I was at the UK leg of this Tour, London Town & Country Club, 26/11/90 where we chatted to Natalie and she signed my Secrets of the I Ching LP. Still have the ticket stub framed with LP and personalised “Paul x Natalie” autographed picture. Bless her she was concerned that I was full of cold and that my friend and I had driven 350 miles to the Capital. Was great listening to them blasting out some of the older tunes with John.

You have quite a collection of live recordings. Thank you for uploading this 10,000 Maniacs concert, Wesley.

I was at this concert with my wife (we were so young then). What a night! I remember it all very well... thanks for posting!!! While this recording captures everything heard, I remember... towards the later songs when Natalie came out from backstage wearing (what appeared to be) an African tribal mask. This was, of course, Halloween! Also, during this song ‘A Campfire Song’ when Natalie pulled someone from the audience to help her sing… I remember her (the other girl’s) voice sounded a lot better live than in this recording… and the whole place was really energized and happy that Natalie had done that.

@@midnight1963 That is so cool! I saw them open for REM in New Orleans '85, & she also pulled someone on stage at that concert. I saw that J. Lombardo and Mary Ramsay played in Chi town that night too. (RIP Rob Buck)
