Melody Maker is run by a bunch of tired, middle aged old stoners. I was always a NME reader myself, although I have to admit it's gone off since the late '70s. The Voice would be Natalie's, obviously.
John Lombardo writes such sweet songs. Cotton Alley is one of my favorites by him. I miss the old simple 10,000 Maniacs which Mary does echo when she took over as lead. Thanks for posting this.
Is there any youtube performance of Maniacs' Tension, Everyone a Puzzle Lover or The Lion's Share??
From a blog on "Group of Four" advocate Frank Stamm's myspace page:
"An undiscovered gem for fans of the 10,000 Maniacs are those little-heard John and Mary CDs. They continue the folky experiments of the Wishing-Chair-era Maniacs, a time before the band dedicated themselves to pop hits."
Ha,this one is amazing,Lami,thanks tons for it.John&Mary are still my fave duo.And Wishing Chair was the best 10kM album. Do you have more from this concert? Many thanks again.
Sorry Joske, these were the only two I recorded. I was just testing out my new camera. I had the camera balancing on a half-squashed coffee cup -- I didn't have any kind of tripod. I didn't really expect them to come out at all!
so good to see john and mary (and jerry augustyniak, sp?) playing together. was lucky enough to see and meet them a few times and they are as friendly as they are talented. very appreciative of their fans. thanks for posting!
One of my favorite groups of all time. John and Mary!

strangely enough, mary's voice here isn't as annoying as natalie merchant's.

I think it's fitting here to post a quote I found on the internet:
"It would take a feat of monumental cynicism not to be enchanted by the life-affirming wonder John & Mary enchant you with".

God that metal guitar solo stinks. John's put on a bit of weight too hasn't he. Mary's a nice girl but she hasn't got The Voice.
