Thank you so much for posting this! I've been looking for the companion piece to the main show for quite some time. I'm glad I finally found it. Don't know why I haven't run into it before? But I knew very little about them at the time except where they were from and that they were a bit of an underground darling, I thought they were a perfect opening act for the dead. Slightly contrasting style, of course everybody had a contrasting style to the most unique live band in history...... The sound is fantastic for an opening act, her voice is so unique and rich, it just invites you along for the ride. I knew nothing about them and I thought they were excellent whereas that same year I went to Syracuse to see the rolling Stones reunion tour steel wheels, and living color opened up and at that point Vernon Reed was the hottest guitarist in the country and they were literally the worst opening act I've ever seen. And I think a lot of it was because the stones don't let you f*** with the soundboard even the tiniest bit but still man they were just terrible whereas these guys who I barely knew were a joy.

Thank you for this post What an absolute treasure this concert footage is. Incredibly well shot and crystal clear. I had forgotten how amazing the 10,000 Manics were back in the late 80s and early 90s. The song selections here are among their best; sweet sad stories of powerful importance. Merchants vocals are powerful and clear and her stagecraft superb. Her dervish dancing mixed with quiet moments sitting on the lip of the stage are a perfect combination. I saw many of those Manic performances when they played in the northeast, each and every one a fantastic event. Those first four Maniac records are classic. Merchants’ solo efforts pale compared to her artistry displayed her and her work with the group. How I wish they had stayed together longer. I think it was Robert Buck’s dazzling guitar playing that really wove the musical alchemy that made these songs pure spun gold. Wow, how I miss them.

I think this is the best concert on u tube ❤

Wow, a most beautiful gem 😊❤️🌹Thank you for this beauty .

Aside from her unbelievable talent she is unbelievably Beautiful And to this day

Hate it artists get political... Shut up and play. Didn't pay money to hear you on your soapbox

Who's still listening in 2024?

There's something about her voice, her demeanor and the way she carries herself! Love you Nataliell

Listening to this so gifted band unique in every way sense of the art form that is her's and the band innocence mission is but once every hundred years from Bach to Schubert to Mozart Mendelson Beethoven and so on forever a fan always since the beginning.

this is possibly the first and only recording of OTIE songs before they were finalized and given lyrics-wow!

Sounds so much like Parisian dance hall/caberet

Music from heaven

Rob. Buck!

30 years ago. Amazing

This is the best I've seen. Top song delivered. Wow

I love the way Mariana dances as she sings and plays keyboard.

I can’t get over the audible chatter of the audience. Not surprising for NYC.

They’re a real inspiration

Her voice is so beautiful! I wish I could have seen them, live in concert back then.

I love you Mary❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

AS a folk supporter , I am quite aware of this song .I really like this version! Brilliant!

Unassuming guitar god

Great video 🎉 is this channel from 10,000 Maniac's videographer or a their official archive history ? Thanks

Deceptively ferocious band

Andy Kershaw BBC DJ used to play their stuff in the 80's, I'll credit him for that

What a great band

at 8:22 the guy sitting on stage with her tries to kiss her. pretty hilarious

OMG, WDRE! I loved that station. XPN too.

It's unbelievable to think I've been listening to their first record for more than 30 years. I was too young to see them live in 1993 and had no idea they did a reunion show in 2019. I'm so sad I missed that! I saw a short-ish clip of that show in a Lancaster news outlet and I was blown away by how tight they were and how great they sounded. I hope I get a chance to see them play together someday

thanks!

super encore riff with National Edumacation Week!

This is three years after I first saw then

Increíble grupo, maravillosas canciones, ojalá sigan tocando.

So so so so so good

A melhor música não está aqui no vídeo

This video is as good to watch as it is to listen to. It is a pure gem. Takes you back…nothing short of a dream.

Love this band.

Wow, this is great. 1995 was a great year for music.

🎈🎼💙💛

Well if I was born in 72' instead of 82' I would taken 2 or 3 yrs and followed them like people followed Grateful Dead and Dave Matthews Band. Her voice is just that amazing

The renditions of Scorpio rising and gunshy at the end of this show are so pristine and powerful, the band is really achieving brilliance at the end of an actualized, locked-in set. Jerry so solid, I’ve enjoyed this footage for the cameraman’s sense of his focus and drive on the material. Buck always so controlled onstage, makes me smile.

First saw them 3 years before this

What is the first track ? Sounds like The Cure

27:10 what is she talking about?

I Miss Natalie

They were so so good - Robs playing and writing and Stunning Natalie...

Innocence Mission is amazing!!! Very good!!! May God Bless y'all Richly and Jesus Peace!!! Happy New Year y'all!!! ❤😂🎉😮

That’s the best guitar tone ever conceived! 🙌Don👏🙌

What a band. In My Tribe, one of the great albums. Natalie moves so naturally. Sadly the Painted Desert not on the setlist.
