About
In retrospect, a lot of the best <i>MTV Unplugged</i> episodes were farewell performance. While the episodes featuring Nirvana and Alice In Chains now seem like funerals for their lead singers in advance of their death, the 10,000 Maniacs set sounds more like a bittersweet going-away party for Natalie Merchant, who had decided to leave the band to embark on a solo career shortly before it was recorded. The set list for 10,000 Maniacs’ <i>MTV Unplugged</i> is heavy on material from their then-recent <i>Our Time in Eden</i> album, but is also effectively a greatest-hits collection showcasing the most widely beloved songs from <i>In My Tribe</i> and <i>Blind Man’s Zoo</i>. The <i>Unplugged</i> premise doesn’t do much to change the style of the song, which rarely included much in the way of distortion or electronic element, but the live energy adds a bit of kick to uptempo numbers like “Candy Everybody Wants” and “Hey Jack Kerouac.” The most significantly reworked song, “Eat for Two” and “Don’t Talk,” are much more melancholy and elegiac in their all-acoustic arrangement. .
