The Jam - Heatwave

American Bandstand -1980

[@Mod-rw9cw]

Paul always gave it 100 % when miming.Boundless enthusiasm !

[@areaman714]

At least Bruce gave it the old college try!

[@davideverett6813]

He wasn't miming!! Bit of a backing track!! But vocals and instruments were live!! He just looked cheesed off!! Maybe wanting to do their own stuff!!

[@Mod-rw9cw]

@@davideverett6813 They’re not even plugged in. Of course they’re miming.

[@wideyxyz2271]

I was 16 just about to leave school and start an apprenticeship on £27.50 a week. A pint of beer here in Manchester was 43p a pint (yes I could pass for 18 easy) and the music scene was fucking excellent. Plenty of live bands doing all sorts of stuff musically it was fucking excellent!

[@duffymoony]

Bruce giving it 200%, live or miming, he didn't differ.

[@jkthemod]

That's EXACTLY why we love Bruce...

[@eyemoeba]

how to put energy into a room.

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

So are the ridiculous plastic audience

[@Robcatist]

motown was such a big influence on The Jam

[@Philmod68]

Paul looks like he is thinking..."What the FUCK am I doing here"...and "Fuck this artificial scene" haha! I love how he is using a Hofner club guitar(a guitar he would just use for miming purposes)...something he would NEVER use live...

[@davidbeverly6411]

That audience is freakin' insane...

[@MsMelissa303]

I would indeed be one of these fangirls in 1980

[@chazmork8265]

Great video, my god Paul Weller smiled, briefly, brilliant Ace Face, keep these ''treasures'' a coming!!!!!

[@georgealty9009]

1.42 I spotted it too!

[@penguinsisnotughly]

Thanks Aceface. I love all your videos.

[@EngoneEndong]

Legendary!

[@colinmclean6302]

Brilliant stuff ace face, you never let this jam fan down...... R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Amazing HD quality

1of the best cover sony ever

[@user-bn6vi9pt4t]

コレ懐かしい‼️

[@mookie8400]

Paul Weller just loves to mime :)

[@connorjones9512]

mookie they had to that is why he looks pissed off

[@acarouselofantics]

Good cover!

[@antonioskoutsoyiannis5319]

I told you i need a Heatwave. It's not 100°, but it is still boiling hot. Tony, Thessaloniki, Greece.

[@luciogarofalo64]

Un brano in perfetto stile "mod revivalista", tipico dei Jam... Il singolo è estratto dal quarto album realizzato dalla band di Paul Weller, "Setting Sons", uscito nel 1979...

[@coversband1983]

I love how pissed off paul weller looks when he has to mime

[@PurpleTT99]

...and I expect having to watch those artificially over-enthusiastic audience members following orders to perform for the camera was bloody awful for Paul to have to endure.

[@alfiecat9288]

He always was a mardy tart

nothing on the internet can surpass this masterpiece! blimey, and I like all sorts of shit

[@stuartharrison165]

Have you seen the 77 live Slow Down ?

[@user-xm6bk1bp5f]

love is like a "heatwave".恋はまるで"熱波"のよう。

[@MrDaveyboy103]

Ace :)

[@user-ky3xi9qv1n]

Let's dance ！

[@madmodem]

Paul Weller's pissed because the band is not really playing the song live. They are lip-syncing to a recording. I'd be pissed too. And yes- the audience were told to freak out like that. They aren't really that into it unfortunately.

[@georgealty9009]

Fake it. I don't care.

[@user-dn8in9jd9x]

1:02 hysteric

[@eyemoeba]

i like the screaming american girls almost as much as i like rick's sax solo that he did entirely with his mouth.

[@crosslink1493]

I wonder who's playing the piano in this? Paul & Bruce both are busy with their guitars and the vocals, Rick back there slapping the drums relentlessly like a madman, so where's the back-up bandmates?

[@kriseast5097]

Boring doing cover versions for most bands now a days... but this was such class and not one most would pick from tunes of the Jam... Quality..all over it...one of my fav`s and running on the spot...

[@varamyrz2920]

Kris East I think they picked "Heatwave" as a nod to The Who, as they also covered it in their early Mod days. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqWQfZSDorCFm8U

[@alastairwest5200]

HD QUALITY...

[@jimmyjames8611]

VHS on EP. Nothing finer 😂

[@ufewl]

wow that audience were mental were they a professional audience? i thn he smiles at the audience or something at about 1.42

[@gordonmathers6489]

ufewl thinking same as you professional audience. In some ways similar to blonde dreaming video

[@johnrichardson1796]

Good Audience though 😁

[@markgiles9449]

Check out The Who’s version.....

[@Mod-rw9cw]

Trivia question- what singlewas this the b side to. Not released in the UK.

[@colinbailey563]

I don’t believe it even made it to a B-side in the UK. It was an A-side in Japan and the US, though.

[@markyjam1]

Saturday's Kids

[@Mod-rw9cw]

@@markyjam1 Yes 👍. I’ve got it ,bought it from handy records in 82.

[@markyjam1]

Still got mine too, bought it 1980

[@mcnam999]

@@Mod-rw9cw I used to buy The Jam's US & Japanese imports back in the day, think they were from Adrians records.

[@matteomalvezzi475]

1:02 cringy audience, what guitar is Paul playing?

[@beetleything1864]

hofner - like the bass - but guitar version..

[@taffytop]

Weller looks extra pissed off maybe because the especially chosen dance school audience aren't digging his music they're just over acting to the camera

[@johnallison6474]

Americans just didn't get it.......

[@georgealty9009]

Thank god they played a song they "could have got" !

[@stuartharrison165]

Where's his Rickenbacker? Even the SG looks better than whatever that is.

[@safetyman4967]

I think it's a hofner club 40 similar to the one John Lennon used in the early days of the beatles

[@victorhart6015]

Could Paul look more bored ?
