I loved GYOW on the Mirage tour because Stevie really stole the show by wailing the end "AHHHHHH YOU CAN CALL IT UNDER, THE LONELY, AH THE LONELY, THE LONELY DAYYYYYYYYY..."
Mirage GYOW was perfection, raw emotion - Lindsey's awesome "BABY I'd GIVE YOU MY WORLD" and "OPEN UP", Stevie's Woah's and ahh's, and Christine's subtle lyrical foundation in the background were just incredible together. I always hated the way Billy sang that song. Rick's playing was technically fine, but I found the last solo in particular to be uninspired and boring. It was too anthem-like...which is fine for some bands and some songs, but not an emotionally charged song like GYOW.
