Old school version of "Don't Talk" by Natalie Merchant at the Masonic Theater in San Fransisco on July 20, 2017.

One of the few singers that can give me goosebumps. Perfect.

[@juliedelorenzo2878]

Love her, her natural hair and her not caring about the men commenting about her not being a skinny 20 something anymore.

[@richardtknees]

She still sounds beautiful after all these years.

[@kabernat]

Grateful she got a good applause at the end. I have never seen her live either, praying hopefully one day I can as well 🙏🏿❤️

[@johndeangelo4465]

I thought Natalie could no longer sing the old 10KM songs with her voice going deeper. This proves she still has it and is unwavering. Wish she would visit more 10KM songs. Thanks for posting.

You are Welcome!

On her tour of small UK venues last summer, I saw 4 of her gigs and she played this song, along with 'Dustbowl', 'Verdi Cries', 'Hey Jack Kerouac', 'Gold Rush Brides' and 'What's The Matter Here' (all 6 in one wonderful night at Buxton). On a hot July evening at Hebden Bridge, in a tiny packed club, she sang an awesome version of the traditional song 'Matty Groves'.

[@garyconner6151]

She's beautiful ❤️.Lord I'm horny for her.

[@FourCorners257]

But Natalie's solo work is so profound and there is only limited time to play so many songs.

[@elaneazevedo2959]

She's very talented. And what voice!

[@portcullis5622]

Wonderful to hear her revisiting some of her great older songs; especially as she remembered the words, and didn't stop in mid-song to talk to the audience (as she often does these days)!

[@keithbate9405]

I find that "innovation" by Natalie irritating (stopping a song half way through to talk to the audience)

[@keithbate9405]

I saw 10,000 Maniacs numerous times live in England in the 1980's , and I loved to see Natalie's charming " skip dance" around the stage.

[@matthew71]

the very best of all experiences!

[@greatleapforwards]

I don't get it.... You have the privilege of being entertained by one of the most incredible artists of a generation and yet people sit and chatter through it. Is there no respect for the artist or other people around you anymore? I have been waiting over 25 years for the opportunity to be mesmerised by her on stage.. Count yourselves fortunate to have accessibility to live music like you do and treat every show like it's the last or the first

[@westcoastwally1992]

Couldn't agree with you more!

[@igorstein5616]

Yep I Get It

[@greatleapforwards]

you get why they talking...or you get what I am saying?

[@johndistaso6353]

Perfectly said.

[@johndistaso6353]

Yes, the talkers have no clue of the history they’re witnessing. Forgive them their ignorance.

[@Johnboy33545]

It's the 1st anv, of this show. As always Natalie sounds wonderful even with the crowd noise. Some people shouldn't be allowed out in public especially when someone else should be getting full attention.

[@westcoastwally1992]

It was a wonderful night and a wonderful summer swing of the West Coast!

[@outtathyme5679]

Gahhhh love her soooo much

[@mavatj]

Natalie is always special.

[@russellross9245]

"Old School"?????? I say "Classic"! Selfishly, I want more!

[@luislagrana7851]

hermosa mi Natalie . Sus temas llegan a mi corazón. Me haces soñar. vivir por momentos en paz. Te amoooooo

[@joemcardle7728]

What a great rendition of this song-remember when she did this on Letterman circa '87, was she referring to guitarist Rob Buck who died in 2000 of liver disease?

[@johndistaso6353]

Thanks for this. I saw her at Tanglewood & it was a great show but unfortunately she didn't sing this classic that night, so thanks!

[@johndistaso6353]

But she sang it last night in Bethlehem NH!

Alot more of Natalie to love, guess I haven't seen her in recent years

She's aged like fine wine.if could spend one night with her.

era un niño . crei morir sin el amor de mi novio . gracias a ti . hoy puedo escribirte mi amor . te amo Natalie

[@LuisJimenez-qg8yj]

Somebody should give ver the gift of having 10KM on stage for a song or two.

[@FourCorners257]

Bummer the sound is out of sync with the video, but great none the less.

[@thaddeuses2279]

I can see why she wanted to leave the Maniacs. There’s no way she would that have total control of the band because she’s playing with a much better musicians. She’s still good though, but her best work was obviously with the Maniacs

[@user-dn4rx8ev3j]

Gasp!

[@mikegarippo7815]

Fire that guitarist! He can't get it together, and it's to the detriment of the performance.

[@rtp4u2]

i lost interest in her when she parted from 10,000 maniacs, that was a great band

[@nickyshamrock3279]

And your point is?

[@portcullis5622]

She is in her mid fifties, so what is your point? As long as she stays fit and well, with a voice like that, who cares about appearances?

[@txguy714]

She sounds good but she’s washed up, a has been.

[@westcoastwally1992]

Is it because your Mom did something bad to you? Did Daddy not love you? Kick Rocks D*ckweed.

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Jesse Kennedy Honestly, that's a really idiotic comment.

[@portcullis5622]

She is an intelligent, genuine artist with a truly great voice. One of the finest ever singer-songwriters. She has always defended the environment, stood up for the underdog and refused to sell out to the showbiz cretins. I wonder what legacy you will leave behind?

[@johndistaso6353]

You poor soul.
