I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. And I've always do.

I listened Live in 1994 for the first time. The song was "Operation Spirit"; it was on a tape that a friend gave to me. I loved the song, and I asked who the band was. Of course, I copied blush.gif on my own tape. One year later, I heard "All Over You" on MTV. And that was. I had becomed a fan. guitar.gif In fact, "AOY" is my all time favourite song.

I bought "Throwing Copper" and listened million times. Along with "Secret Samadhi", that was the only album of Live that appeared in our stores. Months later, I get "Mental Jewelry" imported, in a very funny way. Later, an american friend makes me a CD copy of the "Death of a Dictionary" tape. And since that, I've bought any Live album outside my country. "TDTH", in fact, was bought in Germany. Both "V" and "Birds of Pray" in USA, and I get "SFBM" from Europe. I absolutely love the band, and is by far my top favourite of all time.

And, here's the drama: I've never seen them live.

+Live+ was never here and I couldn't travel to Brazil (the nearest place) when they played there. I've seen hundreds of videos of their live performances and I know, by sure, that they rocks. I positively know that the chances of +Live+ playing in Buenos Aires are less than zero. They weren't here at the top of their popularity, which by the way never was very big here (beside of me, of course) smile.gif and they are not going to come now.

But I'll never lose my hope. And still have this great page to visit wink.gif

Greetings from Buenos Aires, and, once again, please excuse me about my poor english.

Scar.

Your poor English is charming, and your thoughts and feelings are quite clear. I hope you get to see them some day. I've been a fan forever, and just saw them for the first time two weeks ago. They surpassed my high expectations.

I've always been fascinated by Argentina and South America in general. I hope to visit and travel there some day.

WELCOME!

I really know the feeling. I live far too, in Cyprus, a small island in the Mediterranean sea. I never hoped that Live would play here (perhaps they do not even know whether there is such a place on earth) and my only hope lies with visitng The Netherlands or any other European country where Live is popular and enjoy the band in a concert. At least Live still makes great music and i am happy about that.

Hola Scar! hi.gif

Welcome and enjoy the boards.
I realllllly hope the band will visit Argentina some day soon for some concerts, just as the other countries they tend to 'forget'.
I can't complain, living in Holland, this seems to be their 2nd homecountry, but I do feel every Live fan should have at least one chance in their life to see them play live on his/her home soil.
