I've seen The English Beat twice, but both before Ranking Roger passed away.  Haven't had the heart to listen to them again.

They played at the Santa Cruz Beach boardwalk on a bandstand facing out over the ocean, with The Specials - it was a great Ska night.

The first time, I saw the Beat with The Plimsouls, a little-known group with a couple of hits and exposure for the song "A Million Miles Away" from the movie "Valley Girl". I'd seen them back in 1984 and was amazed at the show they put on.
