This is the Joe Jackson band that I remember seeing live in 1980 Central Park NYC. A great live band and Graham on the bass is completely underrated. As Chris said below "Super tight, sweat and passion"
A command , high energy performance by Joe and his super-tight band! This is what great rock n roll is all about- passion, sweat and phenomenal songs performed with conviction by great musicians! Thanks for posting!
Fantastic....Just started re listening to Joe again and catching up on what I missed...more fool me. What a phenomenal musician he is.Great show this...despite the audience...least said the better!
I think Joe's piano playing has improved to world class, seriously brilliant where he now plays Duke Ellington classics in his live shows. I can say he holds more than a candle to the great piano guys - Elton and Billy for example. He started new wave and that's been retained in his recent style with added sophistication of jazz. His regret was not doing more video clips and cashing in on the MTV era. But Germany's Rockpalast is the perfect archive for any great musician over the past 50 years. Love Rockpalast.
It could be named sophisticated punk but It is far more than that It is a melting pot of rock an' roll blues jazz it swings and sweats in a new kind Feel the bass - lines groupies and admirers of Joe Jackson
This brilliant performance was recorded Friday March 14th 1980 at WDR TV Studios in Cologne Germany during his European 'I'm the Man' tour. I was fortunate to see his 'Night and Day' tour two years later in Calgary, just unbelievably awesome! Cheers from 🇨🇦
@@robertduncombe7684 Funny story about _that_ tour. Steppin' Out was Joe's first #1, & on the strength of that & having a rep as a punk-rocker, he got to open for The Who: at their very last gig in TO. The largest crowd Joe ever played for - but they weren't expecting all the new, experimental stuff he & his band were playing for the N&D tour. The gig was a late addition he was only too glad to accept. He got shouted & thrown beer bottles at the whole time. & he had to fly & play another gig he'd already committed to that same night - in Montréal! Can you imagine?
Two tracks in, & I'm hoping; Not once have I heard the original band do "Look Sharp" with Dave fully cutting loose. Now, this recording really allows us to hear him. He's a guy who doesn't merely hit the drums the bare minimum. His rolls are excellent. He adds accents wherever he can. Okay, "Mad at You" really sucked some of the energy out of the show. I'm tempted to think Joe selected it because he was angry at the tame response this audience is giving him. The crowd finally starts making noise after "One More Time." Joe isn't being very nice though. Other recordings show him yelling at crowds, so they're getting off easily compared to those. Still, it feels like he wants to pick an actual fight. Oh, he shouted at someone before the 40-minute mark. Damn. No drum solo from Dave. Heh. In '04 when the band got back together Joe turned the line "pork-pie hat" in "I'm The Man" to "war in Iraq." It was awesome. 😅
