Can you edit the spelling of the song title? It's YOU'RE not your. Great upload. Cheers.

To think that there was once a time when actual music was popular. Pop music has gone down the shitter.

I hope and pray every day that somebody will get up on stage and rock it out again. And, no, I don't mean a fucking ancient rock reunion group or anything like that. We need to keep rock music alive. What's wrong with the youth today?

[knownpleasures]

wow is this the same episode that showed joy division playing "transmission"???

[Reint25]

Wow, Foxton's bass sound is great here. Weller guitar sounds sweet, too.

[ccoleeds]

i loved how relaxed ric looks on this performance

[Razamataz89]

"Thanks to: The Jam, Joy Division" those must have been the days

[greene80s]

[rallydrummer]

rick buckler :) awesome drummer and great band of course

[rallydrummer]

thanks for uploading :)

[Reint25]

I'm almost sure that Johnny Marr used the riff Weller plays at 2:14 , for his This Charming Man (The Smiths). You can hear it in the studio version of this song.

[NotSoCurrentStuff]

wow... you may be right... but it kinda makes sense an awesome band (Smiths) possibly paying homage to this freakin' amazing song. The composers of The Smiths both liked The Jam didn't they?

[Reint25]

Oh yes! (Singer) Morrissey covered That's Entertainment, and described A Town Called malice as a ''timeless record''. And Johnny Marr recently played that same song on stage with Paul Weller.

[LrodJr]

Absolute legends!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[uglybus7]

weller was a genius at this point " you pull out some weed and the bullets are warm when your young" fucking brilliant lyrics and fucking great song!!!! what a band they were.

[leeraconteur]

Yes he was.

England at this time was unmatched for Rock Bands. From the other side of the pond I could just watch and revel in the genius that was springing up from behind every verge.

In the US you would to the local Record Shop and every freaking week there was a new 7" of brilliance arriving from England.

This lasted from 1977 to 1982 or abouts.

[Reint25]

Wow, this is fantastic.

[xjohnebagsx]

Havent tuned in for a number of years but still, simply the best!

[brpskidoo]

The jam playing live on TV, they sound great!

[dazmalski]

"They make you think you're King but you're really a pawn"

Class

[GWBsux]

Jesus...could Paul Weller be any cooler? This is great!!

[ferball415]

This is possibly the greatest episode of a music program ever. Watching the two bands' performances from completely different things (JD on here, The Jam on their DVD, etc.) is like piecing together the Grail Tablet in Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade.

[Justwhois]

Wo Ho!

[16MR]

The Jam and Joy Division on the same show.Thats like a Dexi and a Lude at the same time.

Seriosly,Too of the best ever!

[mickeythorn]

On the same programme as Joy Division. Aaah those were the days!!
