Joe Jackson could do everything. Was THE punk rock star, tuned it on a penny, had THE pop it, and also did big band work at a very high level. Most underrated musician of all time tbh

Graham Maby never fails to impress, in so many styles.

And holy shit that bass player is a freaking god

Joe's band doesn't feature a lead guitarist ... it features a lead bassist!

Have you noticed that both Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello wrote all their best stuff when they were angry young men?

Unreal pure punk roots version of Joe in his youth

best version ever made! Graham is a monster bassist ! high energy guys !!!

Love the bass in this song! Rock N' Roll

That’s how you perform live. Lots of fun... lots of talent... and keep sh!t loose. Great stuff!!!!

....... That bass ... ......... F*cking love it!

Simply amazing bass...

This is why the 80s was the best time to be young x

Dang! I would have been a hell of a lot more excited to see Joe J in 1980. I don't know anyone who would have been able to just sit there like that.

Fuck yeah! He is the Man. People forget that the 80s started in 1978. 79.

That rhythm section is insane!

What a great band! What a great song!

I love the way these young cats tear it up! I just had to get another blast from the past!

Hung out with graham and Dave after a show talk for a few hours joe went to his bus but we were only people backstage hanging out and I have to say those guys were top notch blokes!!!

Great energy…amazing bass line!

Graham Maby is INSANE ! Camera could have been on him WAYYY more

Gram maby is the man.

Can't wait to see him in Dublin in the Olympia in March 2022🇮🇪

Doesn't get better than this.

God, he's so good. That band is so good.

OUTSTANDING.

well, I just got my daily dose of rock n' roll and then some! Thank you 1980

This is so f'ing good........... I just crawled outta' my skin.

I listen to this song almost every time I get in my car. The bass is awesome, but the drummer needs some respect too… the energy of this song almost makes me forget I am singing yo-yo five or six times.

What great musicians. .

How can you sit there and not dance to this?

I LOVED dancing to this song in college!!! I'd be exhausted after... but well worth it!

F_cking Brilliant! Graham is one of the best...along, with Bruce Thomas of that era.

man that guy and band with so much just pure energy

What band....loved them from day 1.

You da man! So much energy.

Saw this tour-Great Adventure-Jackson, NJ-summer 1980......JJ was amazing

Their energy lightning bolts through the decades! Thanks guys! Crazy fun!!!!

Holy Shit I wish I was there to see this live. My favorite Joe Jackson tune. Loved his attitude back then.

His bass player was the man!

I love this...this really is the man

holy shit this owns

Graham Maby 👍👍👍🙂

I’m 47 and have never herd this song before despite the fact that I appreciate Joe Jackson. Holy shit, this is a damn good song!

This is the Joe Jackson that I remember way back in 1979-80 in Central Park NYC angry and at the top of his game.

The audience was either inflatable or made out of cardboard. I could listen to this song on a loop for 24 hours and still love it. This coulda been Bill Hicks tbeme song.

Beat crazy one of my favorite teenage records, love Joe.

Ripping that bass ♫♪♫♥♥♥♫♪♫

Graham Maby rules

Joe is really selling it ... very impassioned. Such a great band ... Maby is such an originator but I always thought Dave Houghton's chops were so tight and Sanford's playing was very melodic and inventive for the style. Such a great band. What a great ending.

I've known Joe Jackson for many years, but I didn't know he was so good live. Thanks for uploading.

Gary Sanford is so bloody good

This just makes me smile. :)

big piece of good rock

Love you Joe

Best version of this song ever

Simply brilliant.

Been hunting for this song for years, first heard it when Hep Alien covered it in the Gilmore girls. Think I found a new favorite band.

I remember being skinny in 1980 too!

Just great ..!!!

He's definitely the man

That was a great show

Awesome 🤩

I love this! Thank you for sharing, man.

You have to have confidence as a guitar player when you're playing with the outstanding Graham Maby.

..and THAT boys and girls... IS HOW IT'S DONE!!!...

Dave Houghton on drums, hell yeah !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

As to the audience, while it's no excuse it is a German Television audience, not exactly a mosh inducing environment. Blisteringly great music, musicians and attitude!

That is a smokin' punk performance.

Many thanks for all, Joe and Graham, incredibles artists !

Love his friendly nudge to the crowd

3:18 - 3:26 I'm in stitches at the falling cymbal hahah

"Come on, that's pathetic!" LOL

that audience didn't know what hit them

Oh i forgot Joe was the man!!

Buck-O-9 does an amazing cover of this.

Fucking fierce. It's sooo full of empowerment, in your face.

Pretty F.ing amazing

so fuckn who like ,awesome bass ,drums ,song writing and destruction ,love it

Graham Maby master

Holy cow!

Oh man

They were so tight... Joe JacksonBand ruled and that audience behaved like nothing was happening...I would have Jumped muy ass off....

I didn't even turn 11 until the end of 1979, and my first 2 albums were Toys In The Attic, and Book Of Dreams Steve Miller bought in 1977, and I didn't understand new wave like the motels b52s etc, but I loved this guy and I really loved the Police and their 2 albums they had out at the time, but with the Police as soon as they came out with da do do do they lost me cuz that just seemed so stupid and gay! I know the Police were a great band but their first raw sounding stuff to me was when they nailed it, and this guy Joe Jackson was majorly under rated. Back then he seemed like a little bro band to Elvis Costello, and without his commercial is she really going out, and steppin out, he would be all but forgotten. My next gig in 79' was Tom Petty. When Torpeados came out I was all in, and then I discovered RUSH 2112. My friend and I were so into RUSH that we passed up going to see the Stones 1981 show with Prince opening. My friends uncles had a Winnebego and 2 extra tix, but to us the Stones were "Start Me Up" and the Tatoo You album and that was our limited view of them so we said nah, and I still kick myself. I did see them with Guns in 89 though.

que makina guapa cancion

Kung fu That was one of my good ones Well what's a few broken bones When we all know it's good clean fun Skateboards I've almost made them respectable You see I can't always get through to you So I go for your son I had a giant rubber shark And it really made a mark Didja looka looka lookit alla blood Give me all your money Cause I know you think I'm funny Can't you hear me laughing Can't you see me smile I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

I LOVE how ornery he were! I've heard stories and have my own lol

hero!

I love watching Joe on stage. Spastic. He is great but really doesn't want to be there

An American Saturday morning program called Hot Hero Sandwich had Joe on frequently.

How can anyone say "He doesnt want to be there?" I had one student (of 350) write this about me in class evaluation. How could he possibly know whether I wanted to be there or not? I did, by the way, and received very high evaluations from the rest of the students.

I saw him live about 11 months later in Syracuse, NY. He had pockets full of carrot sticks and he threw some at the audience.

Graham Mabey on bass would have given John Entwistle a run for his money

I'm thinking the crowd is going to be some kind of mosh pit, and the camera pans to them ,and they're all just quietly enjoying the song in their seats, haha

Fuckin’ insane!

Fuckin great performance here man! 🎸🎶

GRAHAM MABY WOWWWWW

phrasing oh my

How in the world do you get 2 world wars started by people who are that calm?

They had the punk act totally sold. Little did the world know ...
