A quirky little recording. Recorded by Jonathan and given as a gift to a friend, Laura, eventually it somehow found it's way onto the tape trading circles. This is a much improved copy to what was originally available.

This is probably my favorite of the "studio" bootlegs

The Laura Palmer Tape (1974)

The Laura Palmer Tape

Ernie Brooks -- bass guitar, Andy Paley -- drums / vocals, Jonathan Paley -- guitar, Jody Thaxter -- backing vocals, Miranda Remington -- backing vocals

Jonathan Paley

I remember that members of what would be the Talking Heads were in attendence.

I LOVE this show!It's such a rare period in Jonathan's career.The highlight for me is "Hi Fred, We Still Love You". It was also on the Laura Palmer Tape and this version gives us a peek as to what JR meant the song to be.

That is awesome that members of the future talking heads were there...takes this show to a whole new level for me...thanks Jonathan! BTW...who sang "Good Night Baby" on this show? I sing that song in the car all the time!

1975 Mar 20 New York City USA The Kitchen

This is such a fun recording! Jonathan taking the second line up of Modern Lovers on the road with his new songs; Ice Cream Man; Here come the Martian  Martians; Rockin' Rockin' Leprechauns; etc  to a New York audience that sound like they fully expected to hear the 'old stuff!' Lots of heckling at the beginning but Jonathan soon has them won over  well most of them) Best heckle is something like 'You sound like you've got a head full of Ice Cream!'

i was at this show too..very close to the front and it was still hard to hear...curly, leroy and the late d sharpe..d sharpe had a great drum kit..big african skin floor tom..leroy had the epiphone casino type guitar...curly was, curly on standup bass..

That's awesome.I guess this show got a lot of press too. I get the sense that this was the first time that Jonathan introduced his "child-like" songs/persona to a NYC audience.

The very first JR song I ever heard. I heard Hospital on the radio around 1976 or so. That got me hooked for life.

This is a collection of songs that someone put together of lots of Jonathans rarer live songs from various other boots complied onto the one CD. A nice CD this but as I listen U can't help wondering where the rest of the concerts are at? (I can recognize some of the recordings but not all) without this thought it'd be a very nice disc.
