Johnny Thunders:"You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory"

A sublime live performance on Spanish television:La Edad de Oro, Madrid in 1985.
I love the acoustic Spanish backup guitar here, and Johnny looks visibly MOVED in this performance:is that a TEAR he's wiping away?

@gripperpro1

I agree 100%!!!

Why did he end this great performance with "Alright, question and answer time now?" Why ruin a great performance by ending it like that?

@pbot2029

Because that is how this song ends, those are the ending lyrics as spoken by Johnny. I've heard him perform this song COUNTLESS times and he always ends it like that. :)

why upload it again?

[Babyhowdy233]

Because videos get REMOVED routinely here on Youtube for supposed copyright violation. The more times an excellent and rare video (such as THIS) has been uploaded, the less chance that it will disappear from Youtube..possibly forever.

Johnny and Willy DeVille were two of the best things to come out of CBGB's. Both are gone now, but left marks no one can erase.
