A cracking two set show featuring the Rockin' Robins (Beth Harrington and Ellie Marshall). The second set is particularly enjoyable... everyone's loosened up and having fun.

1981 Feb 6 Bloomfield USA The Dirt Club

JR Fan 1

JR is the man!  He lives near my family.  I want to wear his socks

Set 2 sounds to have come from a different source to that for Set 1, and is a much better recording; hence a different rating for each of the sets.With the Rocking Robins & Michael Guardabascio.

With Curly Keranen, Michael Guardabascio and Ken Forfia, plus 'The Rockin' Robins' : Ellie Marshall and  Beth Harrington.Yoyos On Parade' & 'Creeps On The March' aren't really songs they're just a few lines while Jonathans messing about for a minute or two.

1981 Mar Detroit USA Bookies

Right, I had this previously listed as New York 1982, and as a one CD show only, but now have a copy of the full show as below... the thing is that the one CD copy seemed to sound better than the new complete copy does (the 1 CD copy ran from fireside chat to Abdul & Cleopatra) so I now need to do some further sound checking and come up with the best recording.Here's the show... and by the way, 'Bring Back Springtime' still stands out as a great unlisted and unrecorded song...

1981 Jul 20 New York City USA The Peppermint Lounge

Also known as "I Can't Stand To See People With Their Feeling's Hurt"

With the Modern Lovers. The first track here doesn't sound quite right, but the sound on rest of the recording is pretty good.

1982 Sep 23 New York City USA Lone Star Cafe

This is a collection of songs that someone put together of lots of Jonathans rarer live songs from various other boots complied onto the one CD. A nice CD this but as I listen U can't help wondering where the rest of the concerts are at? (I can recognize some of the recordings but not all) without this thought it'd be a very nice disc.
