This is the best version. Sounds like it was from the Beyond & Back album/cd. Clear harmonies, loud/soft shifts. Well done. That entire 2nd CD in the set is simply great music.

Dave Alvin is playing guitar on this recording, and on this album as a whole. Billy Zoom had left, and Tony Gilkyson had yet to join.

I saw Alvin a few times on tour with X in the mid-80s, iirc. Alvin was **the only** suitable replacement for the greatness of Billy Zoom. I grew to like Tony, and this is a great song in the late opus of the band. I love this song, but I today I find myself searching for live versions with Zoom playing lead.

@redshift96 I just saw Dave perform in Seattle and he frigging brought me to tears. He wrote the song and fucking brought down the house.

The song IS on See... but the Doe-produced demo is on the excellent 2-CD Beyond and Back anthology (also including the much-better version of 'See How We Are').

the album version adds a longer and nicely reworked bridge, but otherwise it's all here, and nice to hear - thanx @JustSomeBot

damn this version rocks, more straightforward. But maybe I love the metallish heavy of the studio recording slightly more just a hair

Have loved this song for some 20 4th's of July! Sad, sweet and not really very patriotic. Then again...

As a non-American, the Fourth of July means fuck all to me. Except this song, which I play every year!
