Joe Jackson - Don't Wanna Be Like That (Live, Nottingham, Early 80's)

[@tarp11z]

Holy Wow that rocks! JJ plays with body and soul every time. So utterly, and shamefully underrated. Screw it....If you don't see his genius, you don't deserve him!

This show was in 1980 to be exact (Beat Crazy Tour).

[@groentemeneer]

aug 27th 1980 I'm The Man tour. Beat Crazy tour started october 1980

[@crapple009]

But wasn't the Beat Crazy album recorded in 1980 after 1979's I'm The Man tour?

[@groentemeneer]

crapple009 yes, but Joe played a lot of new written songs during his second part of the I'm the man tour (starting feb 80)

[@crapple009]

groentemeneer So, Joe recorded Beat Crazy (as well as the Harder They Come 12'' single/e.p.) during I'm the Man tour ? If so, that was quite a long tour (from autumn 1979 ending in autumn1980).

[@groentemeneer]

crapple009 Joe was a busy man that days. I'm the man tour started 0ct 12th 79 till aug 27th 80 with a break between dec 20th and feb 3. Beat crazy was released oct 1980 and the harder they come june1980

What a great video! The lyrics JJ could write, and the music make me long for times gone by. All of it actually meant something! Thank you for posting this vdieo.
