A pretty rare solo show, but not the best of recordings with this one. 

1980 May 10 USA The Tam OShanter

JR Fan 1

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

Jerry

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

1980 May 23 New York City USA Club 57

1982 May 19 Paris France The Rex Club

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

1985 Apr 25 San Francisco USA Last Day Saloon

VinnieQ

i always wanted to hear the full version of CornerStore from the film Kingpin, but i never found it..

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

A great concert with a great version of 'Affection' tied into the concert cause.

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

1985 Jun 24 Torino Italy Big Club

Jonathan's pretty chatty and comes up with plenty of ad libs during 'That Summer Feeling', and Brennan Totten's here too.

1986 Sep 8 Bloomington USA Second Story

Jonathan's pretty talkative tonight with a very lively audience that's only too willing to join in with the songs wherever possible. A super show for all, that ends with Jonathan saying how much he's enjoyed himself, unusually he's more than happy to do several encore's on this one. S. E. Rogie comes on stage as guest to sing 'African Lady', one of Sooliman's songs that's usually covered by Jonathan as an instrumental. 

1988 Jun 28 London UK Mean Fiddler

1988 Jul 2 Berlin Germany

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

1988 Sep 10 Tokyo Japan

A nice show this one, a bunch of instrumentals performed near the beginning and a great version of 'Closer'.'Fender Stratocaster' and 'Make a Mistake' are both described as new songs.

1988 Nov 3 Toronto Canada

A pretty interactive and friendly show with some nice chat between songs too, and an especially nice moment when a woman joins Jonathan up on stage, unexpectedly, part way through 'Affection'.Some slight background hiss during the early part but this fades away part way though. 

1988 Nov 9 Boston Cambridge USA Nightstage

Jonathan's pretty chatty tonight... inviting questions from the audience, etc, more so during the first set than the second. There's an interesting explanation of why 'Roadrunner' doesn't get performed much anymore and also an early embryonic version of You Can't Talk to the Dude'.

"Roadrunner" is a short instrumental version

1988 Nov 14 Columbus USA Staches

A Radio broadcast of the full show, quite long, at about 1 1/2 hours and with many encores. The Spanish presenters do chip in quite a bit between some songs, but nothing too much and the show isn't spoilt . A very good recording!

1988 Dec 5 Sevilla Spain Discoteca Rio

1989 Jul 13 San Francisco USA Slims

Not the best of sound with this one... it's a little quiet and sounds like the venue was a large cavernous hall so a bit hollow sounding.

1989 Aug 9 Winnipeg Canada Warehouse Theatre

1989 Oct 20 Ardmore USA 23 East Cabaret

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

My favorites from this album are Closer and Everyday Clothes.

It's interesting that he pulled "Miracles Will Start To Happen" out of nowhere... a song that he played way back in 1980 and hadn't (to my knowledge) been heard from until it was put on this album.

I love the sound of Jonathan's guitar on this album.

Even simple songs like Sleepwalk will haunt on this album. To get this album you must enter a specific mood

Jonathan Richman (1989)

Jonathan Richman

His funniest song? Even though it's not really a song.

This song threw me off at first but now I think it's hilarious

DMDCAF

There were many shows I was at where Jonathan at least did some of CLOSER as CERCA in espanol! Definitely my favorite song of his in Spanish!

I love when he goes "mas y mas y mas y mas y mas y mas"!
