My initial feelings on seeing The Specials perform were a mix of excitement and anxiety. I was thrilled to be seeing one of my all-time favorite bands, but fearful that due to their veteran status that their energy level would fall short. I feel guilty now for doubting them. The Specials delivered, and more. Club Nokia was packed from the pit to the top of the balcony where I was watching from due to the over capacity GA Standing area below.
