Joe Jackson 1979 #1: In the Bible, you’ll find the Three Wise Men. In the bible of new wave music, you’ll find the Three Angry Young Men, Graham Parker, Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson. 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. Jackson arrived in the US for his first tour at just about the same time the album hit record stores. This FM broadcast captures him during that tour at the legendary Whiskey A Go Go in Los Angeles on May 12, 1979, 38 years ago today. Download this one to hear Angry Joe not only play tunes from Look Sharp, but also preview 3 songs (Friday, Kinda Kute and the title track) from his 2nd album, I’m The Man, which would be released later that year. PS - a thanks to the folks a Rock Rare Collection Fetish for the covers! Come back on MAy 14 for 2 more from this Same tour, Different Show entry.

Glad you enjoyed beaker, my friend!
Sorry to hear about Mediafire. Perhaps, a personal backup external hard drive. Can you repost this one?
Good news is I have all the shows backed up on an external hard drive. Its just a pain when sites take down the links because all the work posting has to be redone, like this one! well, a new link is up - enjoy.
man, you are f@#€ing awesome- this site is the best- cant even count how many shows i ve downloaded, and the many times you reuploaded at my requests- a big thank you-
Speedy: Thanks for the re-post! I've got two other shows from later in '79, but they don't have the edge this one has.
