It was played a few times on that final tour, but there’s one date which was bootlegged and widely circulated (there are actually two live recordings that I’m aware of).

This was one of three songs which was meant to be part of their final album before the band quit after tracking a few tunes in the studio. This tune was written by Robert Sledge (here’s a video of him performing it with his post BF5 band International Orange: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOEcGvmslhM).

The other tracks, “Amelia Bright” and “The Secret Life of Morgan Davis” were recorded and released by Darren Jessee’s musical alter ego Hotel Lights and Folds as a b-side in 2001 as part of the “Rockin’ the Suburbs” release cycle.
