Format:Audio CD
This album stands as one of the most impressive MTV Unplugged albums ever recorded. The unique style and sound of the 10,000 Maniacs was captured beautifully in this concert, preserving an unforgettable legacy by the group which was essentially breaking up at the time this was released. Anyone who listened to the radio back then has to know and remember Because the Night. While it is still hard for me to believe this song so wonderfully suited to Natalie Merchant’s voice was written by Bruce Springsteen, it served as a most impressive means of introducing Natalie Merchant sans Maniacs to the larger listening audience. Like many fans, I am not that familiar with the 10,000 Maniacs albums predating In My Tribe, but all of the 14 songs on this album (including four from In My Tribe) are just hauntingly exquisite. Each song tells a story, often a serious one touching on important social issues, infusing this modernized folk music with a very human folk music consciousness that speaks to both the head and heart in a number of very effective ways. If the unique sound of 10,000 Maniacs doesn’t move you at first, give it a second listen, and I’m sure the power of the music will begin to reveal itself to you. It is unfortunate that Natalie Merchant left the group, but the magic that was 10,000 Maniacs has been wonderfully preserved in this truly incredible live recording.

If I could take only 3 CD’s to a desert island than this would have to be among them, this is 10,000 Maniacs sounding their best! The unplugged sound, complete with mini orchestra really suites their slightly folk/pop style of music, and beautifully compliments Natalie's wonderful voice - the type of voice that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Even If you've never heard of the somewhat strangely named 10,000 Maniacs before then get this album, as it contains some of the the best tracks from their other albums, and unless you like the extremes of music you are very unlikely to be disappointed!

Format:VHS Tape
Someone gave me this album a few years ago. I loved it at the time, and I still think it's great. Perhaps it's sentimental, or nostalgic, or maybe this is just onee of those albums that allow you to maintain enjoyment of the music. Almost everytime someone new hears this on our stereo, they always ask 'who is this?' and most have gone out and bought it! Well worth it. Yeh.

Isn`t it strange how you can go for years virtually unaware of an artist or band, even assuming their music is not for you - and then you can`t get enough? Read more

An excellent album, Natalie really makes the acoustic set work bringing some of her greatest tracks into a format which they seem to have been writen for. Read more

What a fab album...
If you don't own any 10,000 Maniacs music, then I would highly recommend this as an introduction. Natalie's voice is outstanding, and there are some really catchy tunes on this. Read more
