Album Description

AFTERLIFE documents a stunning live comeback for one of the classic bands of the post-punk era.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars this collection could have been better.......2006-09-14

i saw this tour twice and loved the show both times the performance is energenic and bright .the last time i saw this show the song selection was far better than the first.and this was a short tour so they should have waited to include more classic jj like SLOW SONG and HOME TOWN.But overall this is a pretty good taste of what the shortly reunited original JOE JACKSON BAND sounded like live.

1 out of 5 stars The boys are back in town - but we are not!.......2005-01-31

Every live album of JJ must be compared with the early 1981-86 live album. So... the old album is better in every aspect. The band brings us the same old punk music from the late 70's, that seems today old and almost boring. I have dusty vynil copies of all their old albums, and that CD won't change my mind, that JJ made the right desicion to leave the band behind, and to strart his solo career. By the way, don't offer me the band's new studio album.

5 out of 5 stars Joe Jackson Sounds Reinvigorated In The Afterlife!.......2004-05-04

This CD starts out with Joe Jackson performing "Steppin' Out" as a slow ballad, with only his piano for musical accompaniment. However, this is no unplugged concert. The band joins in for a scorching version of the next song, "One More Time," sounding as solid as they did back in the seventies. "Awkward Age," with its unusual melody and syncopation, fares the best of all the new songs in this concert. "Look Sharp!" and "Beat Crazy" feature strong playing by Gary Sanford (lead guitar), Graham Maby (bass guitar) and Dave Houghton (drums). "Down To London" is a melodic masterpiece, featuring Joe's keyboards and British sensibilities. The subject matter of "Sunday Papers" doesn't sound dated at all, and neither does the band, especially when they speed up the song for its frenzied ending. They barely slow down for a powerful rendition of "Don't Wanna Be Like That." The band warp into overdrive for the final song, "Got The Time," before crashing in a blaze of glory and feedback. The clarity of this live recording is remarkable. Be careful you don't blow out your speakers when you crank this album up, which is the only way to listen to it!

5 out of 5 stars A Happy Joe is a Rockin' Joe.......2004-04-09

I've seen almost all of Joe's concert tours over the years, and this album is the result of the tour that was the happiest, liveliest and purest of all. The great sound and great vibes come through loud and clear on this album. Essential for all of us devotees. Congrats to Joe and the guys. Can't wait for the next album/tour.

5 out of 5 stars I was there at the San Diego show.......2004-03-26

Trust me, this is the band at it's absolute best!
They were on fire and it shows on the album.
