No, actually according to Rex and others (Deana Dearry and Derek Sea) who
attended Verlaine's (Band) tour in 2006, he played a killer version on June
17, 2006 at The Roxy in LA,

 "Excellent show.  'Breakin' In My Heart' (encore).  
The band made a big deal a few times about the Roxy's 
endemic 'buzz' (and yeah, the amps were noisy). Tom 
mentioned having played there 20 years before, and 
'the buzz is still here'.  He and Rip then took turns 
turning towards and away from their amps to modulate 
the buzz and maybe turn it into a rhythm to start 
the next song, before giving up."

"I'm new around here, but have been a fan/collector for quite a while. The
show at Slim's [June 17, 2006, S.F.] was amazing!  I brought my recording
gear, but chickened out when I saw the sign that said, 'Any audio/ video
recording gear will be confiscated'.  I did see someone else recording the
show, tried to talk to him afterwards but he denied he was taping and
refused to talk about it.  So, hopefully someone will circulate this show,
as it ended with a searing version of 'Breakin' In My Heart'.". 

Sadly, no recordings have ever surfaced of the 2006 LA and S.F. shows.

I wish Tom would dust off Breakin' In My Heart.

When was the last known performance -- 1982?
