Joe Jackson @ l'Olympia, Paris - November 11, 2012

At his best.

[@andremilleliri9117]

One Joe Jackson Song a day keeps the doctor away!. I first listen to It's different for girls when I was 16, now I'm 60 and almost not a day without his songs

[@damirhlobik6488]

simply, you can't help but love the music and Mr. Jackson as a person

[@gertvink]

This is an artist that never gets boring! Such a rich experience, I still hope to see him live in my lifetime !!

[@MrPaulDewdney]

You really must get to see him live, I have seen him 4 times, and every time it's a unique experience

[@gertvink]

@@MrPaulDewdney Thank you i hope to make it happen one day

[@squeekyshoes]

I would skip the current tour one hour of songs from 1913

[@TxDrumChannel]

Every time I see Joe he rearranges his music. Simply marvelous! I love it, when an artist plays songs differently. Joe is truly The Man

[@nch62382]

He invented the yo-yo!!

[@mariawenzel5535]

What a concert! For me too Joe Jackson is one of the best and most talented musicians of our time. May he rejoice us with his music for many more years 🎶

[@keithgray7361]

Musical genius is SO RARE these days... thanks to Joe Jackson for keeping real music alive.

[@patriciastepien631]

true mr.gray.

[@dantean]

Like ALL varieties of genius, musical genius has ALWAYS been rare and always WILL be. It isn't demonstrably rarer now.

[@keithgray7361]

Sublime Music Channel fair comment. My point was that in a day of digitised voice-overs and synthesized music, it seems even harder to spot a fine musician. Genius is always rare.

[@andrebrito2332]

Steepin´out is a jewel, ofr example.

[@johndunnebacke4980]

I've been a fan of JJ ever since the 80's... STILL one of my favourite musicians

[@andrebrito2332]

great

[@darylcadman2863]

That Night & Day album...

[@pierremilleret698]

Me too.

[@timford3599]

Everything Joe does is always "Top Notch."

[@Matsi05]

Rockpalast Essen! Hear him singing Radio, while seeing him in the ❤️GrugaHall

[@RAWDernison1]

I consider myself a very privileged man. I'm a Joe Jackson fan since his first album in 1979 and I love every note of every song of every album he made.

[@orsonivirginie666]

I understand....je le redécouvre, il est vraiment exceptionnel !

[@maxcgn7245]

Great band, great tour. I enjoyed the concert in Cologne of the same tour very much.

[@LordGreystoke]

Saw this tour in San Francisco. One of Joe's best! His voice is still going strong for 60 years. His band is super talented!

[@peterpollmann1695]

First time I've seen him live was in 1977 or 78 directly after the publishing of his first Album in "Logo" in Hamburg. May be one hundred people had seen him there. I follow every step of him. Seen him live again and again in Hamburg. Er ist einer meiner allergrößten!!!!!

[@valeriecollecclerc3981]

Je viens de retrouver ce chanteur de mon adolescence par hasard en me promenant sur youtube, et ce fameux step'in out. Certes ce concert a maintenant presque 10 ans, mais je suis certaine que son piano est toujours magique, sa voix toujours unique et son air de Tintin éternel toujours présent.

[@timford3599]

The Great Joe Jackson has proven over and over again that his talent would be relevant in ANY musical era. From The Great American Songbook, Cole Porter et.al. all the way to Rock 'n Roll. Joe plays them all...PERFECTLY and he even speaks fluent French. The Man is a straight out GENIUS!!! Every time I listen to him (both live and in studio) he is sure to impress.

[@superfunkjazzsoul]

Always the most incredeble arrangements!!!!! who else(but Joe) could do so????. And lost but not least, how he always succeed bringing sublime musicians together. I'am always astonished. Go on doing your thing!!!!!!!!!! Joe& Friends. Bless you all

[@dis2666]

Invisible Man @37:18 and Be My Number 2 @ 43:00 OMG the painful beauty of these heartaching truthful songs. Bravo Joe Jackson.

[@arturguei]

I heard first time JJ in a cassette player in my father's R5 in the late 70's (I was 10 y.o. more or less). I immediatly loved the sound and since then I keep on search for something new of JJ. GREAT, simply great !!!

[@mfc4591]

Snap. But I had a R6TL!

[@slick51]

I love this man's taste, music selection (old and new) and especially his band. While all are simply superb, being a string guy, I tend toward the guitars and violin. Adam Rogers and Regina Carter are at the top of their game, especially Regina. My heavens, her tone and note selections are sublime! Jesse ain't no slouch; ditto Allison and Sue. Thanks for posting this!

[@Kid_Shelleen]

stunning...

[@talexb]

Wonderful performance. I saw Joe in Toronto back in '83 and it was fantastic. His three-sided live album is terrific, and hearing Hometown again really brought back wonderful memories.

[@zionassedo]

Still the same search for musical perfection. A great artist that never disapointed me.

[@andreasrys883]

For whatever reason I had "Jumpin' Jive" on my mind today while walking the dog. So I thought it would be a good idea to look for a nice concert on YT, and I've found this one. Absolutely fantastic! Such a great music! Joe Jackson rules!!

[@karentemplesnow8960]

That has to be the most soulful and heart rending version of Be My Number Two I've ever heard! Beautiful!

[@lewisc215]

If you say so.

[@hellotommy]

He's such a great player. I love Joe Jackson.

[@elainebrokethemold]

made my weekend...i LOVE Joe Jackson.....saw them in San Francisco in 2004 and will never forget it

[@carlosroman5039]

Calidad, frescura y arte lo que siempre a destilado joe jackson, prodigio de buena musica sin importar el tiempo, la moda y sus años. Excelente, viva la calidad!

[@ketidaco]

Absolutely sublime

[@BedlamAndBones]

I've been lucky to see Joe Jackson solo and with the reunited Joe Jackson Band. This is just another example of how talented and versatile he is. I'm also reading his book for the second time. He's a genius.

[@timford3599]

Garrett, Please tell me the name of his book which you are reading x2. I'd love to take a look see. Thank You!

[@muriel8569]

The name of the book is :" A Cure for Gravity"😉

[@karenkranz2682]

This is the best concert I’ve ever seen…without a doubt.

[@HowlingMoonCinemas]

Stepping Out always sends adrenal chills through my vains.

[@AlainGuilloux]

I love Joe Jackson! I have every album he's done. incredible songwriter, piano player, singer, my favorite piano player

[@Michele5957]

Great concert Joe!! Come on!! Look forward to a great new album!

[@jdm711]

Of all the "new wave/punk" groups of the late 70s early 80s (Costello, Parker, Clash, etc) he probably aged the best, like a fine wine. He was always the most polished musician of the bunch.

[@darylcadman2863]

And smoked forever as well

[@lewisc215]

nonsense

[@TONDJO-STATION]

j'aime vraiment son multivers...jamais tout à fait là où on l'attend, jamais totalement ailleurs non plus et toujours reconnaissable entre 1000. Thanks Joe !

[@berndkaltenborn123]

Been to two concerts of this tour. Cologne and Berlin. Both absolute marvelous 😍

[@juliepugh688]

Wonderful musicianship at all levels!

[@marcuserektus]

I hate to admit that I have never seen any of his concerts...this is just fantastic!

[@karenkranz2682]

Love these arrangements.very sophisticated.

[@blaiserochat8095]

Toujours excellent Joe... Un de mes maîtres en musique.. attendons Fast and Forward avec une certaine impatience

[@jayjay72625]

What a great performance... big fan, Cheers! 💖💖💖

[@hypno59]

What beautiful arrangements. Joe , you kill me! Never stop your inventiveness, musicality, and emotionality.

[@theweed3800]

I followed Joe since the late 70's, trying to buy everything he produced ...Ha Ha Ha , I ran outa money at 20 or so Cd's . Thank God this is on you tube so I can still l keep up with this most amazing Artist, simply marvelous . Thank you Joe for making this avail;able to p[eons like me:).

[@flachlandbraut]

[@shastacastor]

How awesome is the violinist? Wow. Also JJ is timeless. Love his work!

[@darylcadman2863]

Yes to the concert..... And Violinist

[@ilovetalktalk]

When I first heard his album " The Duke ", I was blown away...and then I watched this! Wow!

[@gregcoleman6864]

Amazing concert - really sad I wasn’t there. A brilliant mix of Duke and Joe! I particularly enjoyed the orchestration of Is She Really Going Out With Him - the tuba and banjo combination were inspired! Thanks for sharing this!

[@ajarndave9660]

Fabulous to hear Joe sing so well, so many years on. Keep going Joe.

[@hs7695]

Great band, wonderful concert. JJB at it´s best.

[@edgreen8140]

JJ such Energy and the band is great with everyone shining.

[@matthieudangeli7736]

C'était en novembre, et non octobre... J'y étais :)) Merci de nous permettre de (re)vivre ce moment !

[@ReallyGoinOutWithHim]

Je te remercie de ton commentaire, Matthieu. Tu as bien raison, c'était en novembre.

[@rickphillips683]

Often overlooked Gem of talent.... Joe Jackson!

[@vutEwa]

loving this live version of you can't get what you want til you know what you want

[@federicomoreno6570]

most excellent... and the version of ¨steppin´out ¨ is the best that i´ve heard

[@ronzoni68]

wow...professionally done, great sound & photography. Beautiful renditions of The Duke's songs. A genius at work. Keep it up Joe. Come to the U.S. for you next tour..visit the Northeast please!!!

[@jejissand]

I'm French and Joe is one of the best music group in the world !!! ;)

[@arthurmeric6512]

Yes... Joe is such an amazing 'group'... :p ^^

[@wisconsindonna]

I wish I’d discovered this man a LONG time ago! Simply marvelous ❤

[@rafaeltoader7081]

Wonderful show...

[@longroad9204]

a great talent is JJ, great sounds, great video, great show!

[@finch45lear]

He's a wonderful musician and entertainer. Still going strong and making his audience very happy. Lucky cat.

[@jimhannigan4519]

First saw JJ at Red Rocks in Denver in late 80's, after rocking it, he came out and did a Jumping Jive set, then crooned us! Like 3 amazing talents in one. His bands are so tight. Brilliant lyrics. And here Nate Smith on drums!? Bonus!!

[@blakewhittington4336]

Do you really wanna hear it like the album? Well,you won't here. Always creating something new and that's a special thing

[@thomasnelson5758]

LOVE how he segues from Target to Steppin' Out just like on the Night and Day record. Fantastic

[@orma8306]

Encore en forme le Joe! super ce concert! Vu a Nice dans les années 80. Merci pour cette mise en ligne

[@sheinFL]

I love Steppin Out. Takes me back to 82, i was youg. Joe is one yr older ghan me and i still loveit.

[@danidillon1268]

At 1:21:39 he played my favorite "stepping out" This concert is phenomenal..I wish I could have been there!

[@jasonnoble7814]

Dani Dillon kool!! :)

[@MotelekYT]

Thank you🙏

[@yumikohanasaka785]

Merci pour télécharger! I really love this tour. Original " Steppin' out" 💗 I just hope Joe will play " Breaking us in two" in Europe again!

What a gift to my world. I love you Joe Jackson. And I love your choice of tour musicians. k

[@foxandscout]

I love Joe more than almost anyone . . .

[@waynecarter4200]

so wonderful watching these people,i wish i had that violin player to help me sleep at night

[@rwagner3120]

Right on the money, Joe. Madonna's on tour with 42 truckloads of stuff and Joe Jackson, a far superior musician, doesn't bring along his own lights !... precious.

[@winterlandboy]

I wouldn't call Madonna a musician.joe is brilliant

[@bethshadowen904]

winterlandboy lol great comment :)

[@marcclad9112]

Man you got that right. I dont think madonna would even be able to tie Joes shoes

[@cristianavelluti]

thanks a lot for this ... Joe!

Fantastic tune thanks Joe

[@gregord2759]

Incredible version of "Is she Really Going Out With Him" at 1:34:25. Addition of the banjo is fantastic. Allison Cornell is an amazing musician. Joe is lucky to have her.

[@paulstephenson5913]

Just great 😊 to have him on You tube

[@elkegerhard4148]

Thank you so much for this upload. It was such a wonderful concert!

[@shawndaheisser3585]

So wonderful as always! He can sing anything and make it so damn good!

[@JohanBuitelaar]

thanx! Was in Amsterdam, good to see this back...

[@29Scalpel]

Somptueux.

[@baskoppe6924]

Thanks for the upload. Saw the show in Utrecht, The Netherlands. It was my first Joe Jackson concert and it was great!

[@amherst88]

Thanks very very much for uploading this -- he's been a hero since the beginning -- can't imagine my life without his music . . .

[@angelfrom1]

Thank you for uploading this concert. I went to the first of two and in London and I was disappointed Joe didn't play more British dates. But you gotta see Joe on every tour because they're always very different and if you miss it that's it for ever. Been to every tour since Body and Soul always great value long may he play.

[@rhumcoca34]

bowie and joe jackson was my life

[@simonhickey4923]

Memories from my teenage years he is brilliant

[@sethureddy4394]
