Dead Links & Re-Posts

If you come across a dead link, please leave a comment under the post and we will do our best to repost it within 72 hours. Please be polite when you ask for a re-post - a little kindness goes a long way. Please limit your requests to 1 a week - lots of other folks are asking and I just can't get to them all if you overload me with requests. And please don't ask me to re-post every show by a particular artist. As said, I can handle requests for a show a week, but if you are asking me to re-post dozens of dead links, I simply won't be able to handle that. Thanks for understanding.

Bruce Cockburn - 1991-10-29 - Toronto, Canada (FM)

CANADA - Bruce Cockburn was born in Canada in 1945, and established a strong following in that country after he began his musical career. He didn’t have much impact in the US until 1980 when his single, Wondering Where The Lions Are, went to #21 on the Billboard charts. His 1984 album Stealing Fire, produced the well know singles Lovers In A Dangerous Time and If I Had A Rocket Launcher. While I owned that disc, I soon lost touch with Cockburn’s music, moving on to other bands. I reconnected with his material, however, in the early 1990s, thanks to Jerry Garcia. At a concert at Madison Square Garden in November 1991, I heard Garcia play a wonderful tune called Waiting On A Miracle. Knowing it wasn’t a Jerry original, I did some research, and lo and behold, learned it was written by Cockburn about the revolution in Nicaragua. As long time readers of this blog know, I have always credited the Dead for introducing me to a host of music and styles that I might never otherwise learned about. This FM broadcast captures Cockburn on his home turf in Canada on October 29, 1991, 29 years ago today. If you’re not familiar with his work, download this give it a listen - I think you’ll be very surprised and pleased.
