Rosanne Cash - Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis, MN, 2-9-1991

I'm posting this Rosanne Cash bootleg concert even though it's rather similar to another one I posted, at Slim's in San Francisco, just two months before this. Both were promoting her 1990 album "Interiors." I just really like Cash, and I especially like "Interiors," which I think is her best album. But the concerts are actually fairly different. The Slim's one has three songs this was does not have, and this one has nine songs that one doesn't have (helped by the fact this one is about 20 minutes longer). Plus there's a lot of banter between songs, and all of that is different. Oh, and the Slim's concert featured her then-husband country star Rodney Crowell on some songs, and he wasn't present for this one.

Another key factor is that both concerts sound great. Like the Slim's one, this one is a pristine soundboard. The only thing I had to fix was that I boosted her vocals for all the banter. But I tend to do that for most concert recordings, since people don't talk nearly as loud as they sing. 

Cash played acoustic guitar, and was backed by a lead guitarist and bassist. But strangely, both of them had laryngitis at the time, so weren't able to sing much. For one song, she actually brought out her manager to sing harmony vocals!

One think I really appreciate about her "Interiors" album is that it's so emotionally honest and intense. I even liken it to John Lennon's great 1970 "Plastic Ono Band" album in that way. Her marriage to Rodney Crowell was falling apart, and she wasn't shy about documenting that in song. This concert has that in spades, with some unreleased songs like "Private Moments," "Bedroom Lies," and "Road Widow" that apparently were too revealing or embarrassing to include on the album.

This concert is an hour and 28 minutes long.

Boy, did I get lucky with the cover photo, because it's from this exact concert. Furthermore, I thought this concert was from 9-2-1991, but I found out from the photo that it actually was from 2-9-1991, so I was able to fix that.
