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

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

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

An FM "TUL Box" broadcast solo set. The show was opened by "The Iguanas". This is missing about 4 songs between "California Dance Party" and "Dancin' Late At Night"

1990 Mar 5 New Orleans USA Tipitinas

A much better interview today, he's getting on really well with the shows presenter and is much more talkative than he was at the VARA interview yesterday. Jonathan also performs a few songs live in the studio too. About 30 minutes long

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

I didn't know what to expect when I heard that JR was doing a country album. But in the end it's just another great JR album.

This may be JR's best sounding cd along with I'm So Confused. Both are very well produced.

Those Nashville musicians are top notch.This is the one album where I actually think that the re-makes of his songs don't spoil the album. The version of "I Must Be King" here sounds more fresh than the "Jonathan Sings's" version

This show has the most songs of any show in this database

1991 Feb 13 Bloomington USA

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!

A great recording - apart from it being a bit quiet - and an excellent solo show. Jonathan's in a great mood throughout and has loads of fun with the audience.

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

1991 Nov 15 Bloomington USA Second Story

The date for this one I've had to take a bit of a wild guess at, coz the guy who sent me it was not too sure about when the recording was first made. He also said that this is about 1/2 of what the complete show was when first broadcast; so, unfortunately, this is a shortened and edited up version.All that said it's still a great show! Jonathan's having a whale of a time with his audience and he even sings a Spanish version of 'Reno'.Hopefully the rest of the show will eventually turn up, but at present the song list is :-

1991 Madrid Spain Sala Universal

1992 Jan 30 New Orleans USA Tipitinas

A flaw with the recording on this one. The sound's pretty clear but for the first third of the show until part way through 'Action Packed' it's only recorded onto the right channel; from there on though it's okay and the rest of the show sounds fine.

1992 Apr San Rafael USA New Georges

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

This is about the very best of all the live recordings - Jonathan's on great form, some great songs, nice chat and the audience are having a hoot too; there are many, many highlights, and all with a sound quality that is just excellent!Personal Highlight - 'I eat with Gusto, Damn You Bet!'This is a must have!!

1992 Tampa USA Caesars

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

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

1994 Feb 7 Baton Rouge USA The Varsity

A fun show with a few nice moments: especially so on the very funny and extended 'Down in Bermuda' 

1994 Aug 25 Manchester UK

I have this album but I'm ashamed to say that I rarely listen to it. Forgive me.

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"!

1995 Feb 1 New Orleans USA The Howlin' Wolf

1995 May 13 Carrboro USA Cats Cradle

Great site. Thanks so much for this resource. Question on this recording date: Has anyone verified it as 1999? It seems very unlikely Jonathan played these songs after so long without playing them: Gail Loves Me; Closer; The Neighbors--to name a few. paz y amor, DMD dmdother@gmail.com

Good point DMDCAF, this show's setlist looks like it's more of a 1995 show than a 1999 show. I don't have the show to further verify...maybe someone could shed more light here?
