Intro/Tuneup, Fear,
Frightened Just Because of You, The View, You Whisper, Field of Mars, Spark,
10,000 Miles, I Know I Won't
Rating: 8 Comments: Marty's first
solo appearance? Tape source was a little hissy, and it sound like the mic
overloaded a few times, but overall it's a good recording. Field of Mars
and The View don't work as well solo acoustic as some of his other Church
songs!

Rating: 9 for Knitting Factory, 10 for KCRW. Comments: The Knitting
Factory show is an excellent earlyMarty acoustic show! Andy Dare Mason
plays acoustic w/Marty, and gets to play one of his songs. The end of the
show is cut off... it sounded like they were getting ready to play another song
after New York Buddha. The KCRW show is excellent also. Marty plays
a few songs that were intended for Rhyme, but didn't make it to the
record. Interesting and long conversations w/Deidre O'Donogue, also.

Rating: 9.5 Comments: Great recording of Marty's last show
of the Rhyme tour! Amazing that it took over 10 years for his next solo
tour... Marty's in a good mood this night, and so is the crowd. A few
changes from the normal set he plays - most interesting is the final encore with
two songs from In Reflection that are rarely played live! He says he only
played I Know I Won't once previously on that tour, and hadn't played How Come
They Don't Touch the Ground before. Great stuff!
