The show just flat out rocked. I've
never seen a rock show this good and the boys seemed unusually energetic for playing
their fourth night in a row. You guys can see the setlist and they played their old
songs the usual way, but I'll give my opinion on the new songs for those who haven't
heard them.
Mystery: This absolutely blew me away. This is not a *huge* rocker by any means,
but it reminds me of a great classic mid-tempo rock song. I hadn't heard much about
this, but I was stunned by its quality. This truly sounds like a totally new Live
sound.
Love Shines: This was pretty good, but not as good as Mystery. Ed plays acoustic
guitar on this, and I could see this sounding like a more interesting and energetic
Sweet Release type of song.
Sophia: The one you guys had me so excited about. I was very much disappointed. It's
a good song, but whoever said this one "rocks" is nuts. It is upbeat and
is more rocking than The River, but it isn't rocking at all compared to all of the
other new ones besides The River. I believe the chorus begins with "Sophiaaaa,
I need yaaa" which is not too good in my opinion. Worthy song, but far from
spectacular.
The River: We've all heard it, and from what I heard at the show, the song has no
more promise than before. Still, I think it's good enough.
Show (this is indeed the official title): Stunned. Absolutely stunned. The verses
are so insanely catchy and *different* in the notes that Ed sings, and the chorus
is rocking. This was my favorite new song by a lot, and from just a first listen,
may be my favorite Live song ever.
In a nutshell, the new songs vary from stereotypical HOT A/C to classic, up-tempo
rock but without overbearing guitars. The River was clearly the worst song of the
bunch and the most suited for HOT A/C, and Sophia and Love Shines I think will be
considered by most to be average songs on this album. However, Mystery and Show alone
have me considerably more pumped about this album than I was after I heard Heaven
and Like I Do before Birds of Pray. I think this album will be like BOP-plus, in
that it will have more pop than most would like, but will have a more consistent
sound and a considerably more interesting and creative one at that. |

| Great show as always. I do like GA
venues much better but for a seated venue there was still a lot of energy in the
room. The guys sounded amazing. The guitar sounds seemed even better than usual.
I really enjoyed the new tunes and cannot wait for the album in November. It was
awesome that they played 21 songs. We got to hang out with the guys (except for CT)
after the show and they were as friendly as ever. I especially enjoyed speaking with
Adam. Overall, Awesome show!!!! |

| Show last night was incredible. The
venue was very small & intimate & they could not have sounded any better
than they did. Ed's vocals were flawless & he seemed to be at a really peaceful
place. That shone thru in all aspects of this show. I was so glad to be a part of
that crowd. The energy was great and I wish everything in life was that peaceful
& charming. I am really looking forward to the new album. Ed told the crowd that
the 90's were just a dress rehearsal (or soemthing like that) & that we need
to wait & see what the upcoming years will bring. Can't wait... but it will be
tough to beat Throwing Copper. It dosen't get much better than that. Thanks guys
so much for an uplifting evening. Keep doing what you are doing & I will continue
to be a fan forever. |

| Once again, an amazing show!!!! Great
Venue!!! It was great they played so many songs. I think their "encore"
was just as many songs as their "set list." I was also glad to hear songs
that they normally don't play in concert. It was a great mix and the acoustics were
great. (However, they could always be louder-especially during "White Discussion.)
Their new songs were great also. (Maybe one or two "sleepers".) Can't wait
for their new CD. What I enjoy so much about the band is that they cater to and "respect"
their fans on a personal level. Last night, I think the band had as much fun as the
ticketholders. Great Show! Hope to see them here again soon. |

| This is the second time we've had the
pleasure of seeing the guys since we moved here from Indiana. Again they delivered
a fantastic show! The new songs were polished and Ed seemed to be very into Sophia
and really wanted the crowd to go there with him and enjoy his positive energy. The
first encore was as energetic as the full show and Heaven, Shit Towne and Gray were
well received. We were fortunate to get many great pictures and Ed was gracious enough to visit our
hotel room prior to the show for a couple of pics, thanks again Ed. We have been
diehard fans since Woodstock 94 and will continue to look for Live in our neck of
the woods. Many thanks to Patrick for the aftershow passes and the good conversation.
These guys are truly nice people and fun to hang with. Of course their music gets
better everytime we see them. |
