[Stereo feed] Great little live performance, and humorous interview segment.

[@sentient02970]

Just love the way he leans over to the fake microphone on each one.

[@neridawalker6623]

How could you not love Jonathan

[@amosnoir9238]

He has this kind of energy...

[@LindsayKay]

Jonathan is the gentle heart of punk IMO

[@Stephanlabize]

So fuckin true!!!!

[@briansmith2163]

The ULTIMATE rebel !

[@lukeasgian1109]

[@awrogers3013]

Once saw him refusing the pa at the 930 in dc. Said he didn’t want to hurt infants ears..played all the big ones but no amps…

[@gmar7836]

[@joaodantas9259]

[@melvinwren]

lmao conans a rookie here, and i love how hes just like "lemme see this thing" at his guitar....

[@onemanschorus12]

He sounds like Sylvester Stallone.

[@SomeoneJr]

One Man's Chorus ADRIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@therajgreek420]

What make/model guitar is he playing?? To anyone who might know

[@Semiautodidact]

That's a Harmony, not sure what model, they were inexpensive guitars that you could order from the Sears catalog, they're collector's items now

[@daverice2426]

@@Semiautodidact Actually branded Silvertone, not sure what model but could have been made by Harmony or maybe Kay

[@MrDino1953]

He’s right, Conan does talk too much. Can’t stop interrupting Jonathon’s flow.

[@harvey1954]

Use to like Richman, but he became such a WOKE doormat. What a crap tune. Sounds like he is making it up on the spot.

[@yummyjackalmeat]

Saw him live last night. Such a delight. Every person should go see him live. I've never seen so many happy people in a room with music!

[@JakeAllen3]

Did he perform any of the modern lovers?

[@yummyjackalmeat]

@JakeAllen3 seen him a few times since this post, and no, he doesn't play modern lovers songs as far as I remember. Maybe one snuck in that i missed but i dont think so. imo he has aged like fine wine anyway.

[@JakeAllen3]

@@yummyjackalmeat dang, I may go see him soon in Nashville. I am not very familiar with his material outside of his hits & modern lovers

[@yummyjackalmeat]

@JakeAllen3 I don't either tbh I just see him live every chance I get and I've watched every video of him performing. It's just about his stage presence and the joy he brings. It's just him and a nylon guitar. He usually has Tommy on some simple percussion instruments, not even a full kit.

[@planetdisco4821]

I agree! I saw him at a little club in Melbourne, errr somewhat unimaginatively called “The Club” Australia and it was such a fun night. Weirdly enough I was just randomly thinking about his Bus song this arvo and it popped up on my KZbin feed which sent me down this rabbit hole and also confirmed my suspicions that it only does my iPad listen to me but it’s also possibly reading my mind… 😮

[@chrischris6359]

he's facial expressions are just great hah

[@joshb8976]

This is fucking hilarious. he's just roasting Conan. So good.

[@hannahmacdonald3804]

They should bring Jonathan back to cohost to be honest

[@okrajoe]

Conan had all the great musical guests!

[@ZyxthePest]

Conan handpicked a large majority of the musical guests that would appear in the early days. I loved when he'd actually interview them. The Breeders interview is legendary.

[@petermetzner2671]

I saw Jonathan around 25 years ago at a Club In Vancouver, BC called the Railway Club. I really liked his irreverent style of writing. As a musician, I can hear a lot of his style in the Bare Naked Ladies, who IMHO I think are just inferior copycats.

[@user-dw7tk7zu3w]

Thanks for putting this up!

[@whatsforafters7843]

My pleasure, Lee. Not only do you get a great song, but Jonathan's barb's at the host are very entertaining, too. Thanks for your note of appreciation!

[@MrJonnyPepper]

Two of my greatest loves together

[@durango-CODEBUILDER]

Ye-yeah, got any good knock knock jokes

[@michaelbauers8800]

This reminds me of my younger days going to see some unique bands/artists. I first heard his music because of Joan Jett's cover album, which covered Roadrunner. LONG ago, one of the first CDs I bought, as memory serves.

[@BlueMHart]

"Conan the Carcarian" is what got me. Laughing so hard. I understood what he meant immediately, though it took Conan a moment lol

[@frankpeter6851]

I think he is kinda saying he's sick of being delightful and charming all the time...

[@GeoffWilde]

Conan the bad comedian, hahahaha so funny

[@DericBaneto]

For Chris 4:45

[@HG-pi3qp]

Heck yeah

[@ibefullofme]

He really doesn't like the host trying to interrupt him though. Jonathan seems like a nice guy, but I feel like he has some motive against tv hosts.

[@lawrencescott2824]

Guitar ,one more time- hootenanny with JR

[@skateboards5298]

That guitar... fuck... fuck... fuck...

[@eliasqueen4020]

Very cool thanks

[@MaySecond07]

That was SO 1990's!
