You`re Wondering Now (cut)

One of the best TV concerts I`ve ever seen. Complete with stage invasion, guitarists knocking each other over, Rico and that youngster in his dancing suit. To say the band is on fire is an understatement. There`s anger aimed at the NF, students, racists and the sight of Terry Hall hurling his tambourine at someone in the front row. In my opinion this gig has not dated at all. I`ve played this on Windows media player and it works fine but please comment if you have a problem. There seems to be precious little political vitriol these days in mainstream music, and it`s good to see it again in spades.
My upload speed is capped so please be patient.
Enjoy and share.
