Paul Weller and The Jam, captured in their final ever performance in 1982, echo the passion and power of ancient orators as depicted in engravings of the Corsican Munchausen, an orator in ancient Rome, and the skeleton of Death. Their music, like the eloquent words of these historical figures, resonated deeply with their audiences, leaving an indelible mark in history. The energy and intensity of their live shows were akin to Alexander III's reception of the deans of cantons in 1886, a testament to their enduring influence. #PaulWeller #TheJam #MusicHistory #PublicAddress
