Simply superb showing by a youthful Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers circa 1978 (Leroy Radcliffe, D. Sharpe, Asa Brebner) from Dutch TV’s Top Pop program.
Starts off with a playful version of “Egyptian Reggae,” Richman’s charmingly clunky white college boy take on the famous riddim from Johnny Clarke’s “None Shall Escape the Judgment.”
“Egyptian Reggae”.
“New England”.
“Abominable Snowman”.
“Cleopatra”
“Buzz Buzz Buzz”
“Affection”.
“I’m A Little Airplane”
