The Peppermint Lounge, New York, 20th July 1981 - 2 CD - Good/ Very Good
Right, I had this previously listed as New York 1982, and as a one CD show only, but now have a copy of the full show as below...
the thing is that the one CD copy seemed to sound better than the new complete copy does (the 1 CD copy ran from fireside chat to Abdul & Cleopatra) so I now need to do some further sound checking and come up with the best recording.
Here's the show... and by the way, 'Bring Back Springtime' still stands out as a great unlisted and unrecorded song...

The Bottom Line, New York, 27th December 1981 - 1 CD - Excellent
A neat sounding show, the 2nd of two nights at the Bottom Line, and with a very early acapella version of 'That Summer Feeling'... it's pretty different here and sounds like it's completely new to the audience too; Jonathan describes this as his 'Summer Song'...
With Beth Harrington, Ellie Marshall, Ken Forfia, Michael Guardabascio, and Curly Keranen.

Jonathan Sings Demos, Autumn 1981 - 1 CD - Excellent
A Bootleg CD circulating on Wild Child Records (?)
The cover describes the recording as "unreleased demo version with bonus tracks". It seems likely that these recordings were done at Sunset Studios, Burbank, in Autumn 1981. (see Tim Mitchell's Book, 'There's Something About Jonathan' - page 132).
Most of the recordings are very similar to those that were released on "Jonathan Sings!" , though a couple didn't make it onto the record.

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.

Jonathan doesn't introduce all the band members so can't be sure of the full line-up tonight, but the performers included 'The Rockin' Robins' (Beth and Ellie), Curly Keranan, and Carla Brownlee on Saxophone. Carla's Sax is put to full use throughout and some of the songs have never sounded better

A good show but the audience here is pretty rowdy and a sizeable number seem pretty inattentive to the performance, there's also quite a lot of chatting way too near the microphone, but, besides these gripes it's still an interesting recording and includes a couple of otherwise unknown songs - 'More Surprises' and 'Let's Go Wild' - apart from on this tape.

A few faults with the original taping : every once and a while the microphone seems to be getting a bit of a knock which then affects the recording levels for the next 30 seconds. This doesn't happen too much at the start though it's a lot more noticeable for the last 10 minutes.

It's one of the few shows I have that includes 'Lets say we just met', and it's a cracking version performed on this one - great!!!

A short performance from this huge and popular UK Music Festival, at about only 40 minutes long or so, because of the needs of the Festival organizers to get on with setting up their next act. The highlights are, to my mind, 'Tell how you Feel' and a great and spirited version of 'Louie Louie'.
Maybe this tape doesn't have the best of sound quality - but still a great show!

A radio broadcast, it probably would have been a great show, but it's a bit spoilt by the radio announcers cutting into the show endlessly between songs to remind you that you're listening to 'Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers', by the end of the show you've probably heard this 20 times. They also, near the end, start to overlap their conversation well into the start of some songs.
(I've now got hold of a very clear and edited copy of this show, without all the announcers 'babble', but there's a couple of track missing too).

Sound quality starts off poor but soon improves during the second song. Almost all the late show's here, along with most the early one. A good recording that's spoilt slightly by some idiots loudly chatting nearby, mainly during the first couple of songs. Eventually part of the rowdy audience gets to Jonathan and he pulls the plug early during 'Affection' .
With Andy Paley and Brennan Totten.

A great show with Brennan Totten & Johnny Avila.
A really lively one this one, the band is on top form: full of enthusiasm, and playing to a highly excited crowd. Some excellent guitar work is here too, especially on 'Chewing gum wrapper' and 'Conga Drums' - this is by far the best version of 'Conga Drums' that I've yet heard.
Unfortunately, the tape runs out near the end of 'Walter Johnson', the shows second encore, just a couple of lines short of what would have been the end; so unfortunately, the recording comes to a bit of an abrupt ending - this though is probably the only slight flaw with the recording.
Has a great atmosphere of an excellent show, superbly captured!!!!!

KFSR, California State University, Fresno, 1987 - 1 CD (INTERVIEW) - Good
Interview by 'Big Jim Hunsicker', with Jonathan and Brennan Totten.
From an intended cable TV show that was never aired , the video of which has since deteriorated, this is the audio recording of the programme. About thirty minutes long. (On the same CD as 14th March 2008).
Jonathan does a few songs between questions:
I'm a Little Dinosaur (a few lines only)

Liverpool Polytechnic, 14th January 1988 - Tape - Good
A fairly lively audience for this show, and with a sound quality that is probably a little better than I've marked it in the main, but, the sound quality drops away for all of 'California Desert Party' and also for part of 'UFO Man' so I've rated this one as 'good' only. Even so, it's a pretty good recording.
Brennan Totten does the singing for a couple of songs midway through the show (Born to be Wild & My Baby). With a pretty funny encore.

At the end of the show Jonathan can be heard throwing cards out into the audience, imploring people to use them to write him - "I always write back, sometimes it takes a while, but I write back!"

A cracking show that includes an excellent and completely unknown song... 'Wild Wild Party', never seen it listed anywhere before... as well as a very early version of 'You can't talk to the Dude' introduced as a brand new song... and with very different lyrics too. Recommended.

Jonathan's pretty talkative tonight with a very lively audience that's only too willing to join in with the songs wherever possible. A super show for all, that ends with Jonathan saying how much he's enjoyed himself, unusually he's more than happy to do several encore's on this one.
S. E. Rogie comes on stage as guest to sing 'African Lady', one of Sooliman's songs that's usually covered by Jonathan as an instrumental.

A pretty interactive and friendly show with some nice chat between songs too, and an especially nice moment when a woman joins Jonathan up on stage, unexpectedly, part way through 'Affection'.
Some slight background hiss during the early part but this fades away part way though.

Jonathan's pretty chatty tonight... inviting questions from the audience, etc, more so during the first set than the second. There's an interesting explanation of why 'Roadrunner' doesn't get performed much anymore and also an early embryonic version of You Can't Talk to the Dude'.

Only about 10 minutes long, so both this and VPRO interview of the following day are on the same CD.
VPRO Radio, Holland, 5th September 1990 - 1 CD - Excellent (INTERVIEW)
A much better interview today, he's getting on really well with the shows presenter and is much more talkative than he was at the VARA interview yesterday. Jonathan also performs a few songs live in the studio too.
