Your Desires For Next Year (2019), Wish Away Here... Options

[Voodoo Lady]

Okay, I’m kind of bored. Let’s get some discussion going. What are your hopes and desires in 2019 from Līve? What do you want and wish for when it comes to the anniversary release of Throwing Copper? What is the ideal touring situation for you? -And do you want a varied setlist or would you rather them play Throwing Cooper in its entirety? Do you still want Robin Diaz? Zak Loy? Meet and Greets?

If you were in charge... the Līve world is your oyster (but realistically speaking)... Go!

Bruce has been known to perform 2.5-3 hour shows. Your list isn't realistic with 25+ songs in a setlist for Live in 2019.

I did ask for “realistic” desires. And while I wouldn’t expect Līve to play 26 songs, more likely I expect 16-18 for a headlining show. (Hopefully 18) But can you please explain why they couldn’t play 25+ in 2019? If Bruce can at his age, why couldn’t it be realistic for Līve? Thank you.

Stamina.

Sure, you can throw a few names into the pot and state, "this act performs x-amount of songs and performs for x-amount of hours." But, every musician is built differently. Live wouldn't be able to perform a 25+ song set nightly and expect to continue touring like that for any amount of time. Normal fatigue would surely put an end to that. It is not realistic to ask or expect that from them, or many other acts.

I've discussed this topic with quite a few multi-platinum vocalists. Not one of them said they would put their vocals through that type of longevity abuse.

Voodoo Lady, you like Tesla. This year Tesla have been averaging opening sets of 8 songs, and headlining sets with roughly 15. Now, ask yourself the same question you asked me about Live, but insert Tesla/Jeff Keith instead: If Bruce can do it, would Tesla be able to sustain a 25 song set, 5 days per week for 2 months? How would Jeff Keith's vocals hold up?
