Madness at Madstock is a no-frills, nothing-fancy record of the bands 1998 open-air concert in Londons Finsbury Park, which was attended by 75,000 people. Madness brought to Two-Tone an ebullient laddish sound that owed much to the suburban hi-jinks of the Kinks in their heyday, as well as a cheeky brassiness that was not just a matter of a good horn section. This concert celebrates both the bands reunion after a long split & the sheer good spirits that went with the occasion, the band dance, the audience dance & everyone jumps up & down, because thats what you do when Madness play. After a brief introduction with some home-movie touches like a trip to the tailor, we are treated to a selection of Madness standards including House of Fun, Night Boat to Cairo & Baggy Trousers, as well as slightly odder items such as a version of some key themes from Swan Lake!
