The Jam - Setting Sons - Brighton Centre 79

[1234andcounting]

a tad sugary 4 my taste

Really? There are some very strong protest songs on Our Favourite Shop - Stone's Throw Away, Stand Up Comic's Instructions, even A Man Of Great Promise (sweet melody, biting lyrics, great combination.

Fair enough. The trouble with/good thing about music is that there's too much to get a grip of all of it.

Amazing to have the whole Brighton gig but + £74 for a 3rd CD & DVD is pushing it just a bit. When are Aldi stocking it?

Love the album, loved the gig! Not sure but I saw them over 20 times and they just got better. Never forgave Paul for splitting them up so hated everything else thereafter. Childish but there you go. £90 is ouch but I know I'll get it sigh....

If he hadn't split up The Jam I think they'd have wound up like The Clash from 1982-86, as an irrelevance.

The Jam were absolutely awesome. Those Top Rank nights at the end of the 70s were MAGNIFICENT. There was so much energy in the music. Sky Arts have been showing some archive footage from 'So It Goes' and it reminds me how much I miss those days.
