how lovely for those well behaved young fans back then to have been invited in, bet they are still made up over it. Fantastic gesture the Jam used to do. Top blokes !
I was there at Bingley ! Was billed as being their last gig ever, but then they played one last time at Brighton, just added on at the end as a Goodbye i guess ! I could not get down there (
Lois Tipping correct me if I’m wrong but I thought that gig was Sunday 21st March 1982 , they also played bingley hall the previous night on the Saturday but that one wasn’t filmed.
Saw they in Glasgow in early 1982 at the Apollo standing in the Queue with the damned album machine gun etiquette in a plastic bag getting slagged off mods
If it is Bingley Hall, I saw them the night before at the Manchester Apollo. Also 3 years earlier at Blackburn King Georges Hall with The Vapors as support support
soundcheck in leicester 81,they did a few they did a few songs then weller said 'any requests'....a few shouted jam songs out,when it went quiet my mate shouted 'my generation' on that weller left the stage...they were good sports though when they all signed the side panel of his vespa
Grandby Hall? I was there as well, they came off stage and chatted with us, I gave Rick a Benson & Hedges, had a chat with Paul and Bruce, photo as well, still have it, De Montfort sound check a year earlier in 1980 too, best days of my life!
what other band would /could do this.such a massive following in brum must explain why so many post's come from the bingley hall gig.though i am biased i refuse to complain.don't care where there the footage come's from, as long as it come's.
I went to the loo at the Brighton centre way before the gig started and a big hairy bloke came in and asked me and my mate if we wanted to go in for the sound check, of course we said yesss, little boy soldiers was the first full tune they checked... ah memories
simply one of the best songs EVER take the Blues and make it Cool Asif by magic I am a Wizard but not a magician I am at 2:02 furthest right- see how I did that? Fugg, I was bored and left a few minutes later- it was embarrassing how long my heroes took to tune up- the specially designed for music auditorium was truly terrible- must have been designed by an ex-QC big Ego'd twat
What a little gem 💎 thanks for posting. Is that the Bingley Agricultural Hall in Stafford? Also Thin Lizzie used to let us in to their SC’s. Happy days.😷😎😁
@@kindnessfirst9670 THIS COUNTRY WAS LIVING WITH STRKES,,CUT BACKS.POWER BLACK OUTS..AND AT TIMES THE U.K.WAS A VERY MISERABLE PLACE ON TOP OF UNEMPLOYMENT(LACK OF).. THATCHER WAS RUNNING THE COUNTRY.AND YEAH SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WAY WE WERE HAVING TO LIVE..AND THE JAM WAS SINGING ABOUT ALL THIS.😏 ..THANKS FOR YOUR REPY
Me too.. Birmingham, Stafford Leicester de montfort. All the London gigs as well . I went to all the 5 nights at Wembley at the end .. 3 of the nights on my own!! And last one at Brighton
Maybe Paul shoulda took Bruce to one side and said " sort yer hair out" or summat along those lines...Bruce was a great bass player snd backing singer, but maybe, back then, people couldn't see depth, in shallowness?
@Paulaner20 I was fifteen at the time. Didn't get to speak with them. Once the soundcheck finished they disappeared from stage and we all had to go back out onto the street. Great memory though.
(1) Why the coats inside? (2) Looks like a junior high school crowd. And not a large turnout, at that. (3) this is when the Jam became no-longer-the Jam, with the jazzed up ensemble.
Always let their fans into sound checks. Bloody brilliant. Looks like it as filmed yesterday
I was in one. Just me and my mate. That was it.
The Jam were so good, even when sound checking!
They cared so much about their fans and always let a few into sound checks. Top guys.
Went t see them on this tour at Newcastle city hall more people in their soundchecks than most bands today get at gigs .Legends.
how lovely for those well behaved young fans back then to have been invited in, bet they are still made up over it. Fantastic gesture the Jam used to do. Top blokes !
Cant believe how many they allowed in for a sound check..that is so good see, a band with a big heart!
Working class,peoples band!
I got in to see the check in Cardiff on the Sound Effects tour 1982? I remember they played Dreamtime
Weller: always the coolest cat in the room. Excellent post, Aceface!
Imagine we'd had access to this in the 80s and 90s. It was difficult enough to find snap on vhs. UA-cam is brilliant for this.
loved the soundchecks, really informal, fantastic memories...
Was at Whitleybay I've rink this in September 82
5:45 rip headphones users
Lol
Hilarious
haha
cant tell you how much I would have given to see this and be in a sound check.
I was there at Bingley ! Was billed as being their last gig ever, but then they played one last time at Brighton, just added on at the end as a Goodbye i guess ! I could not get down there (
still canny get over how great they were.
I was actually there, bunked off school to catch it what memories, best band in the world
Lois Tipping correct me if I’m wrong but I thought that gig was Sunday 21st March 1982 , they also played bingley hall the previous night on the Saturday but that one wasn’t filmed.
Me and a few pals bunked off Hammersmith odeon,the band were so kind about 30 or so of us for a good hour and a half magic 🇬🇧🍀👍
Iknow its auto wah but i still dont get how he plays the strings and gets the sound
How cold is it in there?! You can see his breath while he's singing. It'd suck to sound check in the cold like that but they still sound great!
Sunday night? I was at the sound check the Saturday... think he was wearing a red jacket? stood by him as a 16 year old, bottled it to talk....
Looks like whitley bay ice rink and me and my mates were at the front, happy days.
Oh thanks for posting this clip...so intimate. I'd personally would have liked to heard an entire "Tales from the Riverbank".
Brilliant post as usual Aceface! Keep em coming, where did you find this fella?
saw the last gig in Toronto , still have the tour brochure and The Gift record. Awesome.
sounds like ......that's entertainment
love this.
The jam today would fill stadiums
Definitely,they were the biggest-selling band in England when they split up.
They could easily have done it back then too but liked smaller venues more
@@greglyons2526they filled Wembley
theaceface, thank you, Sat or Sunday night mate? Thank you
This footage is now 40 yrs old, yet it looks like it could have been recorded this morning on a smartphone. What an amazing band.
Back when weller wasn't pretentious
Saw they in Glasgow in early 1982 at the Apollo standing in the Queue with the damned album machine gun etiquette in a plastic bag getting slagged off mods
I was lucky to see almost the same soundcheck in Toronto
But there was maybe 2 dozen of us. Lucky us!
If it is Bingley Hall, I saw them the night before at the Manchester Apollo. Also 3 years earlier at Blackburn King Georges Hall with The Vapors as support support
It's alright, his nail is a bit broken!. Wow this is the shizzle. Those boys on brass. Fucking amazing vid.
Wow excellent
A rare clip! Thanks!
Weller stole them pants, and Rupert wants them back!
Ohh, what i would give to have seen them live!

prefur this to overplayed Town called malice, underated song .
Bit sad how it's turning out ?

So cold in there you can see their breath!
Dave liddle there 5th season 👍
fuckin timeless. wot a band
sound check is like a soundtrack of my youth
at any point youre waiting for weller to say one...two...three...four...
Foxton with the 6 string piccolo bass!
so happy this was caught on film, lucky guys there watching this
Amazing. Thanks so much
There's something about it being hand-held that makes it seem strangely very recent, not 34 years ago.
Is the guitar sound on Precious an automatic wah? There's no pedal action.
Back in '82, probably a touch wah.. Boss TW1.
Auto wah yea
I saw them on this tour 👍
how cool is he
I went to the loo at the Brighton centre way before the gig started and a big hairy bloke came in and asked me and my mate if we wanted to go in for the sound check, of course we said yesss, little boy soldiers was the first full tune they checked... ah memories
still canny get over how great they were.
Which venue? Looks like Stafford bingley hall?
Dave Liddle in his Iron Maiden shirt!!! The Jam and Maiden, the two bands I grew up on!!!!
Remember seeing this tour at Queens Hall Leeds, similar spot, big car park normally but packed out for the concert
simply one of the best songs EVER
take the Blues and make it Cool
Asif by magic
I am a Wizard but not a magician
I am at 2:02 furthest right- see how I did that?
Fugg, I was bored and left a few minutes later- it was embarrassing how long my heroes took to tune up- the specially designed for music auditorium was truly terrible- must have been designed by an ex-QC big Ego'd twat
its i dont know? simply calming
This is great to see. Thank you.
Its so cold they had the coats on. Turn up the heat! Who are the blokes on the horns?
not much camaraderie between them here.
General Motors looks like it was dead between them no laughing
They all know it was at a end
And the band was being split up
Weller wanted to move on
What a little gem 💎 thanks for posting. Is that the Bingley Agricultural Hall in Stafford? Also Thin Lizzie used to let us in to their SC’s. Happy days.😷😎😁
@All Eyes On You Thanks, UA-cam descriptions, who knew 😆
Foxton ...the worlds coolest man in his crombie....
Great to see loyal Dave Liddle the guitar tech on a film clip.The best mod hippy punk metal tech nice gent.
cheers mate
Weller's guitar work, though.
Innocuous setting but he mashes Precious.
raw and genius
Where s that? Looks like the Ally Pally
More interesting than I first thought!👌🎵
No reaction from the crowd when they start playing "Precious"? Nothing? Why don't they know this song?
because "a town called mallice" is the only exit of the album
Banging tune
Why was it so cold in there? You can see their breath.

Great clip. Where was this filmed, Looks like Birmingham or Stafford Bingley Hall?
Birmingham's Bingley hall
I was there
@@marineboy1964 if its Birmingham me too.. Always at the sound check nicking 1/2 off work.
@@tomlangley2416
I still have my ticket stubs
Program
Tee shirts
I first seen them in 1978 picture house
On new street ,I have seen them a few times
The odeon
Me too.. Birmingham, Stafford Leicester de montfort. All the London gigs as well . I went to all the 5 nights at Wembley at the end .. 3 of the nights on my own!! And last one at Brighton
Im there in the crowd 🙈
do you see anything? Does your mind go blank in the humid sunshine?
Is that Stafford?
Incrível essa a banda
the riff at 2:39, what song is that
Tales From The Riverbank.
Yes y from the river bank
God, remember when I bought the album. I'd got the money for it by tapping the birds up at the youth club the night before
@All Eyes On You Haha! Yeah right,I must have been all of 14yrs old😉
Maybe Paul shoulda took Bruce to one side and said " sort yer hair out" or summat along those lines...Bruce was a great bass player snd backing singer, but maybe, back then, people couldn't see depth, in shallowness?
I am in that crowd somewhere

@Paulaner20 yes The Jam, Style Council and Weller solo has been teh soundtrack of my life. Great music and great diversity within that music
I’m guessing it helps with the acoustics for the sound check having an audience.
(1) Why the coats inside? (2) Looks like a junior high school crowd. And not a large turnout, at that. (3) this is when the Jam became no-longer-the Jam, with the jazzed up ensemble.
huskyjerk eh?
It Looked Freezing. Look at them breathing. Kids let to watch them rehearse.
huskyjerk Stupid comment!
It’s a sound check ... hours before the actual show .. they jus5 let some fans in.. the place was sold out later as was the whole farewell tour
