Natalie's voice is pure magic and like no other ....

The last time I heard her live...looking forward to the next time.

Beautiful American, Natalie Merchant, then age 27, and charismatic English, Billy Bragg, age 33, performed live this medley, in 1990 or something. "Summertime".....

@sbryant328 cant top your comment there: natalie merchant has a voice from heaven, writes all her stuff + is an artist of first-rate integrity -- and bloody beautiful [+ totally pc] in a good way

Do you have more of this show? I was at the concert. Belly, and Buffalo Tom played as well.

Eu gosto muito da Natalie!!! Brazilian kisses for you!!!

Great benefit for SHake A leg.What a great day.

perfect. perfect. perfect. perfect. PERFECT. ...but seriously, people need to not throw stuff at Natalie (0:12). That was not okay.

When was this recorded? And a "setlist" also would be nice, because I don't know all of the songs.

I have "Bread and Circus's" downloaded. What is the name of the song she sings on the intro of it? It's a great song to use as an intro/combo song.

"I don't remember the words". LOL. Even so, pure perfection. We all adore you immensely Natalie. This Avatar is our first meeting April 8, 1999. Eleven years prior to the very day my son was born and my daughter named Natalie-Anne in her honor. Everyone MUST see the Mermaid Avenue documentary Man in the Sand of Billy attempting to conduct an interview while Natalie picks at his eyebrows and eats imaginary fleas! Hahaha! Epic Natalie. "Stop it, I am trying to talk and be filmed. It will be on BBC2 and you will be eating fleas off me eyebrows. Think about it, you are not at home now. BEHAVE!" Oh what a marvelous friendship. Keep up the great work Miss Merchant! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qbrpZBjIBpU.html

What is the name of the song that follows "Summertime"? It sounds like a English Folk Tune.

@NateEtan Bread and Circus's. Its a b side

Holy fuck.....

Great stuff - but those are AWFUL shorts that Billy is wearing!

Whatever she caught she said she would "save for the drive home." I wonder what it was?

GOD she is a flirt! :D

sometimes this world is just alright.

Unlikely he's English...

@mishkin78 u sound so small minded n ridiculous. these all different religions and people r allowed 2 have their own beliefs. duh. we don't all have 2 be n think just 1 way n path. u don't know this???? sad.

This is from 8/28/1993 and it's great to remember! I forgot how funny Billy was. Yes. If there is a full recording of the benefit I would LOVE to see it. full sets of natalie and belly esp

Only pertentious capitalists would be so concerned about Billy's shorts!

Oh mercy. This is sublime.

My recollection is that this was Natalie's first solo performance after announcing she was leaving 10,000 Maniacs. Fantastic concert that included Buffalo Tom and Belly.

OMG I finally found some video. Drove from Maine to see Natalie and Belly. Locked my keys in my car. Great memories!!

Bread and circuses is a B side to one of Billy Braggs 12's from memory. I've got it on vinyl here somewhere.

Sometimes it's good to rehearse that sort of thing.

Thank you Nathalie !

Year?

nice way to turn a great song into a very boring song
