I'm a Joe Jackson fan and an XTC fan so this is just audio gold for my ears. I've seen Joe live a few times but was never lucky enough to get him doing Mayor of Simpleton during his "Joe's Piano Cover Bar" segment. This is by far my favorite XTC cover out of all of them I've heard. Joe's a musical genius just like Andy is.
Joe is quite the juicy singer!! My wife and I saw him about 12 years ago, standing from about 10 feet away, and she still jokes about how much he sprayed. I'm not criticizing though... I'm a lifelong JJ fan (and XTC too) and would love to see him again.
It was about 20 years ago when I saw him. One of the best concerts I've ever attended. I would have been happy to have him spray on me. And to now see him cover one of my all time favorite songs. Thanks to Louis for posting this video.
All that excess saliva is lubrication for a voice that is tuned and working well. He may have been spraying but I bet he sounded good. Dry mouth, bad sound....
It seems like something that Joe would do...its in their blood...the chords and melodies. Reggae artists would be able to finish each other's work...this is an example of that idea...exquisite...Joe now go and redo Imperial Bedroom lp !
First: this is brilliant. But Joe, do you have conversations with Andy Partridge about how to become lacking in appreciation? You are both heroes. Andy is my favourite songwriter ever. Joe wrote Stepping Out, one of the best songs
@@lorenzodicapo6305 l bet that im not the only fan with a crush that has endured his many ...permutations. he's hot like an 80s guest on buck Roger's. Kind of illicit, kind of Danish. Where pink and blue to his next show if u feel this way about him.

Unbelievable. Joe Jackson playing an XTC song, wow! Talk about crossover power. :D
Quite a compliment when Joe Jackson chooses one of your songs to sing...
Wow Joe… You “Look Sharp”… Great cover! Wish more people would give XTC more credit. They were great!!!
There's something so endearing about his version even with the sorta punchy and punk delivery of the vocals. Love it!
He did it justice, fair play!
I just love this!
love it when Joe cracks open an xtc cover!
Fair play Joe...a fantastic XTC song
Ooh. I love it when he plays mayor of simpleton! Completely delicious. I love that the fans are posting these videos.
always thought a Joe/Andy collab would be something else
lovely.

Cool as hell!
What a talent to cover a so pop song with her fast rhythm and turn her to a sort of classic music.
"Her"?? Joe Jackson is definitely a man.
Pfff lovely
❤
Sweet

@@lorenzodicapo6305 my dad was very sweet but I don't mean it THAT way.
@@batmanvsupermanyoutube925 ok then. This is the internet, though.
Can you get Peter Jackson to remove annoying audience noise?
I DESPISE woooo chicks. Destroying concerts for as long as I can remember and I'm pretty damn old.
