Ending The Year With Style

The Specials Live at BBC 6 Maida Vale Studios 12-12-12

BBC Radio DJ and great music presenter Steve Lamacq featured The legendary British band The Specials. The band played an hour long set  with hits from their fist and second albums. Terry with his poker face is obviously enjoying the set and having fun with the fans and audience inside the studio. The audio file includes a pre show interview with Terry Hall and John Bradbury followed by a set of Trojan hits to warm up the  listeners and the live audience. Then came the Specials live set starting with a cover of The Rex Garvin and The Mighty Cravers' "Sock It To 'EM JB" and finishing the gig with "Too Much Too Young". Not present in the concert is co-front man Neville Staples. The Specials truly sounded great and never lost their form. You know the drill. Call your mates, bring out the cases of  beer, play this loud and dance!
