Natalie Merchant brings me out of my depression and I have been suffering since I was 12 now I am 52 and still can't get enough of her music,oh by the way the woman behind the drums on this song ROCKS......
The whole band is really good, including the drummer. I love her drumming at 23:40 and 24:40 on Jack Kerouac. There is also Judy Hyman on fiddle and Richie Stearns on banjo, from the Ithaca, NY band The Horse Flies. Judy's fiddle at 29:00 in the song Owensboro is really pretty.
When depressed look around, there will always be reasons for small joys, this is just what i do when all my doors are closed. I found there are more reasons to be happy than sad.
Can't believe how one human can be so dam talented, so special, can't stop watching n listening to NM, great voice, thank you Natalie Merchant, feeling better now.
Definatly a great Voice . But Its the American Teenage Sensation that the Daddy buys the Music and someone to sing for the Son or Daughter that has never considered writing a song. that gets the Fame. a perfect example is Taylor Swift that recently declined to postpone a concert and made the ticket holders stand in the rain if they wanted to watch her lipsink someones music.
One thing that I love about Natalie as a I watch a bunch of her live videos is how absolutely comfortable she seems performing in front of people. Like, not one ounce of nervousness. It's like she knows her voice is great and her ability is there, so no need whatsoever to be anything less than at home on stage.
Was sung at my wedding by a beautiful woman that did a great job! Gift to all who all attended on our special day. Marriage did not last unfortunately but this song I still love endlessly. ❤️
Yeti8it Yes indeed! Her voice is such a low and deep and sexy voice. Totally unique and all her own. She is very sensual without even trying. A beautiful free spirit❤️
Last night my dear friend of 30 years gave me back my Natalie Merchant Tigerlilly CD. I must of lent it to him around 1996. Today I listened and cried through the whole CD. It took me back to a time in my life that was just wonderful. Thank you Natalie for your beautiful and soulful voice.
listening to Natalie is a spiritual experience ... just so uplifting. I saw her at the Chicago Theatre in the mid-80s and saw an unpretentious singer/songwriter who just wanted to perform excellent music.
Natalie is incredible. I have been fortunate in that I have seen her perform since the 10,000 Maniac in the LA area at the Wiltern Theater, LA Greek Theater, Universal Amphitheater, Cerritos Center for the Performance Arts, The Orpheum, The Yost Theater, The Ford Theater, Royce Hall at UCLA. This was fun remembering. Oh, two more Santa Barbara Theater for the folk song tour and a small place in Little Tokyo in Downtown for the Leave Your Sleep Tour. She was so eloquent, funny, and entertaining as she described the children's poems which were the lyrics for that album. I met her one time, and she drew and signed on the setlist I got from one of the three in a row Cerritos shows I went to. I want to see her 20 more times !
Natalie is simply a free spirit!!! A caring, loving, compassionate, giving and a very wonderful person!!! My friend Jose and his daughter dakotah went on a field trip to Natalie's home in dutchess county I would say in the nineties!!! We all love natalie here in ulster county, and dutchess county!!! God bless you, and thank you natalie for all you do, and what you have done and given us over the years!!! Peace!!!
I've enjoyed seeing Natalie Merchant perform in concert several times and always enjoyed it. For a tiny woman, her voice is substantial. She has an incredible vocal range, and she can really belt out the long, loud sustained notes. It's incredible. The musicians I've seen her tour with have all been terrific, too.
Natalie will always be one of my all-time favorite artists. There is just something oh so special about her. Like she was truly touched by God. So glad I got to see her at Lilith fair many years ago.
I love this song and artist! What a Gift from GOD above. I feel BLESSED that Natalie wrote and sang these songs during my life on Earth. I was born in 1963, in NJ - God's Country!
Ken, God’s country?... okay, I will agree with you but only because I come from 1963 and also feel blessed for this beautiful earthly angel. For yesterdays and today. Thanks for the video also! Ken... take care!!👍😉
Beautiful!:) I try to start every day with a simple statement of what I'm thankful for at the moment. Kind and Generous is an anthem for self improvement! Thank YOU Natalie!!! :D
Thank you Natalie just watching you perform and hearing your beautiful voice always brings me the greatest pleasure may God bless you as you have blessed so many others. Love you
She has a natural vibrato in her voice that's so captivating and it keeps you spell bound till the very end. And for almost thirty years now, what a talent !!
I don’t think she ever got the credit she deserves….but I think she is satisfied.. I think she would put her heart and soul if she sang for 2 to 10,000 . She loves giving it her all
Every once in a while a singer comes along who is not a manufactured star but a true honest talent. Natalie has a very distinct wonderful voice who is able to make you believe every word she is singing. I’m probably old enough to be her dad but I’ve loved her since day one. How can anyone not love Natalie Merchant?
Simply the best version of San Andreas fault Quality absolute Quality' i love how she radiates the joy of performing' such class and to say that I only come across her talent in the last 5 or 10 years' where was my head in years gone by.
There's just something about Natalie. Of course she's pretty and sexy, but there's something else, another quality that's more than the first two put together. I don't know what it is but she has got it.
I love that she is barefoot. This is not really my usual genre but she is just such a pure musical force!!! Always love hearing her music, and have since childhood in the 90s.
OH WOW!! I have been looking for this over the past year or so!! They took it down a while back and I watched it all of the time just to chill out and relaxilate a bit! I want to thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for being so kind and generous!!
I lived in Trana for 26 years...had a chance to chat with this beautiful lady a couple of times after gigs...always a pleasure , as you might imagine...lol
For me this must be in the top 20 of all videos in YT. It's only 20 years ago but seems like such a different world, people smiling, dancing to real music without taking selfies, such innocence compared to today. What has happened to America, how did it all go so horribly wrong?
Natalie Merchant brings me out of my depression and I have been suffering since I was 12 now I am 52 and still can't get enough of her music,oh by the way the woman behind the drums on this song ROCKS......

Me too with the depression. Love to ya. Love Natalie!
Very true drummer rocks an she is a good soul
She’s made me happy 30+ years. And that’s the great Allison Miller rocking drums.
When depressed look around, there will always be reasons for small joys, this is just what i do when all my doors are closed. I found there are more reasons to be happy than sad.

Always been mesmerized by her beauty, her voice and her amazing moves! She is the soul of music personified!
Her beauty? She's an ordinary-looking woman.
@@mikegarippo7815 so was your mother..like how that feels?
@@packman5906 What?
Voice plus dancing to her music.
Ordinary should be changed to real, and absolutely

Anyone else here during quarantine? 3/2021. Thank you Natalie Merchant for your gift to this world.
Natalie Merchant was the voice of classy inspirational music of the 90's
If there EVER was a woman that were as sexy and sensual and classy as she was talented it would be Natalie Merchant
Indubitably....!! 💜 💜
...then her name would be Natalie Merchant.

Yeti8it Yes indeed! Her voice is such a low and deep and sexy voice. Totally unique and all her own. She is very sensual without even trying. A beautiful free spirit❤️

She’s a Damn good entertainer and the entire band is awesome !!! The music is REAL and Pure !!
What an amazing artist. Her soul delights in the music and expresses in dance.
Her dance is awesome too!!
Her grace , internal beauty, voice, have moved their fingers though my life. Thank you mam.
I could watch her dance for hours , a great all round performer.
What a wonderful natural performer, this is something very special.
Such a soothing voice. Many great memories while listening to her music.
Every song, every move, every look Natalie makes her own and I find it as mesmerizing today as I did at the beginning of her days with the Maniacs.
Natalie is a natural beauty and so natural at what she does Truly God gifted indeed
She kicks a beach ball like she does everything else. With energy and perfection. Her band is perfect.
A bright and very nice woman, she started talking to me at San Diego airport in 1994, always smiling.
As genuine as they come. True talent in every respect.

My battered old spirit always leaps a little when I watch this. It's too lovely for words.
BobbyChariot Amen, it makes me feel young again.
One of the rare singers who sound great live as on their albums.

She has an incredible vocal range, and she can really belt out the long, loud sustained notes. It's incredible. The musicians I've seen her tour with have all been terrific, too.
She kept the 60’s and 70’s alive way past anyone else, so beautiful
Natalie will always be one of my all-time favorite artists. There is just something oh so special about her. Like she was truly touched by God. So glad I got to see her at Lilith fair many years ago.
The Mercuritor of God , that's who puts the three rings on God's he'd before rest . MER( CURY)CHANT . ITS A maiden of Mercury .
Natalie tell you kind and generous , I am bound. Maiden of Mercury , Hallelujah.
She's thanking God for making her an oykatarian , a resting place for her spirits from her tribe . It's not a big deal , it's huge .
WTF have I been? Up in the hills for the past 26 years. This is some beautiful music and talent.
Takes me back when times were better.
And it wasn’t that long ago. Now our countries are a shadow of what they once were.
Todas sus canciones están asociado con poemas de corazón...es maravillosa su voz y canto. Saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪👍
One of the most awesome singers of my life time. Great performance.Thanks for all your hard work.

Look at Natalie dance! That voice, music and sound. It's a mood.
This woman was the last of the Hippies...:) Brilliant and beautiful lyrics...
Extraordinary talent indeed !!!
There's just something about Natalie. Of course she's pretty and sexy, but there's something else, another quality that's more than the first two put together. I don't know what it is but she has got it.
I think it is love and joy.
And dignity.
Womanhood ✌🏼

She’s so happy; what a treasure.
I had been looking for this concert for so long time!! Thanks..
Natalie merchant's music puts me in a very joyful mood. I never seen this footage before. Thank you for putting this on youtube
Bonus!!! Everything after what I thought would be the end. What a VENUE!!!! BEAUTIFUL in every way ♥
She makes me happy when she dances
Dances? She's almost as bad as Elaine Benes when she 'dances'.
@@HawklordLI I immediately think of Elaine...lol...
I love the way she moves.
The song that starts at 15:42 fantastic song, band and singer, outdoor concert performance. That was just awesome.
it’s called San Andreas Fault!! it’s my favourite of her songs
@@aminabirdi2269 oh, thank you!
Natalie Merchant is magic!! ✨️🌟👏👏
YAY! I've been looking for this. As Ms Merchant sings, "I want to Thank you!", lol.
I love that she is barefoot. This is not really my usual genre but she is just such a pure musical force!!! Always love hearing her music, and have since childhood in the 90s.
OH WOW!! I have been looking for this over the past year or so!! They took it down a while back and I watched it all of the time just to chill out and relaxilate a bit! I want to thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for being so kind and generous!!
Great song to relaxilate and even exermacise to for sure.
I love this woman so much... This performance just made me 😢 but not in a sad way
I lived in Trana for 26 years...had a chance to chat with this beautiful lady a couple of times after gigs...always a pleasure , as you might imagine...lol
When I think back on how innocent we all were then I just lose my shit. It's hard to watch. Anyone?
Who would we be if they hadn't been woven into our lives? # Grateful
Just wistful for days of fun and carefree....
What a gem....
“Ok, Natalie’s doing her amazing Natalie Merchant dance so let’s cut to the guitar player” arrrgh!
I know. I noticed that. I could watch this woman move all day.
Hair over her shoulder.... no makeup. Hips a swivelin. Sweet...
She's a hippie sevant . And beautiful in every way. Thank you Ma'am!
Always her fun since my Buffalo days. Beautiful and great voice! But don't think she is a good dancer...
Couldn’t agree with you more. Priorities please, lol.
Purely talented
Still the greatest female voice ever.
For me this must be in the top 20 of all videos in YT. It's only 20 years ago but seems like such a different world, people smiling, dancing to real music without taking selfies, such innocence compared to today. What has happened to America, how did it all go so horribly wrong?
