I had completely forgotten about the whole crowd moving back and forth during the "red alert"--truly an incredible image from that night (and The Shat deserves all the glory for his hammy acting in Trek!). And you make a great point about The Skatalites--it was the real deal back then (RIP Tommy and Roland). <br /><br />If we polled everyone who was active at some point in the 90s NYC ska scene (in a band, writing a zine, or spinning ska on the radio), I bet most of them were at The Ritz that night...<br /><br />I'm going to try to find those reels tonight!<br /><br />SteveSteve from Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074565580429334218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744444020349998004.post-33869670994107041152010-03-08T12:39:33.480-05:002010-03-08T12:39:33.480-05:00Steve,

The most amazing part of the night for me was standing at the back and watching that entire mass of 2K+ ska fans running left to right during "William Shatner." Unbelieveable. It was also the first time many of us ever had a chance to see the Skatalites, and I'm talking THE guys: McCook, Alphonso, Brevette, Knibb. The energy from that one night definitely powered the whole scene for a good couple of years. <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you have on the camera.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042504003913851409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744444020349998004.post-11491526948458902542010-03-06T17:50:08.644-05:002010-03-06T17:50:08.644-05:00That was a great show.
