Although I knew of Joe Jackson, I did not really know his music until I heard "Afterlife" 4 years after it came out in 2004. This live performance is a tour-de-force and literally blew me away. I was so shocked that I wondered how the hell I had missed out of Joe Jackson since 1979 when "Look Sharp!" first came out!! Well, honestly, the Look Sharp! album itself, while great, does not leave me thinking this is one of the greatest songwriter/composers of all time, one of the great rock-pianists, and one of the tightest bands of all time. "Afterlife" is even more impressive considering the body of work it covers and the intensity with which it does. If you are a fan, Afterlife is a must-have. <br />"Summer in the City: Live in NY" is also good, but for me not every track like Afterlife. I have not heard the other live albums.<br />Unfortunately, quality video of JJB performances are non-existant as far as I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-13258764577610800192011-03-01T13:44:55.637-06:002011-03-01T13:44:55.637-06:00Thanks for this, but if you look at the credits th...Thanks for this, but if you look at the credits there's one song missing: I Can't Give You anything, the last one.

Like, for instance, the title song, and the last two songs, 'Pretty Boys' and 'Fit'. But I admit, 'Look Sharp' is better, and 'I'm The Man' is probably his masterpiece. <br />About that 'The Harder They Come' EP: years ago, I bought a Joe Jackson compilation for just those 3 songs (my 7" single wasn't playable anymore). <br />I saw Joe Jackson live a couple of years ago: he was mainly trying out material for the album he would record later that year ('Rain'); the album would get good reviews, but I must admit that, at the concert, the older songs sounded better. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for his new songs.Just8https://www.blogger.com/profile/15797732994311292729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-18601663987605700612011-02-25T11:34:01.685-06:002011-02-25T11:34:01.685-06:00Thanx for that.
