    Natalie’s voice is the voice of angels. She has an instrument that no mortals have. A literal gift from God.

    I get goosebumps when I hear Michael singing the opening lines and then Peter’s voice roars through but it’s not until Natalie sings her solo piece that I know I’ve witnessed one of the best performances of all time. 3 amazing talents...... I feel so lucky to have lived in the era of Michael Stipe, Natalie Merchant and Peter Gabriel.

    Way back.......1979 or '80......I was in NYC in a club called Danceteria. There was a great band playing with this amazing, charismatic singer. Maybe 30 of us standing by the stage watching. Years later I realized it was 10,000 Maniacs. And that singer was Natalie!
