Joan Jett and the Blackhearts 03. Victim of Circumstance [LIVE 1982]

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Rockpop TV show
WEstfahlenhalle
Dortmund, (West) Germany
May 28, 1982
The May 28 date is probably the original broadcast date. This performance was likely
taped on May 1, when Queen played in Dortmund. Joan opened for some, and possibly all,
of the shows during Queen's 1982 European Hot Space Tour (April 9, to June 5). From
the size of the audience in the video, she was definitely opening for someone.

Totally live, she sounds almost studio perfect. She was one of the greatest all-time "frontmen" in rock history. David Lee Roth, Paul Stanley, Robert Plant, Vince Neil. She stands tall amongst any of them.

[@Ray-lv7hm]

Ray Olson I listened to the studio version to see if this is them lip-syncing. It is not. Totally live.

"They say I'm demented and I never could sing." They used to say that about her when she was in The Runaways because I remember those reviews.

[@davidday8417]

The Runways were awesome how they aren’t in the RNRHOF is unbelievable that band if given the chance would have blown bubblegum music away,DJ wouldn’t play their music songs like American Nights Neon Angels on the road to ruin,of course Cherry Bomb written on the spot by Joan in reference to Cherie Currie those 5 ladies deserve Rock and Roll immortality I know Joan’s in but without the Runaways putting her front and center then there is no rock star Joan Jett !!

[@Noble3781]

She is so beautiful :')

[@kleinthomas8267]

Yes!! Even at 62 she’s still rockin’

[@kimberlylyons2531]

I love the part where Joan tells everyone she doesn't have to please no one. I love that. That's Joan, that's the way I feel she really is f*** it

[@dpj5]

Just saw her about a month ago. She opened with this song. Amazing.

i love her voice ♡ i started to listen joan in june of this year but every time i listen her music i am more in love with her

[@emmaduncan2991]

Quite possibly my fave Joan Track, and considering how epic her catalog is, that's saying something.

[@LegettHall]

emma duncan I saw her recently in Dallas and wish I'd seen her back in 1982. Great rendition of one of my favorites she does, and she does so many I really like.

[@joaogurgel2464]

I love Joan Jett 🤘❤️🇧🇷 Joan Jett always beautiful

[@clisk35]

totally bad ass..i had the i love rock n roll cassettes as a young rocker..such a awesome album..i remember the song nag was mine and my cousins favorite..good times..

[@avocate2017]

+C Lisk Yep, "I Love Rock N Roll" was a great album and it's still my favorite Joan Jett era. I listened to this album all the time as a kid. There wasn't a bad song on the entire album, and it had a great rockabilly-punk sound. The band was really solid, too.

[@hellangels_23]

« Nag » and « I’m gonna runaway » are my favorite songs from this album

[@cakelady8523]

Baddest chick around! Love you Joan!

[@punkskaterpizza]

[@Vash0Estampida]

@BLOODTheChosenOne It goes on in next video. Thanks for sharing this.

[@junkolibertines2146]

my soul is said that she is my true love.

[@Sbaxter1989]

Janis would have LOVED this.

[@talbotsplace7316]

When I see a drummer with brushes in his hand I want to throw up. So I take a hit of pepto and turn on a Joan Jett video and the world slides back into place!

[@Spill_Eviction]

I like hearing what she has to say. Why did you cut it out?

[@samstauble707]

anyone know the chords to this song? I can't find them anywhere.

[@martinrodzzz5329]

Well... Starting with the only tricky bit - Middle She hits a D major with an E bass (if you have a bass player he takes care of the E bass while you just hit a D chord. On your own, you can add your guitar's open E). Then it's - D, G, A, G, A x 3 followed by B for a little while

[@martinrodzzz5329]

Intro is just a big old E chord, then.... Stop. B, A, straight into verse 1

[@martinrodzzz5329]

Verse is super simple: E, B, A, B x 2

[@martinrodzzz5329]

Chorus: E, G, A, C; E, G, A; B. B. B, B, B, B!

[@catlady8324]

I thought she was going to say “I love shoulder pads”.
