Phil Collins – Inside Out
An evening pause: Performed live 1990.

Charles Laughton – The Gettysburg Address
An evening pause: A scene from the 1935 film, Ruggles of Red Gap. In the film he plays a British butler who has been won by a rich western family in a poker game. He comes to America, and is infected by its freedom.
I posted this back in 2011, on the anniversary of Lincoln’s first presentation. Time to play it again, since so many Americans today — like the cowboys in the movie — don’t have a clue what Lincoln said.
Enjoy your weekends!

The Warning – Enter Sandman
In 2017 I posted an evening pause of this band playing this same song, when Daniela (on guitar) was 14 years old, Paulina (on drums) was 12 years old, and Alejandra (on bass guitar) was 9 yrs old. This version is from their 2025 tour in Mexico (where they are from). To put it mildly, they are a bit older.

Ed Kowalczyk – Heaven
An evening pause: Chorus:
Take back your evidence
It has no power to deceive
I`ll believe it when I see it for myself
I don`t need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughters, and I believe.
I don`t need no proof when it comes to God and truth
