For the first time in her sustaining and mercurial career, Rickie Lee Jones will return to her beginnings and perform the music from her self-titled debut album and her follow-up project, Pirates, in their entirety, at the Bergen Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, December 8. The Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter will be joined by some special friends, many of whom performed on her original recordings.
Her 1979 debut record, Rickie Lee Jones, exploded on the charts with the success of the single, “Chuck E.’s In Love.” In 1981 Jones completed her second full album, Pirates, which also received critical and commercial success. Three decades later, both her singing and writing voices remain amongst the most distinctive and instantly recognizable in the industry.

Hi,
One of my favorite songs from my all-time favorite artist. It’s On Saturday Afternoons in 1963 from her first album.
The name of the album is Rickie Lee Jones!
looks like I’m too late but just in case you come accross more tickets
song = It’s On Saturday Afternoons in 1963
Album = Rickie Lee Jones
I saw her in concert at Carnegie hall in 1979 or 1980.
Too late for me too. Barb, do you need a date?
Sorry, threeputt,
My hubby has first dibs. He’s not a fan of her newer music, but he does like the first two albums. (I’m dating myself by saying albums! lol)
belletones: I wish I had seen her in concert in 1979 or 1980, but back then I was one of those girls “who listened to records all day in their rooms” and didn’t get to concerts! I’ve seen a few of her recent shows in NYC and Ridgewood. I can’t wait to see her again, would love to meet her!
Just to be precise, because I’m a stickler like that:
Song: On Saturday Afternoons in 1963
Album: Rickie Lee Jones
On Saturday Afternoons in 1963. It’s a wonderful song.
