Joe Jackson - 25th Anniversary Special description
Joe Jackson's 25th Anniversary concert special is as delightful and surprising as the eclectic composer-performer's earlier Live in Tokyo. Despite the mood of career celebration, the live show looks like just another day at work for Jackson, who is less interested in reviving note-for-note old hits as in freshly re-arranging and re-discovering the soul of his repertoire. Witness the sinewy, funky enchantment of "Another World"; it's as if one is hearing this through-the-looking-glass tune anew. "Real Men" is built around an unlikely alliance of folk dirge and clipped, rhythmic energy--it's classic Jackson, pulling flavors from different menus and awakening the audience to an old song's perpetual immediacy. Even the chestnut "Is She Really Going Out with Him" playfully checks the original's pity-party petulance with an elegant Latin purr, while Jackson's percussion-heavy band makes one see steam rising from "Hell of a Town" and "Just Because." Highly recommended, and not just for Jackson cultists. --Tom Keogh |

This is very good DVD to add to your Joe Jackson Collection
|
| First of all, this should not be compared to "The Wall" or landmark works from the Talking Heads or Laurie Anderson. The simple truth is, while there are plenty of live Joe Jackson recordings, you just don't have a lot options to SEE Joe Jackson perform his craft live. And if you understand what motives Joe to perform, his live works are guaranteed to be a treat to his fans.This work blends the classic Joe Jackson sound of piano, bass guitar, percussion and strings on his the best works from his Night& Day II album and a blend of past favorites, with insight directly from Joe that shows a real passionate and human side to an artist that is not easy to get to know. Buy it and enjoy it. |
