JR Fan 1

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

Sweet!!! Someone referenced this page: http://www.boiseweekly.com/Cobweb/archives/2012/06/01/jonathan-richman-is-the-crazy-uncle-you-wish-you-had

Jonathan with the Modern Lovers: Asa Brebner, Leroy Radcliffe and D. Sharpe. Ice Cream Man is great fun... with loads and loads of false endings.

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

I love the instrumental break in Affection.

This album was a wild departure from his previous. One of his most overlooked and underrated

1981 Feb 21 New York City USA My Fathers Place

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"

A solo show in the main, except for a few songs with 'the Rockin Robins' on each set, joined by Andy Paley on piano for 'Up In The Sky Sometime'.

1982 Mar 2 Boston Cambridge USA Jonathan Swifts

I'd have probably graded this one as excellent if it hadn't have been for some very occasional loss of sound in one channel. With a few unusual songs choices that don't get performed too often, and a very unusual end of show poem...

1982 May 5 St. Louis USA Mississippi Nights

With  Beth Harrington, Ellie Marshall, and Michael Guardabascio.

1982 May 13 Boston Cambridge USA Jonathan Swifts

1982 May 19 Paris France The Rex Club

I am pretty sure that the instrumental, track 20, is really Malaguena De Jojo.

1985 Jun 24 Torino Italy Big Club

Yo Jojo and This Kind Of Music are both on a poor sounding taping that we also have, but not on the CD copy.

1985 Jul 5 London UK The Riverside

A fairly lively audience for this show, and with a sound quality that is probably a little better than I've marked it in the main, but, the sound quality drops away for all of 'California Desert Party' and also for part of 'UFO Man' so I've rated this one as 'good' only. Even so, it's a pretty good recording.Brennan Totten does the singing for a couple of songs midway through the show (Born to be Wild & My Baby). With a pretty funny encore.

1988 Jan 14 Liverpool UK Liverpool Polytechnic

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

With Johnny Avila and Brennan Totten. Brennan's doing the singing on 'Born to be Wild'.

"When I'm Walkin'" and "The Fenway" are performed a capella

My copy doesn't have "When I Dance" (it shows up on the track listing as a medley with "This kind of music" but there is no sign of it on the track.  Is your copy different?

Thanks Ramon, I removed that track listing

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

1996 Jul 24 Manchester UK Manchester University

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

With 'The Falcons'... Tommy Larkins (Drums) Nick Augustine (Bass) and Dan Eisenberg (Organ).
