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.

I remember hearing Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" on the radio, thought it was good and bought the 8-track of Look Sharp. I loved the album. It was so much more than the quirky Anti-Pop of "Is She Realy Going Out With Him?". For me as a teenage musician wanting to write songs Look Sharp & I'm The Man were eye opening. I would put them as just as important to budding 1980s song writers as Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True or Patti Smith's Horses. Personally for me it sent me down a more raw approach to my lyrics and music. It helped when I started turning to writing Heavy Metal songs. I used the influences of what Patti Smith, Joe Jackson, Wendy O. Williams, Motörhead and The MC5 had taught me. It worked pretty good for me and a lot better for some others...Hope this energetic show helps you get over the hump this week....

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to edit track marks and raise the volume. No EQ or noise reduction was used.

I haven't seen this one too many places. It sounds great so don't miss out!

This version digitized and uploaded to the web by Hans Devente as a single flac file in 2014.  I chaptered the songs, normalized the levels, and removed a small amount of radio static.

Note:  Hans uses the date convention of M/D/YYYY pm his cassette case, I use the ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format.

This is a really nice sounding recording, and a hell of a show. This performance comes some 2 weeks after the release of the I'm The Man album. Joe and the band are in great spirits and firing on all cylinders as they rip through this high energy set.

At this early stage in his career Joe Jackson was lumped in with the other angry young British singer songwriters, Elvis Costello and Graham Parker, as angst ridden Punk Rockers. Like Costello and Parker, Jackson proved to be so much more. All 3 artists are cult figures in their own right. Jackson has not only released 2 of the 80's best Power Pop albums in Look Sharp and I'm The Man, but also delved in Reggae on the Beat Crazy LP and Swing & Jump Blues on the Jumpin' Jive LP. Even though Joe has had sizable hits with "Is She Realy Going Out With Him" and "Steppin' Out" real commercial success has eluded him, and that is fine with him. In the book "Cult Rockers: 150 of the most Controversial, Distinctive, Offbeat, Intriguing, Outrageous, and Championed Rock Musicians of All Time" Joe is quoted in a 1995 interview as saying .."I don't feel part of any particular genre or movement or scene, and I just want to be myself and be as unique as I can be. I feel more confident about that now than I  ever have".
