I found this lovely bootleg on Soulseek. The sound quality is very excellent (though there is an inexplicable 'clicking' during the second half of "Emily"), and Newsom gives an impeccable performance. I am posting this so that more fans can get their hands on it.
She begins with solo performances of Milk-Eyed Mender tracks "Bridges and Balloons" and "The Book of Right-On." Later on, she performs Ys, in its entirety, with her touring band (later dubbed the "Ys Street Band;" Ha!). She finishes with "Sadie" and an absolutely indispensable rendition of "Peach, Plum, Pear." So just click below to download an essential live recording of one of the most evocative and linguistically deft storytellers in folk music today.
