Here is the info file from Dime:
This has appeared on thetradersden.org tracker before, however this is a much better sounding DAT recording, and a new rip. The seeder of the previous rip also had the Date and location wrong as well.
Wesley was a schizophrenic and is definitely on what he termed as a "torture demon hell ride" during this performance, as you will hear, however he ends up pleasing the crowd with a couple of old favorites.
Wesley will go down as one of the most unique songwriters and entertainers in history. There will never be another. He was a Rock Star. I love him like a milkshake.

"Rock over London Rock on Chicago
Folgers, Good to the Last Drop!"
here is a biography from some other website:
Outsider artist Wesley Willis began his career on the streets of Chicago - literally. My first encounter with the African American, six-foot-five, 300 pound, possibly schizophrenic artist was in 1991 where I met him in the back of a retail art supply store in Chicago. Actually, as it turns out, he was living there for a short time. Later I would see him with a large black portfolio walking the parking lot of a nearby grocery store begging storegoers to buy his artwork. Some of it was torn and stained, and it was clear that he needed money badly. Instead of simply begging for money, he would give away one of his drawings if you gave him some spare change (or dollars). Back then, savvy buyers could purchase a Wesley Willis drawing for about $40. After his rocketing career in Chicago's club circuit took off, he formed a band with guitarist Dale Meiners and became known as Wesley Willis and the Fiasco's (later changed to Fiasco) His artwork steadily began to draw attention, even commercial galleries began selling it for a large profit. Sadly, Wesley passed away in 2003. His funeral was standing room only. -- © Debra Hatchett
