Natalie Merchant Live in Concert was recorded June 12th, 1999 at the Neil Simon Theater in New York City. The album features songs from Natalie’s solo career, her time with 10,000 Maniacs and three cover versions of songs by David Bowie, Neil Young and Welsh singer-songwriter Katell Keineg.
“Outlaw is not a term that obviously applies to Natalie Merchant… most parents probably feel blessed when her soothing alto emanates from their children’s bedrooms. Yet from the moment she emerged shrouded in a hot-pink veil to begin the second of five concerts at the Neil Simon Theater, Ms. Merchant gave her own definition to defiant artistry.” — New York Times
Recorded at the Neil Simon Theater and mixed by George Cowan at Sony Studios, both in New York, NY.
