Unbelievable to think that Paul and the boys wrote masterpiece albums like All Mod Cons, Setting Sons and Sound Affects in their late teens and early early 20’s.
The Jam. One of the most important bands of our time ❤
Great live shows. Always turned up. Love Private Hell. Love the Kinks cover, love Going Underground…love’m all!!!
We were all slim in them days 🫡🫡🇬🇧
I've seen many concert clips of The Jam recently and this one is a great highlight of Rick Buckler's drumming. Nice to see a different perspective of the tightest trio in music history.
My first time seeing these...jaw-dropping performances at their best. The sound that these 3 made is spot on!!!
Still, to this day one of the very best!!!
Great video . I saw them in 1982 and they put on an amazing show. ❤
I would say these boys are
more relevant than ever

We are all Jam`
Great show! I saw the Jam play 5 times back in NY during the early 80s. Nice memories...my favorite band at the time!
Great to see the full version up here. One of Rick's finest filmed moments I think. What a class drummer. Who the hell voted it down ? Must be blind aswell as deaf.
Rick is on fire here.
I would love to see the pratt who down voted this aswell. I bet he's a right Rodney
One of the bands if not THE best bands ever. Thank you guys. I can't stop myself dancing and singing
I'm crying my stupid heart out now.... never seen this....just the best fucking band ever....
PURE CLASS NO OTHER BAND LIKE THE JAM. ABSOLUTELY LOVED WATCHING THIS.
you said it.
Wonderful how every now and then you come across a gem like this - thanks for uploading.
Wow! Nothing better than finding a 'new' live The Jam recording having watched all the other ones countless times. Thanks for uploading 👍
Exactly! I just found this in June 2021 and I’m so pumped to watch it!!
As brilliant as their albums are, the songs always took on new dimensions in live performance. Thanks for posting this great rare gem!
so true... best pop band ever in the studio, live they were a titanic force that was just explosive...
Thanyou for thisblessing
Great upload!! Thank you!
Great show. Thanks for uploading. Awesome to see these rare live shows. If I coulda seen any band from history live it'd probably be these guys, despite tough competition.
"Speed of life" from David Bowie in the intro is just pure gold 👌
I geeked over it. Low is my favorite Bowie album so I recognized it straight away.
I thought I was tripping when I first pulled this up. Wow.
rick at around 15.50 showing damn good passion on the drums,,,,that is a truly great performance
Set the house ablaze is the best tune, so dark and powerful
"Down In The Tube Station At Midnight" one of the best songs written in pop history,
In terms of British pop music, as important as The Beatles & Bowie. Weller was something else in his youth, I think he encapsulated "englishness" better than anyone and here they are, live, at their peak, and he was only 22.
Yes. Totally tight and alive. Their distinct "Britishness" set them apart as a serious group who took their roots seriously and never sold out.
...as important as The Beatles and Bowie... that's just silly
@@StripperLicker Is it? why?
@@versioncity1
It's hyperbolic. It's certainly reflective of your personal taste.
I\Your claim is somewhat ambigous, but I sure most would read "important" as "impactful," "influencial," "defining," or other such synonyms, in terms of being the seed or leading of a musical movement, or a foundation origins for fashion or musical style or new cultural awareness, or some such, of even paving the way for a new generation of people to make a permanent shift in what would come, in some manner or another, over the coming decades.
One would have to look at all aspects of both The Beatles and Bowie to analyze everything each had uniquely done relating to all those possible areas, then compare and contrast the influences and accomplishment, to derive some catagories or a list of sorts in order to determine some standard of just what that grandiose accolade of being "Important In Terms Of British Pop Music Means."
As for me, being a) steeped in British Pop for over half a century, b) a bit of an amateur historian of Rock Music (a term I think is more accurate and viable here) development over that time, c) having been (and still am) a huge fan of all three as the time they each emerged and staked their claim in the music industry and the public eye, and d) having been a professional musician during the heyday of The Jam (as somewhat of a Mod Punk myself), I can safely and definitively say that not only were The Jam (or Weller personally) NOT comparable in wth least within ANY catagory imaginable to either The Beatles or Bowie, they were not even as "important" as other British bands who arose in the same time frame within the musical zeitgeist they occupied.
Frankly, other than a smattering of 'rock journalist's' mentions of how The Jam might have been a wee different than many of the wave of other Brit bands in the mid-70's to 80's revitalisation of more direct Rock based highly on 60's British Invasion, and an occassional silly and unconvincing British journalistic musings along the lines of "Who are better? The Jam or The Clash?" (didn't we get enough of that foolishness a decade before in the "Beatles VS.The Stones" tropes???), there in no one anywhere who decribes The Jam as anything more than a Mod Revival band who had a string of popular singles in the UK, who could never translate their short-lived success to the world outside of The Isles, who disbanded at the height of their popularity, then faded away in a fond memory of a very short time in Rock Music history.
The truth is this, while being passionate, exciting live performers (I saw them live, and close up at that) with cathy tunes and often socially substantive lyrics and quite entertaining, Weller and The Jam were a MOD REVIVAL BAND. Weller was calculated in this, and it is nothing special. They were unoriginal and incredible derivative. They appealed to many British youths who simply wanted their own chance at entering a time machine and going back 10 years to be at an early Who or Kinks show, they had missed because they were wearing nappies at the time.
Don't get me wrong. I loved The Jam! I wore their records out. They embodied an urgency that was compelling! In those days I felt a kindred spirit to Weller, and admired their explosive. powerful delivery. I left their live perfomance drained yet energized! But frankly, so were MANY bands during that era
Yet, to attempt to compare them in any way with The Beatles or Bowie is just... silly. There is no other word, really.
Are you old enough to have seen The Jam "back in day"? If not, that is a shame. They were awesome
But, honestly they weren't above many of the outstanding bands of that era.
@@StripperLicker Thanks for the essay! - fair points and I would agree with most of it in many ways. However I think you put them down slightly for the sake of your argument. You are also looking at them from a very definite generational perspective and while that maybe true for you i don't think it necessarily is for others.
Like you I love all three mentioned, in a big way. I accept that certainly The jam were not as big impact, culturally and certainly not internationally as the other two, that goes without saying. However i do think they had, in some ways, an equal importance in terms of british Pop music which is how I phrased it originally, and for a purpose.
Sure they were derivative in many ways, but most bands are, the beatles were highly derivative in their early years of american rock'n'roll, buddy holly, chuck berry etc. Bowie nicked stuff left right and centre in his early years until he finally found his path in the early 70's. Likewise I seem to remember Weller stating that In the City was him re-writing My Generation. However like the others he evolved out from that. Admittedly not as wide ranging musically, but then the Beatles had 3 great talents within the band and Bowie had the gift of being a very good 'director' and choosing his musicians/producers very well. (Eno, Ronson, Fripp, Visconti etc) Weller was more confined to his own singular talent and using that within the band, which he himself saw the limitations of and thus ended the band in it's prime to move in a new direction.
So to get to the point..... lol.
The reason I think they were as important, is they communicated the voice of urban/suburban youth in a way that hadn't been done before and it opened up a side of Britishness that hadn't really been heard before.
Now sure, there are elements of the Kinks and the Who that you could easily say did that, but it was elements and quite different from the Jam, who dealt with that voice in the totality of their music. Also you could say punk did that. But that voice wasn't eloquent (apart from maybe the Clash) and I never really saw the jam as punk, which was mostly pretty shite. If you were there for those couple of years I'm sure it was great, but it hasn't stood the test of time.
No-one, I think, has really ever summed up britishness as weller did, nor the time and place as well as he did. His ability to do that was that of a poet not just a lyricist in a band.
So while the 'equal importance' might not be in obvious ways, in terms of British culture and British pop music I think it does stand with Bowie and the Beatles.
That's entertainment is just as important and equal to A day in the life.
And believe me I'm a f**king massive beatles and Bowie fan.
What a joy the Jam in concert.Ageless musical unity band and fans,I hate the term fans more friends and supporters bit of a family like.
Saw these guys a year later in 1981 at The Concert Hall in Toronto, and then met them purely by accident after the show while Paul Weller and Rick Buckler were trying to buy pizza at a Mr. Submarine.
Mods for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Jam at their best. Fing great.
Peak time for The Jam. Just f***ing awesome.
Great rare show with cool version of Kinks David Watts and of course Little Boy Soldiers is always fantastic with timeless lyrics! Nice upload, thanks booboo!
Thank you for your comment and checking my channel. ☺️
I'm sure your fav music is similar to mine.
"You're a blessed son of the British Empire, God's on our side and so is Washington" amazing after 40 years.
To the guy at 13:55 that screamed “FUCKING GET IN” me too guy, me too
Thanks for uploading this : )
Interview +100. Thanks for uploading.
uhh... don't get me wrong, all this unknown content to be uploaded is +++
sweet. thanks for posting mate
What a performance
The down in the tube station performance was perfect. Classic Jam.
So was private hell, better than ditam in my op
The best English band of all time, if you want to argue this , step outside
Impresionante
amazin set
Brilliant
I think they were very concerned that they werent big in europe at that stage!!! 😂
Great to see the lads havin a laugh an Weller in particular lookin as Cool as ya like - Without much further Ado - here's the Greatest Band in the fuc*in World
The Jam .
Classic Jam, fucking brilliant.
The late great Gilles Verlant is the presenter here. Belgian legend in rock journalism
4枚目のアルバム「セッティングサンズ」は別格品。
What a drummer Rick is!! Weller should never have split up The Jam
Rick was great he suited the Jam perfectly, but he had quite a military sound that would never have suited SC songs like 'Long Hot Summer'
@@Soup-Dragon1 That `angry young working class man 'sound would never have survived far into the 80's..nowhere to go after 6 albums . Steve White was a much better drumming choice to branch out into other styles with .
Erm…yes he should
Why the hell doesn't Welker swallow his pride and give tens of millions of people globally what they want - A REUNION!
Rick Butler kicked some serious butt on his drums and delivered an amazing range of moods on them, especially from “Set the House Ablaze” to “Little Boy Soldier.” I honestly think Weller started off cockey but ironically he lost track somewhere mid set. Weller eventually landed back in the groove thanks to steady rhythms laid out by Foxton and Buckler.

Best band in the fucking world
Very nice upload. I still have no idea why Weller insisted on the David Watts cover when they had a stack of high quality material, but, nonetheless, this is a fine gig.
I really dig that cover, even more so than the revered Kinks' original version, so I'm pretty glad they included it
It’s a damn good cover of a damn good song. It has a ton of energy and Weller’s voice sounds great on it.
My word they really were top draw weren't they!
"best band in the fucking world".....
Paul, Bruce and Rick! What can I say?
you cant say anything the best band of my life time
It's just too bad that a reunion is quite Impossible.
I always rated Buckler the better Jam bassist (1:37), but he was always busy on the drums (ahem)...
Pour la présentation, le regretté Gilles Verlant (trés juvenile) un peu moqué par Weller et sa bande .... is n'it?
Eh oui! Bien moqué et un peu incompris au niveau des questions qui semblent déconnectées des réponses
Why does the guitar keeps fading out in the mix its none existant. I bet it sounded amazing in the crowd though.
why stop ?
he split up because he wanted the jam to be a young group he sang for the young people in society and he didn’t want it to seem like there was old people singing for them. He was young himself which was why he spilt the band up when he turned into an adult x
Foxton and Buckler had no clue how lucky they were
They soon found out.
shut up you muppet
what a fucking stupid comment, greatest band ever -so much music, so much sound that the 3 of them could generate - but it was down to all 3 not just Weller
@@julieking9481 the holy trinity live in 1980 is as nostaligic magic as u can get. The jam the most important band of my youth. For someone who was 13 in 1980, the importance of the jam can never be understated. This is a great upload of them at their best.
Neither did Weller.
Fuck Grammerly. I'd never use their product if for no other reason they keep interrupting my videos. The Jam, on the other hand, are GREAT!
An ad?
I love Paul Weller, but breaking THE JAM and going style council, where was his mind? It's even worse then New order after JOY DIVISION
Yep he should just taken a break done a couple of solo albums or something and kept the Jam alive... Shit thing to do to his childhood 'Mates'
@@Crashed2023 right on

Totally authentic move by Weller . Still passionate and releasing albums 40 years later .
Clueless interviewer announced Bruce on drums and Rick on bass. And needs to learn how to keep it short! Nobody cares about what he’s saying, least of all the guys.
Wow, the first 5 minutes is terrible.
Typically awful broadcast sound mix from the day, would have been great to be in the room and getting a better mix from the live engineer.
Nobody in broadcasting ever thinks of that. How hard is it to send the mix thru an auxiliary output?
Those WAY oversized mounted toms look really stupid….and his Paiste Rudes sound very 1 dimensional and very tinny….Too bad..GREAL band!…..I have met Weller twice..Chicago and Detroit….
Awful sound quality!!
Yeah, the TV mix is pretty bad. Not enough guitar or bass, and Bruce's mic is louder than Paul's!
You have the balls to complain? We are lucky shows like this were preserved with video & audio intact, try to be more grateful.
its still the jam live, so what
It got a lot better after the first few minutes
Jesus, this mix is awful
