My last memory of a Live concert... What's yours? Options

[frogman31680]

I went to a lot of the shows in Pittsburgh and I saw the acoustic show that they did with Janes Addiction.

I believe it was then that Live started to crumble to me.

Ed appeared to be nearly drunk for the performance and was drinking throughout the show. About five songs in Ed was doing Overcome by himself and someone (not sure if it was a guitar tech or Chad himself) made a mistake and bumped their guitar. It made a quick sound and was quickly muted. Mid vocals, Ed swings around and makes and angry gesture at Chad then turns back to the crowd to continue singing. Chad then threw his guitar down on the couch and left the stage.

This sadly, was my last memory of a Live concert.

Ed was not the same frontman that I had remembered during that show. He had a different feel about him. Don't know if it was self righteousness or not, but it is sad that this is how I have remembered him.

What was your last memory of Live?

I went to my one and only LIVE show in Melbourne in 2006 at the Palais. I was so excited to be there, seeing them for real, 4 rows back from the front (only bought tickets last minute as I didn't realise they were coming to Aust) that it didn't really worry me that they were a bit rough around the edges. Quite a few tech mishaps, Ed was having trouble with his voice and obviously knocking back the grog and not a whole lot of bonding going on between them all. CT and CG where fab in their own rights, Ed did get his shirt off and I appreciated that, Patrick was lost in his own little world and the crowd loved it. I was amazed to realise they had such a loyal, strong following...something that was unknown to me at the time as I had not long before worked out who LIVE were even though I had loved their music for a long time.
