Steppin' Out with Joe (& Jo)


Mom and I went to the historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown LA last night to catch the Joe Jackson show. Really cool place (built in the '30s and in it's time was the premiere venue in downtown LA for stage show productions) in a really horrible part of town (now known as the "Fashion District" which is bustling by day and covered up by night). This was the last night of the US tour and Joe didn't disappoint. Had seen Joe solo several times in the past but this tour was a three piece with piano in lieu of lead guitar. For those of you who enjoy the finer points the set-list was:

1. Steppin' Out
2. Invisible Man
3. Not Here, Not Now
4. Rush Across The Road
5. Dirty Martini
6. Stranger Than Fiction
7. On Your Radio
8. Solo (So Low)
9. The Uptown Train
10. Chinatown/Caravan (Duke Ellington cover)
11. Scary Monsters (David Bowie cover)
12. It's Different For Girls
13. Good Bad Boy
14. You Can't Get What You Want
15. One More Time
16. A Place In The Rain

encore:
17. Is She Really Going Out With Him?
18. A Slow Song
