We are working on a new book The Jam - The Day I Was There which will tell the story of The Jam in the words of over 400 fans. With memories from the earliest shows at clubs and pubs through to the last ever gig. Told by the perspective of fans, promoters and support acts with personal photographs, memorabilia, anecdotes and stories that have never been published before.

Did you ever see The Jam and if so, would you like to share a story for the book?

Where are you from, where you living near the gig? And how did you get there?

How did you first hear The Jam, was it on the radio, TV or via friends?

Do you remember any stand out songs from the gig?

What is you favourite Jam track or album?

Where else did you see them and any memories from those gigs?

Thanks for your help. Leave your story here or email info@thisdayinmusic.com

Wish I had seen this posting earlier. And yes,I saw The Jam.

I saw The Jam on their first US tour when they played somewhere in NYC. It might have been the Beacon Theatre. I liked them, but they didn't blow me away. They had lots of high energy, that's for sure. Weller played Ricks, of course. They played tracks from the first two albums.
