1991 Feb 8 Columbia USA Greenstreets

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!

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

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

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

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

This is about the very best of all the live recordings - Jonathan's on great form, some great songs, nice chat and the audience are having a hoot too; there are many, many highlights, and all with a sound quality that is just excellent!Personal Highlight - 'I eat with Gusto, Damn You Bet!'This is a must have!!

1992 Tampa USA Caesars

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

Last night of a 3 night stand at Yab Yum's. Very intimate shows. you can hear the door to the coffee house or whatever it was opening and closing...

1994 Feb 13 Orlando USA Yab Yum's

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

1995 Apr 7 Wetlands USA

1995 Apr 21 San Francisco USA Noe Valley

This one is a little muffled, and also very quiet for the first couple of songs too... the sound does improve part way through 'Blue Moon'... but even so, no great shakes!

Great site. Thanks so much for this resource. Question on this recording date: Has anyone verified it as 1999? It seems very unlikely Jonathan played these songs after so long without playing them: Gail Loves Me; Closer; The Neighbors--to name a few. paz y amor, DMD dmdother@gmail.com

Good point DMDCAF, this show's setlist looks like it's more of a 1995 show than a 1999 show. I don't have the show to further verify...maybe someone could shed more light here?
