This is from my master, yet another recording from that strange little Aiwa cassette player-recorder that served me so faithfully on two continents.  Sound is a little bit hissy, and slightly muddy. Margo's adorable little comments to the audience are kind of hard to make out sometimes.

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 94) 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 has not been posted before. 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).
do not sell this recording.
Share freely, losslessly and gaplessly.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again--I miss the Forum.  Theatre in the Round, surrounded by lawns.  Torn down and replaced with the concrete monstrosity known as the Molson Ampitheatre. 
Perfect night to see the Junkies--a little on the cool side, but not chilly.  I was sitting on the lawns with a friend of mine, eating cherries (the occasional "pth" sound on the tape is me spitting out pits--sorry about that).  At one point, a light rain started up, but it just seemed to fit the mood.  Tape sounds better than I remember, with Margo's wonderful voice very up front.  Suffers from the usual problems with outdoor tapes--a little wind, planes flying by, etc., but actually, I really enjoyed it again. 

Well, I'm finally getting around to digitizing my 700+ cassettes (at my wife's insistence--she wants them out of the house), so I'm going to start posting some goodies here. I taped many a show in the Toronto area from the late '80's to the late '90's, and also recorded a lot of radio broadcasts, mostly from CFNY, 102.1 in Toronto. Hope you stumble across something you like, or even a show you were at!

addendum: I have had many comments about the fate of my tapes, so for those worried about them...the masters I am boxing up and storing in my parents' basement. The others (mixed tapes, recorded LP's, etc) are getting tossed. My wife is not evil or insensitive--we live in a small place, and the many boxes were getting in the way.  This is something I'VE wanted to do for awhile, as well.  She just gave me the push. Oh, and she doesn't have shelves of makeup, or hundreds of shoes, no matter what stereotypes you care to buy in to. Her comic collection, however....

EDIT: I just opened box number 3 of tapes, and found one labelled "Cowboy Junkies, Ontario Place, pt. 2".  If only I had labelled the first one as part 1! Anyway, enjoy an extended version, now with 4 more songs! If you downloaded this before, you just need everything from track 17 on down. 

Enjoy!

This is number 50b in an ongoing series.
