Joe's bands best album. So raw. Love it

There is rarely musiciens like j.j. He's keen on keyboards.

2024, and I'm *STILL* listening to this version!

La Da Dad Dada! To NYC of the past ❤️

seen Joe and the boys at the bottom line in nyc. outstanding!!

Amazing.

I like your version so much more

Oh my...... hehehehe 🙃

🙌

👏

Without doubt the best cover of this song I have listened too. Nailed the vocals. Will follow with interest.

Best Joe Jackson song ever in my opinion

He re‐invents himself constantly, pure genius.

Joe Jackson is an awfully fine artist. Just wonderful.

Lol , love it

I'm Pretty Thankful That I Saw Joe's Jackson First USA Performance April 1979 Asbury Park And He's Raised The Bar With Every Record And Your Since! Plus Some Pretty Much Needed Fashion Tips Too!

The unexpected changes to the melody are nice!

Punk as f... Marra It's a song that uses intensity as it's backbone to fully stand up. The chords are standard, the melody is sweetly clean, and the words, though thought-provoking, are in basic simple English, but it's doing my head in on how to do an acoustic guitar, buskers version of it. I'm OK with verse 1.` Respect!

This is music, so raw und pure, yet also so sublime. I love the expressed emotions.

I saw him that year in Colorado! 💙

Trop bon .j'ai connu en 86 à 15 ans et l'ai toujours écouté, et je ne m'en lasserai jamais. Mais je kiffe grave ton interprétation.

Maravillosa canción

wish i could like this multiple times

Nice!

Easily two of his most underrated songs as it's best. Excellent performance.

Thank you so much. Hometown is a special song for me. I don't know why, it just is.

Muy bien

Second song, Number 2, begins at about 6:21.

Very nice. And btw your background of The Police, Stevie Ray and Angus AC/DC...awesome!

Wonderful

two of the most beautiful songs ever written

damn this is cool

Love this ❤️❤️

A truly sublime songwriter and performer

Great blast from the past- I'm actually a relative doing some family research. Bob Flomer is a cousin of mine. Passing this along to some other relatives as well. Thanks Ian!

Judging from the comments, it seems that I’m the only one who HATES this version. It takes away the grit & grind of urban life so beautifully evoked in the original version. It sounds more like elevator music. Hey, I absolutely LOVE Joe Jackson, but this version stinks.

Holy Smokes! Dude, that was fantastic! I hope you're still making music.

It took KZbin 12 1/2 years to put this in front of me. Haha. Nice job, love it!

Is this the real band xtc or a good cover of this great song?

Love the song. Hate the surgery. No reason for it. A very distinguished man. Act your age

O' I forgot the Massenburg. Then any Song you produce will Sing like a Record!

This song needs a better Mastering. Fairchild Compressor, Pultech EQ, Maybe a Curb Bender, Abby Road? and a Mercury Tube Enhancer for Vocals. . Yes, &'d Very Good Engineer.

Ian, did Mark compose the Lyric's?

Genius

I can't get over how talented this guy is !

Each day I have to spend, is awaken by be my number two as a ring on my phone... Love you so much, Joe.

You're still the greatest pianist I 've heard in my life...❤️

WOW!

This is what inspired me to do my version of Joe's great song. I consider it a modern standard. Any version brings me chills especially when Joe's behind it!
