Twice for me, too. Same shows. Same grin, I think, too!!!!
People around me were confused, tho. Didn't recognize the song.

I used to hate the song, but now I love it! Go figure.

Charlotte '08 for my too. For 38 degrees, that was a helluva show last year. When he said he was going to do it, my head almost exploded!

Excellent clip, gingerbreadman. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, was that Charleston who followed Jimmy off-stage in that clip? That guy looks like he can move FAST for a big man!

Never have heard it live. That's OK with me. I prefer lots of other songs...and that one takes up a lot of time. (or maybe it just seems that way to me :lol: )

Yes, In Charlotte last year. As an encore, by himself. Many of the somewhat younger crowd were puzzled by it, but the older faithful were amazed. I know I was.

I believe I have seen him sing 1 other time but can't specically recal. Anyone ever see him play "The Lawyer and the a**hole" which he only performed live in 1983 and/or 1984. A very funny song in response to not being able to play G.O.D.

PhinZ UP!

I can't believe I forgot last year in Charlotte!! I was so stoked after the show!

I've seen him perform in back in the eighties and then recently. I distinctly remember Jimmy playing "The Lawyer and the A$$hole" the year after he was banned from playing G.O.D. I was laughing my a$$ off (and it wasn't Utley's plastic a$$).

Thanks, and that WAS Charleston following Jimmy offstage... Ya don't wanna mess with Charleston! :lol:

Funny tho... seeing Charleston tripping on something at the very end there... Gives me lots of reassurance that Jimmy is in good hands!!! :lol: :lol:
