Song of Two Hundred Fifty-Five Days Ago: Wild Love (from Sheik Yerbouti)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0gkFD5k1sY


There's six new versions of this song on Halloween 77. This particular performance, from the first '78 tour, actually ended with an Adrian Belew guitar solo that Frank left on the cutting room floor. On this tour "Wild Love" always contained an Adrian solo and possibly solos by other band members, depending on the show. From what I've heard they're good versions, but not as epic as the six versions that appear on Halloween 77.

I'll talk more about the Halloween 77 versions of "Wild Love" in my next post. For now, I'll just mention that I've read that this performance (from the final date of the tour, like the version of "Pound for a Brown" I discussed in post #88) originally started with the lines "Many well dressed negroes/And several Caucasians/Are fighting quite a bit." If that's true, Frank apparently wasn't happy with these lyrics and overdubbed different lyrics for the Sheik Yerbouti version.
