Walking out on Love

WALKING OUT ON LOVE

One of their earliest tracks by the Breakaways is also one of the best: "Walking out on Love" was part of the Nerves' live show but had never been recorded by that band.

The only record on YouTube by the Breakaways is "Walking out on Love"; this song was often performed in the Nerves' live shows but had never been recorded by them. You can hear the song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9sYvy4G3NA . Green Day performed "Walking out on Love" as their last encore following the final performance of their musical American Idiot on Broadway; that version is also available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAgKwA7-GLI&feature=related .

Basically dropping everything and pushing a band to the top of the heap on the UARA/UARB stack has happened only one other time among these posts, and it was quite awhile ago: the UARB for April 2010, the Breakaways. The Breakaways did make one bonafide studio recording of "Walking out on Love", a wonderful song that had been part of the Nerves live set for years, though they had never gotten around to making a studio recording of it. Otherwise, just about everything they did was rehearsals and live shows, and no one ever thought that any of that material had survived.
