If this recording didn't exist our descendants wouldn't believe us when we tell them that The Jam were the best live band on the planet without exception.

Got to respect that - I only saw them twice and not necessarily what you might call their peak - 1981 in Hammersmith and three nights running at Wembley in December 1982.

3 people making that sound… nobody with that energy & power anymore… thank you Foxton Buckler & the other one..👍🏻

I remember when the first Jam exhibition was at Somerset House in London in 2015 . I turned the corner and this live set up was in front of me. Ricks white drum kit, Pauls all black Rickenbacker and Vox 125 heads with ported speakers ( i had the same set up in my band back then) and Bruce's Fender Precision and Marshalls. I was instantly transported back to 1980/81 , 18 years old, waiting for the guys to come on stage. Magical, i can live with being 61 because i got to see the Jam, the Clash, and so many great bands of energy and passion in England back then.

if I had a Time Machine - this is where i'd have it take me.

There are times at my time of life i look back and think WTF did i do with my life..but then some thing like this comes along and i have to smile, I celebrated my 18 birthday at this concert, and this brings all that joy and fun I had flooding back....BTW i was very very drunk at the time, so this is the first coherant version of this concert i have seen....sometimes its good to be old

Fecking WOW!!!!

One of the best bands ever!

Incomparable. The greatest experience of my life. When we were young & didn't even know it.

Best band ever. Saw them at Brighton 82. That feeling won't ever be forgotten. Lives inside me til i die.

Energy!!! Now that's how to play music live.

These guys are great listening even to this day on 1/28/2024 still better than any band out there to this day

I was a French mod at that time saw them live in Paris fought against skinhead at Baltard Pavillon Great quality thx

Great set. The Jam were in their pomp here. What a band!! Big fan since back in the day Setting sons is their best/ for me‼️followed by Sound Affects. Love all the albums though.

England 1980 - that country doesn´t exist anymore....

The power …the power . Brilliant !

This is greatness.

First year at Sunderland Poly. First trip to City Hall. Great night.

My work pal is in a band. We are both not young. I sang to him on teams (bear in mind I was in scotkand in 60s to 90s) "sup up yo pint and collect your fags. There's a row going on down near slough. Get out your mat and pray to the west I'll get out mine and pray for myself". As a scots guy i moved down pompey way but worked in sluff for a bit. So great to see sluff and actually see what the lyrics talked about. B4 i moved dow here in the beautiful south I flew down to see my GF. The day "from the jam wwith Rik and Bruce played montrose town hall. I nearly didn't take that flight. But I came doiwn to see my English Rose

Insane set, just brilliant

Great performance to see, Good quality backing vocals can easily be underestimated, great video.

A perfectionist.. Playing (at times) some complicated lines, dancing and singing.. Never f@cks up.

Excellent quality.

Fantastic quality and showcases just how brilliant the jam were. Thanks for posting.

His sound and basslines, along with The Stranglers JJ Burnell, were the reason I started playing bass. 40+ years later and watching this again takes me right back to clumsily trying to learn all The Jam's songs!

Pure energy. Sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Weller we love but Foxton absolutely runs riot throughout as if playing "lead bass"

A slight shame about the overly exuberant editing, but otherwise a great document of the band at or near the height of their considerable powers. Thanks for the upload!

This was 1980. My neighbour was the editor. He told me he wanted to capture what people would see at the concert. Switching fro each member.

Rick was a tasty drummer....

Can you do "Here's a New Thing" live performance Paul Weller Brixton 1991?

was there and prev year

De la pop

The whole concert deserves to be on DVD! Does somebody know if this was recorded to be released on DVD?
