      i'm so stoked you did a "Joe Jackson mini marathon," that was so much fun! although it's a much different vibe and a more serious topic, there's a great live version of him doing "Cancer" from a show in Germany here

    Shout out to Graham Maby on bass! He also played with They Might Be Giants, Natalie Merchant, Marshall Crenshaw, Joan Baez, and several other artists over the decades since this dropped in 1979.

      Graham's sound was so high in the mix and so solid - almost like Chris Squire with Yes in terms of mix, not style. He seems to be Joe's right-hand as he's been on most tours and records with Joe. He and Dave Houghton are painfully underrated when talking about the totality of Joe's music.

    I am loving these Joe Jackson reactions. He's fantastic. Don't sleep on his Jumpin' Jive album. It's an entire album where he covers 1940s swing band and jump blues songs. It's a magical exploration of some of the best songs of that era. A wonderful musical journey and exploration.

      Jumping Jive was really good but it was such a departure from his early punkish albums I think he lost a lot of his old fans even if he gained new ones. I don't think it stood out as much as his early albums, even if it was more polished. Maybe too polished?

    Hello Jamal, I just caught your reaction for the first time after hearing the studio version of I'm The Man. I learned the bass line note for note back in 1984. We were a Toronto band playing a few gigs in Cleveland, OH. We ended a set with I'm the Man, and a guy came up to me and said he hadn't heard bass playing like that in Cleveland for years! I didn't know who Graham Maby was at the time, I just knew that that was one hell of a fast song to play. Indeed!

    I was lucky enough to catch Joe Jackson live at Central Park back around 1981. A great show. That summer I saw Joe Jackson, Talking Heads, Pretenders, B-52s (I think), Ramones, and I think a few more at the Central Park series. It was either $3 or $5 each, can't remember which. The same year I also saw Squeeze at a venue on the river. And more. The best time of my life.

    I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth
    Look over there (where?)

    I'm so glad you are getting into Joe Jackson. Hard hitting rock and roll with really witty lyrics! And yes, Graham Maby, the bass player does drive things, doesn't he!
    If you want to see the band live there are some fairly good recordings. I recommend listening to the studio version of "Got the Time" and then watching the live version. It is really fast in the studio cut and then impossible fast on stage! A wild ride!
    I saw him in concert in his early days, old movie theater, tiny place. Instead of dressing rooms they had a old coach bus parked out front. My friends and I gazed through a gap in the curtains and saw Joe inside. Then he saw us and started screaming curses and closed the curtain. On stage he was great but at one point his Mike went dead. The crew was frantically trying to hook up a new one and he'd try it then slam it to the ground in disgust. So the time the band was just jamming waiting for the lyrics to start. It was crazy but I think his rage just drove him to a higher level of intensity. All good!

    My dude! Watching you get into it was the best part of the vid! Right on about the bass! Lead guitar AND lead bass. Amazing arrangement and pedal to the metal from first note to last! A banger!

    Shout out to Graham Maby, one of the best bass players in the late 70s/early 80s.
    For JJ live videos from that era I highly recommend their Rockpalast (German concert tv show) concert videos from 1980 and 1983, they should be good quality, ripped from the DVDs, I suppose.

    Hi Jamal, "Don't Wanna Be Like That" is also on I'm the Man..."Five Guys Named Moe " on the Junpin Jive Album and the classic "Is you is or Is you Ain't my Baby...and his album Big World, which was recorded live has a jam called "Right and Wrong" and "Wild West" I love Joe Jackson...
    Great Job Jamel!

    Joe is awesome, and indeed the man. I never saw him in this era, but did see him a couple times in early 90's (including at the Greek in Berkeley) and the early aughts.
    The last time I saw him, some dude in front kept trying to take flash pics and Joe was having none of it. Finally took off his keytar, swung it at the dude and almost beaned him in the melon. He was saved by security who yanked him back.
    I was like "if this dude gets knocked TF out by a keytar, this live music moment will never be topped!" LOL.

    There are so many fantastic bass players from this post-punk, new wave era (John Taylor, Graham Maby, Steven Severin, Mike Mills, Bruce Thomas). I've always wondered why. My best guess is that it's guys with a punk sensibility who were heavily influenced by 70s R&B and funk, but that's guest a guess.

    Hi Jamel, the 2nd Musician I ever met. I met him in Wisconsin when I was a teen at the time when kids only needed to be 18 to drink in Wisconsin and I met the whole group, it was GREAT

    That's the mighty Graham Maby killing it on bass. One of the best to ever do it, imo.

    This era of music was when the Brits were heavily influenced by reggae music. This was when The Police became popular! If you hear that first Police album, very similar to these early Joe Jackson songs

    This was from the album called "I'm The Man". The thumbnail of the video is the front cover of the record.
