"Island in the Sun" is truly a cross-generational hit enjoyed by a wide audience, but the studio recording is far superior than this live performance. I believe the song was used in the soundtrack to an episode of Smallville - for all the Superman fans (myself included).
Perhaps it was superior–but the music I post every week is live.
