Joan Armatrading live | Rockpalast | 1980

[@markwyatt5377]

Listening to Joan's music has to be one of the greatest joys in life. Thanks for the beautiful post.

Daniel Craig was asked by Steven Colbert: "You get one song only to listen to for the rest of your life. What is it?" Answer: "Love and Affection by Joan Armatrading". Hell yeah, James F. Bond!

The first time I heard this I was living in a little tent in Alaska in the late 70's - it was on the radio, playing from some nightclub and it sounded much like this show. An excellent band backing up an amazing, powerful talent. I was enthralled, and still am.

[@andyreynish1418]

Band is the best.

[@jaxareback311]

An absolute living legend..I fear there is a generation laying in wait for an introduction to one of our finest

[@kiereluurs1243]

I fear the current generation is lost to the bang-bang-bang copy-paste yo-un 'things' (don't call it music).

[@markmcnicholas9475]

Let’m find their way. Quality never dies.

[@mobsiesixsixsix9785]

@@kiereluurs1243 It's not the generation. The music industry has moved away from paying for bands. So it's hard to get a start. Generalising helps nobody. Play them something good. They're human too.

This lovely lady has recorded so many beautiful songs. Saw her in concert many ago, a lovely evening listening to her wonderful music 🎶

[@ANTHONYCUSHEN]

It is the profound way our songstress utters 'THANK YOU' on Love and Affection. Sweet and profound. M and I used to hold closer 😀

[@Mychie3]

so many cool songs and tunes the woman just oozes brilliance what a player love love love Joanie.

[@CherieMurphy-Bohmer]

My twin sons grew up listening to her as I played her music. They still do and they are 36 years old now!

[@lillianmorgan183]

Joan, she reaches into my heart and always will. God Bless You Beautiful.

[@TheVinorosso09]

I saw Joan in May 1980 at the start of her tour in Munich and was very impressed because I didn't know her before. But when I was in London in August 1980, I was lucky enough to enjoy Joan again at the end of the same tour.

[@xvandenberg]

She's the best, Joan!

[@JYoung-nq1ty]

She is a power house! Soul Sista thru and thru! Thank you Joan.

[@jenn280]

Thank you for posting. Another woman of super accomplishment; why isn't Joan Armatrading a household name? I don't know.

[@peterqvarnstrom45]

Came home from pub, 1982. Had sat the video recorder on to Rock from Germany. There she was JOAN ARMATRDING.

[@chris62tt]

Ich bin so froh, dabei gewesen zu sein😊 (so happy to have been there)

[@AndyMangele]

I was around 16 years at the time - and I remember it vividly! 👍

[@phaarqueue4876]

Phaark me this is so phaarken awesome my Gard....True Blue Stole my Heart, well Miss Armatrading you stole my heart with your Amazing music, voice, lyrics, talent, presence.....!!!!

[@poetaernesto]

Amazing! Joan Armatrading is great. Thanks for share. 😊🎵👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@pateris]

Saw her about 1982 in Strasbourg, we were about 200 people in the venue, and it was brilliant…

[@kiereluurs1243]

Some songs are real story telling. Like ' Must be going', I am listening to now. Good musicians too. 'Blast from the past'. I still have the LP.

[@billmavin6203]

This week, I was watching a TV network show called "Irrational".One of the lead characters rocked a Joan Armatrading tee shirt. Weird but good.

[@kiereluurs1243]

Such a good concert. Introduced me to immersive songs like 'Stole my heart' and 'Must be going'. I love the 2 guitars during the solo of 'Stole my heart'.

[@ulichristine3246]

What a performance.

[@quesacofil2b]

💗 Formidable Joan !! 🤩

[@stephanehuot9893]

From 1970 to 1990 Ovation guitars rule the acoustic guitar world. Joan played them as many major artists Btw what a great show !.

[@paulocastro8385]

Que voz !! Nunca tinha ouvido, sensacional !!!

[@mvs58]

A fantastic concert and what a great band

[@enricognudi8859]

WHAHAT?!!

[@truttman]

She had to have been an influence on Tracy Chapman. I hear of lot of this person's style in Tracy Chapman's music.

[@IndigoJo]

They are both Black and female and play guitar, that's it. Tracy Chapman is much more folky and more political, none of the funk edge Joan Armatrading has.

[@stephtro1]

She came long before Tracy.

[@peterqvarnstrom45]

@@stephtro1 You cant look at them as that. Joan Armatrading is so much better, with a long record standing, one after one, so great. Tracy?? One song???

[@andyreynish1418]

Down to zero .fall at my door.

[@alaskandar]

4:17 the video editor threw somehting in the bin 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@boogibop2172]

Please someone tell me who those great musicians on stage were?? Thanks!!

[@aboutmusicvideos]

It could be these, but I'm not completely sure. Please check. Joan Armatrading - Voc/Guit Bill Bodine - Bass Richie Hayward - Drums/Voc Rick Hirsch - Guit/Voc Dick Sims - Keyb/Voc Richard Belke - Guit

[@kiereluurs1243]

There's is an introduction around 27:00.

[@TonySchopp]

It’s a spectacular backing band. Their quest to become the polished sidemen they became was realized in an era that may never repeat itself again and for anyone who recognizes the level of interplay that is on display here, good for you. They all check their ego and accompany Joan Armatrading with deft warmth and respect. This is a clinic in what is required to be ready for prime time. All these players came up the ranks by being on stage with talent and friendly competition that pushed each other, to achieve the expertise it takes to be world class, backing band musicians. There’s less opportunity these days to get up on a stage and log in the hours it takes to sound like this. That’s part of the reason why there’s such a big difference between music created then as opposed to now.
