A pretty good show with Asa Brebner, and almost certainly Andy Paley. The recording ends a little before the end of the show and just a few seconds into 'My Jeans'.  It's one of the few shows I have that includes 'Lets say we just met', and it's a cracking version performed on this one - great!!!

JR Fan 1

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

Jonathan with Brennan Totten & Andy Paley.

1986 Apr 17 Bologna Italy

Jonathan breaks a string mid set and then spends the best part of the next 10 minutes taking time out telling jokes, the jokes are awful but the delivery's great  - Our kids really like the frog joke!

1986 Sep 5 Chicago USA Holsteins Folk 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

1986 Dec 6 Berkeley USA California Berkley Square

1986 London UK Town and Country Club

This album seems to get mediocre reviews but I've always loved it.

Agreed! It just has a special feel that's even different from other albums. "This Love of Mine" and "Just About 17" are just pure magic

Shirin and Fahrad gets me a litle choked up when I hear it.

Just About 17 is in my top ten JR songs of all time.

1987 Feb 26 Chicago USA Holsteins Folk Club

1987 Feb 27 Chicago USA Holsteins Folk Club

1987 Dec 26 San Francisco USA The Fillmore

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

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

Jonathans pretty talkative on this one, there are just one or two flaws with it, it cuts out for about 20 seconds during 'hot nights' and also the recording stops during 'At night' just before the end of the show.

1993 Oct 21 Buffalo USA Nietzsches

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

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

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!
