Live from Austin, TX. December 14, 1988 * Eric Johnson - Guitar * Kyle Brock - Bass Guitar * Tommy Taylor - drums
LYRICS:
"Take me from these earth bound chains
I must find it once again
The meaning of equality
We will never hide in shame
But forever guard the flame
Burning for eternity
Hundreds of nights
Oh, my body cries
A trail of tears
Promises sometimes don't keep
Freedom, put to sleep, and now I know
(I lay my body down)
Written with the words you tell
Stories, a lesson in life from long ago
Hundreds of nights
Oh, my body cries
A trail of tears
Hold on, hold dear
The time is near
When you'll know why
The spirit flies
Hundreds of nights
Oh, my body cries
A trail of tears
Children carried on your back
Driven through the wind and cold
How have you become so few
But in the end, oh, I will see
Your spiritual liberty
Forever to be with you
Hundreds of nights
Oh, my body cries
A trail of tears
Hundreds of nights
Oh, my body cries
A trail of tears
Hold on, hold dear
The time is near
When you'll know why
The spirit flies"

GREAT SOUND for 1988 and for LIVE, just PUREST, no false note..

one person doesnt know what real music is and decided the dislike button was a suicide button.

This is pretty close to perfection in my book. I haven't seen other guitar work that is as interesting and diverse like this. The harmonics are striking as well the way they are incorporated into the melody. Hats off to his bandmates as well. It had to be an honor to be part of this.
