Truly, I humbly say this is the finest live performance recording of this melancholy masterpiece. I wish Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, would hopefully be Blessed enough to hear it in their lifetime at least once. 🙏🏽
I am probably the least sentimental and romantic MF I know, but this song never fails to bring tears to my eyes, even after listening to it dozens of times over the years since it first came out. A true masterpiece, from a true master. And props to Graham Maby! As a fellow bass player, I'm a big fan.
Joe Jackson is a highly underrated musician. I have been enjoying his music for over 40 years. My wish is that more people would take the time to listen to his music, and appreciate its originality and quality.
This is an incredible song. It has a haunting quality that most of my favorite songs do. That quality makes you recall hoping, being let down, and hoping again. Anyhow, I'd never seen a video of Jackson live. I really got an impression of him as a talented performer. He is doing things with his delivery that emphasize the talent he was born with and reveal the skill he has acquired.
I hope you've seen the music video by now, since it's been a year since your post. I'm not one to promote videos for songs, I believe the song is best when it's just the music, but in this case I believe the video is done So Well, that it's actually a Positive movement to see it every once in awhile. Whoever directed/edited/cast it, did an Outstanding job in catching So many nuances in the song. The video is almost Perfect. Well, actually to me, it is. Just like the song itself.
Joe Jackson has such a cool and unique style. He's a great musician/singer. I have enjoyed his music since the early '80s. This song is a real gem of a ballad. :)
Beautiful! This lovely song brings tears to my eyes. I had a misunderstanding with a beloved special friend, yet he is forgiving me bc I’m human. Ty for sharing.
Saw Joe @ The Capital theater Passaic NJ When he 1st came out and he was really good live.. All these years later being able to see the bands I have loved all my life Is A dream Come True..... I use to love this song.. tnt4-ever.......
Tell you what my heart wishes I could have seen with this particular song and live version (and I'm sure even JJ would be shaking his head "no")...a duet, at this tempo, with his "Happy ending" singing mate Elaine Caswell. A tremendous singer as herself could control her vocal power, I believe, and could have sung this with the same soft melancholic unease that Mr. Jackson does here. Laugh at me if you will, but if it could have happened, with these backing musicians (love the lady electronic keyboard player and lady percussionist he had at this time) I think it could have been fascinating. Just my .02, but I'll take this one as well.
The age of real musicians and artists with real talent. I miss those days.
Fkn eh

Joe Jackson , such an underrated artist

So very true ! He’s a genius ✌️

darkmaitri One of my all time favorites! I have all his music!
Remember how it followed on the heels of "Steppin' out", also from the "Night and Day" album. This song and that one lived up to the album's title.
I nominate we put Joe Jackson into The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Let's make it happen soon, please.

I heard this song for the first time today. It breaks me inside... I'm listening and listening, nonstop...🥺
Listen to more of his music, like Steppin' Out.
@@alanc1491 I will, thanks 😊
This is a 1982 song that has no real equal in terms of mastery. This man stands out among those that stand out. Love Joe Jackson’s work.
@@lourivera9794 yes, Its amazing song!

Just beautiful. This song makes me cry.
The piano(s) and bass breaks just seem give him time to catch his breath.....what can you say?....incredible...

Have to give a shout out to Joe's band. Awesome musicians, each of them.

I Love Joe Jackson,but am sad that his talent - lyrics, melody, arrangement, are so long ago. This tune is bittersweet. Thanks for posting it
For some reason this song does give me almost a sad feeling of nostalgia. Great tune though.

sacred
Took me a while to find it...fuckin A
Hey Joe, why is your harmonica missing during the solo?
Oates on bass
No, it isn't. Graham Maby is the bass player.
Kevin Spacey looking.. 😁
Nothing needs to be said
La cagó...para desafinar...!!!
