Fans will also receive brand new merch, fan packs and bundles for the project at www.amygrant.com.
Grant says: “When I first heard the recordings from the 1989 Lead Me On tour, I was blown away by what a talented band I had on tour. I have loved every band constellation I have ever had on tour and they are all very special to me, but there was something unique about this group of players and singers during the Lead Me On Tour. Firstly, there were so many of us on stage and so many types of instruments like harmonica solo, flute solo, saxophone, mandolins, lots of keyboards and lots of vocals that it felt like a big family reunion every night. The size and scope of the production as well as the great experience we wanted to create also made this tour very special. The audience’s energy felt like an infinite number 8, with the energy emanating from us on stage, circling through the audience and then coming back to us, bringing back so many great memories. I’m so grateful we captured this moment.”
Grant went on tour on September 20th, performing her legendary hits along with selections from the 1989 Lead Me On Live project.
