ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST | Aimee Mann - Hultsfred Festival, Sweden 15th October 2001

 Aimee Mann - Hultsfred Festival, Hultsfred, Sweden, 10-15-2001

Paul says : Really excellent sounding Aimee Mann concert recordings are very few and far between (and she's only released one live album), so when I found one this good, I post it straight away. This is either a soundboard or FM radio bootleg. Either way, it sounds as good as an official live album.

I'm especially happy to find this, because it took place after the release of what I consider her two strongest albums, the "Magnolia" soundtrack in 1999, and "Bachelor No. 2" in 2000. And checking just now, I see the crowd-sourced ratings at rateyourmusic.com also give those two albums her highest ratings. Every song is a winner.

There's not much banter between songs, but this seems to have been all she said. At one point between songs, she mentioned she just didn't feel like saying much. 

This album is 55 minutes long.
