    A band of heavy hitters showing exactly what they are capable of. Tremendous take of a wonderful song. Love Sheila E's look of joy at the 5:09 mark. She really is the low-key hero on this song amongst titans.

      @scottmccullo Amen! The first time I saw him play was at the old Saengerhalle, outside New Braunfels. He was playing solo that night more than 20 years ago. I’ve seen him many more times since… He’s priceless

    John Doe is a deity. For as many cigarettes as John smoked (don't think he does anymore), his voice is remarkably intact. The singing on last year's X album was gorgeous.

    I first saw John at the Pacific Ampetheater in 1986? His band X opened for Oingo Boingo. Man!... what an evening that was!😘

    Great song and cast of musicians! Look at Lloyd Maines kick ass on that steel guitar. He’s such a down to earth guy. Sheila E, Alejandro’s niece, was a great addition to the group. I remember seeing her at the Paramount Theatre for the Por Vida concert in ‘05. She played the drum so fast her hands literally blurred. Those two nights of Por Vida are in my top ten best concerts ever!

    Although commonly associated with his adopted hometown of L.A., John Doe was originally a Baltimoron -- same for Talking Heads' frontman, David Byrne.
    Another notable musician original to Maryland who later relocated elsewhere (although I'm not sure he was a fellow Baltimorean) was Frank Zappa

      Lloyd Maines on the pedal steel. Natalie's dad to some. TX legend to all.

      Eric Heywood played with Alejandro in the past and is quite brilliant himself. Played on classic Son Volt albums for those who like Son Volt.

      The steel pedal guy is Lloyd Maynes, father of Natalie. He’s a legend himself!
