@soul2tone Is without a doubt the nicest thing I have read on YouTube this week. Hell, month. Possibly this year. You add a great deal to this page by sharing that man. More than you could know. Peace be with you and all that.

I'm curious to know what year this was done...it ended up on his "five-string-serenade" and I'm guessin' the early 1990's here. Cool to see it live here...I think this version is better than the studio version. Arthur's lookin' pretty sharp, ain't he?

@soul2tone Cool story bro... but the video is an error :(

You can really see where Jim Morrison got his inspiration from in this performance :) Love Arthur :D So glad i got to see him live a few times in 2003/2004 having been too toung to catch him around this time and before. So shocked when he died, sad time :( Five String Seranade always makes me cry, dunno why :-S Thanks for the clip :) Best Wishes xxx
