Thoughts On The Current State Of Live Options

[Hoodstock]

Just being honest and sharing my current thoughts:

I think the direction Ed has gone with his new music gets worse with every release. To me his solo work is turning into a dumpster fire. I don't care for the acoustic act but I can live with the full band show (although it is not even close to the real act) because he plays some of the old stuff. When Ed comes out with new music I'll try it again and hope that it doesn't suck.

The new Live is alright but I'm really just not into it and have no desire to see them or hear more new music. I will not go to a concert or buy ano th er album. I like the direction they are taking the sound but I just don't care for Shinn. His vocal habits are annoying and there is nothing special about his voice. With him they sound like another generic band.

At some point I hope that the original lineup comes back together to tour with hits and to work on a new album as a team. That would be awesome, but not counting on that happening.

Still enjoy my old concerts and albums, just wish there was more to look forward to from the original four.

I like Shinn's voice. I find I'm still listening to and liking the Turn, and I'm hoping for another album. I liked and bought a few tracks from Ed's last album. Nothing grips me like back in the day, from either camp, but I have some appreciation for each.

I'm wondering what Live's deal is. Three tour dates scheduled for the rest of the year - something like 7, 8 total for 2015? Are there any plans for another album? Are they still a functioning band?
