On Monday's Remain in Love post I mentioned that I was unaware that Jerry Harrison had been a member of the Modern Lovers.
This was probably because he was in the original incarnation of the band from 1970-1974. I am more familiar with the post 1976 line up particularly the one on Modern Lovers Live - namely Jonathan Richman (guitar and vocals), Leroy Raddiffe (guitar and vocals), D.Sharpe (drums and percussion) and Asa Brebner (bass) .This was the album I sought out for a listen after drafting Monday's post.
Three of their more famous songs for you today.You used to know that summer had officially arrived whenever Drew posted That Summer Feeling. The aforementioned band members all get a name check on the live version of The Morning of Our Lives.
Gimme one more. Gimme one more. Roadrunner (once)? No Roadrunner (twice)
Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers - That Summer Feeling
Modern Lovers - The Morning of Our Lives
Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers - Roadrunner (Twice)
Not sure whether That Summer Feeling actually includes the Modern Lovers but it is too good a tune not to share.
ReplyDeleteLove this. Please repost the Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers -Roadrunner (Thrice) version you have shared in the past.
