Originally broadcast on MTV. Taken from a VHS video tape from 1984, the quality is a bit dodgy but that's to be expected. I am making no profit from this video, it's just for love of the band.
How a bunch of guys from working class backgrounds, somewhat troubled youth, some w criminal records banded together to make such utterly ambitious music with complex arrangements and poignant lyrics and do so for so long and have so many hit records is really one for the history books and is a testament to their hard work, vision and creativity. Pure class.

Bedders is such a great bass player. It always seems to go unnoticed.

You can see how Carl is the de facto leader here as Barson's impending departure was just around the corner...

The quality of this is exceptional. You must have the best preserved VHS tapes in the world. Good effort.

Just saw the boys live for the 1st time since 1998. Such an amazing show!

I love it when Madness are more experimental on stage ( like this footage) rather than doing yet another greatest hits set.

Thanks for putting up this great memory from my youth. Stayed up late to watch this on MTV. My family didn't have a video recorder, so I did an audio recording of it on a cassette tape. Still have it to this day!

I taped this off of MTV onto VHS in 1985 or so and watched it over and over. I got rid of the tape when VHS became a dead format. Thank you for allowing me to relive my high school years as a Madness fan.

Amazing video. Thank you for taking the time to share your recording with us. Only wish Barso was still in the band during this era, I would have loved to see him in interviews

This is a period of the band I know the least about, and I'm really impressed with the live performance and how the songs and sound were expanding in so many interesting directions. Having said that, the adrenalin rush when One Step Beyond kicks off in the early footage is incredible. Thanks very much for uploading.

I think most british 80s youth grew up to madness, i was one of them youths, i am in my 30s now and still they’re one of my favourite bands ever.

I started listening to madness as a kid born in 89 and from parents in the 60's onwards. My twin sons born in 2015 now listen to them and absolutely love the energy and soul of the music and dance around the car whilst reciting the lyrics. Their teachers at school are lost between the skar music and game shooting we do of a weekend
