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!

This is one of the first 10,000 Maniacs shows after "Blind Man's Zoo" had been officially released (on May 16).

The sound quality is very good, but unfortunately my copy of Disc 2 was damaged by disc rot and the tracks could not be
extracted. Does anyone else have a copy, and if so would you consider uploading? Many thanks!
