1990 Sep 30 Brussels Belgium Ancienne Belgique

This song was written in the studio during the recording of "Modern Lover's 88"

1990 Oct 3 Hildesheim Germany Vier Linden

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

This show has the most songs of any show in this database

1991 Feb 13 Bloomington USA

A rowdy and very lively audience; Jonathan joins 'the Skeletons' for the first 3 songs...

1991 Feb 16 Chicago USA Lounge Axe

A strange JR song. Dark and almost evil sounding at times. Unless I'm missing the point of the song entirely. It wouldn't be the first time!

Yeah, this one and The Neighbors are both dark. Still not completely sure if I really get them...and I've heard them both countless times!

Jonathan is speaking Italian throughout this one, dropping some into the lyrics on a few songs, and even manages to do the whole of  'Monologue on Bermuda' in Italian. 

1991 Sep 14 Bologna Italy Festa Dell Unita

Other than it was recorded in Canada in the 1990's no other info came along with this show. My best guess dates it as sometime in late 1991 - going by the song choices and Jonathans comments between songs. An early version of 'Let Her Go Into The Darkness' is introduced here as a brand new song, "not even on the new album that just came out" - Possibly, 'Having A Party With Jonathan Richman' which, far as I know, was released  in late September 1991.About half the show looks to be here- The taping cuts out straight after Jonathan calls an intermission.

"Let Her Go To Her Old Boyfriend" is cut at the end

1991 Sep Canada

A flaw with the recording on this one. The sound's pretty clear but for the first third of the show until part way through 'Action Packed' it's only recorded onto the right channel; from there on though it's okay and the rest of the show sounds fine.

1992 Apr San Rafael USA New Georges

A top-quality recording with the full Bermuda Monologue and a great sounding 'Velvet Underground', including snatches of 3 songs by the Velvets - Sister Ray, What Goes On & Foggy Notion -  and some nice chat too.

1992 Oct 26 Bloomington USA Jakes

Second to last night of a 3 night stand at Yab Yum's.

1994 Feb 12 Orlando USA Yab Yum's

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

Last night of a 3 night stand at Yab Yum's. Very intimate shows. you can hear the door to the coffee house or whatever it was opening and closing...

1994 Feb 13 Orlando USA Yab Yum's

"Let Her Go Into the Darkness" is cut off due to a tape flip

1994 Oct 16 Chicago USA Park West

1994 Oct 21 Indianapolis USA Cafe Angst

"Parties in the USA" goes into "Hang On Sloopy"

1994 Nov 4 Ogunquit USA

Great site. Thanks so much for this resource. Question on this recording date: Has anyone verified it as 1999? It seems very unlikely Jonathan played these songs after so long without playing them: Gail Loves Me; Closer; The Neighbors--to name a few. paz y amor, DMD dmdother@gmail.com

Good point DMDCAF, this show's setlist looks like it's more of a 1995 show than a 1999 show. I don't have the show to further verify...maybe someone could shed more light here?
