Out of all of the times I've seen them live, I've never seen them play this. It's my absolute favorite. I've been a fan for 20 years now and this song will never get old. Saw them live tonight too....they were amazing, but I couldn't help but hope for this. One day! They are back together now, so hopefully there will be many more shows to see!
No offense here. But when people say they sound like the Doors. Get it straight. They sound nothing like the Doors. Jeff's voice can resemble Jim Morrison's, but he was 1/4 of the Doors. The band sounds nothing like the doors...
@pencon61 I don't know why you would think this would offend me? I saw The Tea Party for the first time in 1993 opening for Blind Melon in Winnipeg Canada and was hooked from the first chord... I always bawked at the Doors comparison. My post was more a shot at a person making comparison with The Doors, when in fact The tea Party music sounds nothing like the Doors, rather Jeff Martin can resemble the baritone sound of Jim Morrison. Whom in fact was only 1/4 of The Doors... I'm a huge TP fan...
The first time I heard them, they reminded me of the Doors. The Tea Party is a very talented band that I had the pleasure to see a few times. I still have an old T-shirt from one of they're concerts. They should have received more recognition for they're talent.
@RoseyHar Me too, i was in a second hand cd store and they were playing over the speakers and i had to ask who they were because they sounded like the Doors and being a massive Doors fan i had to find out who it was. The guy working there told me it was The Tea party so i brought Transmission and loved it so than i got Splendor Solice and Edges of Twilight.

@RoseyHar the thing was they could have been huge!!! jeff martin didnt want to be commercialized idk if you understood that or not a bout the tea party, he wasnt all his fans to be true and to be the kind that went out of there way to find there music not just a bunch of kids that heard them on the radio so much that thats why they know them.
This was always one my favorite songs. Saw them a couple times in the 90s when they'd come to VT. Being just a kid, I'd call out for this song - loudly! They wouldn't play it! Don't know why...its not like theres a lot of overdubs.
@nategwinn, i would have to agree being a Canadian i had the pleasure of hear them, I remember when i stole this album from my older brother lol and i still have it probably my fav band from the 90s

The Doors was one of the most terrible overrated bands ever. If I'm listening to the radio and a Doors song comes on I turn it off.
You want the Jim Morrison story? Here it is, all summed up for you.

I'm still waiting for the day I can convince my girlfriend to do a striptease to this song for me.
Or I guess I could request it at the titty bar. :)

Hmmm, looking at that picture of them, I wonder if they had to make Jeff the drummer stand on a box ;D. Cause I know hes not as tall as the others.
Hehehehe, ok, I'll leave him alone now ;D.

Haha! He IS rather short. I know he's not as tall as Jeff, is, he? lol. He's a kick ass drummer though.
