Description:
This is an audience recording of Natalie and Rob performing a short acoustic set (either minimally amplified, or entirely unamplified) at Let It Be Records in Minneapolis. If you’ve ever wondered what an acoustic version “Scorpio Rising” sounds like, this is probably your one and only chance to find out.
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!
