Originally released on All Mod Cons in 1978, "In the Crowd" reflected Paul Weller's fascination with everyday working-class life and the pressure to fit in. Although never released as a single, it became a favourite among Jam fans thanks to its driving rhythm and sharply observed lyrics. This performance on The Tube in 1982 captures the band revisiting one of the standout tracks from their classic period.
