Is on VH1 Classic right now.
That Alive speech and how the meaning of the song changed and lifted the curse is incredible.

That is all.

    Yeah...that was a powerful story about alive...the curse was lifted.

    I don't think I will ever grow tired of that song now. After seeing Storytellers, the song took on an entire different meaning to me.

    and after listening again to the tunes from the self titled it actually makes more sense to have Backspacer now. It's just a natural evolution and "deconstruction" from the past full of politics and inner feelings and all that stuff. It's a pity tho that Gone hasn't found its way through the setlists to this day. I think it's a beautiful number and I obviously love the acoustic version as well. I didn't know about this VH1 special and I am loving it thank you very much for bringing it up again!
