I shouted out for this song midset and Dave obliged me with it as an encore. Always been my favorite song of his, something about the imagery of sitting on some stairs on the 4th of July, smoking a cigarette, while some kids light fireworks below as he thinks about his girl.

The 4th of July is becoming my favorite holiday; while Woody Allen escapes to the movie theater and Dean Wareham pulls the blinds, I like to get outdoors and experience the year's peak ripeness.

  • Dave Alvin was in X when they recorded the album that this was on. He replaced Billy Zoom for a while, but didn't stay in the band very long.

  • Watching Amy reminds me of how much we really miss her.

  • @vootie99 You are right, X does a better version but credit to Dave for writing it....

    I can't believe I missed this show, it was right down the sreet and it was free....

  • Superb song, great vocal imagery.

    Why isn't this man rated even higher?

  • Dave Alvin is great, but I think X & John Doe do this one better...

  • Amy Farris!!! I LOVE watching her play!
