All the expected well known songs were played, but also some interesting rarities, including a couple that were unreleased at the time, such as "No Way to Treat a Friend" and "The Ballad of Squeaky Fromme." This was a full band show, with some players coming and going, depending on the song, and some songs done just as an acoustic duo. The result is a really nice concert, in my opinion. (Although technically every song show have that since they all were edited for the applause problem.) That's why those two have "" in their titles. So I had to find other live versions of those songs and patch in the missing spots. For the songs "he History of Us" and "Closer to Fine," there were short sections in the middle that were missing. There were a couple of additional problems though. The good news is that's done, and things should sound normal now. But it was a pain for me because for virtually every song I had to find applause from other songs and patch that in at the end, to make the cheering long enough. Anyways, the good news is that whoever did that almost always recovered in time to record the banter between songs. This was done way back in the day to save tape, though it's a bit strange to still be happening in the 1990s. The bad news, especially for me, is that whoever recorded it off the radio seems to have stopped the recording during the applause after every song. Luckily, I found this one, which stands above the rest from that time period due to the fact that it was professionally recorded and broadcast on the radio. There are tons of bootlegs (which you can find at ), but I was surprised how few there are with excellent sound quality. There's a great 1995 official live album called "1200 curfews," so I went looking for something a little earlier than that. I wanted to hear something new (for me) from them, so I considered live recordings. I especially enjoy their music from the late 1980s and early 1990s. I continue to think that the Indigo Girls are underappreciated these days.
