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

"A Higher Power" is one of JR's most under-appreciated songs in my opinion

When Einstein saw me looking at her he joined my side. That's just brilliant.

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

I'd like to put together a cd of JR instrumentals.

Can you believe that there is not a single known live version of this song?

A great show including an outstanding version of 'Monologue on Bermuda' - the full story is here with two, yes, two songs within a song, 'Here come the Martian Martians' &  'Abominable Snowman in the Market',  before moving back to where we started at 'Down in Bermuda' - Excellent.It's also one of the few shows I have, so far, that includes a live version of "Tandem Jump!" so, set your altimeters...another - Highly recommended!

1992 Jun 9 Arlington USA The Birchmore

cover files available I really like this recording; lots of fun with the audience in this in-store' appearance and all are obviously having a great time. It only lasts something like 11 minutes in total but it's very, very playable.Until recently I thought this was an audio recording only, but I've since heard that it's actually from a video recording someone made - so film footage of this mini concert exists too!

1992 Oct 12 Boston Cambridge USA HMV Store

1993 Jun 19 Los Angeles USA Palomino

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!

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

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

"She Cracked" is played in the Monologue About Bermuda

1994 Feb 6 New Orleans USA The Howlin' Wolf

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

1994 Aug 25 Manchester UK

"Let Her Go Into the Darkness" is cut off due to a tape flip

1994 Oct 16 Chicago USA Park West

With Andy Paley on drums; tonight's show includes a pretty rare song cover, 'Polk Salad Annie' by Tony Joe White, which, as far I know is only on this recording.

1995 Jan 21 Long Beach USA Que Sera

1995 May 13 Carrboro USA Cats Cradle

With Tommy Larkins, Nick Augustine, and Dan Eisenberg

1996 Oct 9 Montreal Canada Club Soda

A nice short interview at about 30 minutes long. 'Surrender to Jonathan' has just been released, and besides being interviewed about this, Jonathan is also playing a few songs live in the studio.

KCRW - Morning Becomes Eclectic (1997)

KCRW - Morning Becomes Eclectic

The first of three great sounding recordings from Japan.

1997 May 26 Kyoto Japan Taku-Taku

A pretty good one this: especially so on 'Pablo Picasso' and 'Let her go into the Darkness' both of which have some great and extended guitar playing. Great performance!

1998 Jul 26 Boston Cambridge USA The Middle East

The first few seconds of this sound a little strange but the tape soon perks up. 'Velvet Underground' is the highlight for me on this one, Jonathan throws in some great sounding snatches of 'Sister Ray' and 'What goes on...' probably the best version of 'Velvet Underground' I've yet heard.

1999 Feb 18 London UK Jazz Cafe

1999 Oct 16 New York City USA Knitting Factory

JR Fan 1

cover files available Excellent recording of a very, very good show, with a few unusual songs and a great finale. Highly recommended!

Ramon

track 9 isn't 'You Must Ask', it is a song I hadn't heard before, perhaps called 'Your Mind'

Thanks, I changed it. I had forgotten how good of a show this one is. "It's Fall Time" is special

2000 Mar 3 New York City USA Bowery Ballroom

How is JR able to point out things that rarely get pointed out in such a lucid way?

2000 Jun 29 New York City USA Summerstage

This is a really good recording and definitely deserves to be classed as Excellent!   

2001 Oct 17 Manchester UK Manchester University

2002 Feb 23 Columbus USA Little Brothers

2003 Mar 5 Madrid Spain Sala El Sol

Doesn't seem to get played much anymore, but I love this song

A great show this!We recorded this one ourselves from a great position, in the centre and about 15 feet out from the stage. The recording came out nicely and Jonathan plays quite a few new songs. He also has a really funny new section mid way through "Let her go into the darkness", involving four languages, great stuff!

2003 Mar 20 Liverpool UK Liverpool University

2003 Mar 30 Munich Germany Orangehouse

Another great sounding Italian show, and straight from the taper too...  It's a fairly short set though, of maybe only 50 minutes, but a very good recording, and it also gives a good example of Jonathan's multi language abilities...
