Joe Jackson - 2022-07-22 - Saarlandhalle. Saarbruecken, Germany

No new record since his "Fools" tour in 2019, but the semi "amateurish rockband" intro made it clear from the beginning: this was to be a slightly different kind of show. Still a big bunch of "Fool" songs, but also some nice setlist variations.

My seat in row 19 wasn't a good starting point for hot rock action, but very close to the mixing desk (behind row 20), and thus a great spot for recording. Much better than my Karlsruhe 2019 attempt.

Concert postponed from 12 April 2022 / Congresshalle
