| Here's Big Dipper live on WBCN in 1988 followed an unusual acoustic set on Cambridge's WMBR in 1992. |
This is a live recording made from a radio broadcast. We were invited to play a lunchtime concert on WBCN, the local commercial FM station on St. Patrick's Day of 1988. It was a pretty big deal for us, a little-known local band, to get the gig and I'm sure we were all a little nervous about going out live to a big audience. It was also pretty strange to be playing a show that started at noon.
The setlist is pretty standard for that time, altho we snuck in a Fleetwood Mac cover that we had been playing on our recently-completed US tour and two new songs that would appear on Craps, later in the year. A couple of weeks after this show we were off to Europe for the first time and, when we returned, we checked into Fort Apache North to record Craps.
This was a very fun time for the band, we were getting good shows, touring a lot, and playing well together.

Big Dipper live on WMBR in 1992
This has to be the strangest Dipper set overall. Semi-acoustic, with Bill on 12-String acoustic guitar, only one previously released Dipper song, and two-and-a-half songs that were never Dipper releases.
