Joe Jackson - One to One + The Evil Eye [live 1980]

[Mono] Joe Jackson and the original line-up perform two numbers from "Beat Crazy", live.
The video suffers from some minor glitches, but does not affect the audio.

I’m blessed to be born to a mother who adored this man & band. I loved album this as 4-5yo. Loved staring at the artwork. Used to draw the artwork on Night & Day from memory when bored in classroom. True story just sayin.

As live music goes, it really doesn't get any better than this.

[@TonyLovell]

One to One is so much beyond what Elton John thought he could offer

[@tamuman93]

Joe Jackson is hands down, my all time favorite musician. I was there from the beginning and have followed him throughout. Why doesn’t everybody know who he is?

[@jeffheim8588]

Joe jackson is far too underrated! I have most of his albums and I haven't heard a bad song from any of them.

[@rubenkuipers1419]

Call me crazy, but Beat Crazy is one of my favourite albums. Especially this song, i understand him so well.

[@InaEsin]

Me too.

[@shadowtime91]

Yeah, you’re not crazy at all. It’s ny favorite at the moment, as well.

[@TomBVoxman]

You’re crazy! You gave us permission. 😂. I like it too. One to One is one of my fav Joe deep cuts. But there are so many. I wish he’d play more of them more often.

[@pasqualedevitto5569]

Love the album, too

[@Maximoootom]

Joe swings. This version of One to One is the version on his live double album. Awesome. The smartest composer ever?

[@bunglefever100]

One of the most exciting musicians ever! Such amount of talen combined with a constant search for musical adventures,,,Never a dull moment with this fine artist! He has been with me for most of my life so far and I can't thank him enough for bringing me so many wonderful moments!

The short lived Joe Jackson Band. ❤

"I've got The Cramps on the stereo!" My brother got this on cassette tape when it was first released, loved it then, still do. While most everyone around us was still listening to over-played and tired Stadium Rock, we were listening to this. When I hear this song, it puts me in my brother's 1973 Opel Manta with his Blaupunkt at full volume, smiling and singing!

[@TheFpCassini]

Beat Crazy! is a special album

[@guitarzan2626]

My favorite JJ album!

[@janehayward2151]

he is so lovely.......such a shame he didn't realise what a beautiful man he is,,,,,

[@sleaforduk9153]

Mec absolument merveilleux,un charme de fou, je l'adorais vers 1982 1986, un vrai musicien. Je l'ai vu tard sur sa tournée Big World en 1986 à la bourse du travail de Lyon.

[@choosecarefully408]

Holey effing... this is the master for the recording from which he used for his actual live album, minus some stuff he edited out! *Everything* is the same from the beginning to the end of "One to One" except him speaking to the audience before starting the song.

[@brianoneil9662]

Tight live band! Great!

[@Hymn43]

I love the guitar tone as well as everything else. Joe Jackson for life!!!

[@okrajoe]

So amazing.

[@yyzyyz706]

God, these lyrics are so poignant for 2020.

[@timothybender]

Excellent!

Tried to call you yesterday But you were at the Monday Club Or a Communist demonstration Who cares You're going somewere everyday Vegetarians against the Klan Every Woman Against Every Man Never One to One What's wrong What's wrong with one to one Just once Just me and you 'Cause one to one is real And you can't hide, just feel That three's a crowd I agree with what you say But I don't want to wear a badge I don't want to wave a banner like you Though I don't mind it if you do You're beautiful when you get mad Or is that a sexist observation Or One to One What's wrong What's wrong with one to one Just once Just me and you 'Cause one to one is real And you can't hide, just feel That three's a crowd ******* People say there's no such thing as voodoo I don't know why People say there's no such thing as love I got a job in S.E. 15 And after tax my wage is 16 July the 17th I'll be 18 I don't think I'll live till 19 People say I'm looking so much older than what I am People laugh at me when I say why I'm being watched By the Evil Eye I'm being watched By the Evil Eye Working for a man who wears a straw hat and never smiles And an apron striped and splashed with blood I stack a pig's head on the shelf The boss comes along and says move yourself I can't move I'm hypnotized Staring into a dead pig's eyes I turn around and all I see is ladies With shopping bags Staring at me trying to read my mind And I'm being watched By the Evil Eye And I'm being watched By the Evil Eye (walking home-on my own Standing on the bus stop- crossing the road I'm being followed-'cause I can feel Someone's breath on my neck Someone's toe on my heel...) Gotta keep on walking I can't stop now-I've come too far Wait till I get home and lock the door I got the candles burning low I got the Cramps on the stereo I got the doll now I can start With a pin right trough the heart I got dolls with straw hats I got ladies with shopping bags They'll be sorry they crossed me tonight Now they're being watched (they're being watched) By the Evil Eye Being watched By the Evil Eye Being watched By the Evil Eye

I was playing the Beat crazy CD in my van today. Bloody brilliant. Pretty boys & this are my favs. Joe Jackson is a superb artist.

[@choosecarefully408]

@@buxvan "PRETTY BOYS!!" Cripes, he was prescient about videos before he even decided not to _do_ any. That one & *Biology* are great on a level I wish I knew enough about music theory to express. "Fit," while nasty kind of captures that spirit between acknowledging something socially & accepting it. The best 4 tracks on that album are at the end of it, which is often as things should be.

[@shadowtime91]

@@choosecarefully408The intent behind “Fit” is really the opposite of nasty.

[@Danimal1577]

Just got into a heated argument with a communist woman. Sent her this song
