Jonathan Richman live (Water Rats Theatre, 9th October 2010)
Water Rats on Saturday. It was packed. Jonathan threw an anti-air-conditioning hissy fit, so it was boiling hot. He played I Was Dancing In The Lesbian Bar. It was great. That's all.
He only played two songs which i recognised Egyptian Reggae and Lesbian Bar. he seemed happy and the crowd loved it, except for a couple, she had long plaits, who kept saying shush to the rest of the crowd for clapping along and generally having a good time.Perhaps they were recording it. He left the stage for about 5 min while the management turned off the Air conditioning which could be heard over the well balanced PA system. A brilliant concert.
I recognised those two as well...and also the Vincent van Gogh song. It's nice to hear new songs, though. The Rolling Stones song was great...and the one about suffering.
I kinda felt he seemed grumpy at the start, but then he seemed to relax a bit after the a/c drama.
I'm Nik, a Swede in the wonderful mess that is London. I watch a lot of films and I listen to a lot of music.
I mainly seem to write about films these days, but occasionally I do post about music. If you want me to remove a song, send me an email (recordsmakegreatpets@gmail.com) and I will remove it immediately. If you like what you hear, please support the bands by buying their albums and going to their shows.
