Maybe the first time I liked a current day performance of an old favorite. JIm Kerr, and that drummer is fantastic.

HAHA! right? If Jim is this old....how old are we? 0_o

I just remember back in the day he was married to one of my favorite women of all time....

Wow, great version, would love to hear that at the Union Chapel in London - still one of my favourite songs from SM :)

OOF!.... Union Chapel! That would be amazing! There are few bands that sound better live than they do in the recording studio. SM is one of those bands.

So many great SM songs! . (This is also one of my favourite songs of time)
