[@wisconsindonna]

Listening to this in 2022 and man this guy is brilliant and this band is fantastic. I wish I’d found Joe years ago.

[@williams2652]

This is the Joe Jackson band that I remember seeing live in 1980 Central Park NYC. A great live band and Graham on the bass is completely underrated. As Chris said below "Super tight, sweat and passion"

[@cesarelombroso6735]

Agreed. All those concerts in the park were good in those days. Jackson was superb!

[@sixthickthistlestix5605]

Joe and this band is immortal!!!

[@philzee7452]

holy frickin crap, this shreds, i am sad i just found this now

[@philzee7452]

[@chrisdicarlo9825]

A command , high energy performance by Joe and his super-tight band! This is what great rock n roll is all about- passion, sweat and phenomenal songs performed with conviction by great musicians! Thanks for posting!

Fantastic rhythm section.

[@carlsmukall9636]

Friday is such an amazing kick a$$ song!!

[@1derekwinter1]

Fantastic....Just started re listening to Joe again and catching up on what I missed...more fool me. What a phenomenal musician he is.Great show this...despite the audience...least said the better!

[@misterdavid5400]

I think Joe's piano playing has improved to world class, seriously brilliant where he now plays Duke Ellington classics in his live shows. I can say he holds more than a candle to the great piano guys - Elton and Billy for example. He started new wave and that's been retained in his recent style with added sophistication of jazz. His regret was not doing more video clips and cashing in on the MTV era. But Germany's Rockpalast is the perfect archive for any great musician over the past 50 years. Love Rockpalast.

[@rickancil5222]

Genius! All 4 so talented and tight! Been loving it since the 70s! Thanks JJ! Sunday Papers media BS 2021 and beyond

Merci pour ce partage 👍 Graham Maby : Enorme ! 🙂😮😛

[@hans-edgargundlach7741]

It could be named sophisticated punk but It is far more than that It is a melting pot of rock an' roll blues jazz it swings and sweats in a new kind Feel the bass - lines groupies and admirers of Joe Jackson

[@davidarnold1225]

It sort of came out of the pub rock era in England, in the late 70's. Others included Elvis Costello & Squeeze.

[@wimgui]

It just doesn't go better than this, believe me!

[@johnunderwood3132]

So fuckin good. Always love JJ

[@Moldywallpaper]

I only got to see them live on the Jumpin' Jive tour in '81.They were incredible.

[@davidarnold1225]

That would have been an awesome tour to see! Go see him again, you won't be disappointed.

Fucking OFF THE CHAIN ! 🤘😎 !!

[@DonFranko68]

It seems that the audience doesn't really want to hear Joe Jackson's music or appreciate his talent.

[@simonespanu7768]

It's different for Germans. ;-)

[@danrease7505]

This was filmed for broadcast on German TV chances are the audience was told to cool it to some degree.

[@GregCurtin45]

Thank you - absolutely amazing.

[@tettazwo9865]

[@mightyV444]

Such a great show! 😃 Just a bit of a shame there often was an echo effect on the drums that hadn't been set to the correct tempo 😏

Awesome! Thanks.

[@pddaniel8033]

Anyone know which gig this is from? I think Joe did a series of Rockpalast shows around this time? Thanks.

[@robertduncombe7684]

This brilliant performance was recorded Friday March 14th 1980 at WDR TV Studios in Cologne Germany during his European 'I'm the Man' tour. I was fortunate to see his 'Night and Day' tour two years later in Calgary, just unbelievably awesome! Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@choosecarefully408]

@@robertduncombe7684 Funny story about _that_ tour. Steppin' Out was Joe's first #1, & on the strength of that & having a rep as a punk-rocker, he got to open for The Who: at their very last gig in TO. The largest crowd Joe ever played for - but they weren't expecting all the new, experimental stuff he & his band were playing for the N&D tour. The gig was a late addition he was only too glad to accept. He got shouted & thrown beer bottles at the whole time. & he had to fly & play another gig he'd already committed to that same night - in Montréal! Can you imagine?

[@treesloth9]

Skateboards I almost made them respectable

38:27 Is She Really Going Out With Him?

[@choosecarefully408]

Two tracks in, & I'm hoping; Not once have I heard the original band do "Look Sharp" with Dave fully cutting loose. Now, this recording really allows us to hear him. He's a guy who doesn't merely hit the drums the bare minimum. His rolls are excellent. He adds accents wherever he can. Okay, "Mad at You" really sucked some of the energy out of the show. I'm tempted to think Joe selected it because he was angry at the tame response this audience is giving him. The crowd finally starts making noise after "One More Time." Joe isn't being very nice though. Other recordings show him yelling at crowds, so they're getting off easily compared to those. Still, it feels like he wants to pick an actual fight. Oh, he shouted at someone before the 40-minute mark. Damn. No drum solo from Dave. Heh. In '04 when the band got back together Joe turned the line "pork-pie hat" in "I'm The Man" to "war in Iraq." It was awesome. 😅

[@adderon7476]

Look Sharp really cooks. Love the drumming there

[@TonyLovell]

Amazing restraint to see one of the most talented keyboardists of the past 50 years ... not play the keyboard.

[@Pyway100]

Too bad you can’t hear the guitar

[@danbuckholz9228]

Poor Gary Sanford looks like he’s straight out of the 50s and doesn’t seem to know what to do with himself on stage lol.

[@mightyV444]

Eh?! He's the one of them who's moving around the most! Or did you mean Graham Maby?! (on bass, dressed in black)

[@janackova]

That audience was horrible.

[@riaanesterhuizen9003]

What a lame bloody crowd!!!!!!
