Live Performance
The song premiered live on 9/14/1985 in St. Goarshausen, Germany, before the actual release of the album. Present day, it is still played occasionally, though not as often as the band's best-known songs. It is believed that the song was played live with Cliff Burton only two times: 09/14/85 and 12/31/85. The song was played acoustically two times for the Bridge School Benefit at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, the lyrics are the same, but the structure was changed (October 27 and 28, 2007). The song features on live album Orgullo, Pasión y Gloria: Tres Noches en la Ciudad de México, recorded in June 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performance:
“I should consent to breed under pressure, if I were convinced in any way of the reasonableness of reproducing the species. But my nerves and the nerves of any woman I could live with three months, would produce only a victim ... lacking in impulse, a mere bundle of discriminations. If I were wealthy I might subsidize a stud of young peasants, or a tribal group in Tahiti.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Just as the performance of the vilest and most wicked deeds requires spirit and talent, so even the greatest demand a certain insensitivity which under other circumstances we would call stupidity.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
