Since no one else has posted anything about the show, I'll take a stab. Joe Jackson is great, extremely talented, a gifted pianist, and the band were fantastic. My issue was with his fans, most of who were obnoxiously loud, talked more and more as the night went on, and couldn't stand in one spot. I had about 6 people literally walk right into me last night, and it wasn't even crowded. I guess maybe some people don't get out to concerts much and thus aren't socially conditioned. But why drop 40 clams to go to a concert when you're just going to stand there to drink, smoke, talk, and not even listen to the music? It's not like it was a loud rock show. It was pretty disappointing to me that people would go to a show and behave like that. But the fact of the matter is the minute you walk through that door of the club, you're not entering what is just a bar...it is a concert venue, and there are musicians on stage who deserve some degree of respect and attention. Why bother going at all if you could do what you are doing across the street in the Irish place? You'd have a hell of a lot more money for booze.
