  1. One of my Top 10 concerts ever will always be seeing 10,000 Maniacs in Athens GA (for $3) on February 6, 1988. It made me an instant and lifelong Natalie fan!

  2. I hear you, NoelM! I saw 10,000 Maniacs on April 26, 1988, at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania (Tracy Chapman opened!). My friends and I had already been listening to the “In My Tribe” album on heavy rotation. The concert was great and we became even bigger fans after that.
