Jerry

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

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!

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

1991 Feb 8 Columbia USA Greenstreets

It's a great solo show, of very good quality, and a new one to me. The only small flaw that I've noticed is at about 3 minutes 15 into 'This Kind of Music'. There's a 1/2 second bit where some crowd noise, or something like that, cuts in over the top of the song, the track then continues as normal. That's how the CD arrived. Also, this show could be from the 10th August or 8th October, 1991, as it came labeled 10/8/91; I've gone for the August date here, but maybe someone has a ticket stub or flyer which would confirm the date either way?

Hard to believe that this album is now 20 years old! One of my favorites. Really solid album.

Listening to this now. This album is just packed with great songs.

My two favorite songs on here are "Our Swinging Pad", and "Just For Fun"

Having A Party With Jonathan Richman (1991)

Having A Party With Jonathan Richman

A great show including an outstanding version of 'Monologue on Bermuda' - the full story is here with two, yes, two songs within a song, 'Here come the Martian Martians' &  'Abominable Snowman in the Market',  before moving back to where we started at 'Down in Bermuda' - Excellent.It's also one of the few shows I have, so far, that includes a live version of "Tandem Jump!" so, set your altimeters...another - Highly recommended!

1992 Jun 9 Arlington USA The Birchmore

A great show and a pretty lively audience too; just Jonathan with support from a drummer, Joseph Marc (?). Highlight of the night is a great sounding 'Monologue on Bermuda'.

1992 Aug 21 San Francisco USA The Paradise

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

Really good recording, On the same CD as 91X Radio interview from the same day.

1993 Jun 21 Solana Beach USA The Belly-Up Tavern

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
