    I did a cross country drive in 2012, and drove more than 12 hours straight from from Utah through Colorado listening only 10,000 Maniac albums over and over... a lot of those songs made me tear countless number of times. Natalie Merchant is a legend and always will be.

    Don't Talk is the real prize here as it contains both Natalie's hypnotic, signature dance moves & Robert buck's epic, shimmering guitar work....Impressably 10,000 Maniacs rocks.

      Agree 1000%. I heard her respond to a guy in the audience that yell at her in between songs --- "Natalie...I love you" and she responds, by saying ---- "That's because you don't KNOW me." Classic Natalie. The band was amazing. RIP Rob Buck....guy could make his guitar hum and roar.

    Used to spend summers in Bemus Point and Jamestown, New York. They would play at "The Casino" and "The Grog Shop" Little did we know. My cousin was friends with Steve Gustafson's wife. Just based on that, they used to comp us tickets and Backstage Passes when they came to Chicago. They are the nicest group of people you could ever meet. Godspeed Rob Buck.

    I remember this album. I think up until that point the band was nearly obscure, playing at universities across the US. I remember meeting the band in Bellingham, Washington during the spring of 1986. I had a college radio show at the time and I played songs from The Wishing Chair on regular rotation.

    A moment in time, and one of the very best TV clips I have found. The drummer Jerry Augustyniak had a profound snap, with Natalie Merchant singing and moving at her youthful peak, as the band performs two songs from their finest album. Jay Leno’s facial expressions book-ending this performance are also classic. Such a unique-sounding group.

      I saw them perform at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ in 1988. They were outstanding in concert. However, Ms. Merchant became annoyed with all of the incessantly shouting teen-aged girls in the audience, and finally walked off the stage in disgust, saying, “This place is a zoo.”

      @@kensellers4082 I had a similar experience. She came out to do the encore and some guys yelled "Freebird!" several times. She said, "That's rude" and walked off stage. I had been hoping to get autographs from the band, but quickly figured out that was the end. I gave a roadie several small pieces of paper and a pen and asked if he could get the autographs for me. A few minutes later he came back with the autographs......all from Natalie. So instead of having each band member's autograph, I have like 5-6 of Natalie's. Coincidentally, I met Robert Downey, Jr. after the concert. He was in Savannah filming a movie. I talked to him a little and got a picture of him. Not sure why I didn't also get his autograph.

      @@kensellers4082 There have been a few concerts I went to that I kind of wanted to yell out a song I wanted to hear, but two thoughts kept me from doing it. First, they can't play everything that fans want to hear. Some fans want to hear every hit song, no matter how minor. Some fans want to hear rarely played songs. Second, I respect, to a point, the performers have reasons for what they play.
      I do agree with the thought that performers should play what got them to the fame they have. But I do understand that they might sometimes get so tired of playing those songs concert after concert for years and years.

    Don't talk, I will listen
    Don't talk, you keep your distance
    For I'd rather hear some truth tonight than entertain your lies
    So take you poison silently
    Let me be, let me close my eyes
    Don't talk, I'll believe it
    Don't talk, listen to me instead
    I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard
    The drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble you're in now
    Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you care
    But when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air
    Tossing back more than your share
    Don't talk, I can guess it
    Don't talk, well now you're restless
    And you need somewhere to put the blame for how you feel inside
    You'll look for a close and easy mark and you'll see me as fair game
    Talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you care
    But when your talk is over you tilt that bottle in the air
    Tossing back more than your share
    You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you care
    I'm marking every word and can tell this time for sure
    Your talk is the finest I have heard
    So don't talk, I was sleeping
    Don't talk, let me go on dreaming
    How your eyes they glow so fiercely I can tell you're inspired
    By the name you just chose for me, now what was it? Oh, never mind it
    We will talk talk talk about this when your head is clear
    I'll discuss this in the morning, but until then you may talk but I won't he
