Yep, the 'Mats and the CVB are the two standouts in that set. And it looks like Haley has indeed hired Dave's old intern to type the setlists--"machstick"?!?

"Wicked Game" is 20 years old?  My heart hurts.

indeed, it was released in '89 but didn't hit until a year or 2 later, iirc.

It was a big enough hit that my then girlfriend gave me the disc for my birthday in March 1990.

I remember driving around with a cassette a friend had made for me of the LP in Sept of '89. The "Wicked" single however, didn't chart until Dec of '90; the song had been used in David Lynch's Wild at Heart.

Actually I didn't have a girlfriend in spring of '90 (or for that matter the entire 89-90 academic year, my first at UCSB), that memory was from '91.  The girlfriend in question was from Berkeley, and her best friend was Chaka Khan's god-daughter.  She had pix of them together.
