I was just a bit too young to go see The Specials, but I'm proud to say that I altered my drivers permit so I could see what turned out to be (I think) the final show of Fun Boy Three at the Ritz in New York in 1983. Though I don't remember too much about the show and I think I went primarily because of their connection to The Specials. I didn't really keep up with Terry Hall's 90s and 00s output, but I've always loved Waiting and the first Colourfield album (and ep) and never sound dated (at least to these ears.) So here's a couple mixtapes featuring The Fun Boy Three and Colourfield as well as some of Terry's later work.

Nice, I've just recently discovered some of the work he's done with the Dub Pistols. Great tunes.
Check out Terry Hall & Mushtaq - The Hour Of Two Lights from 2003. It's one of his best records.
@anonymous and solotoo,
I've heard about the Mushtaq stuff, but I really should check it out. I'll also have to check out his work with the Dub Pistols - I thought he just did 1-2 songs with them.
