Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but front-to-back, I consider this one of the best albums of all time.

[@concertoweb]

same point of view

[@paulterry1335]

Agree dude 😎

[@maxlharris]

Solid.

[@BigWesLawns]

Just like, lawns, and gardens, you... we learn everybodys right, and everybodys wrong. How do you know when an album hits home to anyone right? My fav album is probably not many peoples either, and so wot. If Joe Rocks Your Soul, then I hope you find lotsa golden tunes posted of his shows. 🇨🇦👊🏻👨🏻‍🌾💖😉👌🙏

[@danielnordeen8410]

I loved that album as a drummer it rocked... I would have to say when I played it in my dorm room at UMASS. All my neighbors heard it loud and hard.

[@josephramone5805]

My tastes run the gamut from Aaron Copeland to Zappa and everything in between, and "Look Sharp" by Joe Jackson and The Pretenders debut are among the GREATEST records of all time!

[@MichaelSheffield-ox8yd]

We should have coffee and whisky. You are my doppelganger (possibly).

[@audieconrad8995]

Fuckin'-A!!

[@toddh4491]

Huge shout out to Sue Hadjopoulos whose conga / percussion work is so, so tight and in the pocket on Joe's "Night and Day" really nice to see her live here.

[@nicholasanstey2761]

Funny thing. I always felt the additional percussion was massively uneccessary.

[@broadcastdepth3686]

She's am,azing.

[@borisdaich1258]

The Album was special no doubt. The fact these songs still kick after 40 years speaks volumes because time is the greatest judge. Joe Jackson is a phenom and legend and chameleon all in one.

[@johnfeatherman4942]

I saw Joe Jackson back in the 80s. It was the Golden Age of jazz-inflected, new wave pop music. It's worth being old now to have been young back then.

[@phenixreturns]

Graham Maby is one of the top bassist ever created: )

[@fredhill2767]

the best for me.

[@timford3599]

he's the best I've ever heard and he's stayed loyal to Joe and is the anchor of Joe Jackson Band!

[@jamesschaeffer1770]

Yes, he is. Accurate.

[@dantean]

No two Maybes about it!

[@dianamiino7391]

Absolutely true

[@michaelthomas366]

The first two Joe Jackson albums were the best! Love those reggae rhythms.

[@nicholaskennedy4310]

This era of music was the very best IMHO This Joe Jackson is sooo good

[@instantkarma1511]

Amazing. Rolling Stone magazine said this album was 98 out of 100 regarding debut albums.

[@adam872]

I didn't realise it at the time when I first heard Joe around this time as a kid, but the guy had a fantastic jazz and latin influence in his music. People thought of him as a new wave angry young man, but he was much cleverer than that.

[@rrs8548]

Joe Jackson lived in NYC during the early 1980s when Latin music was really hot. It influenced his music at that time. Sadly, this music has never really become mainstream in USA music. This much to my disappointment as a Latino from Brooklyn ~ I have enjoyed _salsa_ all my life and thought that it would be far more popular and influential in mainstream Rock than it became.

[@luannabbate2624]

@@rrs8548 Lived with an old girlfriend of mine. Met him a couple of times. So creative. Loved this guy. Miss the 8o's

[@guxt65]

Same here!! 😁

[@mrsmokeydog7830]

This was supposed to be the New Wave style of music into the 1980's. Why didn't other groups other then Elvis Costello follow suit in this style. ? It was so original good DAMN I miss those times.

[@EddieC3336]

Simply Red, Fine Young Cannabis SSD, Jerry's kids, Gang Green, Elvis Costello turned into a hobo and rides the rails.

[@lowcatalina6638]

I think of this song every time I put a nice suit on and head out for the night

[@dianebranning3438]

Big shot, tell you what, tell me what goes on around here Go on and get me in the corner, smoke my cigarettes and drink my beer Tell me that this world is no place for the weak Then you can look me in the eye and tell me if you see a trace of fear You gotta look sharp You gotta look sharp And you gotta have no illusions Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder Okay, what you say, tell me what they're wearing this year Go on and laugh at me, 'cause you don't see that I got something going right here Say I'm just a dreamer, say I'm just a kid Well, ace, shut your face, maybe you will see or hear You gotta look sharp You gotta look sharp And you gotta have no illusions Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder Big shot, thanks a lot, gotta go, it's getting late I got a date with my tailor now, thanks for putting me so straight Tell me how they rob me blind on every street But check your watch and wallet now before I go and you're too late You gotta look sharp You gotta look sharp And you gotta have no illusions Just keep going your way looking over your shoulder Yeah~*~*~*~*~*~.

[@gertrudmuller4442]

Best drum and percussion solo ever ! The lady is fantastic !

[@deksea]

Sue Hajopoulos. Not her first time time playing percussion. She also plays the flute. One thing you can always count on with Joe, he'll always bring a solid compliment of expert musicians with him to the studio and the stage. Always.

[@okrajoe]

All around great performance by JJ and the band.

[@johnboucher8726]

My Gawd … makes me regret not seeing Joe Jackson live. Joe’s music abled me through high school. Perfect blend of anxiety and fcuk you to all the others.

[@qstqrt]

this is great! But the release date makes me feel old. percussion is fantastic.

[@keithgamble9715]

I loved Joe from the very start. Favourite albums Blaze of Glory, Laughter and Lust and Body and Soul, but really they are all excellent.

[@johanneskolaczek4984]

Thanks for uploading this! I remember sitting in front of my parent's tv set in April 1983. Totally flashed of the band and its music. And King Sunny Ade with his band was to come...

[@glynisjones8128]

Timeless era!!

[@theshivers1967]

What to say? Sheer mastery.

[@livoire]

s... I love it many year I didn't listen Joe, I'm come back and listen again and again excellent

[@BigWesLawns]

I was a bus boy in a Club Called The Diamond, in Toronto Canada & he played there 1 night. It was an awesome show, real pro setup, good crowd. The band was just "Is she really goin out w him", and "steppin out" to me, and I had no Idea how awesome he was till that night. ❤

[@corycervantes9353]

remember seeing Joe Jackson at a very small venue in St Louis Missouri called River City. excuse me Mississippi nights

[@janellkingman3991]

joe , you did really good for someone who hates your fans , yes, we are beneath you , we got that !

[@chicsartorial]

wow... love that song, love that band, love that guy, and it's a wild live performance: for a moment it's not the end of the world. thx

[@sharisilvers9683]

Exactly! Thanks Joe!

rock beats. latin rhythms.. the former aint in the same league as the latter. ¡cuidadosas bateristas gringo!

[@PappyGunn]

2 drummers. One for politics, one for drumming.

[@CheGumby]

The extra percussionist is distracting.

[@ThatBrothaBill]

Not having a guitarist and that percussion ruins THIS version. Sorry.
