The single version of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMmSH-628jI

Other than it was recorded in Canada in the 1990's no other info came along with this show. My best guess dates it as sometime in late 1991 - going by the song choices and Jonathans comments between songs. An early version of 'Let Her Go Into The Darkness' is introduced here as a brand new song, "not even on the new album that just came out" - Possibly, 'Having A Party With Jonathan Richman' which, far as I know, was released  in late September 1991.About half the show looks to be here- The taping cuts out straight after Jonathan calls an intermission.

"Let Her Go To Her Old Boyfriend" is cut at the end

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

1991 Oct 30 Binghamton USA S.U.N.Y. Binghamton

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

1991 Nov 15 Bloomington USA Second Story

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.

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!

1994 Nov 1 Providence USA

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

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.
