This is one of the earliest recordings of the band beginning to road-test some of the
upcoming “In My Tribe” material. The audience is nearly impossible to hear, which makes
me think that this may be sourced from the soundboard, but unfortunately the sound is
extremely bright with minimal low end.

It’s impressive to think that most of these “In My Tribe” songs were written immediately
following John Lombardo’s departure from the band on July 14 (twelve weeks earlier) and
that they were already being performed live in their near-final versions by mid-September.

Of note: by the time of this concert, “Poison in the Well” had fully evolved from the earlier
song known as “G Suspended”. Of course it was ultimately rejected for “In My Tribe” and
held for release on “Blind Man’s Zoo.”

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).

This tape was recorded from the aisle seat in fifth row center,
in a location affected by a condition I call “sat-too-close-to-
the-stage-at-the-palladium-itis.” Not only was the sound behind
me, but there was a lot of commotion in the aisle, most of it
caused by one of my friends. Howie had a seat elsewhere in the
building, and as a photographer, he naturally wanted to improve
his position by joining me at my seat. The ushers initially
accommodated him, but soon began to clear the aisle aggressively.
They probably knew that Peter Gabriel was going to enter the
audience early in the show. We were completely shocked when Peter
came down our aisle, and you’ll hear us say hello as we shook his
hand. What’s truly shocking is how many times Howie showed up at
my seat and the numerous threats from the ushers that he ignored.
Considering the fact that he shared my seat at times, I can’t believe
that I was able to keep the recorder hidden. It’s stunning that he
didn’t end up on the street. At one point, he was physically removed,
but amazingly, he showed up again during the encore! You might think
I would have copies of the photos after all of this, but you would be
wrong. I don’t recall ever seeing them. Nevertheless, this is a great
performance by Peter Gabriel in his historic return to NYC, but if
you’re looking for a clean, quiet capture, this isn’t it.

One of my friends had information about an Atlantic Records party for
the band, so after the show, we drove to a restaurant (Chinese?) on
49th Street (Lexington Ave?) and stood on the corner. Two of my friends
volunteered to be scouts and attempted to sneak into the restaurant.
Somehow, this involved taking off their shoes and crawling on the floor,
but they were caught and soon returned to us on the corner. Before
long, the band began to arrive in separate limousines. Steve Hunter
was first, and he was extremely friendly as he signed autographs for
us while imitating W.C. Fields. I asked if he would like the honor
of bringing us in as his guests, but he said, “I can’t do that I’m
afraid because I’m in as a guest.” The next vehicle to arrive contained
Robert Fripp, and we were completely intimidated as he crossed the street.
We weren’t really expecting him to say anything, so it was no surprise
when he walked by us. All we could manage was an awkward, “Great to have
you back Robert.” Larry Fast was in the next limo, and he spent several
minutes with us signing autographs. I asked him if he was working on
anything with Nektar, and he said he would be “bouncing in and out of
the studio between tour dates.” The final limo arrived, and Peter Gabriel
and his manager, Tony Smith, stepped out. Peter spent over five minutes
with us signing autographs while we pleaded with him to take us to the party.
Peter gently turned us down and told us that the guest list was “incredibly tight”
and that he “had a lot of people (he) wanted to ask but couldn’t.” We discussed
a range of other subjects, and you won’t be surprised to hear that Peter Gabriel
is extremely polite and respectful to his fans. I recorded the entire encounter
and considered including it here but decided that it’s just for the ears of those
that were there. (Translation – we sound moronic at times.)

Geetarz Comments:

The date on the CD jacket is incorrectly listed as July 14, 1974.

Remember the old days? I think this was one of the first CD boots I ever bought. Back then you’d have to wait for the post to bring
“Goldmine” magazine, which at that point was a roughly telephone sized tabloid (well, I exaggerate) and if you spent hours poring
over the ads you’d come across cryptic titles, send your postal money order to Germany, or Luxembourg, or Italy ($25/single,
$50/double, plus postage) and wait, and if you were lucky, a couple of months later you’d get a package in the mail and voila! You’d
have some idea of what you had just purchased.

Back then the idea of just having tons of cool stuff available at your fingertips on a torrent site was the thing of science fiction.
Not to mention having so much information and feedback easily available.

So here it is, a fun show. I certainly enjoyed playing it today, and I hope you do, too!

Decent recording for this vintage. New Feeling cuts in on second verse, might be a
song or two missing before that (a newspaper review of this show mentions that The
Book I Read and 96 Tears were also played). Some tape damage audible here and there,
not too bad. The “tick tock” sound heard on quiet parts is from the recorder’s motor.

Note from the taper: Recorded at CBGB on a crappy cassette recorder. This was recorded
on December 21, 1976. The group was still a trio; you can hear someone in the crowd ask
“What’s Jerry Harrison’s status?” Enjoy! – James Britt.
