Approaching 60 but still feel 20 when I hear these boys, brighton 82, the day the music died 💔

[@neshiah4747]

I saw them at the Rainbow in ‘79. I was 15 and blown away.

[@patriced3364]

Similar situation and feeling for me

[@leeleemurphy4028]

when i was 12 years old my older friend knocked on my door as i was blasting heatwave from the setting sons album from my bedroom bending my mums knitting needles on my pillows playing the part of rick butler anyway he offered me a ticket £7.50 p to see THE JAM at the manchester apollo 1980 my older brother put up the money for me on the night to this day this was an unreal experience a band called THE ALARM supported a guy called vaughn toulouse (later in a band called department s) was the DJ the lights went low and this guy came on "lets hear it for the fucking best band in the world " JOHN WELLER i didnt know that at the time . it was totaly pitch black and then this almighty explosion the lights where blinding at that moment it was like a bomb had gone of as ETON RIFLES screamed all over the theatre we rush the stage which you could in them days as i looked up just prob three foot in front of me was my hero weller nothing mattered anymore i was totally in shock as this guy i only had seen on top of the pops and in new musical express and MM was literally that close to me nothing to this day have i experienced anything like that night ive got goose pimples now writing it just to think only three guys where on the stage but the sound was electrifying ive seen lots of band no one as ever matched that night

[@eega100]

Unbelievably tight..very underrated bass and drums combo of Foxton and Buckler

[@raymondbedborough8522]

Excited trip to the West Country from Wales to watch the Jam in a cows shed. Fantastic

[@stephenquigley6617]

Raw and brilliant I seen the jam 4 times between 78 82 great times unmatched

[@jonbarlow4763]

21/01/23...01.02 Tuned in...Few beer under the wing and all that and still pissed off from Dec 1982...Jam till I go under ground.

[@luizferpunk86]

The Jam are so underrated!! One of the greatest Punk and Mod bands!! They reserve for recognition and respect!!! Gotta love them!!

[@andrewkemp8725]

Saw them three times,best band ever

[@halfordslain7477]

First ever gig Jam/Vapors at Wolvo Civic 1979. Brilliant.

[@peterbirkett9537]

Remember this waited up late Tyne tees television broadcast it memories had telly up loud and my dad came down to tell me to turn it down lol

[@Senna-xi1gr]

Me & my mate Mark were 6 rows from the front. They played two nights & we were there the second night. It was absolutely amazing. A once met Weller at the royal Albert hall when he was going in to see THE WHO & me & my brother asked if it was true that his all time favourite photo of him was taken at Newcastle city hall & his reply was yes that’s right lads. (Yellow polka dot shirt as seen here). Bruce is a legend as he still tours with From the Jam & puts on a bloody great show. Keep it up lads. 👍🇬🇧🎼🎤🎸 Thanks for the memories.

[@KnispelGreece]

Just 3 Brits, SO MUCH POWER! Thanks guys! Grew up with your tunes and spunk!

[@neilmccormick2064]

Saw them for the first time when I was 17 in 1979 , fucking awesome.

[@chrisholland1246]

Fucking brilliant,energy it's a prime example of what real music is,not crap shit!!

[@jchrisiciplan]

f.. goosebumps decades after

[@granto6738]

God how we need a band like this now

[@seemefeel2]

In deed. I have seen the band only once in Turku, Finland 1980, Raw power, style and substance.

[@granto6738]

The Jam never grow old. Never bettered.⛄🎆❄️😂🎄👼🎅🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sicks6six]

ITV broadcast this gig that night on TV, everyone was talking about it the next day, weller said this was his best and favourite performance with the Jam, the energy, none stop onslaught on the ears and youthfulness will never be matched,

[@vinnymitchell2550]

This was never my cup of tea, but you've got to recognise the absolute raw talent 👏

[@kareemawheat5781]

One of the most underrated (at least in the USA) bands ever! They were simply incredible!!!!!

[@iandainton2416]

Fuck the USA, still listening to Tiffany, twats

[@eckeynecker]

Yeah they never really broke America , they were huge in the UK and had moderate success in Europe . Same with Madness i think they may have been a bit too English . The Clash smashed America though .

[@helendi7000]

@@eckeynecker same with the Kinks

[@Citadin]

@@eckeynecker the Clash only broke through in the US with their later stage crappy singles like Rock the Casbah

[@luizferpunk86]

Love to The Jam!!

[@rangatang100]

Best gig I've ever been to what an introduction

[@Suedehead68]

You will not find a better version of David Watts on video or audio anywhere on the internet. The Jam at the peak of their powers, the audience, the picture quality, everything!

[@steve-r-collier]

ive just discovered this band..i think they are up there with the jam kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZXSc5yLa9OBZs0

[@houmm08]

There's not enough good things you can say about Weller, he's up there with the very best, he lives and breathes music, always has always will.

[@patriced3364]

Really outstanding band! Love em

[@anthonyporter3147]

If you ever check these comments Derek it brings back good memories specially pretty green, singing it walking down kings road🤣

[@mickb7459]

One of the best bands ever I was gutted when they split, I liked the style council, but the Jam were on another level.

[@howardlyne2326]

The style council had about as much style as kermit the frog

[@peterbolt9694]

@@howardlyne2326 I love The Jam and unless you meant this as a compliment, you are objectively wrong, Sir. You can fault the The Style Council for whatever you like, but you need to admit that never before and never after has the revolution been so stylish and beautiful like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWarl4KfpdypqtU

[@jeffreykaufmann2867]

@@howardlyne2326 Weller departed from his Rock n Roll roots with the Style Council.

[@Citadin]

@@peterbolt9694 "Revolution"? It`s just harmelss pop. You listen to the Jam today, and pieces like Man in the Corner Shop or Little Boy Soldiers are as relevant as ever.

[@jamescorlett5272]

@Peter Bolt do you think kermit la frog is in anyway meant as a compliment ? Weller riding around on a Lambretta is as good as things got Paul's idea to take the Mods into the record shops - nah tsc weren't for me either - but it was well and truly A Nice Time whilst it lasted .

Thanks for doing this, Good on ya! Cheers 👍🏼

[@brubeck1]

what a setlist man i wish id been there.

[@stringlarson1247]

I was fortunate enough to be a few feet in front of Rick Bucker on their last roll thru Chicago at Aragon. It was hot as FK and I recall R kicking the shit out of the Kmart box fan they had pointed at him. He dint miss a beat, ain't none of those baselines that are simple/easy

[@raulsaez7018]

Grandisimos the jam

[@seltaeb9691]

I was a generation older but I liked the Jam. John Lennon would have really loved them & there was certainly a lot of biting John Lennon attitude. Tough on the other two when Weller left & they disappeared accordingly, Style Council was on a different planet & no one saw that coming. Nice tho..

[@DikstaTube]

Too young to be there but definitely the best backline in a three piece band EVER

[@iandainton2416]

Never mind, it was a brilliant affair

[@stephengoldsmith1]

The intro of David Watts was sounding a bit like the Quo

[@TractorBeam]

Anyone know the date of this show?

[@andersongabrelon9588]

Do caralho!!!

[@JohnSmith-gp2fg]

Joy Division were not under related by young people at the time 1979 & 1980. Theor songs were often at number 1 in John Peel's Festive Polls. The problem is ordinary young people don't count.

[@elliotrutherford8516]

Someone post setlist please?"

[@howardlyne2326]

Go ahead

[@Mod-rw9cw]

Google it

[@neilmccormick2064]

I've played that stage before with my old band in the 80s. Newcastle was a great city to play ,brilliant audiences there.
