    1993 was a really great world to be in and it's difficult to watch this and not feel a great deal of loss. Beautiful Natalie is now 60, as am I. I have an April 2024 concert ticket to see her. I'm really looking forward, which is what I need to do in general.🎉

  • @TheRealThomasPaine1776

    She was so amazing to watch back in those days! So I'll share a couple of memories, I first saw her at the channel in Boston with the maniacs and she was spinning on the stage like a whirling dervish the whole time! That was when she was younger and her hair was still long and it was flying all over the place!!
    But I want to see a very special concert, and it would have been in the early summer of 92 or more likly 93, in a very small club in Bearsville New York, and the 10,000 Maniacs were busy rehearsing on their new album not too far away in the church. So this was a pop-up concert done just so they could rehearse some of the new material, and it was for a small audience.
    I could go on and on about how enchanting she was to actually see in person only 10 ft for me, so intimate. In between the songs (some of which were not yet recorded) she was talking about her garden, and what kinds of lettuce she had planted!
    But what I really wanted to share was that as I was sitting in my seat my wife pointed out to me a couple a few sests over and said, "hey, isnt that guy in REM?"
    Sure enough, it was Mike Mills, and then during a break i ended up chatting with Peter Buck about politics over a beer in the lobby. It seems REM was with them in their studio nearby adding some things to the new record.
    Never saw Michael, he was most likly keeping a lower profile or backstage.
    But such a special day.
    Love her so much and she is pretty much ALWAYS like that!!!
    Yes, "those were the days"

    I thought they sounded great together on Campfire Song on In My Tribe. I remember watching this on tv that night and being blown away, seeing and hearing them together.
