Watching this on a Saturday evening in 2023, 41 years after they played this show. The tightness of the band and pure energy on display are just phenonmenal. Superb musicians showing us what live shows are all about. The Jam were on another level.
@@jax4538 i was listening to the Jam in 1980 in high school. Still love their music. All mod cons is only second to Quadraphinia as my favorite albums of all time.
The Jam were the very best! I first saw them live when they toured All Mod Cons and was hooked. Weller is a poet and still writes brilliant stuff. Genius!
I keep asking who plays today with this ferocity and intensity - a couple of good bands out there but way to many just dingle around some computer generated nonsense. This is the real deal jack
Great performance. The TV production is clear and without any of the 'artistic' elements that so many live video directors think they need to insert. If only more were of this quality even today.
Agreed. I despise those circular swooping camera moves. They try to make things look exciting, but what they cameramen are actually saying is "The music isn't exciting enough, so we need to spice it up." Not the case here!

A mix tape from a friend in the mainland to me surfer kid on Kauai introduced me to the JAM… I drove all over the island back in the early ‘80s with them and surfboard - thanks for this crisp straight up Jam’s upload.
The crowd is so kind, one guy is clapping with a beer (stein) in his other hand. Thanks for the upload! Grew up listening/loving the Jam I graduated in 1982.
Shame you didn't see them in 77,78 or 79. By this time the writing was already on the wall & Weller had already sorted out his 'solo' deal with Polydor.
Great to see. Clear and vivid. Nice performance. It's striking that although there were strong tracks in 1982, the best song here is In The Crowd from 1978.
THIS WAS AWESOME LIVE IN 1982 💪 " I BELIEVE IN LIFE & I BELIEVE IN LOVE💖 BUT THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE IN KEEPS TRYING TO PROVE ME WRONG " P.W GREAT🇬🇧 LYRICIST 👍👍👍
Je découvre ce concert ,ils se sépareront dans quelques mois ....le boss est telllement présent et incisif avec sa ricken au son dégueulasse mais au rendu puissant et précis, la basse qui rebondit comme une balle ...quel grand groupe ! Merci the Jam !
Не на , кого не похожая группа, со своим неповторимым почерком , казалось бы играют минимализм, но на самом деле их музыка разнообразна и современна до сих пор !!!❤❤❤
“Alright then love I’ll be off now. It’s back to the lunchbox and worker-management rows”. Could anyone else have written, much less gotten away with that line? Amazing band. In college, The Jam were my Five O’Clock Heroes.
''Running on the spot'' is such a corker of a Classic! 41 years ago I went downtown and bought the album instead of taking some written exams at the Uni. Neat British pressing that didn't make me regret flunking the subject - it still spins on the RP and i was only ''running on the spot'' for a couple of months, and finished the curriculum subject. Actually, ROTS musically reminds me of ''Setting Sons'', in a strange way, because no other track from The Gift has the same feeling. It's a very rich period for the Jam, and coincidently the path to their untimely demise.
👍Quite ! "Running on the Spot" is a rather unique song on The Gift and it would not have been out of place on Setting Sons or even Sound Affects. It remains my favourite track from The Gift. Setting Sons has always been my favourite of their six studio albums.
I agree - it's quintessential JAM sound: Coming in on the leading 8th note, driving like a train on the 16th and 32nd beats, layering on the harmonies and again blasting the complex minor chords across a bar, bar and a half maybe bar and three quarters. Quite catchy if I don't say
Brilliant band. Constantly analyzing the mostly hapless reality and daily hardships experienced by under-educated working class youth in the pre-dawn of Thatcher era, Britain . Even their optimistic songs were ironic and sad sounding. Pete Townsend expressed the opinion that they'd be better if they "lightened up." The Jam's whole career could be neatly summed up as the dark, heavily overcast, rain-soaked response to The Kinks' "Sunny Afternoon." But I'll always revere Paul Weller as the guy who wrote the greatest single line I've ever heard in a rock song, a pov moment when an angst-filled, strapped for cash teenage kid describes a night out in the city as "gettin' a cabbie, hoppin' on buses, readin' graffiti about slashed/ seat/air fares" in the song, "That's Entertainment." For me, not even Dylan himself could ever have expressed in a line of verse a more searing, explosive depiction of youthful longing, confusion, hopelessness, fear of violence, despair. The collision of images and neurotic emotions impact me still.
The Jam were the very best! I first saw them live when they toured All Mod Cons and was hooked. Weller is a poet and still writes brilliant stuff. Genius!
Trumpet player is hilarious-from 3:40-on just wetting his lips, adjusting. his position--all to play 4 notes less than 2 seconds long. What was he being paid for?
Running On The Spot was always a personal favourite 😍

Me too, watching it now for the first time. All mod cons❤
Greetings from Denver…11/11/23… These mod times that have untied🙏🏽
@@TheDharmaBarberhello denver where my old bandmate Jason H was a die hard jam fan
So true. And hardly known in the states which is amazing.

ポール・ウェラーは、どの時代、JAM、STYLE COUNCIL、ソロもすべてかっこいい! もちろん今の歳もかっこいい!
同意です！Agree with you totally!!
23 or 24 here with 5 years under his belt with the band and ready to make a complete left turn in the space of a year.
The Jam were the very best! I first saw them live when they toured All Mod Cons and was hooked. Weller is a poet and still writes brilliant stuff. Genius!
This is great! Danish TV, where they make bands actually play their songs and not lip sync, The Jam where more then up for it!
Saw these guys on my 19th bday (1981) standing on the armrests of the front row seats of the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. It was life changing.
Phenomenal! Current music doesn't hold a candle to this greatness!!
I keep asking who plays today with this ferocity and intensity - a couple of good bands out there but way to many just dingle around some computer generated nonsense. This is the real deal jack
最高の3人。Paul Wellerカッコ良すぎるね。the Gift の頃のライブ映像なんですね！
That clarity is unreal. So used to bad VHS stuff and this is incredible
Seriously. It’s like it was shot this week.
Great performance. The TV production is clear and without any of the 'artistic' elements that so many live video directors think they need to insert. If only more were of this quality even today.

The Jam was always THE band. Loved The Clash, Specials, The Beat, Smiths but The Jam….aaaaahhhhh, yes!
Right on 👌
I saw them 7 weeks later at the Kerrisdale Arena in Vancouver BC, STILL the most intense concert I've ever seen. 77 minutes too.
Shame you didn't see them in 77,78 or 79. By this time the writing was already on the wall & Weller had already sorted out his 'solo' deal with Polydor.
I saw them there too. I had previously seen them at The Commodore a couple of years earlier
The Jam - The Clash The Smiths and The Banshees - four of the most important bands to come ot of the UK 🎸
i will also add Joy Division/New Order, Buzzcocks, Magazine, Specials, The Fall.. From a swedish perspective
ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN,THE WATERBOYS, LLOYD COLE & THE COMMOTIONS AND JAMES TOO😮❤
And The Specials..
And The Specials...
not forgetting Big Country
Sounds amazing! You can actually hear Bruce’s Fender P-Bass quite clearly
He don't need no stinking Rickenbacker lol
yeah all in the technique :) @@lancecohen9950
Tremendously underrated bass player
Shut up u ignore knt@@lancecohen9950
Performance like that show the pure musicianship. No hiding behind effects when you are live like this!
Happy to be the 2.5k-th like... should be millions of views
Wow. Great performance. I never saw this. The band was playing so well. Powerful singing by Paul. This is just spectacular.
Great to see. Clear and vivid. Nice performance. It's striking that although there were strong tracks in 1982, the best song here is In The Crowd from 1978.
I thought "Ghosts" was worth the listen, too.
Definitely! One of the Modfather's finest.
All Mod Cons was the pinnacle.
Thank you! Enjoy good people with great taste :)
That bass playing is on another level.
I grew up with these guys mimicking their style and mood, but I never really appreciated their musical talent until later in life.
Best sounding live clip of the boys that I’ve ever seen. Thanks for remastering!!!
Thanks for posting, brilliant performance.
The best band around at that time, just a class above everyone.
Thank you very much for posting the full performance in quality! Priceless!
Imagine being in that audience, wow
Excellent quality 👍👍👍
Splendid recording. They sounded great live...they had thier shid together, they spent all thier time Jamming.
Just a brilliant band. The best I have ever seen. Broke my young heart when PW split them up, but he was right.
the jam just worked so well
Pure Dane gold. Just absolutely superb.
Best I've heard the gift played... Fantastic
THIS WAS AWESOME LIVE IN 1982 💪 " I BELIEVE IN LIFE & I BELIEVE IN LOVE💖 BUT THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE IN KEEPS TRYING TO PROVE ME WRONG " P.W GREAT🇬🇧 LYRICIST 👍👍👍
WELLER needs to be in the ROCK FAME. But unfortunately the Rock hall of Shame has no Taste when it comes down to ROCK MUSIC 😎👊
14:23 Town Called Malice
Sent shivers up my neck…..amazing! (Fan from across the pond 🇺🇸)
One of the bests songs ever written
Much better quality than the original. Good stuff.
Amazing quality thank you!
One of the greatest bands
THE GREATEST!!❤
Wish I was there, even though I was only 4 years old❤
Fantastic quality. So good! Many thanks.
Class clip - thanks. What a guitar sound
takes me back great tune with feeling he and the jam really mean it
Superb. What a band. 🎉🎉🎉
Much better quality, thanks!
Great quality, love it.

Fantastic, saw the Jam a week later in Nijmegen, Holland
Не на , кого не похожая группа, со своим неповторимым почерком , казалось бы играют минимализм, но на самом деле их музыка разнообразна и современна до сих пор !!!❤❤❤
What a band! What a gig!
Great performance, loads of songs from their fantastic final album
Great music. Cheers mates❤
This a treasure, thank you!!! ❤
Thank you.
Loved it!! 🥰
weller got it right - ended on a fantastic high - thank u
“GHOSTS” is the winner of this lot by a supernatural mile…
Brilliant.. Cheers mate … Jam at Bingley Hall would be nice 😜
Superb!! What a great quality!The Jam, The Best Band In This F... World!!
What s great performance.
Wow. Maximum Qualitat! Kudos.
One of the greatest unknown bands ever (in the US). Mr. Weller reminds me of Thom Yorke.
Great little gig
Great bass line on the song Precious. Check out Foxton grooving while playing the song's bass line.
Top of their game. Then gone. 😢❤
Absolutely Brilliant 👏 👌
Fantastic.
Aside from the jam the need to credit the organ player and the trumpet/tambourine player is also great.
“Alright then love I’ll be off now. It’s back to the lunchbox and worker-management rows”. Could anyone else have written, much less gotten away with that line? Amazing band. In college, The Jam were my Five O’Clock Heroes.
Love the guy jumping in the crowd
Pure energy, great sound.

Circus: A rough cut amalgam of Gang of Four, Madness, and U2!
Amazing ! Never saw them live big regret!
Superb!
Not seen that before. Awesome.
wow！青春時代思い出したよ!
Great stuff...
So tight ❤
what a great band !!
Thanx !!!
Wow, never seen this before.

Get well soon Bruce Foxton ❤
There's Just nothing ...Like It!, light hits elbows up nosedive.
The jam nobody gets near them music style saw them 1980 loch lomond they went off after 10minutes too much fights in crowd great days😢
Rick Buckler was such a fantastic part of their sound.
Marvellous
This is a shot in the arm, for sure!
Foxtons harmony is so fine
Outgrowing the jam live on stage
The style council was infantile in comparison really.
Wow!
The Jam were the very best! I first saw them live when they toured All Mod Cons and was hooked. Weller is a poet and still writes brilliant stuff. Genius!
Bring out the danish scones and pg tips ☕ tea.....😊
