Madness - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: Rock Hour, Dominion Theatre, London, Britain, 3-2-1983

I've posted two volumes of Madness performing for the BBC in recent weeks. Here's a third one. There are more coming.

This concert took place around what was arguably the band's commercial peak, thanks mostly to the song "Our House," which was a Top Five hit in Britain, and the band's only significant hit in the US.

I believe this concert remains unreleased. That said, the sound quality is excellent.

There's not much else to say. It's a great summary of the band's best songs up till that point, with lots of hits but no big surprises.

 This concert is 58 minutes long.

I couldn't find any really good color photos of the band from 1983. This one is from an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" in April 1984.
