The other day I was listening to one of my favorite albums - Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill Acoustic.

That's right, Alanis Morissett re-made her popular album as an acoustic version of the album. It's great. And I'm sure that it was great for sales for her too.

So I started thinking, if Live re-boots with a new lead singer, couldn't this be a good way to tie the new singer into the old Live catalog and legitimize the new Live's effort to play the old songs in concert. The new lead singer could be a part of those songs and "own" them so to speak, if Live came out with an acoustic album of some of the old songs. We never satisfied our need to see MTV Unplugged released. Or maybe a live concert album. Or what if they re-recorded some of the great old unreleased stuff that they made with the new singer. Could they legally do any of that? Sure, Ed would get some sort of royalty for the album sales for the old Live material. But wouldn't that be cool? And then when we have spun the Live unplugged acoustic album with the new lead singer a thousand times, it would be really cool to hear him play it in concert.

I'm just thinking of things.
