Come A Little Bit Closer has always been one of my favorites. Heroes is one also one of my favorite albums. You know Rolling Stone loved the album: "stacked up as a pleasant album", and singled out "Prove Your Love" as "exquisitely pretty" and "Come a Little Bit Closer" as "a gorgeous tune reminiscent of the Beach Boys"
While others hated the use of a string synthesizer and "half assed horns."
I love that they opened with Bob's psychedelic "Coming Home" on that tour. Chris only did one song from the new album then "Bad Loser" I suppose her sneaking in parts of Come A Little Bit Closer was her idea if Welch could not do the same slide guitar as Weston.
