Born and raised in Chicago I remember seeing these guys live at the Metro, along with the other great rock bands of this era. This needs to be seen by more people absolutely great!

This song brings back so many wonderful memories. The good old days. It's so crazy how a certain song can take you back to that very same place when u first heard it, for me it is 15 years ago! Wow! Thanks for this video :)

@ElGorcho listen to the studio version. power pop. this performance is also missing the screaming lead guitar note in the chorus, which is essential.

[ElGorcho]

Sounds more like 3rd wave Emo than power pop

@hectorsalinasisback OMG!  Of all of those bands the ONLY one M.I. couldn't touch is Cheap Trick... this tune alone is better than the Romantics ENTIRE catalogue!

Fantastic Power Pop! This version of the song kicks serious tail. This band was tight live! It's probably very hard to find now, but their CD of a concert at Metro in Chicago, with Nash Kato announcing them onto the stage, is a true classic. Jim had a lot of rocking left to do. As with all suicides, it was unfortunate, unnecessary, and sad. But the music lives on..............Thanks for this clip!
