Agree. I listen 2 his version of this alot. Wish he would release his own studio version of this with just him on the piano. The way he delivers the lyrics in his `vulnerable` falsetto is stunning. Give me this over dirge like Betcha By Golly Wow anyday!!!

This was performed on a good number of shows during the SOTT-Lovesexy era, a lot of different variations: the Fine Line Cafe, Minn 12.5.1987
(more jazz improvised show/song SOTT era) or from Grösse Freiheit 36, Hamburg (Germany) - Aug 31st 88 with a totally different feel
the most electric was from the 8.31.1988 show, that show must have been the reaching of a peak of the energy of that era because every song was on.

I think if anything he should make money off it and release the recordings, instead of making a studio version. It was that aftershow feel that made it special as well as the people who performed with him.
