I went to Zürich and attended the live concert of Joe Jackson („Hope & Fury“) at Kaufleuten. He performed very well. It is impressive how he maintains his singing voice so pretty good with 72 years. The two drummers, the guitar player as well as the long time bassist supported him in a perfect way.

He played wonderful songs of the 80ies, some nice songs from “Fool” and from the latest Lp “Hope & Fury”. He said the best song might be “At the end of the pier”. It is good, reminds him of his youth, but I disagree with him: The best song on „Hope & Fury“ is definitely „Beautiful People”!

We should wait some time and do expect a great live album of Joe Jackson’s 2026 tour.

Next morning…with Schoki
