A few faults with the sound develop during the last couple of songs on this one, but it's a great show and Jonathan does several encores before leaving the stage to rapturous applause.

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

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

Set 2 starts with the second version of "Let Her Go Into the Darkness"

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

A slightly muffled sound here: it does though include a couple of songs unique to this show.

Superb show. Did "Since She Started To Ride" after someone shouted "Go Country Jonny!". After that funny request he did another song, and afterwards remarked how he liked how informally he was addressed! ("very  familiar of them!") He then played the song with these twangy country guitar licks that I had never heard him play before

This is the album that has grown the most for me over the years

On I Can't Find My Best Friend I love the way Jonathan says demanding all my POWER.

You're right it does. I just like the emphasis he puts on Power or Powahh.

Yeah, it's like he gives everything in his soul when he says that. I guess this song is about his wife because this is right after his divorce. With the dozens and dozens of songs already devoted to her it's obvious that every word of this song is from the soul. Gotta love it

Five songs and some chat from a recording for Andy Kershaw's show on the BBC, aired on the 26th of February 1999.

1999 Feb 16 USA

Sounds a pretty good show this one, but, I don't think the recording can have the whole thing, as it cuts out part through the last song.

"The Lonely Little Thrift Store" cut's out part way through on this recording

1999 Feb 22 Bordeaux France

1999 Mar 5 Firenze Italy Auditorium Flog

"Twist and Shout" and "Pablo Picasso" are together

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

With a bit of a muffled sound unfortunately...

2000 Jun Boston USA Somerville Theatre

A great sounding show, Jonathan sings in French - lots! Just look at the song list...
