Notes from the original uploader:

This is almost certainly the best quality “Wishing Chair”-era show in circulation, although a substantial number
of songs that would have been performed that night are clearly not included. Nevertheless, it’s worth
downloading this show for the rare version of “Angels of Stone” (never released, outside of the leaked 1986 demo
tape referred to as “Lost Songs”, which I will be uploading soon) and the fantastic live cover of “Wildwood
Flower”, which later ended up as a b-side but with a much slower tempo.

The interviews with Natalie and John are also enjoyable. It’s nice to hear them both sound so happy and enthusiastic.

Many more rare Maniacs recordings will be coming soon – enjoy!

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 60+ 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).

Although I will be uploading most of my collection in chronological order, from 1983
onward, I’m going to begin with a brand new 2015 transfer of the band’s 1986 appearance
on the “SPIN Radio Concert”, recorded directly from my vinyl LP using a brand new
turntable. I think this pre-FM version is probably the best possible capture of this show,
and supercedes all other circulating versions. And since this is a “Wishing Chair”-era
concert, it’s appropriate to begin the 30th anniversary celebration with this recording.

Enjoy!

Comments: This was the first time I saw the Maniacs – I loved it then and I stilI love this show! I walked into the Calabash early that evening thinking “whoa – this is a Jamaican club, with Jamaican dudes hanging out – what am I, a skinny white suburban kid, doing here?” Silly question, since my fave local band at the time, the Colorblind James
Experience, was the opening band…By time I left the Calabash that night, I was thinking “wow – what was THAT???”

This band, with their whirling dervish singer, had me groovin’ like crazy by time they got to Planned  Obsolescence…after that, there was no turning back! Eventually, I got up near the front of the crowd, close enough to see Natalie kneeling on the stage, reaching down for pieces of paper she was reading/singing from (see * above)…never saw that before at a concert!

This is a good recording (and the only one I know of from that night) – I’d rate it a B/B+ for sound, and an A+ for song selection and overall ability to get me dancin’!

Thanks go out to the excellent 10,000 Maniacs fansite http://www.smalleststep.com – I was ableto decipher many titles using their resources!

Hope all you maniacs like this one – enjoy! – Zeb
