This is honestly one of the strongest versions of this song that I've heard. All pistons firing on this one!

The drummers are on fire here. Aiko was at its best in the 90s

Simply amazing. There's nothing like an 85 U.S. Blues!

Is this song good by any means? Not at all, but its not the worst song I've heard from the band. I think this song, along with many others from the same era (way to go home, easy answers, etc), show some potential and might have even been slightly enjoyable if given studio treatment. Even if that album was on the same level as Built to Last, it would still be better than the sloppy, uninspired live versions we hear of all these late era songs
