well despite what Speedy posts here it sure doesn’t sound like a soundboard but hey its worth a listen and download for sure, I don’t normally post links to the guys posting audience recordings as you all know but this says its not so here ’tis! Posted mostly because its from Leicester where I went to college and had such fun (at least on the town) and thanks to my tutors historian Fred Orton and composer Gavin Bryars and some friends a few of whom are still in touch round about Christmas time


1987: In July 1987, 10,000 Maniacs released their 2nd album, In My Tribe, which was more pop oriented than than previous work. The disc proved to be their big breakthrough, staying on the Billboard charts for 77 weeks, peaking at No. 37. The album included tracks such as Like The Weather, What's The Matter Here, Hey Jack Kerouac, and a cover of Cat Steven's Peace Train, all of which received extensive play on FM radio and MTv. The album would be certified double platinum early the following year. This soundboard recording captures the band on tour in support
