Joe Jackson... one of the greatest musicians of the modern era! Real music, real voices, real instruments... REAL TALENT

[@Paul_Halicki]

I've been aware of him for years and years, but lately I've started to listen to him more critically and you're right: He's a great musician and composer.

[@susanmaynard8652]

Yes mate agree. Some fool at work told me Elvis Costello sang it she had to give me 50 bucks for losing the bet

[@Konagregg]

I love this version of this...I used to have it on cassette!

[@aviduser1961]

I love the variations JJ does with this song, but this one is my favorite.

[@silverstevo]

I was there -amazing to see this after so many years !

[@LeelooLisa]

I saw Joe Jackson in NYC many, many yrs ago. Seeing this now, makes my heart sing. He is a miracle, a Mozart. When I listen to "Real Men", I almost cry, but have a wide smile. His lyrics and piano are pure artistry and YOU JOE have added to the quality of my life.

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

BEEN in love with this version for years,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@lokisan100]

Yes, me too!

[@MD-kg1kq]

Beautiful classy voice and sir. Once I had a music room full of CD's, with instruments, and with a mixing table. But after a divorce I had to give up everything.... Do I miss it? Yes for the music and the fun. And no I don't miss it because I am happier now, than when I was married.

[@cidermanone]

You can almost hear the audience, via their silence, wondering "what the hell is this?" before he kicks in with the lyrics! Fantastic!

[@markmanko4031]

My wife and I saw him from the 2nd in Pittsburgh a few months back and we both agreed we never realized how tall Joe is....

[@lennierichardson1387]

Yeah, he's about 6'3". Amazing musician at any height.

[@Paul_Halicki]

Wow. Just stumbled upon this. I almost clicked on another version of the song, but then the chorus kicked in and wow, what a fantastic sound!

[@permanentkick]

heard them doing this version Calgary 83 and it stuck in my head and never left ...

[@Iris156]

Amazing!!! Still, and will be.

[@glennhfriedman4571]

this is still amazing

[@BernardColdwell]

Excellent version of the a Capella - very nice melodic

[@chaddarden5884]

Sadly that was me in High School . I had a full head of hair , thought I looked real cool, & couldn’t wait until the weekend parties. Wouldn’t you know it. The girl I never could get enough courage to ask out was at every party I attended. Damn Gorilla stole her around the time I was getting up the nerve to ask her out. Still hate them Gorilla types today so it seems !!! This song rings true to my heart & makes me wonder. What If I ???

[@marionweber389]

helemaal te gek helemaal te gek.

[@williambone5678]

So cool 😎, so groovy

[@nitedreamer23]

This video has everything that today's music doesn't have, chief among them is sweatpants. We need more sweatpants in rock today! Wonderful version of a classic.

[@8703160707]

I really miss those days of seeing Joe perform the old stuff. Great music. thank you for sharing

[@DrWhom]

[@eugenemalush9284]

[@blahdeblah6207]

Joe Jackson is a modern Master.

[@gregyance9901]

Beautiful, powerful performance

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

Seeing this meant I could get a good look at a local venue I never knew. Thin Lizzy played there too

[@RvAHax]

Thanks for sharing this good old song. Appreciated.

[@djowhite]

A little piece of magic right there

[@SuzetteELopez]

Love the acapella version of this song!

[@tenkloosterherman]

[@mileshedgehog]

This version popped in my head outta nowhere. Thanks for posting it 💖

[@stephenandersen4625]

always a favorite. ... never realized that Joe was that tall

[@eastvandb]

Maybe he only hires short backup singers.

[@tarp11z]

He's 6'4".

[@ralflensink4705]

Best a capella song ever!!! :)

[@quietusplus1221]

Still good to this day, and being played on Dutch radio.

[@scottbecom8335]

I use to have an album with three versions of the song including this one.

[@ScottAnd]

I have that album

[@nitedreamer23]

What's it called? I want it.

[@marksynnot1458]

I have it too. It’s called Live 1908/86. A double album.

[@ScottAnd]

@@nitedreamer23 Its called Live 1980-86. Its a double album

[@nitedreamer23]

Scott A I had cassette tape of this very performance I taped off a local radio station--back when stations used to do crazy things like play live concerts and album sides.

[@frazergoodwin4945]

This was broadcast on radio at the time (Radio1?) and I recorded the entire set on cassette. Brilliant to hear it back again! (next track on the set was "stepping out" if I remember well)

[@AtheistOrphan]

So did I! Yes, it was part of BBC’s ‘Sight & Sound In Concert’ series, a ‘simulcast’ on Radio 1 (in stereo) and on BBC2 (in mono). The other one I recorded in the series was Thin Lizzy (which was recently rebroadcast on Sky Arts).

[@tjer4006]

Awesome take on the original, this band was tight!

[@okrajoe]

Would have loved to have been there in person.

[@Fouremyleofceres]

amazing

[@carloslozada2121]

[@spd13062]

And if my eyes don't deceive me..

[@purplepimpernel]

I've liked joe since the 1st time i saw him on mtv @1983. he was different. he sang about life's trials. I've heard them all from the late 50s' till about 10 years ago. Somehow somewhere along the way music gave us a cold shaft; nothing but trash these days. There are a few good bands but that's about all. I can come to utube and hear them all. Utube is ok. All the records & few commercials. I hear long ago regional hits & a lot are good.

[@0NameInsert]

I saw him at Bristol Locarno probably the same year, he sang acapella then - but forgot the lyrics and ended up going dum de dum de dum...brilliant set though.

[@funkfanzzify]

ja>3

[@u-ymarciano9782]

this is 1990. 1983, is when was wrote. -aeni`

[@guuskempenvan5170]

Ik wist helemaal niet dat een a capella nummer was

[@stevesnuggs1]

I didn't realise he's 6'4" until I saw this clip

[@Timolucas]

I also heard several times on the radio a accoustic version with a harmonica or something. Does anywone know if it is uploaded somewhere? Can't find it.

[@Bottled-Soap]

I have the feeling this is the one you are looking for

[@rebelblainey8201]

I had the cassette. Love this

[@gahloot]

His voice seemed a bit ragged, and that look he gives at around 1:45 says it all!

[@Flippie123]

Exactly. He can NOT sing.

[@BelgianDrummer]

@@Flippie123 And what a fantastic career he had “not singing”....

[@Bottled-Soap]

@@Flippie123he had great range

[@joedambrosio5423]

Very good but better version is on his triple CD....

[@chaddarden5884]

Don’t say “carried a banana in my pocket “ please…. Tried that & it made my hang down look even bigger than it already was…..

[@tarp11z]

And yet they still compare him to Elvis Costello. Some people just can't get their due....

[@anne-marieriamitchell1140]

Is he American?

[@KevBehindACamera]

Glee 1983 Very.... Um... different

[@giulioarti4852]

He’s good 👍 not sure about the backing !!!

[@carloslozada470]

Joe kinda looks like Elon musk

[@denniz1990]

sounds great but he is singing weird :P

[@aerts06]

Such a great song, such a ugly head! lol

[@ivx8345]

This is so terribly bad... I rather listen to one hour of cats in heat.

[@dwtime]

I think you should write shit comments like this. Nothing like a good rejoinder huh?

[@Kedeas]

Late at night with your ear against your parents bedroom door I assume!!!!!

[@Flippie123]

You are so right. The guy can NOT sing. Terrible voice.

[@kiloechocharlie1342]

And I'll bet you do...

[@blindminstrel7249]

Very high in my top 10 of most irritating songs of all times… together with 4 Non Blondes 🤮
