I've seen Joe Jackson on 3 occasions - in February 1981, in August 1980 and then in October 1982. When I saw him that final time he was in the midst of making the transition from angry punk rocker to an artist playing tunes influenced by Cole Porter, jazz and big band music. I've always preferred Angry Joe!
This FM Broadcast captures Jackson during this Cole Porter moment, in Boston, on December 9, 1982, 43 years ago today, right after the release of the album, Night and Day. The disc went to #4 on the Billboard charts, Jackson’s only top ten album. The singles Steppin' Out" and Breaking Us In Two both were top 20 hits. Gentle Joe was clearly more chart friendly than his angry predecessor.
