Madness Live At Finsbury Park
Madness: Live At Finsbury Park ABC2/21
Monday, 08 October 2007 - 9:00pm
Madness were one of the most prominent bands of the late 1970s and as their career progressed the band moved away from ska and closer towards more conventional pop music.
They achieved most of their success in the 1980s spending 214 weeks on the
UK singles charts over the course of the decade - a record.
In early 1992, It Must Be Love was re-released and reached number 6 in the
UK singles chart. Following that, the singles compilation Divine Madness was
released and peaked at number 1 in the album charts. Madness then
announced plans for a reunion concert, Madstock!, which was held at
Finsbury Park, London on August 8 and 9 of that year. The original lineup
was reunited, performing together for the first time since Mike Barson left the
band in 1984. Over 75,000 fans attended the weekend festival and saw the
band perform all their hits including One Step Beyond, It Must Be Love, Our
House, Baggy Trousers and The Sun And The Rain.
