2002, accompanied by friends I attended a Joe Jackson concert at The State theatre in Detroit. I've attended many concerts over the course of my life, once trying to count I stopped at 150, and this one was special. It was a magical evening and the BEST show I've attended before or since.
1979, attended a concert performed by Joe Jackson on his first tour of America. The concert took place at the Masonic auditorium in Detroit and I was in the company of representatives of MR. Jackson's record label. After the show we were ushered back stage to meet MR. Jackson. He was the whitest man I've ever seen. Leaning against a table with his arms crossed and his legs crossed at the ankles his attitude was jaunty. One of his label reps volunteered that his new album was selling well. He threw his head back, laughed. and said "well if you can't sell them give them away" 2002, accompanied by friends I attended a Joe Jackson concert at The State theatre in Detroit.

I went to a show on the Night and Day Tour. I remember they told the audience to hold the hand claps because they were taping. Joe had to stop one song during the show because they screwed up (no one could tell but him) and start over. Strangely, he didn't have a live recording out until a couple years later with the Big World material. Who knows what happened to all the tracks from the show I saw? What I thought was a stellar performance was probably not up to Joe's standards to be released.

Night and Day was such a great album. I'd give an appendage to hear those tapes!

Jeff AllenVertical asked me to join his blog as a guest expert on "Nuggets" era music... Psychedelic, Garage and Fuzz. Are there others more qualified? You bet, but they weren't asked. He's also letting me write about anything I want… We'll see.
