Joe Jackson- Interview - 1979 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]

[@mikerevello3828]

Thanks for posting this. I've been a Big Joe Jackson fan since forever. Was lucky enough to have seen him many times.

[@roseakarosiehweinstein3216]

Absolutely fucking brilliant and cool absolutely handsome I love his hair short and spiky

[@tarp11z]

Arguably, Joe Jackson would prove to be the most brilliant pop musician ever recorded.

[@TonyLovell]

At the same time, he could have served us well with another 30+ years of songs like his first 2-3 albums.

[@9ertsch]

Arguable to the point of deadlock.

[@richalderson6069]

Joe has consistently come up with wonderful music and songs a long time after his earlier commercially successful years. But I love the youthful energy of those first three albums.

[@kriswithak6931]

Thank you for reminding me of this amazing artist! He has always been a stand out, and I always felt a kinship with him. Respect.

[@Knards]

Love Jacksons music. Different, unique and tasty

The guy at the end was barking orders like a Doberman

[@MikeUIibarri]

She is a FAIL... otherwise, good stuff.

[@solarwave]

Pretty standard stuff. Joe was being very patient.

Can't believe I never got the reference to The Shangri-Las' "Leader of the Pack"!

weird intervention at the end of the itw..

[@janackova]

If this kid only knew where he would go through the next 40 years.

[@nielsvanweert2789]

Great! Legend! 💜

6:44 Interesting comment about musicians that don't perform in public. Joe Jackson said Steely Dan was a major influence on his songwriting and they stopped touring after 1974.

[@jeshkam]

Aren't they touring again these days?

[@Modernjazz1]

Steely Dan didn't tour from 1974 to 1980. In those years, they were a studio-only band. Becker and Fagen began performing live again in the early 1990s, right up until Walter Becker died in 2017. Donald Fagen is still leading the Steely Dan band (I think they supported the Eagles last tour but Fagen had to cancel because of illness)@@jeshkam

[@Nostaljack]

Joe Jackson tours.

[@louisewhalley3499]

Brilliant musician 👏

[@brianvulgaris6288]

Genius

[@atlantaguitar9689]

I remember when he hit the scene touring this record. Those shows were so high energy. The band was on fire.

[@ThomasClinton-f3q]

You can see at a young age he was quite shy he came out of his shell in his later years great guy fantastic tunes

[@janackova]

He’s been saying the same things for 40 years. So young here. What a horrible interviewer. And where are they? Ha. He’s sitting on a bed. Love this raw uncut footage.
