[MUDSHARK111]

what a solo .amazing .shame the lead up which is beautiful is edited out for the single .

[Melanie61760]

One of my all time favourite bands. Should have been HUGE

[sake008]

I love Dan Reed, rocking his (sexy) shaved head long before it was fashionable to do so!

[marcuslaughton]

@sake008 he had cancer and was recieving chemo, thats why he lost his hair. had the pleasure of seeing them at nottingham rock city in the uk in 1990. absolutely brilliant band.

[marcusvan]

PORTLAND's BEST!!!!

[mandolinroad]

Love those vintage metal guitars with mirrored tuning screws and pointy heads.

[tommylambert]

does anyone have the mp3 of this song? i cant find it anywhere!

[herb4peace]

yup...and a few others too, drop by and enjoy... Peace

[makikomi]

Ummm... there is a link to Itunes in the window at the end of the video

[fuzzynicki]

Loved these guys when they supported Bon Jovi. Saw them a couple of times in UK. Great to see they're still going

[fastra]

@fuzzynicki Yep - this looks like Wembly too, supporting Bon Jovi!

[neilotudor42]

the best ever band that never made it..simple as that...saw them 5 times in the UK 1989..91 ...the most amazing live act too... try get hold of their , unfortunately ultra rare live video "Live at last"..I ripped it to DVD...its only black n white though due to a tech problem Dan Pred(their drummer) had when producing the video..although it was filmed in colour at Portland Oregon Fox theatre on New Years Eve 1991..... awesome..... except for Dans newly shaved bald head!! lol

[Drusilla37]

Got my tixs to see Dan on 21st May

This band was too much for the music sheep, especially for the time. For those of us with appreciation for lyrical and music content, two live crew and other dance centric mindless music overpowered this great band, and DRN was lost in the music shuffle of bad timing. I bought all their CD's and they are in my IPOD rotation to this day. It's a shame that bands like Maggie's Dream and DRN are now lost in the Music Marketing Regime. I hope my kids can spark some "Retro" interest, Jonas bros aside.

[heatdeb]

Thats what i call hitting the nail on the head,respect.I seen him in Glasgow and he was quite brilliant.

[pfdtx]

Thanks Heatdeb! I still can't help but think if DRN's timing was just a little earlier or later, they might have become recognized for the great band they are.

[acie1972]

"To me a woman's soul is like a mirror, when you look into it a man has no fear. I would never break what keeps us whole, a woman like you I would never let go". Love those lyrics. They edited those lyrics out of this video unfortunetly.

[tygertygers]

this was filmed at wembley stadium london when they supported the rolling stones. they were great, but when dan reed cut his hair they seemed to lose all there power and never recovered.. they where shit hot when they supported bon jovi a couple of years before

[heatdeb]

Record company pussies shit themselves when he cut his hair and dropped them.Result=charts

[redmed10]

@heatdeb Now everybody shaves their head in rock bands. How ironic.

[flippowiggo]

Wonderful to hear this again, heavenly song with one of the sweetest guitar hooks ever..

[kaibar25]

still shitty and hopeless band lol!

[ripleymuc]

solid songwriting, charismatic singer and an unbelievable new sound on there first album (producer: bob clearmountain?). the could be as successful as bon jovi. its not always "the best band" succeeds in the business.

[tammyjroberts]

Where are you coming from?

Go back there!

[gnidnats]

Amazing band, but i miss "sister"... It`s f...... beautiful, haven`t seen it here, and I tell you you`re missing out

[svenroser]

This video was shot during their support for the Stones.Other supports were Gun and G n Roses.Guitarist Byron was the only guy who earned Keith Richards´respect.Apart from the music they were a bunch of absolutely amazing guys who should´ve fared way better

[Macovic]

wtf is that big audience doing there. the artist got nothing.

[Macovic]

damn it stinks

[newsoul]

Great ballad this album like the first should have been huge sellers. Polygram did not know how to handle a band like DRN.

[sweeteegrl]

This is uhm... I just can't even think of a word to describe how AMAZING this is! Anyway, thanks!

[MUDSHARK111]

rotten bastards edited the solo.the acoustic prelude to the solo is perfect.

[edcollante]

There's plenty of love in this here man. Love this song!

[wederell1]

Dan the man!! Peace!!
