ScottishTeeVee is a treasure trove of archive music performances and well worth a regular visit. Today's discovery is half an hour of Jonathan Richman, recorded live at the Otto Zutz Club in Barcelona, Spain on 10th April 1986.
It was originally broadcast on TV3 Televisió de Catalunya, so it's heavily edited and intercut with other footage and interview snippets with Jonathan, meaning that several of the songs are little more than snippets.
As a whole though, it's a lot of fun. Jonathan dances badly, claps his hands and - on Wipe Out and La Bamba - blows some sax.

Went to see Chuck Prophet and the Cumbian Shoes - definitely a Tom Petty meets Jonathan Richman vibe going on; it’s all about the songs!
