    Natalie Merchant possesses one of those rare, pure, angelic voices that mesmerizes and captivates listeners. Nobody else sounds like her. Not even close. That voice is one in a billion.

      It's May 8th 2021 and I just listened to one of Natalie's CD. I don't have Tigerlily, which did not do it for me, but the rest is precious enough to me that I listen to it periodically. I might give another shot at Tigerlily, since I sometimes dislike/disinterest something because I'm simply going through a rough patch. When I hear her song from the 10 000 Maniacs group about coming into light, I say to myself that just like Peter Gabriel she needed to be on her own ; Peter's "version" is "Solsbury Hill".

      In November 1989 I saw them supported by the Indigo Girls who were superb. "Kid fears " my favourite track by them now and then .
      10,000 Maniacs were brilliant with Natalie playing the final encore solo on the piano = "Verdi cries"

      I saw them Fall 87 opening for REM. I was walking around the venue looking for the entrance and passed by Natalie as she walked from the tour buses to the backstage entrance. I immediately recognized her because I stared at her face on a poster every day for weeks while waiting for my dorm elevator. I didn't tell my friend who she was until after we passed.

    • @keithbate9405
      @keithbate9405 Год назад +2

      @@mrupright I also saw them in 1987 in London on that tour . That evening I preferred 10,000 Maniacs to REM. They were touring "in my tribe" , which is my favourite album by them.
      Many years later on a solo tour I also walked pasted Natalie as she got out of a car about to enter Wolverhampton Civic Hall.
      She was still doing her stage dancing in those days . I miss that !
      ps she has a new album out April (2023) and is touring the UK and the US again with it !

    I remember watching this in 92/93 when I was living in Lake Havasu City,Az. I was there for six months working for a company that went belly up because none of us really knew what we were doing. Despite that, that six months was a lot of fun for me because I’d never been out west before and was blown away by the scenery, the people and all the adventures I had during that period of my life. The job evaporated and I had to move back to the Midwest but, to paraphrase this song “Those were the days”.

    After living 11+ years in the US over my lifetime, I can honestly say that 10,000 Maniacs were at that time one of the most incredible bands I'd seen. Heard These Are Days being played in a Barnes & Noble one Saturday morning as I was thumbing a magazine & never ooked back.
    If you've never seen their MTV Unplugged video, then don't waste another second. "Sublime" is the word. IMHO, the best single Unplugged I ever saw, which is up against some stiff competition I know. The album is never out of my car either. Best feelgood album I ever heard. All amazing players & with Natalie's voice on top, well that's just gravy - Totally captivating xx

    Interesting. Rob is playing the song on half-step down open E tuning. Always thought this was played on half-step down standard tuning. I guess it was done that way to be able to get open notes like high E and B behind the chords' changes throughout the song. Thanks for uploading this gem. I really like to study some of my guitar heroes playing styles and this video provides some cool stuff by the great Rob Buck.
