Why do I not see any information on the song Falling Down in the songs link?
They played it at Red Rocks in 95. Am I blind? Any info on the song? They should bring it back. Great tune!

    Yeah, that is a really cool song, one which I forget about occasionally too.

    Didn't they play another original too that night? What's it called?

    If they played Falling Down that'd be killer, I can't believe they've never done anything more with that song, they probably have in the studio but can't believe they've not played it live.

    Ship song sounded great, shame they messed it up and haven't played it since, as far as I'm aware.

    No info since it's unreleased. But we know from the sleeve of Lost Dogs that it has been recorded. ;)



    I got this on RM a good while ago, apparently the quality of this recording is better than the circulating full show source. This is the full song but the recording is not the complete show.

    I think that the music for "Falling Down" evolved into the Rockfords' song "Distress," in much the same way "Times Of Trouble" was used for "Footsteps."

    Yeah it did. So unfortunate
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”
