UB40: Red Red Wine Tour
Event Date: Sunday, August 11, 2024 at 8:00 pm

The ultra Homogenized " Red Red Wine " and subsequent airplay ,really painted them into a narrow corner-----yet their other material is absolutely brilliant and entirely relevant to this day**888

Alright a double header --- the English Beats cover of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles " Tears of a Clown " is One of my all time favorite Ska tunes . **** ( Did you know that in the UK ---They simply go by the name The Beat , the English moniker was only added later for the US market , probably due to publishing rights and royalties , all the UK Imports are simply labeled " The Beat " )

JB: You throe me into a Rabbits Hole with you E. Beat reference , so let the games begin , so to speak . *****

Saw The Beat at Hard Rock in Orlando last year and it was a good show, though I would prefer them in a smaller setting without seats. Plaza Live would be perfect. They played with Bad Manners in Cocoa Beach years ago and it was incredible.

-------------------------
I was right.

I saw that show with Bad Manners in Ft Lauderdale. Buster Bloodvessel and in Leopard print ska ska skaing around. Laughed and danced. Lip up fatty!

Good ska shows are hard to beat.



-------------------------
I was right.

I was at the Bad manners E.Beat show in CB. I remember having to duck my head as we were so jammed up against that tiny venue's stage so I wouldn't get poked by the trombone player.

UB40 doesn't do anything for me, but English Beat?! Oh yeah.
