@26mistakes yup, 3,000 of us that night, 3,000 the night before. Hey, we were open-minded in those days to anything different and we had a sense of humour. Yup, there were a few who spent the whole night calling for Hospital, but it was just a bizarre engaging night. At times he sang without a mike, crawled around the stage to I'm a little dinosaur, and was just generally the JoJo that he has been one way or the other for the last 30 plus years!

Question was asked - this is from Sept 1977, live lp recorded at hammersmith odeon. To put this completely in a context that none of you really probably care about, it was his first gigs in the UK, at a time when Roadrunner and first lp had been seen as key movers in the punk revolution (pistols used to play Rrunner). so there we all are, all punked up and ready to go, and then this, which is the first song they played!!! Count the encores! On the world's smallest PA. A truly magic moment.

Have always thought that he was the musical equivalent of Henri Rousseau, but friends just thought I was weird for liking him in the 70's!

I can't listen to this song without a steady and half-foolish grin ear-to-ear, can you ?

I love this. One of the best things about it is the crowd. This was recorded in Leeds in 1977, but none of Jonathan Richman's recordings had been released in the UK. Everyone had only heard that the Modern Lovers were the "godfathers of punk rock." So all of these hardened, angry punkers showed up hoping for some loud garage rock. You can hear it in the recording - they were clearly stunned at this skinny dude playing pretty tunes.
By the end, they were on their feet screaming for more.
