THE SPECIALS LIVE AT GLASTONBURY '09

The Specials are back after 30 years playing live at the recently concluded Glastonbury Music Festival. The Festival was held from June 26 Friday up to June 28 Sunday There have been in between line ups and releases with the other members of Specials but the original line up is what matters most especially now that Terry Hall is back together with John Bradbury and Horace Panter. The only one missing is the man that started everything - Jerry Dammers. Jerry is doing the rounds of the DJ scene and is busy with his other band The Spatial AKA, rumors has it that Jerry is not that happy with the reunion of the band and said that he was cheated. Terry said that the doors are open for him but Horace would rather not talk about it as I remember after watching them on The Jools Holland Show. Well, they have their reasons lets just leave it as it is for now. I was listening to them last night through internet radio at the BBC Radio 6 Glastonbury highlights, man it gave me goosebumps hearing them at their best after all these years. They are fucking good!!!

They played all the songs that we knew from the start and sounded as The Specials should sound like if you get my drift. Everything was awesome, the recording was good and the reception was off the roof. I wish I was there. Their lyrics are still relevant today, do you feel a 2Tone resurgence in the air? Madness is still going strong with a new album and sold out concerts, Bad Manners as well doing the rounds and The Beat. Pauline Black and Ranking Roger are still active in the music scene. Let's wait and see. I hope Paul Weller will do the same with The Jam.

The Specials played on the first day of the festival and as one of the headliners of that day together with Neil Young and Lily Allen. It's the full 58 minute set of the band though there are no track separation on this one. So Once again let's hear it from the 2Tone originators - The Specials.
