Jonathans pretty talkative on this one, there are just one or two flaws with it, it cuts out for about 20 seconds during 'hot nights' and also the recording stops during 'At night' just before the end of the show.

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..

1990 Aug 26 Reading UK Reading Festival

A squirmingly bad interviewer: with some of the daftest questions that I've yet heard asked, Jonathan does though give an excellent on air performance. About 10 minutes long

JR Fan 1

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

1990 Sep 30 Brussels Belgium Ancienne Belgique

1990 Oct 3 Hildesheim Germany Vier Linden

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

Another great show with several nice moments; the best of which occurs just when you think it's about to end - an unexpected and great 'I eat with Gusto' finale. Excellent.

1990 Oct 3 Melbourne Australia

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

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

"My Career as a Home Wrecker" has some different words on this recording

This show was recorded at Club Detroit. Club Detroit was the hotel bar for the Detroit Hotel in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. My first time meeting Jonathan. He sat and enjoyed a beverage with me and my friend Stan Lapinski. I have never found a recording of this show.

1991 Feb 2 St. Petersburg USA

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!

1991 Feb 8 Columbia USA Greenstreets

A good solo show with quite a bit of chat in Italian...

1991 May 5 Castelnuovo del Garda Italy Usignolo Club

A few great standout moments, particularly so with Monologue on Bermuda, Pablo Picasso, and a very early sounding version of Velvet Underground, for which Jonathan is still playing about with lyrics... sounds pretty different here!

1991 May 29 Manchester UK Manchester International

It's a great solo show, of very good quality, and a new one to me. The only small flaw that I've noticed is at about 3 minutes 15 into 'This Kind of Music'. There's a 1/2 second bit where some crowd noise, or something like that, cuts in over the top of the song, the track then continues as normal. That's how the CD arrived. Also, this show could be from the 10th August or 8th October, 1991, as it came labeled 10/8/91; I've gone for the August date here, but maybe someone has a ticket stub or flyer which would confirm the date either way?

1991 Aug 10 Stockholm Sweden Daily's Bar

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

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.

1991 Nov 12 Columbus USA Staches

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

Hard to believe that this album is now 20 years old! One of my favorites. Really solid album.

Listening to this now. This album is just packed with great songs.

My two favorite songs on here are "Our Swinging Pad", and "Just For Fun"

Having A Party With Jonathan Richman (1991)

Having A Party With Jonathan Richman

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

Soundboard recording - but as the audience are hardly being picked up there is little or no live atmosphere present. Probably not a bad show but not a favourite of mine - I much prefer hearing shows where there's lots of interaction between Jonathan and the audience.

1992 Jul 15 Winnipeg Canada Spectrum Cabaret

A top-quality recording with the full Bermuda Monologue and a great sounding 'Velvet Underground', including snatches of 3 songs by the Velvets - Sister Ray, What Goes On & Foggy Notion -  and some nice chat too.

1992 Oct 26 Bloomington USA Jakes

1993 Mar 25 Philadelphia USA Chestnut Cabaret

Really good recording, On the same CD as 91X Radio interview from the same day.

1993 Jun 21 Solana Beach USA The Belly-Up Tavern

"She Cracked" is played in the Monologue About Bermuda

1994 Feb 6 New Orleans USA The Howlin' Wolf

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

1994 May 5 Netherlands Bevrijdingspop

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

1994 Aug 25 Manchester UK

1994 Oct 21 Indianapolis USA Cafe Angst

1994 Nov 1 Providence USA

"Parties in the USA" goes into "Hang On Sloopy"

1994 Nov 4 Ogunquit USA

The recording's a bit quiet unfortunately. It includes though a great version of 'You're crazy for taking the Bus' - A very funny and extended tale of life on the bus!

1994 Nov 10 Alexandria USA The Birchmore

1995 May 13 Carrboro USA Cats Cradle

1995 Jul 15 St. Louis USA Ciceros

1996 Jan 31 Orlando USA Yab Yum's

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!
