No autotune, and Nuno singing harmony AND playing. Quality.

[l___]

The drummer and bassist did a good job on this one

[thegingerpowerranger]

No autotune, perfect guitar playing. These guys must have used 5L of conditioner every night but they really knew how to write a masterpiece.

[MeMyselfandI]

Nuno Bettencourt, great singer, great guitarist and that hair and those lips. Perfection!!! 😍

[alexandra-fuoq]

I just saw them live 3 days ago and can’t get over how incredible these guys are live. Gary is 62 and was all over the stage showing some amazing flexibility and sounding as good as ever. And Nuno, well what can I say??? He is still absolute perfection. I was in awe and had a huge grin on my face when I wasn’t singing. I want to repeat the experience again, over and over.

[richg]

This should be the example of a live performance. Incredible from beginning to end. And actually live which is so rare

[MakulitTv-cs]

My Gosh Nuno is extremely handsome guy❤ very talented, very humble person what an incredible man❤

[LenoraShumaker-mi]

People don't appreciate what good music is and these guys are amazing 🤩❤❤

[Labyrinth]

Most bands would just have the members not playing just sit out the performance.

Not these guys. They open the performance with the drummer and bassist playing cards and having a drink AND regularly cut back to them.

Legends.

[sandeepkhadka]

There is no song played with only one instrument as beautiful as this ❤❤

[AragonEquity]

Simply perfect and no playback involved.

[Mandrypusique]

Not the singing you would expect from guys looking like this. Just beautiful!

[wolfstudios]

젊은시절 좋아한 밴드 Extreme..얼마전 유튜브에서 본 노래도 좋았어요.

[ChristianAVS]

This song is timeless af. Been a fave for 3 decades.

[aleciejewski]

I just turned 37 and this album on cd was one of few my parents had for our home sound system. The harmony of their voices always struck me from a young age, and showed me the lengths that vocals could go in the context of simple acoustic inspiration. I always felt this kind of music was the apex of where real spoken word poetry music could go. I would love to meet these guys and tell them how much impact they have had on my life in the poetry of their words. Love everyone who may feel the same <3

[azamormuiza]

Simplicity doesn't mean powerless, This song only needs an acoustic song to render. That's beautiful. Greet peace from Indonesia...👍🙂

[jackruffjones]

Thank you so much for this rare live performance...

[mitchd]

All the haters and doubters back then and they just destroyed you all with a single track that would still be loved, cherished and played on the radio in 2025. That’s how you do it.🙏🏻

[JayDeeIsMyName]

That's live. An amazing live-performance. Amazing.

[timoraymo]

I just love the rawness of it. Two humans just making great music.
