I remember watching it that night. The Specials and The Selecter were also on. It was the talk of the playground the following day - Two Tone had arrived!
I remember watching it, their first hit, it was one of those rare occasions when you know something special is happening, something new and fresh. Very talented.
I saw them a few years ago in Stuttgart, south Germany, and Graham McPherson said to the audience after the first applause „It‘s so good to be back in México!“
Saw them first on "Tiswas", Saturday morning kids show in the UK at . "One Step Beyond"......I have never left them. 13/14 years old.............OH YES.
After watching Madness performing OSB on TOTP every one of my mates wanted to be Chas Smash at school the next day "Ska had come to town" What a great memory thanks uploader 😊👍
I'm a black guy heavy in roots reggae and lovers rock ,I listen and watch the dance to madness one step beyond ,so clever so british and it makes me smile every time
@@tonyivey5399 you’ve lived Tony there was a vibe back then fairground music mixed with ska and imagination and those 7 guys gave prince buster a lot of respect as Suggs once said to me there wouldn’t be no madness if it weren’t for him and all those classic blue beat tunes and more I’m glad I lived it ✊✊✊✊✊
This is excellent, although suggs gets the credit for being the main singer, the band is not the same without Chas smash, especially in their early days. Chas is the main nutty dancer. Those earlier gigs and concerts wouldn't be the same without his nutty dancing (and chanting) they were brilliant in late 1979 and also in 1980. Truly, one of the best bands ever. (Along with the Specials)
They (public, crowd) took some time to wake up to Madness back then, they didn’t realise what the lads were all about. It was ‘The Prince’ in 79’ that woke up this little 9 yr old, I was obsessed ever since 👌🏻🇬🇧 ‘One step beyond’ when it first came on Top of the Pops done my old Dads head in, he made me turn it down, or the Tv was getting switched off 😂
I still say they were all mad as a box of frogs (well, they do call themselves 'Madness'), but absolutely brilliant too, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
One of the greatest tunes of a decade and the audience can't be bothered.
From a much earlier decade than this show, though. (It's a cover)
The only band I ever saw who didn't need drugs
Их и так не хило прёт 👍😜
Only lots of echo
Haaaaaaaaaaa!
You or them?
@@alexthomson7465 them I don't do drugs 😂
The completely uninterested reaction of the audience is priceless.
They don't get this then new music phononem. I was 11yrs old, I absolutely loved them. Great fun music.😀😀😀😀
@@carolecochrane8173 Wow! Thanks for sharing that. I was born in 1968. It was a different time.
compare to czcams.com/video/rt6Qhhytml8/video.html
My thoughts exactly where did they get them from
Ahead of their time
SKA MUSIC IS THE BEST! Everyone dancing to their own rhythm !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

2nd hit? The Prince was definitely first.
@@stewartheywood7239 Yes, he probably doesn't realise that Prince Buster did One step beyond in the 60's first either. It is hardley new and fresh.
it was a great time. fresh on the heels of punk. so much change and optimism.
❤ madness takes me back to my teens brilliant amazing group love em still looking fit suggs
This madness is better than the later madness.
Great then and great now.
For me 79 was the year for good music. 79 till 83 the best.
Totally agree.
Best comment on here.
I,ve always said that. 79-83
Suddenly I feel quite old. Remember watching this performance as a 9 year old kid. Great memories
I've never seen this version, absolutely brilliant and the TOTP producers must have hated it! 😂😂😂
Haha yeah, I feel like this might have been the first time TOTP banned them.
I saw them a few years ago in Stuttgart, south Germany, and Graham McPherson said to the audience after the first applause „It‘s so good to be back in México!“
Saw them first on "Tiswas", Saturday morning kids show in the UK at . "One Step Beyond"......I have never left them. 13/14 years old.............OH YES.
I turned 58 last week....and I STILL can't listen to this music without the urge to SKANK my arse off!🕺😎
Me too man ! I am 59 now..
Gwan Lance my son, let's ave it! No age too great to enjoy this masterpiece to the full!
Best documentary Camden story crew amazing
that nutty dance is just out there - love it
This is madness!
Hi, Richie, England style find, found,. Thank's ...!
13 years ols in 1979 heard Madness for the first time still only band for me 👍
🤪🤪🤪
I used to dance like that even before madness ,,then went onto hip hop ,,now I'm on a list for a hip op 🥴
La audiencia aún no estaba preparada para esta música "del futuro"...
A friend went to sing this at karaoke night but forgot the words. 😎
What?? 😂
I love madnesss
I wish I was a teen in England to witness madness and the Ska and punk bands.... brilliant tune !
Couldn’t possibly have been miming in this clip😂😂
Going to see them this autumn should be a great night
Canterbury 79. Fucking awesome...I was a kid.x
After watching Madness performing OSB on TOTP every one of my mates wanted to be Chas Smash at school the next day "Ska had come to town"
What a great memory thanks uploader 😊👍
hillarious that they walk off around the set, not caring that it obvious its not live
The best song ever✨⭐🌞🌈☀️🌅🌟❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🌎
Brilliant.. I was 18 in 1979
Happy days 🎶🎵👍😁
old git, i was 12 😁
Saw them again in about 2018 and still the best! Thought el thommo was going to have a heart attack but he kept going! Amazing!
Syncopation, instrumentation, not overdone, best uplifting momentum.
Love madness.xx
Good.
One step high!
Brilliant
This was a starter for awesomeness,
Top band ever.
Love madness,
1 month shy of 40 years old...where did that time go and can I have it all back!
Tell me about it, me 1971. 40 flew.
Love this song
I used to practice the dance in my bedroom,the album cover had all the moves on the back, never quite looked as cool as Cathal Smyth but I was only 8
Just sublime..
3xelente música me encanta......👏👏👏👍
Ska was fun !
That Chas Smash has got some serious moves..
One step beyond!!
Brilliantly 'raw'. One of the best bands live!. Nuff said.
Bloody Brilliant.
COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember this going out!
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs 💪🏼😁
First record I ever brought love it❤ even named my son after one of the members who is no longer in the group ❤
So damn great
The audience were not aware that they were in the presence of greatness 🤦♀
Great fun.
J adore ❤❤❤
I like the way the saxophone played on after it was removed from the mouth. 😉
Still love them
La mejor rola para abrir mi reventón que comience la fiesta
Andamos como chapulines
En ese año me case y estaba de estreno está genial banda
Моя молодость Madness....
И моя))) До сих пор обожаю. Привет из СПб!
ONE... STEP... BEYOND!!!!!
These are from another planet
Chas Smash!
Remember in back the the future 2 when Michael J Fox was on stage and started to play a riff.......this gives me that same feeling.
a muy buena rola aya por los 80s
Cuando me ponía alegre en 1981 con unas gracielas chulada todo pa delante nada hacia tras
💯
ska ska my childhood never be another one step beyond ...
Good old TOTP where everything is mimed and nothing is plugged in!!!
2023 and still hear this 😅👍🏻
Un paso adelante Venezuela.
Once again The Audience is in a Coma...Madness too cool for TOTP
It was a bit of a comedy act though wasn't it? If they'd have looked more serious the audience might have taken them seriously.
Quality 👍
Legends 🇦🇺
Gotta love SAX 👀🍿
If you can't move to this you are musically dead...
RIP Prince Buster
J’ai dansé la dessus 😂😂😂😂🎉❤
Naturally fun
El público terribles zombis
Who said white men can't Chaz was 1 of the best I ever seen
The audience are on sedatives!
Especially for such a rocking tune!
I'm a black guy heavy in roots reggae and lovers rock ,I listen and watch the dance to madness one step beyond ,so clever so british and it makes me smile every time
@@tonyivey5399 you’ve lived Tony there was a vibe back then fairground music mixed with ska and imagination and those 7 guys gave prince buster a lot of respect as Suggs once said to me there wouldn’t be no madness if it weren’t for him and all those classic blue beat tunes and more I’m glad I lived it ✊✊✊✊✊

‘One step beyond’ when it first came on Top of the Pops done my old Dads head in, he made me turn it down, or the Tv was getting switched off 😂
after my punk period i heard this and became ska
Jesus - forty-four years ago. FORTY FOUR!!!!
45 now, mate.
I still say they were all mad as a box of frogs (well, they do call themselves 'Madness'), but absolutely brilliant too, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Crushing out on this group since 1979
I was seven when this happened... mind you though I was 21 when the Prodigy happened...love dove's anyone...
The audience must’ve gotten a strong dose of lithium
fuckin yessssss
They where taking the piss because top of the pops insisted on them using a prerecorded track, one of the many things you learn from watching NMTBC
A dark time for actual music.
➕🎤😎
El público super animado
The crowd are boring. How can you not dance to this?!
The crowd ... Idiots ?
The only track missing from The Blues Brothers.
They left Woody alone in the scenario...
An easy day out for Suggs !
Yep, rare for a singer not to sing on TOTP!
Madness IS Primarsy in Non-Jamaican Ska!
Audience are dead peeps ffs jeeeeeeeeeeeeze whats not to like
I know, they clearly had their sleeping pills
