ROB SEZ: 1983 was a good year to be Marshall Crenshaw. His second LP Field Day was released to strong reviews (and some carping about Steve Lillywhite's production), and it rose to no. 52 in the album charts. The classic band lineup of MC on vocals & guitar plus his brother Robert on drums and Chris Donato on bass clearly had their act together, and the songs and choice covers were superlative. Here are the best recordings I have from 1983, in terms of performance and sound quality. Although there's some overlap between the two sets, the Philly recording features 4 songs not performed in Hartford, including the sterling "Our Town." Big-time thanks to the original tapers and sharers. (True MC fans won't want to miss the bonus set that's hidden almost in plain sight.)

Thanks again. I think I read somewhere that Marshall is touring with the Smithereens in place of the much missed Pat DiNizio (RIP). I'd go see them if they came to town for sure!
ReplyDeleteI just checked and there are tour dates with MC singing with them in the next several months. But The Smithereens are also using Robin Wilson of the Gin Blossoms and Susan Cowsill of The Cowsills as guest vocalists. Interesting move on their part!
ReplyDeleteNice set. First I've heard of him on 'White Lighning.'
ReplyDeleteHello old friend, always good to hear from you. What's "What Lightning"?

DeleteGot it! It was the "on" that threw me off. Thought maybe it was a comp or blog or TV show (etc.).
