1992-spring: general foods international coffees coffee house sessions - show 25
an excellent sounding radio show from right before amy and emily went into the studio to record "rites of passage". all the tracks were done live in the studio and there are differences in the arrangements over what would eventually be released, especially with "ghost". terrific performances and good interview segments, reported only 200 original cds were created and sent out to radio stations, this is taken directly from one of those discs.

1992-09-20: central park - new york, new york
a good sounding recording of an afternoon outdoor show in central park from the "rites of passage" tour. this was the last american show before the tour headed over the europe for a month (including some shows opening for the neville brothers), and in addition to featuring the band (sara lee, jerry marotta, scarlet rivera, jane scapatoni) it has a very lighthearted feel. standouts include a fun version of "bartender's blues", a terrific "tangled up on blue" (scarlet rivera really stands out on this one), and a great rendition of "down by the river". there are also some really goofy interactions with the crowd, including amy ray clipping her nails after "crazy game".

1992-10-23: kridthuset - copenhagen, denmark
an excellent sounding recording of a "rites of passage" show from the european leg of the tour. this is a band show with sara lee on bass, scarlet rivera on violin, jane scarpantoni on cello, and budgie on drums. the strings and drumming are featured throughout, including a really unique drum part on "let it be me" and featured strings in leu of soc lyrics on "chickenman". "tangled up in blue" is terrific, and "down by the river" was an unplanned second encore, and although there are a few dropouts in sound in places, it is a great off the cuff rendition with amy throwing in some stream of conscious lyrics towards the end. one additional note about this show - there was a fair amount of controversy in the long time fan community surrounding the rites of passage tour, with the shows growing from simple productions with amy, emily, and eventually sara lee, to fully staged productions with a full band and stage backdrops and significant light shows, the video for 'joking' shows a bit of the new look. anyway, there may be some who disagree to this day, but listening to the freshness in the arrangements and performances of these songs, all the controversy seems like more of a moot point now than ever.
1992-10-25: tivoli - utrecht, the netherlands
1992-11-15: civic center - montgomery, alabama
a really good sounding recording from the "rites of passage" tour. after 6 months of touring with a full band and a large stage show, this is the first night of a back to basics acoustic duo tour of the southest united states. there is a wonderful freshness to the show as they work through the new arrangements and make on the fly changes to the setlist. standouts include "jonas and ezekial", emily performing "river", amy performing "the ballad of squeaky fromme", and michelle malone guesting on "the water is wide".
