Hello,
Live was a 90s juggernaut who absolutely exploded in the mid-90s and slowly fell off the radar. Although they never achieved “Throwing Copper” like success again, they still continued to release good music. While I don’t know anything about their 2014 CD “The Turn”, both their proceeding CDs are pretty good. Although if you were to choose just one of those CDs I suggest you pick up “Birds of Pray”. It’s a very solid piece of rock music.
“Throwing Copper”, most people would agree, is their best CD. But I’m also a big fan of their second CD “Mental Jewelry”. They sounded like a young and hungry band determined to make an impact. Highlights from that CD include “Pain Lies On The Riverside”, “Operation Spirit” and “The Beauty of Gray”.
Live was Ed Kowalczyk, Chad Taylor, Patrick Dahlheimer and Chad Gracey. Now Live is Ed Kowalczyk and three nobodies. Some uncharitable person might say the same thing about the first incarnation of the band.
Ed Kowalczyk’s solo CD “Alive” is a pretty good CD. Many people say that Kowalcyk was the person who put life into Live.
