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:
“We live by our imaginations, by our admirations, by our sentiments. The child walks amid heaps of illusions, which he does not like to have disturbed. The boy, how sweet to him his fancy! how dear the story of barons and battles! What a hero he is, whilst he feeds on his heroes! What a debt is his to imaginative books!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother.... Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They can’t even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
