From the Jam, G-Live

 

We had tickets for "From the Jam" - a Jam cover band with a difference as they have Bruce Foxton playing Bass and used to have Rick Buttler on drums as well.

As a "home" show the tickets were sold out and I had bought them several months ago. We were in the last row at the back of the circle which was great until a person a whole foot taller than me sat in the row in front! I had to lean over to look around him.

The skids were the support act with only Richard Jobson from the original line-up. He was very energetic and bounced around the stage, as they ran through a number of remembered tunes. His chat between songs was really not very interesting.

1. Charade
2. Of One Skin
3. The Saints Are Coming
4. Working for the Yankee Dollar
5. Destination Düsseldorf
6. Circus Games
7. TV Stars
8. Complete Control (The Clash cover)
9. Masquerade
10. Into the Valley

They left the stage after the audience participation to the the final song.
