 Pre-FM Soundboard recording, good quality



 In the wake of Graham Parker, many other 'new wave' and literate 'angry young rocker' type artists made their marks and presence known, most notably Elvis Costello, and a little later, in 1979, this guy, Joe Jackson. Previously I've featured some shows from around the middle years of his career (1983-Rockpalast, 1986-Tokyo), but not his early days. So, here is a rousing high-energy show with great sound quality from Joe's first American Tour in 1979, in support of his debut album, Look Sharp! He also previews afew songs from his 2nd album, I'm the Man ('Friday', 'Kinda Kute', 'I'm the Man'), which would be released later that year, as well as some interesting covers (The Maytal's 'Pressure Drop', Chuck Berry's 'Come On'). In this show it's easy to see how and why he made such a vivid impression on the late-70's music scene with his mixture of punk, rock, pop, and classic styles.
