Graham is brilliant. He's played with many other artists over the years, and says people often ask him why he doesn't *always* play in the style he uses with the J.J. Band. Of course different music calls for a bass part which suits it.
I used to play my bass in more or less the same style as players like Graham Maby, Bruce Thomas and Mick Carn.... So I see him as the partial godfather of my early bassplaying life. And I would still recommend any starter on the instrument to listen to his contributions to music, whatever style the starter would fancy him- or herself.
This great song is a testimony,why we should never pick on people,or disrespect them,when we are young.You never know, they just might turn into a Joe Jackson.
god i had forgotten this one...good tune and WHAT ENERGY. he's known to be a piano player but i didn't realize he plays the harmonica, too. like this one, slordy purdy.
Luc Gnomax---yep one of the greatest musicians of all time he started where he started and look at where he is now with the greatest musicians surrounding him mixing up the arrangements of his old songs along with this new stuff he has never put out anything bad it's nice to know that other people out there who know of Joe Jackson.
I remember when I first heard the look sharp album I was like wtf then went out and bought as few albums at that time and kept buying them and buying them as they came out. Like day from night I was going to all the wrong places then I stepped into another world. Don't quote that it's been awhile since I heard it and I have a few spliffs in me. But I think you all know what I meaning
Nothing is better than the origin. And this was very old good times. Fan, immerschon, seit den 80zigern. Manchmal waren wirklich Perlen beim Rockpalast, auch wenn manches nervte. Joe, ist wirklich einer der ganz Großen!! And still he is one the best of all times!!!
That is some fucking sick bass. Graham Maby had some serious chops- who was this guy? Second awesome bass player named Graham! (Reference (Edvard) Graham Lewis.)
Bass riffs
Special mention to Graham Maby on bass who has been playing bass with Joe since 1975

I know, what a player! The more I hear of him, the more in awe of him I am.

One of the most underappreciated bassists of all time...but so was this whole band!..They were so tight...in a jazz-like manner.
@@farmasyst Gary Sanford was no slouch on guitar either! You're correct sir, they were tight.
It's as though these early Joe Jackson audiences were not ready for just how cool Joe Jackson's show was. They seem struck into motionless silence.
That’s just German audience behavior
I think they would consider it improper to react before the properly announced time..
My god, the bass...
Only in Germany would they sit down to this, I would have been dancing on one of the speakers.
Joe had massive talent.
HAS
i was 6 years old when this show happened. this is my ultimate hero. :)
He’s the man!!!
I always had a mad crush on Joe Jackson. I think I still do.
Good Evening! Energy and Brilliance, Go Graham Maby play that BASS!! Ty for sharing!

Joe is such a gem!
Terribly underrated...
By those who don't understand a fucking music!
This album went to Number 22 in the US in '79. No way is(or was) Joe Jackson "underrated".

@@mustlovepretzels You're partially right. If Joe was 22 in '79, unfortunately his fame is not the one he should have.
thanks, great song, I attended his concert "Beat Crazy Tour" in Bologna, Italy, December 1, 1980.
you can really feel the angst of the lyrics in this performance
His evolution it's just incredible
So much energy. I love this song.
Awesome song!!!
Good Evening Joe Jackson and Band! Hope to hear from Joe Jackson again Soon!! Come On!!
WOW SO GOOD
This is great! Thanks for uploading this video.
Graham Maby 👍👍👍🙂

Fantastic stuff as always…
So much angst and energy in this superb live performance. Great way to stick it to those bullies!
Just a fan of Graham's playing !

Legend
Great social comment !
this is just so fucking good!
I place the sound of Graham at the same level than JJ Burnel Sound..just great.
Germany was not ready.
criminally ignored Gold.
HAHA, NOW THATS DIFFERENT
He looks a bit like Rob Halford here.
1980.
this song shouldve been a single from the "im the man" album
That is some fucking sick bass. Graham Maby had some serious chops- who was this guy?
Second awesome bass player named Graham! (Reference (Edvard) Graham Lewis.)
❤
I wish he would have said, “Please, stay seated.”
Bass driven kicks butt
Now that kids is how you make the bass your bitch. Graham Maby is amazing.
PURE NRG!
@ChuckMaidenMusic You are welcome.
jokes, the guitarist, is my old guitar teacher !
Album #2 from JJ was the best.
He should cover Radio Radio by Elvis Costello and Elvis should cover this
Great bass, Great song, The sound guy seems to not how to use compression right.
why never a single ?
Spitting on the stage was not good to see.
