Both “Born to Fight” and “Freedom Now” (https://youtu.be/80J1dEquxYE?si=h3qSbYx9zCPOMFin) are also from 1989’s “Crossroads”. “Freedom Now” is dedicated to Nelson Mandela, who Tracy Chapman not only supported his work but the two finally met in 1990 at the Free South Africa concert.

Ich sehr sie noch vor mir, als sie damals, bei #bandaid mit #gitarre ganz alleine auf die Bühne kam und los trallerte.
Sehr bewegender Moment, auch für mich als Zuschauer durchs Fernsehen
Und wenn man dann auch noch den Hintergrund des Auftritts kennt, dann hat sie meinen allerhöchsten #respekt -
#RetroView favorite Tracy Chapman with “Changes” (https://youtu.be/vL9t7jrU9BI?si=0281LQGYjQUtLurS) from her 2005 album “Where You Live” (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mm6MUqixiFog-7YwzbvVKYlVIUNrSL2BE&si=zqH3NwWk_O0UDIo-) She’s mostly retired these days but if anyone’s earned a bit of peace it’s Tracy (sorry about the video quality)

Living Colour, Cult of Personality (Official Live Bootleg), 1988 on Epic
Living Colour in their prime, recorded live at T.T. The Bear’s in Cambridge (right outside central square), and including a cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Talkin’ Bout A Revolution.” I’m not sure what an “Official Live Bootleg” is – this was put out by Epic apparently – but this is a promo edition with five tracks where many of the singles of “Cult of Personality” only have three.
My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is a demonstration only copy pressed at Carrollton with a generic sleeve and a hype sticker with catalog number EAS-1265-S2 (there’s a version with a different hype sticker but the same tracks and runout etchings).

Wee practice the other weekend and the first part of 'Baby Can I Hold You' by the one and only Tracy Chapman. Have played it forever and never get tired of it! My voice is getting almost back to normal - or it was, before I got this horrid cold! 🦠
