She was awesome because her live performances were mad quality and in tune! She's a damn good musician and a beast to be reckoned with on stage! A true QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU JOAN JETT!!!!!
Yes I agree, people really need to hear (and see, if possible) the live versions of her songs, to get the full impact. I like the studio versions fine, but live, there's just an extra vigor and vocal energy. I also feel this way about the Runaways.
This was 1981 at Fireman’s Memorial Park in Hempstead , Long Island NY. I’m there in the crowd , it rained but we had a blast. . In fact , I bought her album out of the WLIR “Air-van” and still have it. Also , went to see Greg Kihn Band a few weeks later , same spot!
That’s cool you were there. I wonder if Jimmy Lyon was playing guitar for Greg Kihn then. He was in Eddie Money’s band . He played on Eddie Money’s first album. Played the solo on the song Life For The Taking. He had his pilot’s license since he was young. He quit playing in bands and started flying commercial jets for a living, then he started playing again. A really good guitar player.
Saw Joan in 87 and then in 91 she really puts on a great powerful performance her guitar 🎸 playing is underrated and she really knows her stuff and the Runaways were underrated they were perfect for the time in the 70's Joan, Cherie, Sandy, Lita and Jackie plus Vickie Blue RIP Sandy ❤️🕊️🌹🥁
omg - seen her like in 1982 or so at surf ballroom in clear lake - right up front - her sweat flying all over hotter than hell in there - the stage was so low it was like she was on the floor with us....... AWESOME - still have the ticket
Just watched Bad Reputation a Joan Jett Story. Man I almost forgot how good she is and how awesome she was in her younger early days...man she can play with the best of them
I've been following Joan ever since the Runaways. We're the same age, and in the 80's some of the girls used to show up at my band's gigs in Hollywood. In any case, the band in this video was the best band Joan ever had, in my opinion.
They're definitely the best looking. Now, her band members have spiky hair and are filled with tattoos. I don't know why so may rockers adopt that look. As this shows, one can rock without that. That being said, I might hate tattoos, but I love Joan's. They are very tasteful, as far as tattoos go. I just hope she sticks to what she's got and doesn't over-do it with more. Besides, I love her skin.
its just joanie. i love the cut in parts where shes just messed up. My GF met her like that in the 80s. i met her in Milwaukee 08. Shes still the best female voice ever.
Rock n Roll Guitar, high volume, high energy, high intensity.....One of the best shows live.....anywhere, anytime.....Joan Jett and The Blackhearts in New York.....
Yeah. One of my favorite vids. The plugs for the radio station are funny. Like she wakes up in the morning dressed like Joan Jett. Lololol. This vid cheers me up. Cheers
I like the studio versions fine, but yeah, there's an extra vigor and vocal energy in these live versions. I feel that, to get the full impact of both the Joan Jett & the BH stuff and the Runaways, you need to hear the live versions of the songs. And see the performances, if possible.
Back in 83 I cut all my hair off and did her hair cut, my husband hated it,a biker thing back then.. but hey it grew back but I loved it cuz I was a badass and Loved Joan Jett,Always!..
I was there....WLIR. long islands original new wave station..... Brings back a lot of memories me Joan used to hang out at the beach in Long Beach before I love rock and roll
🙏 thank you- Joan Jett. I’ve gone through some things. A handful of artists Have lifted me most of my way. You were on top of them all, /my first call & first human to hit my boom box the day it all began. (Then Metallica, Megadeth, stray cats, DRI, and a few others .) Of all the musicians who held me (up) with what I needed to get by in this world. It was you I ran too when the unspeakable moments were at their worst. You were the one I alway held onto more than any other, from the start of the whole “mess” that begins my walk with 🪄✝️✒️ Recovery of my repressed memories was way easier because of your presence from the beginning. So, my Lady thanks on behalf of all us rockers who need you more than any other. Tommy
I was not really thinking about the Lyrics to Bad Reputation, but my dance teacher said I could not use it for a recital, we decided on I love Rock and Roll. Then it ended up being a song the whole class did a routine too. I wanted that too be my solo, and acrobatic number. When I taught in dance studio, and I used I love Rock and Roll, by Britney Spears, the students wanted the Joan Jett version, because Joan Jett put her soul into her song.
Saw her at the Boathouse in Norfolk, VA around 84. SRO and Joan and the band were on fire. I threw my winter scarf to her but she didn't put it on. Haha
I am obsessed with Joan Jett! But does anyone else think that their version of Summertime Blues sounds exactly like Bad Reputation? I love it anyway but all I heard is.. Well I don't give a damn bout my reputation!
I saw them at the Liberty Bowl in 1982. They didn't play very long (like 7 or 8 songs, the headliners where Kansas and REO) but they definitely rocked it.
Since you all are avid fans (like me) do any of you know the scary movie she played in? She is the bartender in the horror movie. I want to see that movie again. I love Joan Jett.
Definitley on Long Island .. WLIR / 92.7 was a Long Island station known for underground Rock from the mid 70's until it changed formats in the late 80's. That would put this concert somewhere around 1983-1987. There are many "Fireman's Fields" here on the Island so I can pinpoint which town she is in. She does live here in Long Beach and has a place in Rockville Centre as well.
She was awesome because her live performances were mad quality and in tune! She's a damn good musician and a beast to be reckoned with on stage! A true QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU JOAN JETT!!!!!

That’s the spring I got her album too. It’s in my soul
I was there.I was only 13
That’s cool you were there. I wonder if Jimmy Lyon was playing guitar for Greg Kihn then.

A really good guitar player.
Joan Jett understands what rock music is and does.
Saw Joan in 87 and then in 91 she really puts on a great powerful performance her guitar 🎸 playing is underrated and she really knows her stuff and the Runaways were underrated they were perfect for the time in the 70's Joan, Cherie, Sandy, Lita and Jackie plus Vickie Blue RIP Sandy ❤️🕊️🌹🥁

Hope you got splashed by some of that sweat 😉😜
Thank you for all of your music Joan Jett--so beautiful and such a good singing voice...we love you!
Just love her raw talent. THE most amazing version of Crimson and Clover ever!
What's not to love?
Pure raw and fierce Joanness in this performance. Love it!
Still rockin' like ever in 2020
Just watched Bad Reputation a Joan Jett Story. Man I almost forgot how good she is and how awesome she was in her younger early days...man she can play with the best of them

Gary Ryan is one of my bass heroes and a big influence!!👍🏽😎
James Lenahan. Youth talent and unbridled enthusiasm plays a big part imo. Also they look great!! Classic lineup.
its just joanie. i love the cut in parts where shes just messed up. My GF met her like that in the 80s. i met her in Milwaukee 08. Shes still the best female voice ever.
I’ve been following Joan just for a few years.. she was coming to Japan in the year when I was born.. wish she could be my mom xxxx
I grew up in the 80's and would always listen to "I love rock n roll" and crimson and clover. I miss the 80's!
何回も何回も見てます‼️ 若かりし頃の最高のジョーンジェットと感じれます‼️‼️ 動画ありがとう❗
The best sound I ever heard

Awesome footage of our goddess

I was there....WLIR. long islands original new wave station..... Brings back a lot of memories me Joan used to hang out at the beach in Long Beach before I love rock and roll
sounds awesome. 1980s concerts sounded the best with analog equipment.
Agreed
The reason is that you are old. Has noting to do with analog vs digital. I know, because I'm old too.
I was there 13 years old.
Walked from Long Beach,Ny to Hempstead fireman's memorial park in Hempstead,NY
🙏 thank you- Joan Jett.
I’ve gone through some things.
A handful of artists Have lifted me most of my way. You were on top of them all, /my first call & first human to hit my boom box the day it all began. (Then Metallica, Megadeth, stray cats, DRI, and a few others .)
Of all the musicians who held me (up) with what I needed to get by in this world. It was you I ran too when the unspeakable moments were at their worst.

Recovery of my repressed memories was way easier because of your presence from the beginning.
So, my Lady thanks on behalf of all us rockers who need you more than any other.

I am obsessed with Joan Jett! But does anyone else think that their version of Summertime Blues sounds exactly like Bad Reputation? I love it anyway but all I heard is.. Well I don't give a damn bout my reputation!
That stuff got a name : Punk Rock. ;)
Yes it does sound like bad rep.
good stuff.
Strong Island in the house!!!
I saw them at the Liberty Bowl in 1982. They didn't play very long (like 7 or 8 songs, the headliners where Kansas and REO) but they definitely rocked it.
She always Rock,s But let me say in that time Kansas or Boston either one were the cream of the crop so if they ripped out 7/8 set they were Bad Ass💥💫
Woohoo, awesome
She's even better now
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOAN 🕯️

Erik Carlson she’s bi
She's like those new beans they come out with. They''re called les beans...they are so good that they eat each other !

Since you all are avid fans (like me) do any of you know the scary movie she played in? She is the bartender in the horror movie. I want to see that movie again. I love Joan Jett.

+Jeff Foglietta With Eric Ambel? No way it's '83.
This is Fireman's Field in Valley Stream.
chris Chris what an asshat
Jeff Foglietta WLIR broke U2 in United States . Nobody here heard of them in 1980 . WLIR were playing them in '80 . The screamer of the week !!!
This was 1981 , I was there.. 👍
can't see her one aging 20 year later
Excelente
Jettigre, God bless you
