      @@anthonytaylor7928 Just my opinion. When the great bands from that era are discussed they're often overlooked. I realize they have some diehards out there that this doesn't apply to, I'm one of them. I just don't believe they get their due.

    I've loved this song ever since it first came out but this is the first time I've heard a live version. To me one mark of a really great band is that they're just as good (or better) live as they are on their records. War is one of those really great bands. This is an awesome performance!
