I've always considered this song in my top 10 of "all time greatest rock songs" ever (VH1 is crazy). This performance put it top 3.
When younger generations ask me about "older " great music (incredible how good music filters through the generations), I send them to this for the 80's.
majestic may i add,arguably the best guitar piece ever played .....tell me whos better than this,how anyone dare challenge this with their primative skills !
There is no word in any language that can explain the perfection of this performance. people were stunned when they heard the studio version. I really wish I was there when this was performed
I could go deaf right now and be okay with it because i just heard the best thing ever!

@MrMukda123 First of all, that instrument is a saxophone, not a trumpet.
And it's Chris White playing.
Oh, and if you like him, you should check out Clarence Clemons from the E Street Band.
He's a hell of a genius. (Especially on 'Jungleland')
