What Would Make the Perfect Live Album Options

[Soxwsc]

If Album # 8 was just around the corner, and it was up to you to make it the perfect Live album which everyone would love and be blown away by, including all the longtime Live fans, casual fans, the average music fans, and all the critics, what would the album be like? Try not to say what it shouln't be like, but instead what it should be like. And if you had to predict, when do you think Ed, or the entire band, will start writing new material for #8. Right away? In the winter? In a couple years? Discuss...

I think this is what needs to happen:

Ed's wife and children need to die in a tragic plane crash.
Someone else in the band needs to have the mother diagnosed with alzheimers.
Another member of the band needs to find his wife cheating on him with his brother.

In a couple years, in the aftermath of these events, they should come back together and start writing music using the band as both a vehicle to express the disappointment with recent events and as a way of improving their lives.

This would result in an album that expressed both negative and positive emotions, as opposed to the recent absurdly happiness present in their work. Life isn't always perfect. They need to get back to expressing a wide variety of emotions, which would make their work much more worthwhile. I rarely feel the need to sit down and listen to completely upbeat positive music. What does that do? I don't go to art for one feeling at a time. I much prefer a variety of moods and tones and thoughts.

I hope they all go through hell in the next couple years. Then I hope they use music to express the hell they've lived through, and to try to get out of it. The negativity would be meant to express what they've experienced. The positivity would be meant to get themselves back on track.
