I "loved" this guy "in his prime", but HOLY CRAP what happened to his voice??

Aw, no. There's more to life than studio versions. Leave it up!

@edwdixon5 Yes! A great song is a great song. Period. :)

Steve Tomczyk

Love the song. This version, the key that it's in, the recording...not so much. Marshall, come back to MKE. Shank Hall, we'll see you again. I'll bring my pill bottle for shaker on Cynical Girl. Moments dude! Rock!

@jackynjimy Leave it up. It's obvious that it's the recording. The music is great and you captured a one of a kind moment. Thanks.

@Faireweatherfriend I think it's more the poor quality of the video sound I took. The show was really good. I should probably take this clip down.

Bob Millard

He had a reputation for being mediocre live, this is way worse than that (not entirely his fault). But a really good songwriter and recording artist, obviously.

dag, stick to his studio stuff. he really fails live here...

can't believe I missed this...

@gibson3524 I'll give you that it is not a strong performance. BUT In their defense the audio engineering is ghastly.

Absolutely true, I met my wife on the Marshall Crenshaw website discussion board.

I'm shocked. I was a fan of Marshall's way back in the 1980s. I was one of the few people who bought his albums. I thought he was a unique talent. But his voice seems to have suffered and his band is awful. He flunks the line "I never thought I'd be in this situation" of the middle section and that's probably not a coincidence.......... I think Marshall could never have foreseen he'd be in this situation: trying to reproduce his fantastic recordings 25 years later with a mediocre backing band.

Actually, playing Marshall Crenshaw's music may prove an appropriate Litmus test for gauging datable women. I took a beautiful redhead to see Crenshaw perform on UNC's campus. She was totally bored with his music. As one might imagine, the would-be relationship didn't last much longer than the concert.

When you talk of Marshall understanding the Beatles, he lived it , I believe he played as John Lennon in the Broadway cast of Beatlemania. I sadly only saw the road cast but I'll be he was geat.

MC is a certified capital figure in the modern rock movement in this country and beyond. Think Big Star, Galaxie 500, The Connells, and all others who understood that the Beatles were more than a great butt-shaking group. They permanently altered the trajectory of popular culture and set a course for others to follow. Thanktully Marshall and the others above grabbed the torch and ran hard. Happy summer.

The only thing that kept Marshall Crenshaw from the main spotlight in the 80's were artists like Prince, the Ramones, Bruce, Pat Benatar, Journey and other mainstream artist that swamped the airways in the 1980's. I remember first hearing Marshall on 97.5 WPST in Trenton, NJ and thinking he was cool, great vocals, awesome guitar, but after only a couple of hits he disappeared into thin air. What a shame!!!!

I guess the juxtaposition of the two was interesting. I am probably a much bigger fan of MC than Avril. No aspersions cast on Avril, but I think MC is one of the great song writers. As MarshalltheIrish wrote I feel MC is underrated and was putting the number of views side by side to make a point. Glad to see MC views are going up.

That's such a shame. =(

That statistic has really creeped me out. Whenever You're On My Mind was one of the best songs from 1983. I'll take quality over quantity every time. Fifth years from now people who appreciate music will be playing Marshall Crenshaw songs and others like him, nobody will be playing Avril Lavigne, except perhaps her grandkids.
