I love this deep album cut. They always were so full of joy when they played. Watching Paul Hester play that stand up snare with such gusto breaks my heart knowing he suffered from depression that, eventually, led to suicide. I was lucky enough to see the original lineup twice before then.

I think I only caught them once as the original trio (but I was in the front row and Paul did give me and about 5 others a sloppy, zany, high-five before exiting at the end 🤗 ). Upon finding out his girlfriend was pregnant, Paul left a later tour just 3 days before my college friends and I were scheduled to see them play in Portland, OR. The drummer for Sheryl Crowe (their opening act) had to fill in. I felt so bad when I found out about his suicide, because I never even realized he suffered from depression. Such is often the case, I've learned. 😔 I do remember an MTV interview in which Neil said something about Paul having a lot of "demons" inside him, but it was too cryptic. I wasn't sure what he meant. I was also only 16, so not too savvy about the deep internal struggles so many people grapple with their entire lives. 😥

Knowing Paul's love for Rock history, I'd guess he and the boys (with Hiram and Steve rather than Sid and Anton) had the most fun with James Brown when he came on in '82 or 3.

I had a friend working for Capitol/EMI when C.H. released its first album and when the band first played my town (at a small club), they invited the reps (including my friend) to hang out after the show at the hotel. The band was watching Dave's show with much interest and Paul said, "oh we have to go on this show some day! We'll do Stupid Band Tricks!" - anyway, he got half of his wish!
