This recording is distant, airy and not very clear. For collectors only. Made available for the first time ever.

The 10,000 Maniacs concert in Groton was held at a military base.

Greenpeace had been touring with the band, setting up information booths and distributing literature about the affects of nuclear pollution caused from Navy subs.

The Groton concert located at the U.S. submarine base, where Navy officials wouldn't allow Greenpeace to set up its booth, not even just to answer questions.

The summer of 93 at the Subbase in Groton was one of the few years they allowed and hosted various concerts for the public.

It had rained earlier that day and the skies were dark and it looked like it might rain again at any time. Fortunately it didn't.

This was a large open outdoor space with armed guards posted at entry points. I didn't have a ticket for this night,

but i still wanted to attempt recording it. I stood on the sidewalk watching through the fence.

I originally had brought an external mic and had it plugged in at the very start of the show, but quickly decided not to use it and unplugged it.

You'll hear the sound change about 9 seconds into track 01. Either way, this sounds distant, with various cuts and other tape issues.

Since I was on the sidewalk with a busy road to my back, I stopped the tape recorder at the very beginning of Track 06 "Trouble Me",

it cuts off after 10 seconds. I wanted to walk to another area hoping to find a quieter place to record.

This also caused me to miss the next song "If You Intend". I couldn't find a better place,

I ended up walking back to the same spot i started taping from. I resumed recording as Track 07 "Eat For Two" just begins.

Track 09 and 10 suffer from a slight bit of tape warble.

The very beginning of track 11 cuts in due to a tape flip.

Between Tracks 16 and 17 there is a quick stop / start, but no music missing.

Track 20 has Natalie giving an Anti Nuclear speech at a Nuclear submarine base, quite ballsy for the time period.

During her little speech You can hear some boos in the crowd.

Track 21 and 22 have some noticeable car and traffic noise on the wet road behind me.

Track 23 "Gun Shy" cuts off after 35 seconds. I ran out of tape. The last 3 songs are missing.

This was a bit tough to figure out and track. I'm not a fan of Natalie and the Maniacs. I'm surprised i even went and taped this.

It's one of my worst recordings. With everything that is wrong with this recording,

I thought after 20 plus years it was time to share this. I know there are at least 2 other sources, besides mine.

This is for collectors only and not for the casual fan. I've included a newspaper scan advertisement from this show.

Check out the samples and enjoy this, if you can.
