("9lives") |
I was at Live's performance in support
to Bon Jovi in Dublin (Ireland, not Ohio! last night. I was offered tickets
to go to BJ a few days ago and turned them down but when I heard yesterday morning
that Live were supporting, I re-snapped them up!
A bit of history on Live in Ireland - they don't have one. It was their first
visit (acknowledged by Ed on stage) and they are one of those bands who would only
be recognised via their brief MTV Europe success in the mid-ninties. I loved
the "Throwing Copper" singles but only started buying their albums in 1999.
They came on stage about 6.50 (BJ came on at 8pm) and played about 40 mins. The
set list included the 3 singles from "Throwing Copper", 'Dolphins Cry'
and a few songs from "BoP" - 'Runaway', 'Heaven' and I'll assume they played
'Like I Do' and 'Lighthouse' as they have been in their other setlists - my album
hasn't arrived from cdwow.ie yet! Sorry I don't have a complete setlist but
I'm not great on song titles (the curse of minidisc!
Clearly there were Live fans in the audience, people like me who came mainly to see
them. When Live came on stage there must was a good few thousand already congregtated
and a small percentage of them were familiar with the music. They received
warm applause after each song but by the end, they had everybody dancing along, hands
in the air - an amazing reaction considering that few would have known the songs
(although there must have been some recognition of "Lightning Crashes"
such was the enthusiastic reaction to it).
I'd love to see them in a small venue (this outdoor venue holds 35,000 or so
I'd say). Hopefully Ed will keep his promise, and they will be back |
