As mustang perusers know, to the best of anyone's knowledge, the song was only perfomed live once (at The Agora in Dallas on 9/19/92).

I've never seen of a recording from this date on someone's bootleg list, but Chris Lawrence encouragingly writes that a "private video source exists."

In my view, "On The Strip" is sort of a sleeper track on Dirty to the extent that it tends to not grab the listener's attention right away like some of the others.

But I've found that over time, "On The Strip" has aged really well, moreso even than some of my inaugural favorites from way back when. The texture of the guitars in the verses, the stunning extended outro, and the distinct lack of any particularly irritating elements make for an excellent listening experience to this day.
