One month after The Clash\\u2014and from one Joe to another\\u2014I take in a second, very different five-star, three-hour show from Joe Jackson.\\xa0
This marathon set is the subject of Episode 19,\\xa0Night & Day.\\xa0 Once again, the effervescent triumvirate of Lady B, Le Chateau et moi take in another concert together: one that far surpassed all our expectations. \\xa0
And with the best view in the house.\\xa0 \\xa0
The music was ebullient, spirited and unforgettable, even if a certain someone was intermittently beset by curmudgeonness.\\xa0
This concert also marks my return to Alumni Hall on the campus of Western University for the first time since seeing Elvis Costello and the Attractions there in November 1978 (Episode 8, Concert no. 3).\\xa0 Luckily, the student rent-a-cops had officially chilled since then.\\xa0
Stay tuned for on-stage elbows, the bitter toll of insincere clapping, and going into Another World.\\xa0
\\xa0
Next on Stage: Three weeks after the Joe Jackson concert, Iggy Pop comes to town with Toronto\\u2019s bandaged electronic mummy, Nash the Slash, in tow.\\xa0
I first and finally got to see Iggy the previous year when he gave a spirited performance at Police Picnic \\u201981, a festival I covered in EP 15: The Boiler.\\xa0
So how did this second appearance, this time at the historic Wonderland Gardens, stack up against that first one from the previous year?\\xa0
Please return next time dear listeners for musical scuffles, pushed buttons, and a mini lake of spilled beer.\\xa0
