Generally I’m not a fan of live recordings but the two LPs I keep going back to are Dance Craze (https://www.discogs.com/Various-Dance-Craze/release/387807) and Donny Hathaway self titled live LP (https://www.discogs.com/Donny-Hathaway-Live/release/1769822)
Killer Peel session from the only band that tried to mix British prog with punk in the late 70s
Johnny Rotten cited this vocalist as an inspiration, and you can hear why.
Also, was Guy Evans (behind the kit on this track) low key one of the best British drummers of his generation?
I would have loved to go to that Specials’ gig. At 12 I would have probably got my head kicked in though.
Not as weird as it was for my mate who used to make beats for her to sing over whilst sat in his tiny Adelaide bedroom!
Same here. I got as far as wearing a Harrington jacket with a badge and buying the records 
oh yeah
Honestly, this entire performance. I’m in awe of these guys in every way - packed MSG, they’re having a blast, switching instruments, and killing it. This is what live music should be, they made that huge arena feel like a club.

One of my fav TT tracks anyhow…that harmonica 
for the cover thread
When I saw the thread title this instantly sprung to mind.
Totally passed me by at the time then picked up a couple of mint Lp’s some years ago. When I put the live album on I was properly wowed by what came out of the speakers
Thanks, have moved
Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) live at the Nakano ‘Sun Plaza’ Tokyo Japan on 27th February 1981 from the Remain in Light Tour
