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 very much agree and hope for the miracle of reunitement also. But even with the old albums, I am SO BORED right now. I wish they'd release a box set or something. Go all the way back to Public Affection on it and give us some clean copies of Cheetah & Hold Me Up. Something, anything before I die of this boredom.
