The Jam: Start!
On July 11, 1980 The Jam performed "Start!" and "Private Hell" on the ABC Saturday Night Live clone Friday's. Their energy is remarkably high considering the fact that they were on their way back from a tour of Japan. Even so, The Jam has yet to break the Top 100 on the US Billboard albums chart.
"Start!" was a new song they'd already recorded for their upcoming album Sound Affects. "Start!" had a "Taxman" bass riff, a "She Said, She Said" solo, and "Norwegian Wood" lyrics about a one night stand ( presumably--Weller has said it's about the Spanish Civil War). It would be a UK#1 hit in August.
Among the cast members of Friday's are Michael Richards, seated, and Larry David , standing far right. They would reunite for Seinfeld, a TV show you may have heard of.
