Never got to see them live but I saw Natalie on the H.O.R.D.E tour in 1996 and she was every bit as amazing. Did all the 10.000 Maniacs classics, plus all the best stuff from her solo album Tigerlily (Carnival, Wonder, etc.) and an absolutely spellbinding cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity". The show also featured blistering sets from Blues Traveler and Lenny Kravitz, but Natalie was my personal highlight of the day
I remember watching this that night and I remember the feelings of hope and happiness and relief, and how Natalie seemed to personify all those things in her singing.
Robert DeNiros in the house, the President’s in the house, Jack Nicholson’s in the House. Lol I love how the leader of the free world is announced after the star of The Fan.
does being over 22 and listening to this song, and Eden, and others, which are absolutely meant , only meant, for youth, make one a voyeur? The lyrics, "laughter until you are bursting" "know their meaning, "a shaft of light..."
They should never have carried on as 10K Maniacs without Natalie. A huge mistake, and I love John Lombardo and Mary. It couldn't possibly be 10K Maniacs without Natalie. I was going to do a book on the band in the mid 90s, but then my own publisher folded, alas, and no commercial publisher was remotely interested. Omnibus Press told me they had zero commercial potential as a band or for a book. I tried to get some lyric reprint permissions and their management turned me down. A total DICK move. These days I cannot stand them. I can only listen to the very early Maniacs and the first album. After that.....yuk.
This is so great! There’s an impostor band now touring as them and although the drummer is original, he’s playing like he’s fucking dead. Awkward and embarrassing. But THIS! ....THIS is fantastic!
Thought I only dreamt this. Hard to believe there was a time music like this held such a spotlight.
I love watching Natalie dance ....it just brings a huge smile to my face ! She's just great !!!
she was the GOAT of the late 80's and early 90's. What an amazing talent!
shes beautiful.
One of the most unique voices ever and I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert.

I saw her in 1998. Natalie is just simply amazing. Even more beautiful in person .
It's fun just to watch Natalie Merchant dance to the songs.
Not just fun but also incredibly attractive.

I'm pretty sure I could watch this every day! : ) What a voice, what a talent!
This performance was among the highlights of their career.
It was. This was the peak for the Maniacs. It also demonstrated Merchant having found her voice and matured as a songwriter.
Always so in love with her. What a voice of an angel.
And the face of a goddess...god she's beautiful
Eden was the album where merchant had really matured as a songwriter this was Maniacs (and arguably Merchant also) at their peak.
just listen to a recent performance and her voice is still every bit as good as it was 26 years ago. Truth.
@Exceller8 If I'm not mistaken this is Natalie Merchant
Tremendous presentation of 10,000 and Natalie. These are the days........... the verse goes....... that you'll remember. What a time!
Natalie Merchant.....Truly a gift for all our ears.....yeah.....
You got that right. Dancing though, she reminds me of Elaine from Seinfeld
and eyes.
She's just class and greatness!
I saw her once at the airport in Dusseldorf. She is friendly and beautiful.
these are day's, y'all remember...
never before and never since...
rushing over you with desire
*Love to see her dancing.*
thanks for uploading this...it was a special time. ah, this makes me happy
Natalie was a total babe.
who misses Natalie Mechant's voice sounding like this?
Adiku Jpop You mean who misses N Merchant looking like this
She stll sounds the same..She was on 'Jimmy Fallon last night..Check it out..
ruben1million What a crappy thing to say.
But you are human.
Humans expect people to never age and stay and look 30 forever.
Adiku Jpop She sounds the same, just a little older.
@@ruben1million i have to agree with that too ;)
90s hair styles were so cute.
Gentlemen wearing suit and tie. Very classy. Very dignified.
I too remember when this aired. All the girls I knew wanted to BE her in that dress, including me. Such a great time.
*Please welcome Chelsea’s (Clinton) favorite band* still very glad they made it to the presidential inaugural ball. Awesome band.
I recorded that and Candy everybody wants on VHS. That night.
How is this event 30 years ago already??😮
Music is so calming. Brings me peace. Thank guys. I needed it.
Deservedly so what a great group
I never knew Agent Carter was a rock singer too. What a woman.
this tune is like the opposite of 'like the weather' .. two halves of manic depression
Holy shit!!! These days are long gone! 2019 sucks!!!
and little did ye know 6 months ago, just how much worse it could get.

She looks like a woman out of a Medieval Painting. Just enchanting.

QUÉ MUJER TAN HERMOSA ERA NATALIEEE !!... UNA DIOSAAA !!
Classy Maniacs...all 10,000 of them.
Wow!
Enchanting. Hopeful.
Angel 😇

Duff was a nice surprise there at the end. Didn't realize Sigourney Weaver was so tall.
FANTASTIC NATALIE !!!
It would be a highlight for anyone to,preform at the Inauguration ceremony
used to see them in Buffalo quite often....Nietzsche's on Allen Street
She is a goddess!
FEMALE GRUNDGE = I LOVE IT !!!
Natalie Mercante ! I like the given Italian name.
These are the days drink that with a good Corona drink
Sings good,,band too.
Robert DeNiros in the house, the President’s in the house, Jack Nicholson’s in the House. Lol I love how the leader of the free world is announced after the star of The Fan.
Please don't take this of. This is the cure for depression.
I wonder why the comment sections to all the official music vedios to her songs are turned off
Does anyone who reads this know why 🤷 just wondering
Never knew Elaine Benes sang this song....
Sorry that she’s not twerking her ass enough for you..
a very pretty lady.
does being over 22 and listening to this song, and Eden, and others, which are absolutely meant , only meant, for youth, make one a voyeur? The lyrics, "laughter until you are bursting" "know their meaning, "a shaft of light..."
tiger - LILLY -- Chelsi's fave
Vedder's Stepsister...
Who's the girl singing harmony ?
Natalie.... Be mine?!? 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪... Michael
I pity Mary RAmsy. A good singer in her own right, she disappears next to Natalie.
Ahhhhhh. Different. Natalie is a national treasure
NOPE
I think Mary is quite amazing.

wonder if Slick Willy chased her around later that night?
Beautiful, sexy and talented. Her voice makes me remember Carly Simon`s.
She's really short isn't she???
Like 5’1
This is so great! There’s an impostor band now touring as them and although the drummer is original, he’s playing like he’s fucking dead. Awkward and embarrassing. But THIS! ....THIS is fantastic!
Keys, bass and drums are all as original as it gets.
owen yeah you’re technically right but he’s been there long enough to have paid his dues.
"Natalie Merchant was good & hot" well duh
Sexiest woman alive at that time
Even thought Natalie Merchant was a raging Democrat I still love the 10k Maniacs
Do politics really matter when it comes to music ✌️💓🎼
the sound is so bad
It’s VHS dude
Sad to see Dennis Miller introducing the band here, before he became a sellout right wing grifter
