Marshall Crenshaw - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 5-2-1983

Here's another episode of the "PBS Soundstage" TV show. This time, it stars Marshall Crenshaw.

Crenshaw was really hot stuff in the music business for about two years, 1982 and 1983. That's when he released his first two albums, "Marshall Crenshaw" and "Field Day." Both of them got a lot of critical acclaim, and contained hit songs. Unfortunately, he couldn't maintain that level of success after that. But, given that history, it's not surprising that his Soundstage episode came in 1983, probably the peak of his popularity.

I've already posted two BBC concerts Crenshaw did, in 1982 and 1983. The 1983 one took place less than two months after this one, so it's not surprising the set lists are pretty similar. However, I do want to post all the worthy Soundstage episodes I can find, so I'm posting this despite the similarity to the other 1983 concert I've posted from him.

While there are similarities, there also are differences. Most notably, Crenshaw performed some cover versions in this concert he didn't perform in the 1983 BBC concert: "Soldier of Love (Lay Down Your Arms)," "Got a Lot o' Livin' to Do," "Stop Her on Sight (S.O.S.)," "Brown Eyed Handsome Man," and "White Lightning."

This album is 56 minutes long.
