I get goosebumps when I hear Michael singing the opening lines and then Peter’s voice roars through but it’s not until Natalie sings her solo piece that I know I’ve witnessed one of the best performances of all time. 3 amazing talents...... I feel so lucky to have lived in the era of Michael Stipe, Natalie Merchant and Peter Gabriel.
God, I've never heard this. 3 of the most unique and amazing voices in rock history altogether on one amazing, ethereal, powerful song. Just amazing. Thank you for this.
@@FacheChanteDeux of course you will ! Plenty of talent around now as there was decades before this performance. I have been gig going for 50 years now, and last week I saw the National give my best live gig since the late 1980's
This is my first time ever viewing this. This was one of the greatest collaborations I've ever seen in a decade. Peter Gabriel will go down as my All time Favorite Songwriter in my lifetime but to pair up with my Favorite female singer Natalie Merchant, this was mind-blowing !!!!!
this a masterpiece and i missed it somehow im stunned by this --didnt live in the usa in 90"s i didnt see this ever its incredible i want to go back to this time no cellphones all the tv people there in absolute bliss this was life before 911 they were great times of peace and unity it wasnt like it is now 2023 terrible world we were all young then and everyday was like disneyland ......im so proud they did this on tv now in 2023 this couldnt happen
we were all so stunning also then this captures something gone in time EPIC TALENT TIMELESS EVENT i used to spend hours a day dreaming of natalie and joan also natalies female guitar player was one of the best there was back then she changed music perception of serious female guitarist
Way back.......1979 or '80......I was in NYC in a club called Danceteria. There was a great band playing with this amazing, charismatic singer. Maybe 30 of us standing by the stage watching. Years later I realized it was 10,000 Maniacs. And that singer was Natalie!
REM/Michael had some great songs, excellent excellent.. Natalie has been such a gift to us all, greatest stage dancer ever and amazing singer.. add the open crushes with the secret crushes u probably have the most adored woman ever. Peter well that's another level.
Awards Show: Peter Gabriel & Michael Stipe! (Nothing!) When: "Super Star: Natalie Merchant" Plays, The Steinway Grand Piano & Sings! "It Brings Tears, To: My Eyes!" ;(
Very cool, saw 100s on great concerts there growing up, and it still makes me sad that this took place at where Harry Potter land is at nowadays. seems unreal and sad at the same time for old timers like me.
Lucky you! I haven’t seen any of them but I just bought a ticket to see Natalie July 8 in Chautauqua NY - 15 miles from where she grew up. I’m so excited!
when i hear natalie im taken back to the 90's its heart-wrenching because alot is gone from those times we were alot happier without cellphones and this is a testament to the beauty of people back then BRAVO all those wonderful people replaced by the WOKE LEFT sad sad wrong
When I was her age in this video(I’m a couple of years older than her) Joe liked me. I wasn’t into her but she told me I looked like Natalie and that it was one of the reasons she wanted to , you know what. 😉
This started off well enough, but by the end it's all kinda cheesy. Just very sanitized and generic. Like they were going for the 'warm & fuzzy' thing but playing it very safe over great performances.
