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

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

"The Night Is Still Young" is cut."Nineteen in Naples" has it's start missing

1998 Dec 4 Palo Alto USA Cubberley Community Center

The single version of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMmSH-628jI

A slightly muffled sound here: it does though include a couple of songs unique to this show.

Superb show. Did "Since She Started To Ride" after someone shouted "Go Country Jonny!". After that funny request he did another song, and afterwards remarked how he liked how informally he was addressed! ("very  familiar of them!") He then played the song with these twangy country guitar licks that I had never heard him play before

1998 Dec 6 San Francisco USA Slims

1998 Dec 8 Santa Cruz USA The Catalyst

This is the album that has grown the most for me over the years

On I Can't Find My Best Friend I love the way Jonathan says demanding all my POWER.

You're right it does. I just like the emphasis he puts on Power or Powahh.

Yeah, it's like he gives everything in his soul when he says that. I guess this song is about his wife because this is right after his divorce. With the dozens and dozens of songs already devoted to her it's obvious that every word of this song is from the soul. Gotta love it

I'm So Confused (1998)

I'm So Confused

The first few seconds of this sound a little strange but the tape soon perks up. 'Velvet Underground' is the highlight for me on this one, Jonathan throws in some great sounding snatches of 'Sister Ray' and 'What goes on...' probably the best version of 'Velvet Underground' I've yet heard.

1999 Feb 18 London UK Jazz Cafe

Sounds a pretty good show this one, but, I don't think the recording can have the whole thing, as it cuts out part through the last song.

"The Lonely Little Thrift Store" cut's out part way through on this recording

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

JR Fan 1

Not a bad recording but with a couple of silent points on a few of songs it's rated as 'good' only. 

2000 Feb 22 Baltimore USA Fletchers

cover files available Excellent recording of a very, very good show, with a few unusual songs and a great finale. Highly recommended!

Ramon

track 9 isn't 'You Must Ask', it is a song I hadn't heard before, perhaps called 'Your Mind'

Thanks, I changed it. I had forgotten how good of a show this one is. "It's Fall Time" is special

2000 Mar 3 New York City USA Bowery Ballroom

2000 Jun 29 New York City USA Summerstage

With a bit of a muffled sound unfortunately...

2000 Jun Boston USA Somerville Theatre

A great sounding show, Jonathan sings in French - lots! Just look at the song list...

2000 Oct 25 Paris France Cafe de la Danse

We were at this one and enjoyed it loads; it's a good show but unfortunately the recording has some slight digi-noise in the background on some songs, nothing that spoils the show but it's noticeable in the quieter moments, more so towards the end than the beginning. Because of this I think I prefer the Manchester 2001 show to this one.
