Bruce Foxton looks like the Paul McCartney of punk!

@Maxheadroom64pk Nice one, Unfortunately I was born ten years too late. I loved The Jam at the time, the first record I ever bought was 'Start' when it first came out. Unfortuately I was just a little kid and was too young to go see them. By the time I left school the new bands were The Stone Roses and The Mondays which were great but I wish i'dve been 10 years earlier!!

I was lucky enough to see their first concert in the 100 Club in London back in 77 and to see their last concert in Brighton in '83 (at least I think it was classed as the last at the time). I rode down to Brighton from Colchester on my Arthur Francis and met some other kids on the way (just like in Quadrophenia) and had one of the best experiences of my life (apart from the wife leaving me - that was good news ;-) ).
Long live The Jam.

@ianjrivers Well said Geezer!!
-
@ianjrivers Well said. But we still love mr weller. Correct?
-
i thought it was Paul it certainly sounds like him, he did a great job.
It felt like the Jam again.
Miles better than the carp Weller produces now.
-
It may not be the whole three but 2/3 is the best we can hope for to hear the tunes we love played live. I miss the Jam and would love to see Paul Weller realise he should go back to the boys who kick started his career.
-
I agree with ianjrivers ... and they look like they're having as much fun as the audience ...good on 'em
-
Agree



Rick Buckler and Bruce Foxton's contribution to the Jam was to make Weller's songs listenable, he was an average guitarist, a shouter singer, but a great songwriter, if he had an average rhythm section in the Jam, he would still be playing the Red Lion pub. He was lucky to have two great musicians with him, wish people would realise that.

Im only 22 so didn't get to see the original Jam in action but youtubing Weller as he is now, i dont think he would actually do "from the jam" any justice, with his now american singing voice. The songs wouldn't sound as they used to, and there would be another mass of people complaining about it. From the Jam are the closest we are going to get to that late 70's sound. Good luck to them.
