Marshall Crenshaw - 1985-12-20 - Philadelphia, PA (FM)

Those of you have been long time visitors to So Many Roads know that Marshall Crenshaw is one of my favorite rockers, a musician whose talents, unfortunately, have simply never been appreciated by the masses. Famed critic Robert Christgau has heaped praise on Crenshaw’s first two albums, calling them perfect - go here to read the review. Trust him - he’s knows of what he speaks! Unfortunately, I've only gotten to see Crenshaw once, at the famed Maxwell's in Hoboken back in October 1996. I was supposed to see him again in March 2020 at the Stanhope House in New Jersey, but COVID cancelled that and its never been rescheduled.

In any event, this WMMR-FM broadcast captures Crenshaw in Philadephia on December 20, 1985, 4 decades ago today.  A big thanks to draftervoi at Voodoo Wagon for this one!
