  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • in 1977 the jam changed my life...for the better...! this is the modern world...!!!

  • Powerful stuff.
