Such a weird placement of the song! They did it second to last in the encore, right after RVM. Total surprise to have it there but...man....
Hearing Eddie sing it at that time period made me sad. His delicate voice on the chorus is beautiful. he has so much power and beauty at the same time.
And the tempo...they play this song SO SLOW AND PLODDING NOWADAYS.
Im not even kidding...I JUST WENT RIGHT NOW TYPING THIS POST TO SEE IF EDDIE WAS PLAYING GUITAR INSTEAD OF STONE since the song was moving and flowing so well at the beginning
I am so sad. It is so special at this time period. Why can he not play it like this? The biggest thing for me is tempo i DESPISE the speed they play it at now.

love it. those live takes from '93-'00 are all pretty great.
the early days of the song are some of my favorites because they felt a little slower, a little quieter, a little closer to the album. it takes on a different life around '03, maybe. still good, but not the same for me.
