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!

Notes:

This is a high-quality soundboard recording of the band opening for the Grateful Dead in Buffalo. They don't play anything
particularly unusual, but it's a strong overall performance and I'm especially fond of this version of "Planned Obsolescence".

FYI, there's a brief glitch towards the end of "You Happy Puppet" - nothing too distracting, but worth mentioning anyway.
