Laughter & Lust Live is a live concert video by the British singer-songwriter and musician Joe Jackson, which was released on VHS and LaserDisc by Warner Music Vision in 1992.[1] Laughter & Lust Live was filmed on 20 September 1991 at the State Theatre in Sydney. It was the final concert of Jackson's world tour promoting his album Laughter & Lust.[2] In September 1992, the concert first aired on UK television on the BBC One channel.[3]
Critical reception
[edit]On its release, Brenda Herrmann of the Chicago Tribune considered the video to "show the perfectionist performer at his best - simply giving one heck of a show". She praised the "extremely able backup band" but was critical of the "mundane lighting" and the director's "frequent focus" on Mindy Jostyn. Herrmann concluded: "Jackson's commitment to sparking sound production and his fine songs provide great video entertainment".[4]
