ROB SEZ: By the mid 1980s, Marshall Crenshaw's commercial fortunes began to take a downturn. His 1987 album Mary Jean & 9 Others was the first not to trouble the top 200 U.S. album charts after its predecessor had peaked at #113. MC fans like me could feel Warner Brothers, his label, getting cold feet. In fact, they dropped him after the next album he recorded, 1989's Good Evening. Meanwhile, MC and his brother Robert kept touring, now with the great Graham Maby replacing (the equally great) Chris Donato on bass. As he says on this recording, MC loved playing The Ritz, and you can hear it in this energized performance, with plenty of great cover songs. HUGE THANKS to whomever shared this originally. Another bonus mystery share from 1987 lurks in the shadows...
You need this one also! Great performance...

Excellent performance with very good sound quality. (There’s crowd noise to contend with, but it’s a club show, so no surprise there.)
