This song does'nt work for me...I really think horrible things about this song.
It did'nt work for me in past tours or recently in BOSTON.
However the "STILL LIFE" version I can deal with occasionly.

ANY thoughts on this tired song?

oh my my my: i get great joy out of it and i love it whenever they take it out for a spin - especially when Keith's singin back-up.
sorry you're feeling tired, BostonStrangler - have some popcorn, it might help. :E

I don't understand the popcorn references. What's behind it???

this is actually one of my favorite non warhorse songs.

there's nothing behind the popcorn, JJFlash. it's just a sign of good will - have some.

does that include caramel corn?.....for the sugar junkes

Th most underated warhorse.

OK some big fans of the song here..thats great.
I guess its just todays back ups that just sound odd to me.
im goin' to get some smart food right now!
maybe I'll find some new inspiration for LSTNT after I eat some.

The most underated warhorse, i could not agree more.

I disagree, it worked great in Boston! What a nice change to hear that again instead of the lame " She's So Cold!". Now that song is one that doesn't work! It worked only as a video, IMO.

much, much better in 81/82 when Keith was the only one on back-up.

LSTNT is a great song. I remember when it first came it it caused quite a stir. Bowie does a nice cover of it.

It's so very lonely, you're 2,000 Light Years from home

The first notes of the tune at MSG made me cringe. It was as if I had a flashback to the same MSG show for the No Security tour ~ and even then, it was not enjoyable. Top that with the lollypop version of GOMC at the center stage; it's no wonder my whole section sat down or took a bathroom break.

We all just want roots rock & blues from the heart, not from Chuck's songlist.

For me it was the low point of the January 23rd Chicago show. Cheasy hearing back-up singers without seeing them, and the song sounded fragile and tinny. Fortunately, after that it was all uphill!
