Notes

The second show of two, this night was as magical as the first one if not more so. At the end of the night, former Current 93 collaborator and NYC resident Annie Anxiety (aka Little Annie) was invited up on stage by Tibet for hellos, hugs, and introduction to the audience (who greeted her with a warm round of applause). Current 93 were joined on the very last song by members of Loretta's Doll for a raucous version of "Christ and the Pale Queens Mighty in Sorrow".

In 1999, a double CD called All Dolled Up Like Christ was released documenting both nights

The following was the official release information for the October/November 1996 Current 93 performances in New York. Tiny Tim was unable to attend due to suffering a heart attack. He passed away on December 1, 1996.
