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 recording of the final 10,000 Maniacs *headlining* show with Natalie in the band (the band's final performance with
Natalie was a true anticlimax - it was a non-headlining set at a radio station festival in NYC on July 28).

The encore of this show is almost entirely comprised of "Wishing Chair" songs, and John Lombardo joins the band for all of them.
A fitting end to the Natalie-era of the band.
