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 was another show from early in the band's Mary Ramsey era, featuring a variety of songs that were to be released
on the album "Earth Pressed Flat". The only song that could even be remotely considered as a Natalie-era song was "Angels of
Stone", which started life on the "Lost Songs" demo tape prior to being reinvented as a John & Mary song.
The sound on this recording is overdriven and as such can be a bit distorted during the loudest moments.
