1970s - #6: Joe Jackson’s debut album, Look Sharp was released in the UK in January 1979, and then in the US, in April of that same year. Propelled by the single Is She really Going Out With Him, which climbed to #21 on the Billboard Charts, the album did even one better, reaching the #20 position. After touring the US in the spring in support of Look Sharp, Jackson returned to America in September for another run right beofre the launch of his 2nd album (yes - 2 discs in one year), I'm The Man. His concert at the Palladium in NY on September 29, 1979, 33 years ago today, as captured in this FM Broadcast. was an pivotal gig in that helped jump start Jackson's career. The radio broadcast was not only recorded for for two installments of the King Biscuit Flower Hour but also simulcast on WNEW TV. Jackson and his band capitalized on this opportunity, deliverin an explosive performance packed with the strongest material from his first two albums when these songs were a fresh and exciting part of the new wave/punk movement!
