I don't understand it when some people say Laughter and Lust is better than Blaze of Glory. That's like saying The Final Cut is better than The Dark Side of The Moon. Sure Lust is more accessible to the uneducated listener than Blaze, but it cannot compare (for me anyways) in terms of artistic and musical depth. This album is a god. My other favs are Big World, Body and Soul and I'm the Man. Thumbs up if you agree...
i was introduced to jjb when i was about 13 barin in mind im 32 now and considering all the new music thease days if i ever hear the band playing either radio or tv it always gets played till the end brilliant this song is
I saw his blaze of glory tour and thought it would be kind of lame...I'd never heard any of the songs before, I like to hear songs that I know damn it. It was one of the best concerts I ever saw. Had to go out and buy it.
I did catch this tour, it was HOLEYCRAP fantastic, I remember everyone really was into it, girls even took off their shirts and danced like crazy during the faster numbers (not nude though silly!). Very amazing to witness, really a high point in music. That was in 1989 and I can't stop listening to this record...amazing....

Thanks for posting! I caught the Laughter and Lust tour -- which was great, of course -- but I sure would have liked seeing the Blaze of Glory tour...as BoG is my fave JJ and, as noted earlier, criminally underappreciated. I must look to see if anyone has posted "Evil Empire" on YT (maybe you have, Darth)
I'm afraid I haven't posted any of his other songs, I've had requests to do so but keep forgetting haha. When I get around to it I'll put the entire Blaze Of Glory album up and make a playlist of it.
@tiefhals I DID see the Blaze Of Glory tour, and it was AMAZING! I took a Greyhound up to Sacramento from L.A. to see it, because I couldn't make it to the L.A. show. There were definitely more empty seats at that show than I've ever seen at a concert. Ten minutes before show time, I thought there might be more people on stage than in the audience. Joe mentioned the small turnout, and said that they would've played even if there were just ONE person there! They performed the ENTIRE album!
Joe Jackson is my favourite songwriter. "Blaze of glory" is one of his best album for sure, again with "Night and day" (1982), "Night music" (1994), "Rain" (2008), "Symphony no 1" (1999), "Body and soul" (1984) e "Beat crazy" (1980).
This is by far my favourite album of not just Joe's, but of all time. It's a masterpiece from start to finish, full of varying styles and emotions, the band is shit hot and Joe is on top of his game vocally and arranging-wise. I would love to know if anyone else agrees with me!
Haha and your comment is probably my favorite on the all of YouTube! but yea. it is a great album, the songs were recorded, mixed and arranged perfectly, this song and album really need to be listened to on a minimum of a $400 sound system to be able to fully appreciate the depth of the music.
To be a fan of JJ, one must maintain a flexibility of outlook and be prepared to appreciate a diversity of musical ideas. That said, I've always felt "Beat Crazy" was his masterpiece. Funny how songs from that album are in short supply on YouTube....
I've been looking for the song evil empire for ages,could you (if able an willing) please post it aswell?thx for this one in any case was wondering when someone would put this up,great song !
Any one know the guitar tab for this song? THanks.

Simply Magnificent. Joe is a Great Musician who is largely under-estimated imo.

"Johnny was so beautiful, he was like a god and we all went along for the ride."
I have every single album this man has made & this one is by far the best he will ever do.

I love this album but it is really hard to listen to as the whole album is one song. I am trying to find a way to break it up to put on my ipod.
