First up on our under-appreciated piano-rock hit parade is Joe Jackson, a consummate musician who has dabbled in various different musical periods and styles (pop, rock, new wave, jazz, swing, classical, etc), and has always produced quality stuff. He first came on the scene in 1979, and made a big splash with his post-punk new-wave style debut album Look Sharp!, when he was grouped with the likes of Elvis Costello and Graham Parker as the voices of change. His best period was undoubtedly the 1980’s, when he released one great album after another (including Jumpin’ Jive, Night and Day, Body and Soul, Big World, Live, and Blaze of Glory (Big World was my pick for top album of 1986 and high on the album of the decade list). Although his popularity has steadily waned since the early ‘80’s as he has ventured into more eclectic musical styles, he has remained a force to be reckoned with, and one of my favorite artists. Here is a fine show with very good sound quality from the Night and Day Tour in 1983, probably his most successful album and tour, from a German radio broadcast.

This is one of the most best concerst of Joe Jackson. I had it on VHS but the tape is broken. To bad. I wonder....is there a DVD?
ReplyDeleteTo bad the adience is very loudy....sometimes. I hear Joe said....I have never seen so many drunken germans....
But still a great concert.
A DVD was just released, including not only this but also 2 other Rockpalast concerts by Joe.
ReplyDeleteDead link - can you re-up?
ReplyDelete12string,
ReplyDeleteNot sure what you mean, link still works fine. Probably had a problem with Zippyshare, as it can be troublesome, sometimes have to click the download button multiple times (and deal with annoying popups) before actual download will start.
I get this message when i try the link

12string,
ReplyDeleteAre you in the UK? Because apparently zippyshare has been completely blocked from access in the UK, but the reason for this is not yet known, or at least has not been made public. Sorry.
Yup. I'm in the UK. That would explain a lot. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks. This is an excellent show.
