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.

What did Chad T saying about their touring? All I ever heard is that there would be a tour, and so far they're playing a handful of shows in America, Australia, and Europe, and maybe more shows added later on. Sounds like they're sticking to the plan.

I just remember hearing chad put an emphasis on touring and how that is what "makes" the band, or something to that effect. I guess I just envisioned more tour dates. Not big shows or anything, but I figured they would play a lot of smaller venues. I know nothing about the logistics of touring so I dunno.
