Great to see Graham Maby on bass still with Joe. Been with him since the early days!

i have adored this lovely bloke since his beginning , what a bloke his voice is second to none his songs are all works of art xx lol to all fans Jane x🌹🌹🌹🌹

I, too, have seen him many a time and he always convinces!

Legend

Phenomenal concert! Joe sounds terrific! Long live Joe Jackson!

This is so surprisingly amazing and fresh! I loved him in the 80s and 90s too but totally lost track since then. His catalogue still is relevant and vivid and... what a band!

I can, and have, put his album "Big World" in the CD player and simply listened to it from its first note to the last. A bonus are the "transitions" between songs. A track NEVER "ends." One instrument, the bass, the keys, etc. will continue playing its riff from the first song, while every other voice in the composition changes, creating the new piece. Whether you are a fan of J.J. or not, you can not deny the innovations that he has brought to Modern Western Music. 🤔

His song "Friend Better," from his 2019 album is a favorite at our station! He's still great in the studio, as well!

Big world was not a studio album.. it sounded so clean and clear and dramatic and explosive, melodic, and beautiful. I’ll never forget losing my best friend who literally sang the entire songs together on Big World 🌎.. What a album recorded live in Japan .

I remember buying Big World on vinyl the day it came out, opening it, and seeing it was a double album with only three sides recorded. Cool! Definitely an underrated album and didn’t know about the transitions. For me, Joe’s masterpiece is Body and Soul, start to finish, best sounding album I’ve ever heard

Always will be one of my big favs. Just so melodic and beautiful.❤️❤️❤️❤️

We were fortunate to see him this past Saturday night in Charleston, SC. It was a great show. People were dancing in the aisles.

Saw interview with him,such a humble charming old, young! Man😊love his music/ band ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Saw the show a few days ago in Portsmouth Guildhall, Portsmouth, (Joe's home town) UK. Been following Joe for decades and this show blew me away. Still buzzing. Joe's voice is crystal clear and boy, what a great band...

Saw him last night. What a show. He never disappoints.

love the way he changes up the things up

What a great performance. Love knowing he still has it all.

JJ remains the greatest..

I had the pleasure of watching two shows on this tour. Magnificent. Tight tight tight band

He is absolutely fantastic, after all these years. And he has hardly aged!

Great Post, ty very much. Joe is as good now as when he started out over here all those years ago. Most underrated songwriter in Britain, probably the world but possibly the best one ever.

The one and only time I saw Joe Jackson was back in 1979-80 in Central Park NYC.

I was there. The opening band (ESG I think) got booed off the stage. The crowd did not want to hear funk.

Wow, brilliant to see Joe and his band. He's still got it, not just the voice, key boards skills, and the back catalogue, also some great new music. Now I'm going searching to see if he's likely to be touring down to New Zealand anytime soon - wouldn't that be awesome???

Thank you very much for this upload! Sadly, I did not realize he was touring Germany before it was too late. Followed him since the Night and Day tour in the early 80s but somehow lost track around 2000. Nice to see him still at the top of his game.

Thanks for posting. Saw him last night in Atlanta GA

First time at Center Stage. Nice venue. Last time I saw him was 20+ years ago at Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan. He had horns and percussion then.

Too bad he chose the ABBA cover instead of this in Atl.

Thx for posting!

Graham Maby is one of the all-time greats.

Love how they go from "It's Different For Girls" into "I'm The Man", just like the album. This is a killer band.

Thank you for this. We saw the show in Atlanta Center Stage. Treasure. Golden.

THE BOSS!

Thanks for the upload. I saw him in Hamburg Germany yesterday. Same Show basically except we got ABBA instead of Steely Dan and Nineteen forever was left out. Great band!

Thanks so much for this post, never got to this tour, the dates didn't fall kindly in the UK, enjoyed watching 😀.

Nice footage, glad to read that comes with an new album this year (2023)

Qué grandioso es Joe Jackson y qué sólido grupo trae! Gracias por registrar y compartir este concierto. Su voz se mantiene intacta (sigue fumando?). Que nos dure muchos años.

It's the Ginchiest! Any Major Dude Would Tell You!

I've watched this several times, saw them (Joe and Graham) in Pompey on this tour (and previously) but I'm wondering how come the sound quality of this vid is so good!! Can't be from the phone or whatever was used for the video... So nice to remember how good the live event was, postponed as it was by covid

Thanks so much! It's just my iPhone 11 pro at the time. Compiled vid in iMovie but just checked, didn't bump or enhance sound at all. Also nice center seats in a small, great sounding theater helps! Enjoy, going to see him again in June!

And on the bass Graham Maybe the great!!

I simply can’t believe I didn’t know this happened. Three miles from my house. Jeez. I saw the last tour in downtown San Diego.It was the 40 year anniversary tour.😥

👍👍👍

Nice. You got 19 Forever and Blaze of Glory. I saw that record played before a live audience for the very first time.

I loved "Blaze" when it came out in my 30's. I "rediscovered it" a couple of weeks ago over 30 years later. To me its like emotional time lapse film that threads those 2 endpoints - particularly these 2 songs. Now in my 60's, those 2 songs pack more of a punch!

@@jamesrosencrans644 I think it was August 1989, and I heard a brief mention on the radio, "Joe Jackson, Lonestar Roadhouse, Sunday night." No internet at the time, so I called the Lonestar Roadhouse. Yes, he's playing Sunday night, no tickets, get here early. My buddy and I used fake ID to get in, 11-piece band in a small club on 52nd Street. I recall Joe saying it was the first time playing Blaze of Glory before a live audience, and they played the record start-to-finish. I think Gary Burke messed up the drum solo at the start of 19 Forever, Joe made them stop and start over. The place was so small that the band entered through the front door, one-by-one. Graham and Gary came in first and laid down the beat to Can't Get What You Want, then the horns came in, then Joe hit the piano. That show, or the original JJ Band at the Bowery Ballroom on the reunion tour, was my best JJ live show.

Sunday Papers predicted Rupert Murdoch's effect on the dim and aging 40 years before it would become the skid mark on the underwear of the first world.

Going to see him 6/21/2022, wish he would play Ode to Joy, but don't think he's doing it this tour

Is Graham Mabe still with him?
