"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!

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.

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"

A great show and a pretty lively audience too; just Jonathan with support from a drummer, Joseph Marc (?). Highlight of the night is a great sounding 'Monologue on Bermuda'.

1992 Aug 21 San Francisco USA The Paradise

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.
