Notes:

This is the first 10,000 Maniacs concert that I ever attended, and this recording was made by one of my friends and is a transfer from my first generation cassette. I tried recording this show as well, but security caught me during the second song and confiscated my tape. No worries, though – my friend’s recording was better than mine anyway.

This concert was part of the band’s “Blind Man’s Zoo” pre-tour (the album wasn’t released until May 16), and Natalie actually announces the album title for the first time at the end of “Dust Bowl”. The show is almost entirely comprised of “In My Tribe” and “B.M.Z.” tracks, with the closing song “Scorpio Rising” being the only pre-“I.M.T.” song of the night.

I can’t remember how my friend got into the soundcheck, but he was able to record the band rehearsing three songs. The sound quality of the soundcheck songs is noticably worse, and includes some loud and annoying chatter from someone standing next to the taper.

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!

Description:

This is a recording of unknown origin – it’s either a moderate-to-high generation soundboard or FM recording, or a very good audience recording. It’s possible that the band was opening for someone else, or that they were playing as part of a festival, since the set is fairly short. If they were headlining this show, then the recording must be considered to be incomplete – this could not possibly be the entire headlining set.

The setlist seems fairly standard for this era, with the exception of the unreleased “ABC Lullaby” which is a very pretty piano-based song in the style of “Verdi Cries” or the similar unreleased song “After Talking to Myself” (see Chicago 4-14-88, uploaded separately).

Giving a Big Thanks to Ken G. for passing his masters over to me, so they can finally be heard.

Excellent Sound Quality

This version of The Band has 3 of the original members (Rick, Levon and Garth) with the addition of Jim Weider who replaced original guitarist Robbie Robertson.

Sadly missing in this line up is the orignal piano player Richard Manuel who had passed away 6 months earlier.

As i was digging through Ken’s box of tapes i spotted this recording and i instantly knew i had a gem here.

In fact this particular concert has never surfaced anywhere in circulation.

The Band played 2 nights here at the Talkhouse. This is the first nights recording.

To be honest I didn’t know much about The Band.

I was basically hearing them for the first time while transferring the tapes.

I really enjoyed it and became an instant fan.

I did a search here on Dime and only saw a couple old torrents.

I looked over on db.etree.org and noticed that many of there shows were taped,

but hardly traded and almost none were flac’d and torrented.

Why isn’t there a flood of The Band here?

They played different set lists all the time. Not boring in the least.

They had influenced a lot of musicians through the decades,

such as The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan.

Along with a countless newer bands.

Check out the samples and grab up this gem, brought to light for the first time ever.

I need help on the set list. please chime in with song titles.

I expect this show to get some attention. The Quality is Great..

  1. What’s the Matter Here? (early version)

  10. Like the Weather (early version)
  11. Sister Rose (early version)
  12. Planned Obsolescence
  13. Pit Viper
  14. Daktari

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

  15. Folie a Deux (early ‘Please Forgive Us’)

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.

This is my first torrent upload so I hope all’s well with it…
A friend that worked on the tour handed me the tape years ago and just said, “Here ya go.”
It features the big band with horns and back up singers. The sound quality is excellent with just slight hiss. Dead air was cut and Goodbye Sister Disco had a break which was removed. I know I always appreciate samples so I’ll try to post a couple below. Thanks to y’all for some great music- hope you enjoy this.
Here ya go!
