most people just didnt understand the mix of music back in the this is funky and punky as hell!

1987 was a great year. It flew by so fast and I still remember 1987 so fondly. Great music, no cell phones, the internet was still for researchers trying to share data...good times. Better times.

That Bond Electraglide that Mick is playing is absolutely gorgeous!

I wish I was old enough and independent enough to have seen them back then. I had been a fan since I was 14 years old.

Such an underrated band. I think critics and maybe old Clash fans couldn't quite wrap their head around the idea of Mick Jones fronting a dub/raver band. Plus, I think B.A.D.'s real brilliance didn't translate to the recorded medium. They were a party band.

Thanks for posting John. Saw BAD in Newcastle in 86 and 88 and, to this day, they were 2 of the best gigs I've ever seen. The atmosphere was joyous - such a party. Even the reformation tour in 2011 was spectacular. As so many people have said - one of the most underrated British bands ever.

[steve-bkqd]

[gerardbramwell]

Best live one out there ran home from the boozer to see this 😂

[kevinbutler]

I remember recording this on VHS and watching it back endlessly, why were they never this dangerous on record???

[michaeltb]

The band was on fire and never sounded better. This is truly incredible.

[iansimpson]

[paulmichaelides]

Great music from a very talented creative band .

[theenglishman]

I was at this - right at the front - it was film at Teddington Lock Studios

[stephenbradley]

Thanks for posting this, I remember recording this off the tv back in the day

[georgemorrison]

I saw them live in Edinburgh it was completely mental. Mad looking people in the crowd. Jumping into each other. 🤪🤪🤪🤪.

Marvelous John Heston! It's GOLD.
