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:
“What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.”
—Betty Friedan (20th century)
“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
