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
