This song is still a great song, a real classic, and a world away from some of the current stuff.
They must realise this when playing it..''why can't we write something like this anymore?!''.
For Richie, as a guitar player, it is still interesting to play and has room for little improvisations here and there, as well as fun backing vocals and room for an extra solo and some crowd participation. Richie comes alive on a track like this, unlike something like 'Make A Memory', although still a decent track, is very much a 'JBJ track' and is nowhere near as interesting to play live.

JBJ - I believe
"Sambora's face is a mask of joyous disbelief, as if previously unaware of his ability to play the instrument at all. Reaching the last fistful of notes, he does a fair impression of a man who is actually ejaculating into his jet black flares."
