Why does this seem other worldly? I graduated HS in 1982 & there is something so special about that 1980, 81, 82 era...loved Friday's & seeing the live audience...it's a time capsule - before the world really started to change in 1984. The new wave/alternative group's on this show somehow convey a film noir feeling. There was nothing like the nightlife in the early 80's. Anyone who was there knows exactly what I'm saying.

There was a period of disconnect between the UK and the States. When the UK had glam and pub rock, most listeners in the US were into southern rock. I grew up in rural Massachusetts and moved to one of the many sh*t-hole mill towns. I listen to what a lot of my friends listened to, but it didn't make sense, had nothing to do with my day-to-day gritty existence. When I found the left end of the dial--college radio--and started hearing bands like The Jam, Ramones, Sex Pistols, it was like, yes, this is the real thing! It was an awakening that I'll never forget!

I remember seeing this. They never got big with their British-themed songs, but I always thought they could have helped themselves gain a bigger American audience by playing more pop-oriented songs off the Setting Sons album like 'Thick as Thieves' or the 'Heatwave' cover on this TV program. I still have all the albums on vinyl.

The guitar playing here is incredible. He’s not even looking at the fretboard most of the time. And singing too. 1979-81 was peak Jam and peak Weller.

I think Foxton really drives Start, except for the solo of course. Reminds me so much of Taxman by the Beatles. Private Hell is more Weller, but Foxton is right there too. These guys were so full of energy.

Rick Buckler isn't breaking a sweat, let alone a beat. A study in cool, 101. Watching Weller playing an SG is almost as fun as watching him taking his time and playing carefully, settling into the groove after an early gaff. (It's American TV, after all!) Bruce always was, and remains, the best thing on stage with the Jam. This is what bands used to provide: a set of different personalities, instead of today's age of "everyone's a frontman" ethos. I want different characters to command my attention form moment to moment. Everyone in this band commands your attention as much as you will allow, and lets you to shift focus from one to the other as you choose. That's a BAND, y'all! "Private Hell" gives a taste of the Rickenbacker-era Jam, with Bruce's classic Sharkskin and white Bucks leaps, and Rick-rolling drums all around. Add in Paul's string-slashes, their on-point harmonies, and I think this is the best representation the USA could ever have been provided of this amazing band. Breathtaking. When The Clash appeared on this show, they were also at their best. It was a second-rate copycat show, but they had a great later-famous cast, and a long line of kickass bands each week. I was always out on Friday nights at CBGB or Max's Kansas City on Fridays in my teens, so I'm happy to finally catch up!! <3 <3
