10,000 Maniacs - My Mother The War (live) скачать видео бесплатно

Keith Bate

The thought of Natalie merchant" being high" (on drugs) as a number of people have suggested on this thread amuses me no end.She was a rather sweet innocence girl back in the day . But "the music was in her" and that explains her dancing. yes she "was high" but not on drink nor drugs. This is a great live track but the band had been known for a few years in the UK thanks to John Peel playing the band on his late evening radio show The audience were more into far more commercial stuff of the time such as Wham and Duran Duran and the Thompson Twins. All of whom also played on the tube to better audience reactions of course.

!0,000 Maniacs one of the great American bands of any era. This clip shows why.

This was taken from the UK tv show "the tube" which was broadcast on Friday evenings. I used to race home from work to watch it. Some memorable performances and this was one of my all time high lights . Great track . Natalie looks great (as ever !) and I love her "dervish dancing" so cute and enchanting. 1984. How the years pass (sigh)

I love the Hope Chest album. It would have to be one of my desert island picks.

I'd quite forgotten the reckless dancing- one of the great American contributions to the eighties.

Peter Beck

if you get a chance, listen to the original studio recording, in the car, with the volume full up, just amazing.

Simon Gelling

Wasted on the studio audience

Back in the day Natalie Merchant was one of the most amazing frontpeople I've seen in over 30 years of concertgoing. She was absolutely magnetic, unpredictable, and intense - if you can find the actual footage of their debut on SNL, she actually breaks the mike stand slamming it on the ground.

These people were in shock!

My roommate had this whole concert on videotape when we were in college, in the early 1990's. Damn, I miss the long-haired, crazy-dancing, mysterious, young Natalie Merchant. That was back when she was truly cool.

No doubt one of the best women vocalist I've ever heard, I love her voice.

... after one of their performances and after My Mother the War by a friend of mine who wrote the USF newspaper, The Oracle, and Natalie was quite coherent conversing with me about ending the nuclear weapons threat that both of us shared in common as an issue. She also told my friend that when she performed My Mother the War she was being a mimic to people she had seen in being a fellow psyche patient after her high school suicide attempt when she performed My Mother the War. She wasn't high

I'm going to guarantee you that Natalie was NOT high. I actually met her in the fall of 1983. 10,000 Maniacs from the year 1983 to 1986 use to come to my alma mater, the University of South Florida (I graduated in May 1987), quite often to play several free gigs (I got to see the band at least 5 times for free), and in the fall of 1983 when they came and performed at the Empty Keg (USF's area is known as suitcase, and the band apparently knew a lot of people there) and they were interviewed

Well acquainted with sorrow Left millions in grief My mother the war - NM is giving away all of her energy with this song; God bless her and the 10KM for bring energy, hope and love to this world!

Fábio Valenti Possamai

I was completely thrilled by this version. It is a very hypnotic song - Natalie's voice sounds like a dream/nightmare, and the rest of the band keep the atmosphere unsettled. Thank you for sharing this!

This is the band I remember--that I went to school with and used to go see all the time at dive bars in Jamestown NY and area. I couldnt believe it when I started to see strangers on the streets of Manhattan wearing Maniac t-shirts in the late '80s. Planned Obsolescense my fav from this time.

Derek Gennaro

Always loved this song-- such energy!! Great to see a live performance of it. Thanks for sharing it.
