@TheVaughan7 Have no idea when or where this was recorded, but it's definitely a different version than the one on "In Concert..."

If Phil were still around today, imagine the songs he could compose about what is going in the world politicallly. Miss you Phil and your songs take on such special meaning considering how relevant they still are today.

Gordon Lightfoot told me that Phil wrote this song while he was visiting Gordon in Toronto. He wrote it while sitting on Gordon's back steps one day. Best song ever.

The best thing Phil ever wrote... and that says a truckload, man.

@eurose93 Here's to similar memories! Clink!

may the heavens hold you phil. you inspired me when i was young, & your songs still ring true & clear. the cost of freedom is measured here. had you found a way through your illness, i don't know if we'd have your songs. so, here's to you, brother lost & found.

@LaylaBklyn I was a teen in Vancouver, don't know how or when I got turned on to Phil but this song prompted me to pick up my dad's 6 string and learn enough chords to play along, words reaching down deep. I also saw Phil, similar experience. It was a small club in Vancouver, I felt out of place but happily endured it with the anticipation of seeing PHIL, ready to drink in the experience. Instead, stabbingly painful .. he was drunk..catcalls .. led off. now all these years later I'm here. ahh
He was a truely great artist. It's good to see he lives on in the memories of others. Though very troubled I will always remember him fondly.

Ochs was bipolar, He did not lose his marbles but had an untreated illness This song is breathtaking
