content: As a Joe Jackson fan, this comes off as a major dissapointment. Joe pulls off a fairly uninspired striped down live album recorded at NYC's Joes Pub. While it's nice to hear some of the old standards again like "One More Time" and "Hometown", he also does Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo", which sounds out of place and sung painfully. His version of Steely Dan's "King Of The World" sounds strained. He should have put in "Any Major Dude" which he did so much better at The Bottom Line a few months before this gig. His musicianship is still very good, but you're left asking what's the point of this record? We can only hope that we get more of his quality stuff in "Night & Day II" due this fall.
