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.

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

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

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

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

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!
