I saw JJ radically change the arrangement to this song in 1982. I was in stunned silence. I’m glad that he continues to rework it. It’s always interesting when artists do this.
You're probably already aware but there are 3 completely different arrangements of this song on his Live 1980/86 album. This version is similar to the "acoustic" version from 1984 on that album. The "a cappella" version from 82/83 is awesome too!
Joe knows he would have gone insane years ago if he didn't do performances like this. But I would much rather the original with the guitar and metallic bass in it.

I saw Joe Jackson on his first US tour and he was fantastic....and it's because he keeps things fresh and interesting that he is still great live. This is a killer version of a great song and if it had sounded like this in 1979 it still would've been a hit.
My bald head and glasses in the front row. Left side. A phenomenal show.
As only Joe Jackson could. If you ever get the chance to see him GGGOOO!!!!!

I treasure the video of him doing this a capella on one of the Rock Goes To College programmes from the 80s. This is pretty special too.
OMGosh still brilliant after all these years.
Lovely to see gorgeous Joe again. Remember this first time round in 1979 when I had got married. My late hubby was quite jealous of my Joe fix. lol.
What an amazing version of a favorite song. "They say looks don't count for much, if so there goes your proof" What a great line!
Joe looks so dapper! Great musicians ; and I'd recognize Joe's voice anywhere
Keeping it fresh. No nostalgia. What separates the artists from the mere performers.
Looks like a really entertaining show.
The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang version of Rock and Roll!!
What fun! Great to see Mr Jackson still in action 😊
This is just beautiful.
He says that the Joe Jackson catalog won’t translate but I’d say “Stepping Out” Would translate.
How fun! Thank you for sharing this. Wish I could have seen it live!
Well, that was cool! Thanks for posting... g'day from Australia!!
Saw this show last month in Portsmouth, NH, it was great! Joe exploring old music and taking us for a beautiful ride…
This looks lovely!

Still got a fab voice after all these years.
This is pretty cool actually
funny bit ... and so wonderful !!
Awesome! Well done, Cheers....
Very cool.
Woohoo!! Simply great!
Epic Joe.
Have come to really love this song!
Saw the same show in Denver - fantastic. Come on Milwaukee, very subdued joining in at the end
Ha! It was a Monday night but no excuses! 😂
What is this project?

Disney Park Version
Yaaaah, I don't think so
He really has lost the plot
In your not so humble opinion….
@@andymccall6861 if you'd seen him at the Chequers Inn Lytchett Matravers in the early days you'd agree.
Judging by the people in the video standing at the front is there one there !

I saw him perform this version in Birmingham October 2024 and it was excellent. He is a brilliant and innovative singer,
