On 2nd May 2007 two thirds of the original line-up of The Jam will make history when they reform for their first official UK tour in 25 years. Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler's 20-date UK tour will be the first live shows since the original Jam disbanded after they performed what was to be their final concert (Brighton, England, December 1982).

Bring it on

 

just goes to show how important a small fraction can be, no Weller, at least he has realised he's not 19 anymore.

PS I saw them in 1979

 

Pretty pointless without Weller one would feel

sticky one really...

would be sweet to see them play together again!

Only 2 of them and all those tour dates they could be spreading themsleves a bit thin?

 

wow! wellers gone all soft these days anyway! i dont care if bruce and rik are doing it just for the dosh it will be great!!

wheres the date and venue list?

i just missed the jam era i was a massive smiths fan now if they were to reform???

 

Bruce sung lead vocals on a few Jam tracks... At least Those numbers are going to sound authentic

 

yeah but they all said that about Robbie Wi...... Ok Im gone

Live Nation - From The Jam 2007 Tour

 

Weller is The Jam. pointless without him.

 

cheers deano

 

I was there for their last show in Brighton - missed the last train home! Had planned to see them again earlier this year - the 'new' Jam was only with one band member but it split up a week before they were due to play in Glouceser :-( and this new line-up - now with 2 X members doens't seem to be coming to Glos.

 

Id love to see them!!! Would be better if they all played together but as someone has already said Bruce sung lead on quite a few songs so wont be a let down!!

Dont egos **** you off?


Who are Oasis these days??? Only Liam and Noel....had many line ups since I saw them a Nebworth in '94 (ish)

 

I wonder what Davie Watts is up to? Married with kids? On the scrapheap?

 

Living with Billy Hunt

 

Is it like the Cure without Robert Smith, U2 without Bono, REM without Michael Stipe, Blur without Damon Albarn, Oasis without the brothers, Pulp without Jarvis Cocker and so on....

I suspect they're all short on cash.

 

In a Town Called Malice

 

Now that would be entertainment

 

Well it would certainly be a Start.

 

Definately, maybe


Doh!!!

 

Whilst we are here.....

Essential purchase below

Amazon.co.uk: Direction Reaction Creation: +Book: Music: The Jam

 

It's a good box set, but no live stuff... For that you need to take a listen to Live at the BBC - loads of tracks on that disc...awsome stuff.

On a lighter note, I saw The Jamm tribute act a couple of weeks ago in Lyme Regis. Plenty of 30 something mods in the crowd. They did o.k.
