I like this era of Joan Jett's music and the way she carries on with some of the older 1950's songs she grew up with but with her own style.  I really didn't pay as much attention to Joan Jett when I was younger even though I liked her music.  It was later, after hearing and collecting live shows, when I became more interested in her band's music.

The waveform looks great with no clipping and a lot of room for working with the files too if someone felt like doing that.  But the recording really doesn't need anything done to it other than playing it.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Joan Jett And The Blackhearts: 1987-06-06 Santa Cruz, CA (FLAC_AUD 1st Gen_1 CD)

This is an excellent sounding recording and performance by Joan Jett And The Blackhearts on their 1987 tour.  This was right between the the 1986 Good Music LP release and the 1988 Up Your Alley LP release.  With Jett's meshing of oldies songs with a rock 'n' roll newer sound in the 1980's, she rocked towns and countries playing by her own rules.

I remember the Up Your Alley LP release because I bought in the day it came out.  With songs on the new LP Like "Little Liar" and "I Still Dream About You", she was proving her days as a Runaway member and as well as her early 1980 and 1981 hits with songs like "I Love Rock 'N' Roll" and "Crimson And Clover" were not just flukes.  She still had talent and was not a one hit wonder.  Most fans already knew this by 1986, but for the ever belittling critics at the time, many were eating their words as they had not given her the best of reviews.  Critics seem to always get it wrong and be at odds with fans points of view.  It makes you wonder if they even would know what was good if it slapped them upside the head.  And that is still an ongoing problem today and one reason I put very little stock in write-ups many times.

I think the very first year I saw Joan Jett was in either 1987 or possibly 1988 in San Antonio, Texas.  I wasn't expecting to see her and had no recording equipment so I obviously didn't get to record the show.  In fact, I never got a chance to record her until 2006-05-2 at the Wildflower Festival up near Dallas, Texas.  And she still had it!  In fact, I was so impressed by her performance I got a second wind of collecting her shows and have collected quiet a few over the last 8 years.  I need to upload that show one of these days.

I still think that one of her most underrated albums released in 1994, Pure and Simple, has had some of her best work to date with songs like "As I Am" and "Brighter Day".  It was a completely different sound and style, and actually it was a side of her talent and song writing that was a heartfelt, more sincere, and personal side of here own life era she put to music I believe.  The LP/CD has some really excellent tracks.

Joan Jett is a touch chick!  It's too bad she's "batting for the other team" (to coin an old phrase).  But it isn't like I'd ever get closer to her than the front row anyhow :-)  But she has always been hot looking I think.  Even in her mid 50's nowadays, and thankfully growing her hair back out, she is a beautiful looking girl.  And one that can crank out the songs and sound just as great as she always has with that gritty, gutsy, and raw voice she is known for.

All thanks goes to "markp" for taping this show and then sharing it!  He did an excellent to superb job of capturing the show and the mix is awesome.  Joan Jett shows can many times be  messed up by rowdy and loud crowds.  But however he got this recording, he was able to keep the crowd noise to a minimum as the music plays.  This is one of the better, and possibly even the best, audience recordings I've heard from Jett's 1987 tour.  And I know you should like it too if you are a fan.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Joan Jett And The Blackhearts: 1984-12-31 New York, NY (DVD_Pro Shot/TV)

This is a really cool capture of a New Year's Eve party in 1984/85.  The times and people both were different in those days and it really shows in this concert MTV aired live on the 1984 New Year's Eve going into 1985 New Year's Day.

I first got this show a number of years back, but over time, my DVD build became corrupted and it also started skipping.  I've kept my eye open for another copy over the years, and to my surprise, I found an upgrade earlier this morning.  This video has a better picture quality than the first (second and third too) version I had of this concert.  I really enjoy this show for the music, the time period, and the whole packaged deal.

I've always liked Joan Jett from the time I first heard "I Love Rock 'N' Roll" and "Crimson And Clover" in the early 1980's.  And even though I bought an album or two in those days, I never really listened to her too much until the early to mid 1990's.  She has always been a beautiful female with an awesome voice.  And after she went out on her own in 1980 (I believe 1980), after her run with the band The Runaways, she only got more talented and better with her music.

The first time I saw Joan Jett was around 1990 at a music festival in San Antonio, Texas.  She, and her band too, sounded great.  It was many years before I saw here again at the Richardson, Texas 2006-05-20 Wildflower Festival where she headlined the main stage playing after The Gregg Rolie Band and Loverboy.  Here performance, one I recorded with a Sony MZ70 mini disc recorder and an external Sony ECM-917 microphone from up front on stage right, was an excellent show.  With better recording equipment nowadays, I hope to see her again someday soon.

Even with her short haircut and added tattoos (I don't like tattoos...nothing against anyone that has them, I just don't like them myself) through the years, as well as being in here 50's nowadays, she still has a beautiful face (and body) and an awesome voice that sounds just as great today.  She's still touring today.  In fact, I just got a superb audience recording of a show Joan Jett And The Blackhearts played a few days ago and it sounds like she and her band are still rocking good.

I like how Joan Jett was a child and fan of the 1950's - 1960's songs and how she incorporates them into many of her songs but plays them with a more rock 'n' roll style.  I've seen a few interviews with her where she talks about growing up listening to that music and how much she loves it.  And to this day, she still plays many of the oldies but with the Joan Jett And The Blackhearts style of music and singing.  I like it when an artist sticks by the music they love and keeps listening to it even after almost 40 years of touring and playing songs.  Of course, not all of Joan Jett's songs are from the oldies.  She has been making new music for years and it definitely has the undeniable Joan Jett sound and rockin' to it just like it always has.  By sticking to what she likes, while expanding her music too, I'd bet it is one of the main reasons she and her band can play it today with the sounds of yesterday.

One other thing I like about this show I'm uploading is the old MTV VJ's like Martha Quinn that are in it.  I always had the hots for her growing up.  David Lee Roth, no longer in Van Halen at the time of this show, also comes out on stage at the countdown to the new year.  If you were around in the 1980's and the DVD of the show and the audience clips (as well as ambiance) throughout it doesn't take you back in time, well, I'd be surprised!

I hope you enjoy this New York City live show and the blast from the past it provides those who get it...
