1976 Apr Iowa USA

Jerry

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

"Here Come the Martian Martians" has cuts

Jonathan and the Modern Lovers - Leroy Radcliffe, Curly Keranen, and D. Sharpe. A really rare recording, with a couple of completely unknown songs - 'At Home with a Lover' and  'I Love People'' - both of them don't seem to exist on any other JR recordings. Some issues with the sound, a bad burn's been done at some time in the past, but nothing too much to spoil it.

1976 Oct 3 San Francisco USA The Boarding House

I just remembered how much I love this song

For some reason I seem to ignore this album. Not sure why. I need to play this more often.

Jonathan with the Modern Lovers: Asa Brebner, Leroy Radcliffe and D. Sharpe. Ice Cream Man is great fun... with loads and loads of false endings.

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

A little bit of echo for the 1st couple of  songs only, but excellent for the rest of the show.

Good  live in the studio recording of the Modern Lovers, with nice and relaxed performance. Some nice chat between songs too.

1978 Jun 22 Bristol England Bristol University

On the same CD as the one from the Roxy of the 5th October 1980. The whole of this show seems to be recorded, the other one is incomplete and just a few songs surviving on tape (see the other entry).

1980 Jul 18 Hollywood USA Roxy

Loads of unusual songs here, Jonathan's very chatty and joking throughout and everybody's having a great time. Lots of interaction between him and what is a pretty lively audience. A great show!

1983 Feb 14 Los Angeles USA Uncle Charlies

I believe he is referring to the Roman god "Pan", the god of nature-like things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_(god). So, maybe the grammar should be: "I'm Your God, Pan". He keeps his Pan-Pipe ready for Pan-Melodies! He lives in the woods...not much to steal...but those colors well, those colors are real (natural)

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

1983 Aug 27 Melbourne Australia Dallas Brooks Hall

1983 Oct 7 Amherst Bluewall USA University of Massachusetts

1983 Oct 9 Bloomfield The Dirt Club

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

Personal highlights are 'I'm a Jerk' and a really nice and long 'Affection'.Deservedly Excellent.

With Ellie and Curly, a great sounding performance, and several encores too.

Second to last night of a 3 night stand at Yab Yum's.

1994 Feb 12 Orlando USA Yab Yum's

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

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

Sounds like this is an outdoor music festival; a fairly short show at about 45 minutes long.
