Notes


Tracy Chapman
Some Saturday Night Live Performances
I don't know if she has appeared on SNL since then, though I'd assume so. Here are the two recordings I have of SNL performances. I don't know the lineage here, since it was part of a collection of various performances traded on cd, but with the slight rumble, which doesn't detract in the least, I'm guessing VHS to cd recorder or hard disc. Four out of five songs here are performed solo acoustic, except for Give Me One Reason, and yes, the date is correct. The song was written years before it became a hit. So here's what we have:

November 19, 1988
Mountains 'O Things
Freedom Now
Baby Can I Hold You

December 16, 1989
Give Me One Reason (with full band)
All That You Have Is Your Soul

Enjoy this small set.
