With Paul Weller repeatedly saying he'd never entertain the idea of a The Jam reunion and drummer Rick Buckler no‎ longer in the line-up of From The Jam, bassist Bruce Foxton is the only original member still standing to satisfy what is clearly an insatiable demand from thousands of 50-somethings keen to relive their youth.

And why shouldn't he?

At a sold out Concorde 2 it was a miracle somebody didn't keel over in the moshpit as some people seemingly broke into a sweat for the first time since 1979.

From The Jam belted out a 90-minute blistering set dripping with passion, rebellion and attitude, ensuring this was more than a nostalgic exercise in pocket-lining‎.

The first half saw a quickfire run through The Jam's fourth album Setting Sons, 35 years after its release, with drummer‎ Steve Barnard singer and guitarist Russell Hastings proving worthy stand-ins alongside Foxton.

Things really got going when they belted out hit after hit with more style and swagger than most bands 40 years their junior.

And throughout the likes of Going Underground, When You're Young and Strange Town, every word was barked straight back in word perfect unison.

From The Jam might not be the real deal, but this performance proved they are a damn good runner-up.

And for those of us who never got to see The Jam, that's the best we're ever going to get.
