Her political opinions are atrocious… her early 90s haircut is unpleasant.. her decision to wear a black dress in front of a black background is downright unprofessional… her face is annoyingly smug and bovine…her yeast infection is off putting for the musicians…..her fat arms remind the audience of her disappointing, prematurely drooping , clumsy breasts …her earrings are funny in a hotel lobby gift shop way, I guess someone that’s into early 90s earrings loves them..

Who's still listening and or watching in 2021? I am this concert is amazing!

The late Robert Buck R.I.P. was awesome on guitar as well. I really hope a lot of people get to see this on KZread that never really seen her and realize what they missed.

oh my god, I LOVE HER VOICE!

She is just so awesome. I would be so happy to meet her and give her a big hug one day!

Saw this tour as well in Austin. Little did we know back then we were witnessing the last of an era, when a handful of small town alternative bands somehow broke through to national audiences, all without the internet. "Those Were Days" indeed.

My God she was beautiful, shedding tears when singing about her perceived mistakes, such an exquisite woman. Her music gave me faith in beauty and hope for the future when I lost my wife and daughter. She is an angel, inside and out.

I have to wonder if her body of work here is superior to her solo-striking out. Guess you have to respect her decision to leave. Still love her raw, very-real authenticity as an artist, independent or with 10,000 maniacs.

I saw 10,000 Maniacs in 1987 at the Santa Barbara County Bowl. The venue was packed! I remember seeing a young girl with her hands clinched into quivering fists - held to her chest. I was instantly reminded of old photos I had see of young girls at 'Beatles' concerts; with unabashed, reverent, near - hysteria - about to faint or collapse. Natalia Merchant with her profound lyrics and her magical stage - presence moved me and others deeply. I will never forget that day!

Such a rad balance of interpretive dance and amazing delivery. “If you intend” is a song that I identify with my mom and her narcissistic view of the world. As the song progresses, Merchant goes from spinning beautifully to writhing spastically as the song closes. Artful in every way ❤️
