My Baby Love Love Loves Me

[Nieves57]

Four years later, I still love this tune.

[shortwaveboy]

Fantastic

[sercang]

he is great though he needs a lapel microphone.

[TheAdricska]

I just can't stop listening to this song, I wish he came to Hungary sooooon :)

[ademeyer]

Where can I find a man as wonderful as Jonathan Richman?

[Babyhowdy233]

@ademeyer

I've been asking that same questions for years! :/

[rubberduckie56]

is he power chording it?

i absolutely love jonathan richman

[stoprejectingmynames]

Jonathan Richman is certifiably insane...in a good way.

[gustindesser]

thank you so much for share it!!!

[oldrockerbabe]

and i LOVE LOVE LOVE him!

"He sings with a tear in his voice"

Hey, Jojo was wearing that blue shirt in his 2009 show in Berlin. "This is a brand new shirt! Well, if you'd said that last night you would have got me."

[jazzsheets]

is this at the great american music hall in sf?

[elanmak]

this clip convinced me that cocktail drums were worth it.

[HeroicOaf]

I get a kick out of Tommy's body english at the very beginning of the clip - pseudo-consternation - like he's saying, well- where-the #%@!-are-we-tonight-Jonathan?!

[freezazoid]

weird: he uses the same chords as "my baby loves love" by edison lighthouse. You can sing it perfectly over the instrumental part of this song, when jonathan goes up a key.

[steveritt]

Welll, you mean "My baby loves lovin"  by White Plains. Jonathan is sometimes HEAVILY influenced by older songs that could result in copyright infringemnt but, that said, he is a songwriting genius and a fantastic emotional performer.

[freezazoid]

no, actually I meant "my baby loves lovin'" by Edison Lighthouse. Maybe the White Plains had the original, but whatever, I was referring to that song anyhow. I was just pointing it out.... I love J. richman sooooo much, so no arguments from me. this song is great.

I love licketysplit101's comment (not).

A music appreciation course teacher I had for a class dissed 'Met Him On A Sunday' for having but two chords. That's all it needed to be brilliant...

By the way, I've been playing guitar for thirty years and (a) I can't play like Jonathan and (b) I can't play a barre chord (tiny, inflexible fingers).

My boyfriend could, as he has long fingers of doom - I should try to teach him... :)

[Timmybear]

I saw him in 2005 in NYC, finally (oh, the number of times I missed seeing him - I was once in Toronto on a weekend he was playing AND with a friend who wanted to see him - but then said friend didn't feel well and I wasn't confident I'd be able to find the place and get back to where I was staying safely at the evening's end). And Yo La Tengo (well, 2/3 - no James, sadly) were in the audience that night in NYC!

[rickyb1967]

He is so amazing live, the videos don't do justice to his vocals and guitar playing.  Simply incredible and so much fun. Saw him in KC last week, I took a girl I really like to see him for our first date too.

[guichoflo2]

@rickyb1967 You're so right. I just saw him yesterday in Austin and it was one of the best shows I've been to. A friend lives nearby, so after the show we went to his place, then we got hungry and we walked by the venue where the concert had been, and we saw him. We said hi and had like a 5 min conversation, it was surreal!

[mayonaise33]

@rickyb1967 man, that sounds like a kool date.

[blenheim1940]

jonathan, always great instrument playing

[wonderfulprincess]

a wonderful man

[CATFISHratcoon]

[timossun]

I wish i could play the Guitar like he does... hahaha, nice dance moves too.

Jonathan Richman is a living legend!

Peace and love

[licketysplit101]

[ChristopherPlatt]

It's from Jonathan's excellent "Take Me To The Plaza" DVD.

[modernlovers77]

[chris3ff]

Nice! My first date with my girlfriend was to a Jonathan Richman show. We're madly in love now and I like to think Jonathan helped.

[grubbiethebum]

I knocked up a girl during an AC/DC concert. Yeah, they helped.

[rithas777]

What an entertainer. First heard him on the radio, been collecting his albums eversince. Fabulous!

[Hastpung88]

Is this the real name of the song? I have been trying to find it, but I can't, does anybody know from wich album it comes?. Please help!

[KingStank]

It looks like the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Could be wrong.

[XxxxGetALifexxxX]
