I will follow Joe Jackson to any musical place he takes us! He is a true chameleon and I am so happy that he is introducing us to the talent of Max Champion!!! What A Racket!

I love how you say "he is introducing us to the talent of Max Champion". His personas are so fully encompassing that you DO pretty much feel like Max is his own guy. And honestly, I like any Joe fan who says (like you do) "I will follow him to any musical place he takes us". I know the phrase is overused, but I have always said that Joe is a musical genius & I truly believe that. I don't think there is another musician alive today who has quite as much talent, diversity & TRUE love of music that Joe has. What I found particularly interesting about this show was that Joe himself TRULY seemed to be having more fun than I have ever seen him have on stage (and I have seen him probably 10-12 times, if not more). He was all smiles & that's cool, especially for someone who is supposed to be aging, although I just simply don't see it. 🤷🏻‍♀️💖

Excellent show at The Egg in Albany tonight. Utterly charming. GO. SEE.

Just a BRILLIANT performance........Saw the Evanston and Milwaukee shows. Incredible. The older he gets the better he gets,,,,,,,,

another winner from Joe, he never ever fails to deliver no matter the genre

I just got back from his show in Phoenix. The Max Champion second half did not disappoint, as the band were all dressed in 1910 clothing and they were acting the part as well. The first half did not include my two favorites (Down to London and Hometown), but I was still very happy with the whole evening. It was nice to see his sense of humor on display.

The Sporting Life is my ear worm, personally, but they all have a bit of an earworm quality, don't they? What a show!

Absolutely brilliant.

Love it, great historical background! British musicians like Freddie Mercury, Paul McCartney, and others introduced me to music hall style compositions. I'm intrigued to hear this new album!

You have to be open-minded, but I think most Joe Jackson fans are, don't you agree? It is not like anything else he has done, but we all know this is not the first time Joe has taken us to a different place musically. I'm not a big jazz fan (sorry folks, I'm always embarrassed to admit that, esp bc I come from a family of musicians & I'm the only one who is not a big jazz fanatic) but I loved the Duke album & found it particularly wonderful bc I was able to take my mother (in her 80s) to the Duke tour & she's a huge jazz fan. As we were leaving the venue she said "I knew every single song!" & then I realized that he did mostly Duke & older stuff that my mother knew from when I was still living at home. I said "you heard this music every day of my life when I was living at home & the rest of it was a musician who you also love - there was nothing there for you not to enjoy". She couldn't have been more happy that she finally got to see Joe Jackson. She died 2 years later, so I couldn't have been more pleased that I finally got to take her to a JJ show. While I was at the Max Champion show all I could think of was how much my mother would have loved it - having taken her to the Duke show it was a lot easier to get over the fact that I wasn't able to enjoy this one w her.

Heads up for those expecting 80’s music at his 2024 tour. You’ll get about 45 min of 80’s on the piano and then an hour of 1910 London pub songs.

Isn't that what everyone's expecting? That's the new album, I would hope people expect to hear it. I thought it was AMAZING- so much fun. And he didn't do just 80s w solo stuff - he did 2000s & 90s as well. Did you enjoy it? I thought it was beautifully done.

What a racket this is!

I'm so looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam Joe

The Bishop and the Actress…now where have I heard that before?

@@LordGreystoke seriously? You came to this thread to say THAT about Joe Jackson? What exactly is 'self-indulgent' about it? What, are you upset that he didn't do EVERYTHING that YOU think he should do? This is not a place to be a troll, just go away w your nonsense. The man has given us 50 years of GREAT music & you pop on here to refer to him as self indulgent? That is the most self indulgent thing I have ever heard, even on here & I've seen some real bullshit in KZread comments, especially lately.

Broadway Theater shows in NYC, please. Then touring show world 🌎 wide.

not fooled for a minute. But it’s fun. Better than Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppns. 🎉

Still waiting on the release of tbe Stocker soundtrack!

How many answer songs are in this album? 1. This is an answer album to Mary Lee Kortes' BEULAH ROWLEY which JJ worked on. 2. As mentioned in another comment, BISHOP & ACTRESS answers to SUNDAY PAPERS 3. SHADES OF NIGHT sounds like the strolling of ON THE STREET WHERE SHE LIVES from the musical MY FAIR LADY wherein Eliza's father was played by a music hall star. Tom Carradine who appears in this documentary covered WOULDN'T IT BE LOVELY also from MY FAIR LADY.

And how many answer songs has he done? 1. Human by Human League is JJ's BIOLOGY 2. THE BEST THAT I CAN DO is possibly answering ARTHUR'S THEME by Christopher Cross 3. EVER AFTER uses the opening strains of LOVE IS HERE TO STAY 4. I think Glamour & Pain shouts out to Kate Bush shouting out to WUTHERING HEIGHTS bcuz the trans hooker floats outside the window of her John 5. TV AGE shouts out to TALKING HEADS 6. He says IS SHE REALLY GOING OUT WITH HIM is from shangri Las leader of the pack kzread.info/dash/bejne/la2GyqudYNHRZrA.htmlsi=rU_zXKJYZNqU64iq 7. BREAKING US IN TWO answers bad finger day after day & starts with it and then the lyrics respond 8. Little Bit Stupid imo answers Rebel, Rebel 9. DOWN TO LONDON answers LONDON CALLING I'm sure I'm missing a ton. Post if u know more. I could have sworn TRYING TO CRY answered something from SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE album.

Max is definitely a persona, a very well done & beautifully crafted persona.

McCartney was influenced. Listen to "When I'm 64"/ Your Mother Should Know/Honey Pie....
