k.d. lang - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 8-16-1993

Here's another episode of the great TV show "PBS Soundstage." This time, it's singer-songwriter k.d. lang from 1993. 

(By the way, note that for one year, the program used the name "Center Stage" instead of "Soundstage." This is one of the shows from that year. But I'm calling it "Soundstage" to be consistent with all of the other many years of the show.) 

This concert took place around the time of lang's peak popularity. The year before, she released the studio album "Ingenue." It sold over two million copies in the U.S., mainly due to the hit single "Constant Craving." At the time of this concert, she was still touring to support that album, even though it took place over a year later. 

1992 was also an eventful year for lang, because that year she came out as openly lesbian. The reason I mention that is due to the banter in track 5, where she teases she's about to announce her lesbian status for the first time. That was a joke, because surely the vast majority of fans in the audience knew that already, since it made news headlines at the time (and caused some country radio stations to stop playing her songs). And she did the same joke in all her concerts that year. I think she drew the joke out way, way too long (over two minutes), but whatever.

This concert has some song edits, because this was one of those episodes where some non-musical segments were included, and sometimes narrative talk ran over parts of songs. Also, more than the first half of the song "Crying" was missing. I found another soundboard bootleg from 1993 and used that to fill in the missing section, but it wasn't an ideal fit. You can probably still hear the transition. But those are the reasons some songs have "[Edit]" in the titles.

This album is 54 minutes long.
