Issue must have been resolved, though, since available again.

I lost interest in them as soon as she left. And didn't like the work she was putting out on her own. Some of her best work was after she went solo, it showcased her vocal talent far more than the Maniacs style allowed.....listen to the 2 tracks I posted, Natalie solo.

I put the cutoff somewhere between Born to Run and The River. Yeah, Natalie was pretty hot, beyond what you’d think at first glance. Her voice/accent is a big part, I think. What fresh Hell is this?

The band was still tight as ever and sounded great although I hear a few members left the band recently. We got to BS with them at a local bar afterwards while they signed some swag. Cool dudes who just like making music. Any band of 30 years plus usually has some turnover, someone dies, or it implodes. The only ones that come to mind who didn't are the Stones and U2, but I guess Wyman retired from the Stones, so there's that.

A favorite (Ramsey on background vocals): Right, right, right, then he proceeds to post another video with Natalie Merchant singing lololol Some key band members CAN'T be replaced, it's that simple....they are the sound of the band. From Zeppelin to Leonard Skinner to the Allmann Bros, losing 1 key member especially the singer and they are done. Natalie left in 93, that was a loooong time ago.

The band is as good as it ever was - the line up last year had some great guitar playing. Vocals were good, but not a clone of NM, nor should she be. NM did a gig with the Cowboy Junkies that was amazing. I have nothing against her. The vid is just that, nothing more. Chill bro. "A Republic, if you can keep it." ~ B. Franklin

I use to listen to them often, as they were a favorite on the play list of one of the radio stations in Metro Minneapolis. City 97.
