

[@hawkeyefire6208]

A band I thought would stay together to keep spreading the message and the reggae music. UB40 Signed Off. Dread times.

[@dazauto1400]

Sad times with Ali now long gone.

[@kittyevans369]

Nothings changed in 2021

[@B3nkeii]

Was this live or playback? Seems too perfect to be live, anyone know?

[@garyworsham9471]

Looks live to me. At the guitar solo at the end, at first the sax is playing over him, then he stops.

[@tyronerodgers]

Totally live

[@paulmitford5189]

Astro-permanently stoned,yet clocked 64 odd years. Ironically the song mentioned chronic heart disease which laid him under the daisies.

[@michavandam]

T w o left-handed guitarists!

[@ricardobeneaux]

cool as fuck

[@riddim3162]

Toen UB40 nog echt goed was en niet van die popi muziek maakte....

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Ja de eerste drie albums waren fantastish maar toen verloren ze dat rauwe geluid. Synthesizers vervingen dat skank gitaar geluid van Ali en Jim ging op die foute Simmons drums spelen.

[@jesusgarcia-cc7od]

that congo player --in the background'

[@roberthelpus]

The Congo is the name of two countries and a river in Africa. A drum from that area would be called Congolese. The gentleman that you are referring to is playing a pair of congas which are of Cuban origin.

[@speedyaraujo840]

is norman hassan

[@dux7dux]

Most boring crowd ever

[@JoeyKillester]

Check out the video of Madness playing at the same gig, crowd are well up for it, maybe because it wasn't raining then!

[@FFM0594]

Because UB40 were considered boring. Now it sounds good but they were so hyped that no-one liked them.

[@johncaruso6268]

lol maybe cuz it was raining?

[@BMW02463]

i was there ,everyone was relaxed and high on cannabis .

[@p.millard557]

@@FFM0594 NOT TRUE. What are you talking about?
