Nice tight, abbreviated BWIAB with some great piano work from Paul Shaeffer. Additional piano in the ABB has always sounded good to the ears!
This one clocks in at under 4 minutes believe it or not. I heard it on the radio in abbreviated format back in the day, but I'm sure it was still 6 minutes long.
I've been listening to this one a lot lately, even if they didn't "reach the end and we'll all be singing and we'll all be friends."
Ya know..I was thinking the ABB might have been on Letterman this week since they were in town and being the final shows for this lineup.
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
I remember watching this one when it aired, a few weeks after they were on Leno and performed "No One to Run With", which I had heard on the radio a lot. This was the first time I heard "Back Where It All Begins", I was blown away. Imagine when I heard all 9-minutes of it on the album.
