Howard Jones doing what EVERY artist needs to do Howard Jones one of the best 80's artists, and YES still records, in fact he's one of the best piano players ever. He is set to play a special 25th anniversary concert in the uk at the site of his first uk show, but the unique thing is, that the concert performance, will be available for purchase as a 3cd set right after the show, or for download from his site. Every artist needs to WAKE UP on this idea, it can be done, and not just by Pearl Jam. "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

Can you download it for free? No, but its smart because your loyal fans want as much as they can get, beat the bootleggers, this is something bands never could do, especially Prince, he missed the boat on this. He preached about "bank", imagine the "bank" he would have if he would sell his shows right after the event.

Bands have been doing this for awhile, and Pearl Jam isn't even the first.
Most record companies put the kabosh on it pretty quick though as they say it eats up their profits. | |

I Love it when Howard is just alone at the piano! For example, this LiveAid performance was probably the most understated and underrated moment of the show.... Hide and Seek ( Live at LiveAid) ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Howard is one of the most underrated artists from the 80's, still continuing to release good albums, tours, his playing is top notch.

I feel bad for the 80s teens and I don't know what goes into their heads when they see their 80s pix. My older sister looked like a broke ass Meli'sa Morgan with a clown 1/2 faced make-up.
I have a pic from '97, I looked a HOT in the summertime mess   and I thought I looked ghetto fabulous @ the time
My mother was the ONLY woman among us who had style, even then. She rocked the Jackee quaffed 'do with the thick ass red hoop earrings but she was STILL fabulous, honey 
Oh man, sistas made some WIIIIILD fashion statements in the 80s. And I'm not talking about the cover girls, I'm talking about your 'round-the-way dames esp the ones living in Qeeuns, Bronx and Harlem,,,,boooy  they were all the RAGE! | |

Prince would need 7 years to edit and recreate segments of each show before he finally decided not to release them Le prego di non toccare la macchina per favore! | |

"Things Can Only Get Better" (1985) 
One of my favorite 80s pop songs! Gotta love that "oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh" chorus/hook | |
