10,000 Maniacs
Halloween live at Disney Institute
Orlando, FL 1998

Can't find a lot of info about this recording.
It seems to have had some grey-area limited release
but the actual gig is hard to pin down.
They were in Manchester UK on Halloween 98 I've read.
They mention B 52s as the headline band
but again this is hard to pin down.
There are refs to B 52s playing an unknown venue in Orlando
on November 6th...not quite Halloween if that was the case
and Maniacs were still in the UK.
Good sound though with Mary Ramsey on vocals.
Natalie Merchant having left the band in 1993.
I actually prefer Mary as she doesn't have a lisp
and is a great violaist...violaette...whatever.
My fav song is 'Gun Shy' so they don't do that one obs.
Oh yeah...it's mp3.
regards
Titus

  1. Thanks for sharing. First time I will listen to Mary Ramsey. Have to check it out, it's mp3 but has good sound. My ears will tell me.

  2. Btw, I have the 1993 concert in LA and they play Gun Shy. It's only 160 kbps but sounds very nice to me. Interested ?

    1. I have quite a few thanks Derek. There's an old compilation with 'best' live versions of the songs. Several CDs worth but I've never really checked it all out
