From the Jam
This came from the "Wake up the nation" tour. I think he sat in on only one or two gigs. This may be Wembley arena. Bruce played bass on a couple of tracks on the LP. They made contact again after several years following the sad death of Bruce's wife.

I don't think In The City as an album was that punky but as you say some of the tracks were rather fast. I suppose In the City as a track was released as a single as it was the most punky thing on there along with Art School and Takin my Love. Ironically I think they nicked the track title from a track off a Who album
Should have released Away from the Numbers IMHO - great track.
Also, I would have thought All around the World was recorded by then and could have go on the album rather than Batman.
I think Weller was though influenced by Punk on the album and Steve Brookes had recently left so he wanted to put his own stamp on the band,.
Not quite right.
In the city was the B side to I'm a boy by The Who. It's the only song credited to Moon/Entwistle as they were the only two members of the band to feature on the recording. The track has a strong surf/beach boys feel.
Batman was also covered by The Who on the Ready Steady Who EP, so presumably explains its inclusion on ITC.
The are other Who/Jam crossovers.
The Jam recorded So Sad About Us following the death of Keith Moon and was released as the B side to "Tube station".
The two worlds collided here!
The Jam recorded Disguises, that also featured on RSW.
Finally, The Jam covered Heatwave on Setting Sons. The Who recorded two versions, one was released on A Quick One.

Yeah, I knew they got In the City from The Who somewhere but couldn't think where.
I also didn't know The Who did Batman but I knew that The Kinks did.
Re Heatwave, i have that on a Japanese vinyl single along with Saturdays Kids - but I can't remember if I have two separate singles or whether it was double sided.
Just googled it - it's double sided and currently fetching £132
Although - when I just found that out I then googled The Day The World Turned Day-Glo which I have on orange vinyl, I thought that was worth around £200 but it's currently going for £8.99

And at least they could, or tried to play instruments.
I agree it was a great time to be about, very raw and exciting and some cracking tunes that will live on and on.
The pioneer bands of this generation often mention their musical influation as The Ramones, The Velvets, Iggy, etc etc.
It was also great times because the diversity of youth culture. Punks, Skins, Mods, Teds etc etc. This is all very sadly missed IMHO.
You could even add into the mix the Rasta style (admittedly imported from Jamaica), although it wasn't necessarily a youth movement.
Since the 90s, our youth and other culture seems to be largely imported from, or influenced by, the US.
As regards influences, the New York Dolls played a big part. They were managed near the end by Malcolm McLaren, and their attitude was clearly an influence on the Sex Pistols'. The Ramones were big fans, and clearly took from them the frenetic guitar style.
