By 1989, Chapman was a big star, after her self-titled debut album sold about 20 million copies. At the time of this concert, she was still a few months away from releasing her second album, "Crossroads." A couple of songs she performed, "Subcity" and "All That You Have Is Your Soul," would appear on that album.
None of the other musical acts spoke about AIDS in their banter between songs, but she did. Here's how a Los Angeles Times article at the time put it: "Chapman, known for her pointed avoidance of between-song chatter, told a respectful audience that the occasion demanded talk as well as music. She decried a lack of government commitment to fighting AIDS, then called for listeners to have personal commitment that might lead to change."
The music is unreleased, but the sound quality is excellent.
This album is 50 minutes long.

Thought you may be interested in this. Bruce Springsteen, Steve Van Zandt, Bon Jovi, and Southside Johnny in 1998 did a benefit called the King Benefit. They perform each other's songs all together. It was before the E Street Band reunion yet most were on stage. Quality is great and is on archive.org and has been in the Springsteen sphere of fans for years.
