One of the best sounding shows I have of The Modern Lovers from the early 1980's.Jonathan doesn't introduce all the band members so can't be sure of the full line-up tonight, but the performers included 'The Rockin' Robins' (Beth and Ellie), Curly Keranan, and Carla Brownlee on Saxophone. Carla's Sax is put to full use throughout and some of the songs have never sounded better

"This Kind of Music", and "Hospital" are cut

1983 Oct 10 Boston USA Jonathan Swifts

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

JR Fan 1

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

With (among others) Carla Brownlee, Curly Keranan, Ellie Marshall, and Jamie Hawkins (?)

I've been to The Bottom Line a few times back in the 70's. I saw Billy Joel,Patti Smith and Elliot Murphy there.

That Patti Smith show must have been amazing

1983 Oct 11 New York City USA The Bottom Line
