This is a fairly rare FM broadcast of 10,000 Maniacs performing in their hometown of Jamestown, N.Y. My guess is that it was recorded and broadcast by the community college’s radio station. The interview clips are interesting, but I don’t believe they include any hint of John Lombardo’s impending departure (which happened roughly 6 weeks after this concert took place).
I doubt that this is the complete concert. However, it still includes two relative rarities: a performance of Brian Eno’s “Burning Airlines Give You So Much More”, and the Maniacs’ own song “Orange”. This is the only post-1984 version of “Orange” in my collection, at least until they resumed playing it during the 1990 “Time Capsule” tour.
10,000 Maniacs’ “The Wishing Chair” L.P. will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year (original release date – September 23, 1985). Since it seems apparent that the Maniacs are not being given the remaster / bonus tracks / box set treatment that they so richly deserve, I’ve decided to upload all of my 70+ live and rare 10,000 Maniacs recordings during the coming weeks. Although many of these recordings will be re-seeds of previous Dime torrents, a substantial number have never appeared on the Dime (and many others haven’t been shared since the Dime’s previous incarnation as “easytree.org” circa 2005).
Enjoy!

ahh – 10,000 junkies can make even a grumpy old man like me smile – as one of not-too-many acts of the 1990’ies! But this is opening a can of worms – because this makes me really long for some Natalie Merchant as a soloist – that voice, those melodies! And she is quite elusive when it comes to roio’s… Should you by accident be in possession of such items, I’d love to be in the receiving end for them 🙂
I have one Natalie show, but I’m not entirely sure where it is at the moment. If I find it I’ll share it.
