The Jam.in front of a crowd of 15000...Paul Weller was not happy with the sound and trashed some equipment onstage ultimately with Weller declaring that '..someone had stitched them up' (Friday August 25th 1978)
Fantastic! Saw them 3 times and consider myself lucky to have had that priveledge. Their raw energy is brilliantly captured in this footage. Thanks for posting x
I was there and it was clear Weller was unhappy, but I suspect I wasn't the only kid there who was thrilled to see a mod styled guitarist brutalize his Rickenbacker what ever the cause.. The whole afternoon/evening is a fond memory.
My dad was here and he told me about how they trashed the place to get from one stage to the other to see the jam

I saw "From the Jam" play at Reading earlier this month. Foxton recalled that 1978 was the last time he was in Reading and had fond memories.

The Jam live. If only that energy had been properly harnessed, the world's energy needs would have been met for decades.
Exceptional posting. Thanks for making this available.
