    Superb and so rare to see footage from one of their final UK live performances.

      It's a pity such little live footage exists from their final months, a really interesting period for the band. The audio of 'Ghost Town' features in the run out of the film, complete with Rico's solo. It sounds superb

    Brilliant! Saw them at the Potternewton Park concert shortly afterwards. I like how they've captured the crowd.

      What a great memory to have. I also like how it's filmed, really captures the time too. Nowadays the concerts you see on television all seem nondescript

      @@MrWheeze It captures it very much as it was back then. Music crowds back then at ska gigs were pretty much like the football crowds of the day. Far more passion than these days.
