It was more pop-influenced than anything else he had released, but compared to the rather "cold" sounds of "Cold Blooded", Rick taking it back live was really a daring move for 1985 IMO.

"Moonchild" is one of Rick's best songs that doesn't really get mentioned outside of his truest and bluest fans.
