RIP Ace Face, The rest were just 3rd class tickets. Magic piece of drumming by rick throughout this track.
Rick pictured with sundry QPR fan in 'When you're young'
edit; there's a great video of Rick running down a street in an early Jam Video. He has the exact same running style as Dennis waterman in 'Minder' , looked a bit like him as well. Wish i could remember which track it was
Sad news and as said earlier an integral part of this tight band (even with the presence of Weller and Foxton out front). Only 69, young these days and thoughts with all his family, but what an incredible legacy in era defining music he created and left for all to enjoy. RIP Rick.

RIP our Rick, when the news broke, i was gutted and cried. i met him a few times, he was polite, patient, very nice. no airs and graces. i avidly followed the JAM from 78 but had seen them and noted them on tv in 77, especially them on the MARC ( bolan) show. sadly Bruce is quite ill too. many talk of how the jam let the fans in for the sound checks, stayed to sign things and chat to fans, who were mostly kids , how john , their manager also looked out for the fans . he has a twin brother , Pete . condolences to the family. many talk of his drumming on funeral pyre but i was playing Move On Up last night , curtis mayfield song they covered , epic stuff.

Running on the spot. For DD, and everyone else on here. Rather than it being an early track it’s probably one of the last videos the Jam made. Rick always reminded me of Waterman in Minder too. And fittingly this video is filmed around the same Shepherds Bush back streets that Minder and The Sweeney were. Pretty sure it’s Milson Road off Masbro Road.
Love this tune (More Weller’s department but the lyrics get more poignant each passing year) I still play it often. Buckler’s drums drive the song through. Loved the Jam, one of the best bands. RIP Rick Bucker.

yes!, thats the one!, the mind plays tricks on me, i thought it was an earlier track..
thanks for uploading Dan, you have bought me great joy this morning watching it .
Sad news, great drummer, great band. Lucky enough to see them live from about ‘78 onwards. That video is from ‘Absolute Beginners’ though, Running on the spot was an album track

@ mostly kids
The Jam were a kids' band. I was 16 when I first saw them, at the Rainbow, Setting Sons tour, December 1979. They were barely more than kids themselves.
Cos the kids know where it's at... as In The City told us...
Anyone else here bump into them on the back of a lorry at the rear of the Savoy, on a 1981 cnd March?
What a bonus that was! My brother and I accidently pitched up right at the front of that audience...
Edit: fuller story. We saw a flatbed with drums and amps set up, and agreed to stick around to see what was going on... someone opened a silver flight case, which revealed 'The Jam' stencilled on the lid. Still didn't really suppose it would be them tho.
There was no one around at this point.
We sat on a couple of croud barriers, right at the stage.
Some time later, John Weller chambered on the truck.
'What have we come here for today?'
'The Jam!' Came the reply from the several dozen now gathered...
'No,' said JW, 'CND!'
Then, the boys themselves got up on the truck. Pertinent to some of the above, I've always remembered someone shouting 'Absolute Beginners!' As they attempted to get the amps going. Bruce sardonically rolled his eyes, and said, 'precisely..'
Anyway, The Jam played two half hour sets, with Nine Below Zero (whose live Marquee album I was madly in to at that time), Vaughan Tolouse, some whippersnappers called Apocalypse and possibly something else separating them.
Looking behind us, by now there were thousands of spectators stretching up the Embankment, to marvel at possibly the most popular band of the day playing there...
Not bad for one morning...
