I have the CD. And I was there back on the second night back in 1989 at the Jubilee Auditorium. A Friday night and it was excellent show and venue. Sweet memories.
An album called "Tom Cochrane & Red Rider The Symphony Sessions" with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Quite rare. Best version of this song and many other Red Rider greats in my opinion.
This song was featured in the movie made about Terry Fox a few years back. It was the part of the Movie where Terry and a young bald kid with cancer go swimming together. A tear jerker but the song is very fitting for that scene.
well i realize that only 2000 people have watched this but anyone who is into this song should check out "stupid boy - keith urban"...I wonder where Keith got the idea for his song....
I was enjoying this song so much I bit my tongue on accident!

@TheSandsie13 is " donkeys years" anything like a "coon's age"? if so donkeys years just
might replace coon's age in my vocabulary.

Very nice. I love the symphony sessions version, where it's a bit more stripped down.
