I spent an entire summer blaring it from my clapped-out Grand Cherokee in high school. It's an underrated gem sold short by the massive success of "More Than Words". My friends and I saw them a year ago in LA and they were fantastic (as were Living Colour who opened for them). Hearing Nuno play the opening to "Women In Love" as a Van Halen tribute was icing on the cake and probably the closest we'll ever come to hearing Eddie do it now that he's gone.

Sadly I’ve never seen them live. Nuno is really one of the great ones, when you’re that good it’s easy to go overboard and lose track of what the song needs.

How was Living Colour? That’s one I have on the bucket list.

Amazing. The entire band was in top form and Corey sounds as amazing as he did 30 years ago. Getting to hear all of the great deep cuts from "Vivid" and "Time's Up" was a real treat. They also did a little old school hip-hop medley based around Doug's time as a session musician for Grandmaster Flash et al. I didn't even realize that they were opening until the day of so it was a very welcome surprise.
