Customer Reviews of Take Me to the Plaza

Love, love, love
I love Jonathan. I love Tommy. Great musicians, and if you've ever been to a show and approached them (It's extremely simple, they really are just regular guys), you'd find yourself even more impressed by them. I saw this DVD at a friend's, and it was like being right back at a show. Anyone who's been to a show knows the wonder and amazement in that, so what else can I possibly say?

"Wanna Hear Another One? Cos We Got More Stuff, We Got More"
Jonathan Richman and Tommy Larkins. They're not The Modern Lovers. They are JR - all grown up, all happy & content; and TL-
Loyal Tommy (Tommy the Saint) keeping quiet and accompanying JR flawlessly.
This DVD will introduce you to the kind of gigs they perform these days -JR sharing his feelings thoughts and views with the world through his songs and intros. In real life the shows are much more colourful and vary from night to mood.
Take Me to the Plaza includes a few firm favourites, but mostly stuff from his last album Her Mystery Not of High Heels and quite a few new and brilliant tracks. Fans will have their favourites, but mine has to be the title track (track 12). Corny though it sounds, each word is sung with passion and is truly heartfelt. Also you can't help but dance to it. The feel is similar to City vs Country (a track from one of JR's old albums- You Must Ask the Heart)- he wants to live in the city where everything is going on, but also wants to be in the country. A dilemma most of us must share. I haven't still made up my mind -both is proving to be just too expensive!
If you like songs that are about life and people and you aren't into phoney bands, then this DVD is worth buying.

shirt or no shirt
This dvd may well be the only place you'll see Jonathan wearing an ironed shirt. Ironed or not ironed, who cares? - he's just the best musician / writer / person...
Of course I'm not biased
Jonathan is a live performer, and no cd or dvd can ever take the place of being at his shows. If you're not really a Jonathan or Tommy fan, you may not be too impressed by this. But fans will smile quietly. The best part of the dvd is the second interview. True Jonathan.
