am i the only who loves him stumbling on his delivery after the audience chants back "WHERE?"

"Pretty women out walking with gorillas...", who'd've thought that opening line would be a massive hit. Genius

Love how he barely can contain his laughter when the audience goes "Where?"

One of the greatest bass lines of all time!

year 2023: and still loves the way he react , when everybody join his chorus "WHEEREE?" (min1:34)

This was HUGE in the 80's, even though it was released in 1979. One of the original 80's anthems.

My favorite thing is his laugh when the crowd goes "where!?"

Great tune. And for only three pieces the band sounds REALLY full.

🔥🔥🔥DOPE!!! His reaction to the audience is so cute! Looks like his song still being well known is surprising to him lol

Brilliant musician Great songs

JJ is one of the classiest individuals walking the earth. Still sounds tight and no different than back in the day.!

A rock masterpiece that will stand the test of time. Imagine listening to this in 500 years time.. we were there!

a phrase that is way overused....but this guy is a musical genius. Love me some JJ since 1979, wore the grooves out of Look Sharp

Love this . … and like many others, how he stumbles after the crowd yells “where!” Great smile from the bass player too .

One of the classiest, timeless and classic (if unliklely) pop songs of all time, love it!

I love that he loves the crowd participation. Great performance.

The beauty of 'Later..With Jools Holland' is that all the guests perform live. No hiding behind over-production and manipulation. Turn up, and Perform.

Just discovered Joe Jackson he's so cool!

I saw Joe in 2005 at Rams Head Live in Baltimore. Just him on a piano. Unbelievable performance. True genius and talent he is. Keep it up Joe.

I used to play this in a guitar duo and every time we played it, without fail the crowd shout the “where?” bit. And like the great man himself, I always laughed.

Joe Jackson, underrated musical legend. 👍😁

Audience participation excellent he loves it

Joe is so freaking talented its sick .I was a young teen when this came out. I was like damn this guys a great writer. I like the way Joes trying to keep it together when everyone shouts WHERE ! Thanks for posting this, You have great taste.

Other than the album version this ranks #1 for me for this classic. Also love the acopello version with his entire band. Joe is more than able to take every one of his songs and change it around for every show to keep it breathing a new life for a long long time.

Great time to be around, 23 years old good music great time to be alive . Today I look around and think wtf happened ?

One of his best performances hands down!!! I love it can't get enough of it!

A great song and will live on, great performance of this classic. Joe Jackson was a big part of my teenage years.. Brilliant

great song he's a great singer but very underrated

I was too young to ever see the original JJ Band in 79-80. Seeing them twice on this tour was like a dream come true. This lineup rocked the Bowery Ballroom in one of the best shows I've seen.

Classic, Great bass playing by Graham Maby, Inspired my Bass playing especially as I already owned an Ibanez Silver Series PJ bass like the one he played in the early days. I still have it and still playit regularly.. The song is excellent it expresses that teenage angst we went go through then the girl we have a crush on choses some one else over us. I was going through this!!!!

My world became a better place when I first heard JJ live on the radio. KBCO was airing his Big World tour from Red Rocks in the summer of '85. I immediately bought all of his albums. He spoke for me at 16 and still does.

good that he is still willing singing his old songs, love this song

I remember when this song first came out back in 79...I was 18 and working as a night security guard at a mall just outside of Washington, DC. After years of listening to disco, the Bee Gees, etc., I was DYING for something better....and along came Joe Jackson and, at about the same time, The Cars. Man, those two bands made that summer survivable.

finally a version with great quality

So sweet, hey! And he starts laughing, and the guys have fun too 😀. Great!

The Jam , The Man himself!! Love this song… Go 80’s Generation!!!

I love this, band and audience look like they're having fun. Great song too.

Joe with the original band. ❤️

LOVE THIS SONG! I don't know if anyone remembers but there was a collectors item with this album in a smaller cover. I had one

oh wow, takes me right back to the good old days

A work of art.Absolute Class.Genius.I love this song and never tire of it.

AN under -Rated Great!!!!

This is my favourite Joe Jackson song, with the a capella version the absolute best.

One of the best songs of my youth.❤

Still looking Good. Takes me back some years. So many happy memories to remind me. I remember my mates and I walking through town and singing this masterpiece together. The world was a different place, back then. We had money In. Our pockets, and things to look forward to. and not everyone was obsessed with money. One of the best songs ever, from a brilliant songwriter.

Back in 81 Joe was opening up for the first of many The Who farewell tour. It wasn't a good pairing. The crowd at that time wasn't accepting. Joe got booed off the stage. I was a 17year old kid who joined in in the booing, even though I really liked Joe, and this tune in particular. So I threw my apple cork at the stage, Joe kicked it back, and it hit me back in my head. I was close to the stage, but that's still pretty freaky. Always remember that incident. Much love to Joe Jackson Great tunes

How did I not know this was Joe Jackson, all these years? I must've thought it was that mystery singer who sings all the songs I don't know who sings. 🎤🎶

Excellent ! Je n'avais entendu ni vu de version live de cette chanson !!

OMG ❤

I was so young and this was just fabulous

I was a junior in H.S. when this came out; from the first time I heard this, this song and Mr. Jackson through his career just clicked. Primo songwriter IMHO :)

My favorite part is how he laughs when they say WHERE?

Yeah...that was just ...totally.....beyond.....AWESOME !!!!

Great music great time!

Fair plan to that man and his band they have all stuck together. still got a great voice

His smile is so adorable

Perfect 80s song one of my favs

Saw Joe in Ann Arbor May 2022, EXCELLENT!

Wow love this band especially dave Houghton the drummer as he brought me up and i used to tour with them back in the 80s ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is flat out awesome!

Fantastic artist live seen Joe in Dublin a few months ago" come back soon Joe xx

One of my favourites 💖

Absolutely the best singer song writer of all time funny before I came on here felt had to listen love Joe xxx

Mr Jackson and Ian Hunter are my two favorite English songwriters

Such a Great and Underrated artist

One classic song.

Absolutely perfect... where... there... something going right... here...

Saw Joe twice, the first time he was touring the Night&Day LP, and had that same band on the tour. Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor.

He's still got it!

I lived in Meadow Walk when you did! Happy memories ❤

He sounds great

Great song

I like Joe's long jacket. It's very Joe.

Awesome 😂

A classic.

God bless

I never enjoyed the endless alternative treatments he would offer this on stage. GREAT to hear it as it was originally offered.

forgive me for being nieve as i dont know about any surgery hes had still what i do know is that what a fine talented musician he is together with his band is whats simply called a Class act..

Who cares if he's had surgery? Everybody has to live with themselves and their own self esteem issues. If it makes him feel better about himself then what business is it of mine? He's a great artist. Anyone criticizing him for the surgery must have lived a very easy life and never had any self esteem issues at all.

Loving the chuckle

Dam l miss those days.

Love it

meraviglioso Joe

Still great. Always great.

Love him!!!!!☆

awesome

Yes, bass line picked played for the Chickie sound. I can't wait to get another bass to learn it. We may recognize another rock musician used it to open his band's number (that band is from Boston).

great songwriter!

Love JJ. Reminds me of Peanut. Rock on Joe.

I must have missed this episode because i wouldn't have forgotten his reaction to "WHERE?"

such a good song

great band

i love you Joe

The audience response makes Jackson laugh

This is a fucking great song 😊and very funny as hell

great drummer

Interesting to see nylon bass guitar strings.

Classic! Great version of this talented man's song. I cannot help thinking that he has a 'lookalike' backing band. Neil Finn on bass and Peter Gabriel on drums? :-)

Ohh ok Nice I rember this song nice I didn't know who sang this song

With the original band of 78!
