I cannot even begin to understand why they choose to spend 10 minutes doing that versus playing another new song and a deep track. Totally inexplicable.

I know, I watched the whole thing. An extended version of The Distance should not be a top priority of the setlist either. It’s not one of their best songs, not a deep track because they’ve played it on several ECCP and Ed solo tours, and it’s not a hit to excite the casual fans. Makes no sense to take up 7 minutes of limited time to dedicate to the distance. They really should be playing a deep track or new song or both during that same time period.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of The Distance but not the 7 minute version that prohibits time for other songs that I much rather hear.

Agreed. Like, Hold Me Up being 3 minutes. Then they could have played that new song they leaked on Instagram.

I think Hold Me Up will be performed next year for the 25th.

Even better would be... release the damn thing already.

If the studio version doesn’t show up in 2019, I give up hope.

I think we need to start a petition, Chad T was really helpfull last time we all wrote a letter together lol.gif

I'm sure this is sarcasm, but can you tell me about the story behind the letter?

Haha, no sorry, not sarcasm. I meant the thing Wam wrote. Litterally helpfull as Chad really admired our effort and shared a lot of never heard details.

Very interesting read. A lot of explanation about unreleased songs, things going on in the band and the record company driving them mad. Chad also wrote that pre-V, Ed wrote some of his best work to date but it never made an album.

It was going to be part of a book about LIVE’s history. I guess quite a few things changed by now but still hoping for that book someday!
