Hi everyone, i was just listening to the live version and the album version for maby the millionth time and i was wondering, is there a story or reason behind the live performance, why did they decide to do it? I remember something about a fan talking to them about it and that that was the reason they did it live. Anyway I would really appreciate it if someone would enlighten me regarding this :D Cheers

A Blues player died and they decided to honor him.I don't remember his name but that's why they did it.

I thought it was for John Lee Hooker, but I might be mistaken.

Interesting, he wrote Boom Boom, which they covered in '96. Let's hope Chuck Berry dies during the Black Ice tour then!
