The official announcement clearly states that two thirds of the original line up (Foxton and Buckler) will be going on the road under the moniker of "From The Jam: Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler". They will be performing all of the Jam's best known songs. What's more, tickets went on sale for 20 UK shows in May, and I think the entire tour is virtually sold out within 48 hours. Jam fans have been demanding that the original band performs the songs in concert. The fact remains that many Jam fans are happy to pay to see two thirds of the original line-up do their thing. Weller has said in the past that he doesn't want to do a reunion, however, the fact that this tour is selling out leads me to believe that the Jam's music mean more to people, now, more than ever before. Weller wrote the majority of songs and he'd be a fool not to join in for the fun and excitement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395123.post-50694877186298878842007-02-23T11:16:00.000-05:002007-02-23T11:16:00.000-05:00I agree with Henry, as well.

Obviously this is a stretch, and I am not intentionally making a comparison of the two bands, but I kind of agree with Henry.<BR/><BR/>TeacherfriendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395123.post-48582608030562783342007-02-23T09:51:00.000-05:002007-02-23T09:51:00.000-05:00Is this really an advanced act?

Because it seems to me any notion of advancement usually isn't based on the band, but on the actions of a primary creative figure in the band (Bono, Lou, Iggy). Paul Weller, I think, certainly is advanced if you consider his post-Jam career (check out his Wikipedia entry for a refresher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Weller) , and obviously reunions are advanced, but is it really advanced of the rest of the band to get together without him?<BR/><BR/>henryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
