How is JR able to point out things that rarely get pointed out in such a lucid way?

Has a bit of a muffled sound but includes a few unrecorded songs.

The beginning is cut from "Her Mystery..."

2005 Apr 17 Castellon Spain Sala Van Van

Doesn't seem to get played much anymore, but I love this song

Recorded by ourselves, but from too far away this time... a great show on the night that just wasn't done justice by the recording...

2006 Oct 13 Newcastle UK All Saints Church

Unlike any other song JR has written.Incredibly moving.

2006 Oct 16 London Union Chapel

She's not so scary she's got all of my records! 

The term "Vampire Girl" has entered into my natural dialect because of this song

2006 Oct 17 Paris France Le Trabendo

The very first JR song I ever heard. I heard Hospital on the radio around 1976 or so. That got me hooked for life.

Chiusa la festa, chiusa la sera (?) (in Italian, translates as 'ends the party, ends the night?')

Bajando, bajando por ceniza y mineral (?) is a new Spanish song, which may be titled &acirc;&#128;&#152;Bajo la tierra, en el subsuelo&acirc;&#128;&#152; - Under the earth, in the subsoil.

Part of this show was also broadcast on Madrid's Radio 3

Jonathan's in a really good mood tonight, still on an up from the last nights show. Its a fun recording too, with lots of people singing along... especially on the Spanish language songs.

This track list is slightly incorrect. Jonathan played Behold The Lilies Of The Field between No One Was Like Vermeer and Older Girl.

My own recording from pretty near the front of the audience, and about 10 or 12 feet from Jonathans guitar. An intimate venue with good acoustics.

2009 Oct 11 Manchester UK The Deaf Institute

A very clear audience recording, Jonathan with Tommy Larkins on drums.

I love it when JR writes songs about real people. Velvet Underground,Pablo Picasso,Walter Johnson, etc.

"Celestial" is in Spanish and English. "We'll be the Noise..." is in English and Italian. "If You Want To Leave Our Party" is in English and French

2010 Oct 24 Madrid Spain Casa de America

GREAT primitive version of Bohemia here. Even with the poor sound quality of this recording (I recorded this) you can hear JR trying new things out on the cuff

This show might have bad sound quality, but it means a lot to me. That version of Bohemia haunts me

2011 Feb 24 Asheville USA Grey Eagle

What could be said about this song? For me it's the epitome of Jonathan Richman

JojoBlog post for the song with a live performance: http://jojofiles.blogspot.com/2011/11/door-to-bohemia.html

I hope that Bohemia shows up on the next album but aren't there quite a few excellent JR songs that never appeared on any of his albums?

Some unreleased recent songs: Mr. Sorrow, Bohemia, Her Love Is From Somewhere Else, Hard Time Saying Goodbye, Italian Party Song, Hebrew Party Song (barbeque), Keith Richards. There's even a few that I'm missing

2011 May 15 Nashville USA The 5 Spot

Creative Alliance at the Patterson. I recorded this and it was a cool show. It was in an auditorium kind of feel as there were chairs setup so everyone sat.

The opening act was not able to appear, so Jonathan started the show early which made the opening part of the concert more fresh or off-the-cuff (cool feel)

A pretty good two set show. With Tommy Larkins

2011 Oct 20 Baltimore USA The Patterson

The unknown song (number 14) is the party song. Does anyone know a good name for it?

2011 Oct 28 Bloomington USA The Bishop

The high-e guitar string broke during "A Que Venimos..." and he happily continued playing for another song or two!

At the end JR, announced that there wasn't going to be an encore because he had "said all he wanted to say", and he did in a way that the audience understood. An interesting end to the night

2012 Jun 15 Asheville USA Grey Eagle

Thanks Geno for the setlist! "Parent Pushing Stroller" is a great funny new garage rocker. My Baby Love Love Loves Me is played super fast. This was a great show, tiny stage, JR was super funny and wandering all over the place!
