Haha, I was at the next night's show (same venue). Friends at school told me they'd covered "Midnight Blue," but I didn't believe them. All we got was the Velvets' "After Hours."

We liked it. Odd juxtaposition, for sure, but a great song. https://t.co/6AXQ4uDQXs— Mike Mills (@m_millsey) November 3, 2017

Ha! I saw them do that on the Document tour. Radio City Music Hall. They also sprinkled in a bit of Heartbreak Beat by Psychedelic Furs which was big back then.

I guess I never thought of him as having very distinctive vocal phrasing but the whole time I was realizing that he really does
you can tell he doesn't have quite the oomph or range but he seems to be able to work around it pretty well

*cough cough* Sam Cooke *cough*
the titular refrain is terrible, but otherwise this is about what I would expect a latter day Steve Perry song to sound like
