I am a huge fan. I have declared Richmanism as my religion since I was 17 years old. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for posting this. What a treat on a nice sunny Saturday.
I don't think this was 1984. In 84, Jonathan was touring with a full band (Ellie Marshall, Beth Harrington, Michael Guardabascio, etc) He didn't tour with only Brennan Totten and Andy Paley until about 1987 - it was these three that put together the album Modern Lovers '88
What a great video! I love when stuff pops up that I have never seen before. This is really the only video of Jonathan I have seen that really captures the joy of his shows of that classic era. He always seemed most comfortable in front of foreign audiences. Looks like someone finally let him talk without asking idiotic questions. Never seen him smile so much while talking about himself!

If this isnt punk I don't know what punk is.
"I m straight " ...that song put a smile on my face everytime I.....
well, goodness gracious. i haven't fallen in love like this since i met my husband 8 years ago. jonathan, JONATHAN.
his great musicianship and beautiful voice almost gets lost in all that charm.
He’s a genuine eccentric and he is committed to his music. And he’s very earnest and expresses his enthusiasm in his songs.

This is probably the most sunny video ever!
Brilliant stuff. This is probably the best live footage of Jonathan Richman I've seen on RUclips. Classic. Part 2 is great too.
Jonathan, you ARE a star!
Such a great band.
Great upload- many thanks!
