first seeded in 2009 (with no dolby, EQ or processing.) reseeded in 2011 with a flac > wav > flac (sb's aligned) reconversion to remove the sbe's.
a this and that, reeltime production. Do not sell this recording. Share freely, losslessly and gaplessly.

OU comments: this was the early stages of the tour of their album "the caution horses", including 7 songs from the not-yet released (studio) album. Their previous release is a live album (from Toronto, Ontario's Church of the Holy Trinity in Nov. 27, 1987 concert), recorded with one microphone and the band surrounding it. This concert includes 6 songs heard in that recording (released in 1988).
Only 2 songs here are heard in the band's 1986 debut album "whites off earth now" (shining moon and me and the devil) which is an all but 1 song covers album.
maybe the Junkies' biggest hit around here (until "a common disaster" in 1994) is heard here (Sweet Jane). apparently
there are at least 3 sources available for this concert, and they all sound like they could be good ones (according to etree, it's even available for free DL there)
and the dime search engine put me through a search of nearly 400 torrents to tell me they have 4 Cowboy Junkies torrents on their tracker, and none of them is this concert, which I believe has been posted from a shopkin source FM recording,
and more recently from another uploader.
this recording was first posted in 2009. it is my own FM master reel recorded from WBCN as it happened (not pre-recorded).
the band starts playing before they're introduced, and it cuts in slightly but the entire stage introduction is included. once the recording starts it doesn't end until the announcer says good night. No tape flip or interruption. all the encore
announcer gabble is in there (there's not alot).

This sounds excellent. The Trinity Sessions, which many of these songs are from, was an album I listened to a lot back in the Spring of 1989. I shoulda been at this show in Boston, with Elaine, the lost love of my life, who was living there at that time, 1000 miles away from me in the midwest, where I may well have been listening to that album and thinking of her as they played. Funny how particular music becomes so associated with certain scenes and people and periods of our lives.

Thank you for this show I didn't even know existed, but which feels somehow like autobiography.
