LIVE JAM

There were only three official live albums by The Jam - the first was "Dig The New Breed" released in 1983, the featured album today "Live Jam" released 1993 and "The Jam at The BBC" released a few years ago. All live tracks on all albums are recorded between 1977 to 1982 with the exception of the bonus 3rd cd that was included on Live BBC release which was recorded full in concert at the Rainbow theater in London, April 1979. From an angry young mod to a more soulful and RnB inspired young man. For the rest of us, there is LIVE JAM, the closest thing available to actually being drenched in Paul Weller's sweat. While LIVE JAM concentrates mostly on the Jam's more soulful later years, it does not skimp on earlier favourites such as "Modern World" and "Mr. Clean". However, it is in the later, more nuanced material that LIVE JAM truly shines. Somehow the obvious tension in the band(Foxton and drummer Buckler vs. Weller) led to truly transcendent versions of "Down in the Tube Station At Midnight" and "Town Called Malice". This live album is a lasting testament to a brilliant band. Pure power and one of the best and influential band from England.The Jam - they are fucking brilliant. Fire and Skill! Play this loud!!!
