“Hey, Joe” From the beginning, the cards were stacked against the Homecoming Concert News of who would be performing elicited a variety of responses When the name Joe Jackson was mentioned, many people asked. ''Who?” Those who were familiar with his music began to circulate rumors that he would perform without a band, and that he hadn't been well-received by audiences for one reason or anothet. Ticket sales got off to a slow start, and fresh memories of the Southside Johnny concert, cancelled due to lack of interest, provoked pessimism and wonder if there would be a concert at all In a more limited circle of people, word got around that Joe wouldn't do any In- terviews; for one thing, he had been sick and wasn't up to it Was he too sick to do the Satur day night concert7 Joe Jackson's road manager of five years.

There was something for everyone; cuts from all five of his albums, including a great many from the popular Look Sharp LP His wry. caustic humor became apparent as he bantered with the rowdy, but well-behaved audience Cries of “Hey Joe. Hey Joe. and. strangely. Nigel' were answered with lightly sarcastic responses from the singer himself, and his powerful mocking calls of Nigel. were applauded The good thing about the audiences is that they are usually well-behaved. Enfield stated They have a good lime, they sort of go crazy, but they don't smash things We always Ike people to be able to stand up.
