Jonathan Richman at the Lava Lounge
Long Beach - December 8, 1999
Jonathan played an excellent show, as usual, fluidly moving from song to song. He played stuff from the whole range of his catalog, including several songs in spanish. He did a little story telling in songs like The Silent Treatment. He got the audience clapping and occasionally singing along.My only annoyance with the show was that several members of the audience wouldn't shut up. First there were a couple of guys sitting on the floor in front of me who were talking pretty loud ("Jonathan is my FAVErit." "Oh, Reeely, what's yer faverit song by him." etc.) Come on guys, if you want to chat, why don't you go outside and let the rest of us hear Jonathan instead of you. Later, there were several rabid fans who kept shouting out requests between songs. Though I guess this is something of a tribute that they know his songs, it's kinda annoying... let him play what he wants to play. Jonathan knows best. :-) Enjoy the pictures - |
