I really do hope it's just the audio.

I really do hope it's just the audio.

If you are a fan of V, BOP and SFBM you will probably not like the new music. If instead you enjoy live from the TC / SS era the new music rivals much of what came off these two albums. It is rock music, with driving bass lines and guitar riffs. I saw two of the shows last week and yes the audio is not great on some of those recordings but guess what? The new music is. This train is boarding so it is time to get on or just go away and focus on Ed's "music".

Considering I've been a fan since 1992, I can say without a doubt that this sounds nothing like Live from the TC / SS era.

Go back and listen to live performances from that era, even the shitty crowd recordings. You could actually tell there was music being performed.

Hopefully, with a good producer, these can sound pretty decent on the finished album. I'll be as happy as anyone else here if this album is awesome. They've had more than enough time to make it the best album since the 90s. Let's see if they can actually do it...

Hello everyone! I have been reading and reading posts for years and just had to finally throw my two cents in…FINALLY!

I think this is a great way for the LIVE community to stay in touch, even with grievances and certainly with praises. The topic of LIVE has just been bothering me for quite some time, and I just felt that I needed to vent, put my words out here and sit back. So, I apologize in advance if I come off as being crude in my comments.

So overall, I agree that this is in fact a new approach for CC&P (original members). For me personally, I think Chris sounds great, and while this is certainly not the LIVE from the 90’s, I understand that it will never be again. Ed is certainly in the past, and I do wish him luck. No hard feelings. With that said, it doesn’t mean that I agree or like their current directions, or think that the new material is great! (Just my opinion)

Historically, I think LIVE has had the tendency to surprise people when it came to recordings and especially with their live shows. I was actually one of the few to dig subtle (not all) things that Railo was doing back in the day, and thought Adam added some flavor as well. Their ‘core’ albums alone stood out with good sonics and passion that was developed in both their instruments and presence on stage. But now…I just don’t find anything exciting out of their songs…so far. Perhaps they will sound a bit different with dubs and adds in the recordings, but this has yet to be seen. Granted the audience recordings aren’t great, I just cant find anything good out of any of the songs. Honestly, I find them to be ‘safe’ songs, and after such a long ‘break’ that they had as being LIVE, I would think they would have taken off the gloves and kicked some a$$ with a much more aggressive approach. Perhaps they can surprise me when the album/CD comes out, so for that matter, I think there could be some possibilities. I’m just doubtful. I think LIVE’s better days have come and gone.

Taking a snap shot of where the guys CURRENTLY appear to be in their lives (as entrepreneurs, producers, family men, etc.), I don’t think LIVE is that important any more. I certainly don’t take that away from them. I think it’s great that they are getting involved in other areas of business and so forth. LIVE has always been something that they have had, so it’s just so easy to just come back and go as they please. But, they definitely don’t appear to be hungry anymore!

I understand that ‘ROCK’ music has changed over the years. Quite frankly (based on the ‘new’ music that I have heard thus far), I think they could have done the same level/type of stuff with Ed. I don’t hear anything ‘rocking’ (from a traditional sense) from that particular selection (I believe 5 songs so far???). But then again, the other half of the album could be fantastic. ??? To me, I think CC&P should have stuck with The Gracious Few…period, end of story!!! Definitely much more excitement in their recordings, and their live shows really ROCKED! There was much more passion, and they seemed much more driven. They could go from hard, to soft, to mellow to aggressive. Perhaps this was based on their frustration and anger from the hiatus? I don’t know. But I liked The Gracious Few much more! Again, I think Chris Shinn is a good singer. I dig his other musical ventures and think that he adds more ‘grit’ to the LIVE songs, as a 90’s version of Ed had done. BUT…how much longer can you carry on singing lyrics that were created and performed from someone else? Yes, I know bands break-up all the time… BUT in this particular case, I just think the steam is gone and the LIVE that I have known is but a memory.
