This was the best concert by 10K Maniacs (with Natalie Merchant), and the best MTV Unplugged concert. Natalie, of course, went on to write music for herself and became even more popular; while, unfortunately, the rest of the band - needing someone like Natalie to provide the artistic/creative force - fell into obscurity. There were a few great musicians in this band, though. If you like music at all, the chances are excellent that you'll like this performance. After that, you'll likely find yourself searching for all of the 10KM disks, and all of Natalie Merchant's solo stuff as well. None of it will disappoint.

10,000 Maniacs is a United States-based multi-platinum alternative rock band, formed in 1981, that continues to perform and release music. In 2016, the band celebrated its 35th anniversary. The band was formed as Still Life in 1981 in Jamestown, New York, by Dennis Drew, Steven Gustafson, Chet Cardinale, Robert Buck and Teri Newhouse. Gustafson invited Natalie Merchant, who was 17 at the time, to do some vocals. John Lombardo, who was in a band called The Mills and used to play occasionally with Still Life, was invited to join permanently on guitar and vocals. Newhouse and Cardinale left the band in July, and Merchant became the main singer. Various drummers came and left. The band changed its name to Burn Victims and then to 10,000 Maniacs after the low-budget horror movie Two Thousand Maniacs!.
