I bartended in a huge three-level nightclub in the 80s, and management decided to book live acts once a month to bring in fresh crowds. First and biggest act was JJ&BH. They ran a tight ship, professional and well organized. Only a couple of roadies, so the band pitched in to help set up gear. Every single person was polite, approachable, and hard working. They clearly just wanted to have a great, entertaining, no-drama show. So nice.

In the 1990’s at Shades (small club) in Orange Park Fl the band was more than an hour late getting started. A group of us got a little rowdy. Nothing serious. Their bouncers removed us. The cost of a ticket was only $10-15 . I never got close enough to see her again. It’s not too late Joan? I’m still a fan . I held onto my original Runaway albums.

If you appreciate and love what you do, then the creativity within yourself will be delivered.

I remember her performing for all the Sailors and Marines stationed in Okinawa on the 4th of July back in 2003. It was hot and humid so she took her top off. I still remember her stopping the music and telling all the Sailors and Marines "thank you for protecting our freedom". I bet you'd never hear that kind of patriotism out of any musical performer nowadays.

Saw then round the same time too. Was 17 and totally blown away by the crunchy guitar rhythm. Then crimson and clover filled the entire stadium. Made a bootleg and played that tape over and over after the show. It was so awesome just wished I had money for a tee shirt to remember the gig by.

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers eh? That is pure primal rock and roll a perfect cover for Joan to do.

What a talent. Hard to believe she had trouble finding a label after the Runaways broke up.

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HER SPEAKING VOICE ITS SO- 🥵

I was a Runaways fan back when it all started. It's great to see that Joan and Lita are still rocking in their own unique ways. Cherie, the last I saw, was using chainsaws to make wood sculptures. RIP Sandy.

Congrats to Joan and Ricky on getting into the Hall Of Fame! Rock n roll is alive and well.

I bought all her old albums. Lots of good songs you never hear. Very impressed. Friends saw her live and thought she was great. This was when Letterman was great before he went corporate at CBS in '93.

My guitar hero, and such perfect punk rock voice. And a great cover.

I sweat when she smiles at the camera when singing. ❤❤❤

RIP Alan Merrill. He was the writer of, and lead singer on, the first released version of the song "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", which was recorded by his band the Arrows in 1975. The song became a breakthrough hit for Joan Jett in 1982.

I’ve been following Joan Jett for many many years even back when she was with the girl band the runaways she’s been around a long time and still follow her today same with her all the queen of rock Susie Quatro who is the queen of queens of rock

The 5-6 after her 1-2-3-4 was so unexpected lol

Joan is such a huge inspiration to me. She’s so fucking cool!

How can this whole video not make you smile, from the performance to the interview!? The only bummer is that we didn't get to see if the call worked-out. Simpler, better times. If Joan Jett had called me by surprise when I was in high school, I think I would have been a stuttering mess.
