I have only recently found the amazing "skinhead ska" band The Specials and immediately fell in love with them. The problem is that it's quite hard to get any bootlegs on the "common places" so I'm really left with the few recordings found on youtube. Their 70's/early 80's concerts are absolutely amazing. Does anybody here have any concert recordings (audio/video) from the 1978-1981 era? Or any idea where I can find them?

No signs of downloads, but they may be able to point you in the right direction. News also of some official live stuff....

Yes vivalesbootlegs is great but iv found some of the download sites have closed:-(
Unfortunately there are just dead links, but thanks anyway
@ CD - yeah, a lot of the downloads are not available anymore which is a shame.
@ Pittrek - sorry mate, I didn't check the links, but did you try the forum I was telling you about? Surely someone there can point you in the right direction?
