The Jam Live - Town Called Malice (HD)

[@Garryokee100]

Bruce Foxton, one of the most unrecognised but best British bass players ever. He should be in a hall of fame if he's not already.

I could listen to him playing bass guitar all day.

[@sammysouth8372]

Bruce sure rocks that bass guitar. So melodic.

[@vincentbrannelly8786]

These lads meant something and deserve massive respect .

[@billrana2373]

Still mean something always will today tomorrow always all day

[@Cobbi-19]

Absolutely!

[@issyjas3309]

I was about 12 when this was released, straight to number one. Glorious track

[@holomatrix]

An ABSOLUTE masterclass. The very, very end of The Jam Live when Paul was at his peak. Couldn't get better than this, probably the best version of Town Called Malice Live he's ever done. Outstanding.

[@Kedbuka]

Yep, it's awesome

[@imprezawrc3243]

The Jam and their music never ages, it sounds just as good today as it did when they first released it, an all time great band .....

[@paulrichards2350]

40 years ago and the words are still ringing true Weller at his best🙏🏻

[@barrystewart8056]

That's when you still have the fire in your bellies and the talent to match it . Utterly sublime . We all need The Jam .

[@jonathanhadley2555]

This has got to be one of the best versions of A Town Called Malice!

[@jonathanhadley2555]

Ever;-)

God I remember that night, Fred Perry polo and drain pipe jeans, a night that will always be with me!

Where was this at?

[@ian40]

what a drummer, Rick Buckler is. his bass patterns and faultless stick work, is quite wonderful

[@EM-yk1dw]

Indeed, self taught too.

[@Thenameonthegraveisarchstanton]

@@EM-yk1dw self taught……he’s not exactly buddy rich but he got the job done

[@EM-yk1dw]

@@Thenameonthegraveisarchstanton Exactly he did the job.

[@Mod-rw9cw]

After years of looking this is the best version of Malice out there.

[@argon6548]

So fierce and angry, love this performance forever.

[@briank.7686]

Wat a gift to us, that tough guy and rough voice with sensitive thoughts and words. Is anyone like him??? We need him now to show up these male “musicians” and “rappers!!”

[@lrh411]

Just taking a trip down memory lane here today... don't mind me.

[@matthewash1200]

Will never ever ever be bettered

[@crazydavedisco]

This has got to rank as having one of the best bass lines ever!

No mention of Ricks drumming in this ? Absolute awesome 👌 I get chills with that first bass line

[@vernontap]

I saw them live 38 times. He never missed a beat... absolute class

[@stevej061069]

Just listened to this with headphones. That drumbeat is absolutely killer, and totally spot-on timing wise. Combined with Foxtons baseline, it was an integral part of The Jam's sound. Just timelessly brilliant.

Happy days throwing sick days to and see the jam on tour wasted youth give me some more

[@duncanvernon7210]

This sounds incredible. His voice is so powerful.

[@alistairthomson3214]

They don't make music like this anymore. Long live the king of British music!

[@jamescampbell2521]

It is not possible to listen to this song and not dance.🕺 Great tune, great band.

[@vincentbrannelly8786]

Pound for pound the best British song of all time . . Listen , ffs just listen .

[@deletebilderberg]

ENGLISH. The Jam were so VERY English.

[@katoness]

A jolly tune with bleak lyrics. We know, we are the working classes!!

[@AutPen38]

What an incredible version! So angry, but so tuneful. Amazing.

[@johnpluck6126]

Fuckin Love this Band!!! Growing up in Ireland at the height of punk & what followed! The greatest musical education anyone could have & should have!!

This music takes me back to my youth as the Mod Revival spread eventually to Southern California in the early '80s. Great music!

[@docsavage8640]

Bruce Foxton so great on bass. Every song his part is memorable.

[@simonmorley8403]

Fire and skill!

English modern art uniting the youth of the time that lasts a lifetime. Pure class.

The best homage to Motown sound. One of The Jam's best songs and my favourite one.

Songwriter: Paul Weller Lyrics: Better stop dreaming of the quiet life, 'cause it's the one we'll never know And quit running for that runaway bus 'cause those rosy days are few And stop apologizing for the things you've never done 'Cause time is short and life is cruel but it's up to us to change This town called malice Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious In a town called malice, yeah Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Struggle after struggle, year after year The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice, I'm almost stone cold dead In a town called malice, ooh yeah A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef Gets dashed against the Co-op To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear It's a big decision in a town called malice, ooh yeah The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere Just going round and round, oh Playground kids and creaking swings Lost laughter in the breeze I could go on for hours and I probably will But I'd sooner put some joy back In this town called malice, yeah In this town called malice, yeah In this town called malice, ooh yeah
