Wanted Wednesday ~ Pittsburgh 1995

Please rise, for the singing of our national anthem...

Yes, yes, I've said it before, I'm a sucker, a total sucker, for the long intros. And at 3:40, this really feeds my need. By the time the opening bars of the actual song come through, I'm spent.

The mix is great, though Richie's mic is a bit louder than normal (which is in no way a detriment to the performance by the way).

The "Let's Ride" always gets me right in the gut, and Richie doesn't disappoint here. The solo is strong, and Tico is phenominal (though when isn't he?)

And, thanks to hAnD90, we can see a video of (some of) this amazing performance. This YouTuber cut a couple parts of the video with the actual Wanted video. He did a great job with that, and don't worry, you get to see most of the performance.

The last few seconds, when they're closing out the song are especially lovely -- can you use "lovely" to describe that?
