Great song and a very unique location. You were lucky. I really love this song. Brings me back to the 80's which were not the greatest times in Ireland. I find it a very emotional song but i just love the way the words "when you smile" are sung and all the varying emotions they convey. ....PB
Great song, but Concrete Blonde did it better justice on the Mexican Moon record. Yes, I know Steve wrote it, but it's so much moodier and powerful on MM.
@jsullysix Concrete Blonde ain't fit to belch up Steve Wynn's busted guitar picks. Go take a listen to the original EP version of this song and then get back to us.
I respect your opinion, it's a great song, for sure. I saw Steve play it live when he opened for Johnette's side band, Pretty & Twisted in the mid 90s, and stand by my original post. That said, Steve is clearly a great writer, and I have nothing but respect for him.
If I had been there, no way I could talk during this or any of the songs. Must listen. I hope Alex will invite me to his next partay with Steve and band.
it was in my buddy alex's living room! private partay. we knew what we were seeing...it's just Steve & the band were so cool & unassuming & nice ... that the whole night had a great casz vibe to it. definitely an all-time- classic night! I'll eventually post all the songs...so stay tuned...

Wow, where was this? It doesn't sound like the crowd understood what they were seeing. This was wasted on them.
