JustDave's Notes:
- As always a big Thank You to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music.

Known Faults:
- Pressing fault Side 2 during "Sunday Papers" gives the song a low thump-thump-thump sound.
- At the beginning of Side 2 the right channel is silent for .03 seconds since the left channel was too different from the right in sound to use as a patch, the drop out was left alone. Why make an odd sound to cover another odd sound?.

Recording Notes:
- Concert is hosted but like all other shows in the Westwood One Concerts & Specials the host doesn't identify himself.
- This concert has been released by Westwood One at least 3 times; Westwood One In Concert 83-02-X for air January 28, 1983: Westwood One Concerts & Specials PC-83-3 for air January 31, 1983: Joe Jackson/Concrete Blonde In Concert: New Rock 93-32 for air the week of August 2, 1993.
- The Westwood One In Concert 83-02-X has the most songs but is missing "Breaking Us In Two". Westwood One Concerts & Specials PC-83-3 has "Breaking Us In Two" but is missing "Target", "T.V. Age", "Beat Crazy", "Got The Time", "A Slow Song" and "I'm The Man". Joe Jackson/Concrete Blonde In Concert: New Rock 93-32 is missing "On The Radio", "Another World", "Fools In Love", "Target", "T.V. Age", "Got The Time", "A Slow Song" and the set list is in a completely different order.

Editing Notes:
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LPs prior to playback.
- A carbon fiber record brush, then a microfiber disc cleaner was used on the records prior to playback.
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash before playback.
- LPs cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System prior to playback.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Turntable balanced: Needle Tracking & Azimuth Set: Needle Pressure Digitally Dialed In.
- Soundcard stereo field maximized.
- Goldwave always set to record while filtering any offset.
- Recording and all editing done in 24bit/96khz.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with commercials and voiceovers.
- Declicked manually and some noise reduction used depending on what best served situation.

Other Notes:
- Joe Jackson Orpheum Theater, Boston, Massachusetts December 9, 1982 date listed on onamrecords.com, also on etree.com, setlist.fm, concertarchives.org, jj-archive.net, also discogs for the Westwood One In Concert record
- During the A cappella version of "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" the second time Joe sings "Look over there.." the audience screams "Where?" loud enough to make Joe miss his next line.

  1. Thanks so much for this one. I was starting to worry that you hadn't posted anything since the 3rd week of August, I hope you guys are alright! And I'm hoping that you liked my BTO concert that I sent you, that was a really fun show. Thanks again, G.

    1. You're welcome Gman! I hope You enjoy it. Sorry to worry You, as I was saying to Speedy from So Many Roads, I still get bouts of depression from losing my Dad. I bury myself in my show encoding. I loved the BTO show and will be sharing it soon on the site. Thank you!!

    2. Stay safe JD; breathe in and breathe out. Hugs also do wonders! ...and I'm glad you liked BTO. I just saw and recorded Rob Thomas here in Vegas, as well as the Scorpions show that I attended as part of their residency. Rob was just okay for me but the Scorpions were surprisingly good. I've got too many shows to catch up with and master... LOL
