Great show posted by guest blogger

I’ve heard almost 200 Jonathan Richman bootlegs over the years and a lot of them aren’t worth mentioning because they are often poorly recorded. There are the occasional gems in even a poor recording but it is rare to find a bootleg which is both recorded well and outstanding from start to finish. Such a bootleg is the show from the Mean Fiddler, London, in 1988. Jonathan is having fun and the crowd is completely with him the whole way. If there was one show I could go back in time to see, it would be this one. So I had to share https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q8yi1ywqtq4j427/AAAP6ALkCSGQjiTZTfJASn6Ua?dl=0 (I won’t leave the link up forever, so take a look while it’s there!) Ramon
