I happen to think its one of the overriding criteria for being a Jovitalk user - an unequivicable love of 'These Days' and a belief that it was the pinnacle in BJ's career, both lyrically and sonically.
There are few things that join us all together but 'These Days' must be one of them on here, alongside the usual disappointment in the live set lists.
I defy anyone to find more than 1-2 songs on any album since These Days that could match the songs on there. Off the top of my head I can think of 'Its My Life', 'Just Older', 'Have a Nice Day', 'Make a Memory', 'Any Other Day' and maybe 'Last Man Standing' at a push. Nothing else matches the intensity, feeling and passion that they had back then.
Its a crime that 'Hey God', 'Aint a Love Song' and 'Something to Believe In' aren't part of the live shows anymore.
