Joe Jackson has just released a new album - Rain and the concert tour has just started. He played Dublin last Friday night. Its our third time to see him in the Olympia in the last 5 years. The first time was for the Night and Day II tour, then we had the tour that was later recorded as Afterlife. As you can see from the set list below, this concert was very focused on the new album - which I have and would recommend.
We had a couple of curious covers - first we had ABBA's Knowing Me Knowing You - Joe introduced it as a slightly naff song which he has always liked., We have a video and will publish it when we get it on YouTube. The encore also had Frank Zappa's "Dirty Love" better kown in this house for the Freddie White version on "Do You Do".
As well as a good crop of photos - we got a video of "On Your Radio" and "Different for Girls", again to be published in due course.The band were his old reliables Dave Houghton on Drums and Graham Maby on Bass. They were with him way back when on Look Sharp and while Dave Houghton was missing from a lot of the albums until more recent years Graham Maby has been bass on all, as far as I can tell.
