Jonathan with Leroy Radcliffe on guitar, Curly Keranen on bass, accompanied an unnamed drummer.The sound is a little 'boomy'.

Jerry

This album had me scratching my head when I first heard it. This album came out right after The Modern Lovers and it was like night and day. But this album was the direction JR would take from then on.

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers (1977)

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers

This is the late show of two shows played that day 

1977 Mar 13 San Francisco USA The Boarding House

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

With Asa, Leroy, and D. Sharpe. Including a 12 minute version of "Roadrunner"

1977 Boston USA The Paradise

JR Fan 1

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

So classic...includes a very early version of Abdul 

1978 Feb 17 Philadelphia USA University of Pennsylvania

1978 Mar 3 Chicago USA The Quiet Knight

cover files available     This is a great little show! It sounds really intimate and of the 16 songs Jonathan plays 6 that I've only heard here (well maybe one or two exist on a couple of other live shows but the performance here is spot on). This is one of my favorites and listened to lots.

1982 Mar 21 New York City The Other End

I'd have probably graded this one as excellent if it hadn't have been for some very occasional loss of sound in one channel. With a few unusual songs choices that don't get performed too often, and a very unusual end of show poem...

1982 May 5 St. Louis USA Mississippi Nights

1982 May 19 Paris France The Rex Club

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