[Audio] Live 1998-07-15 Studio Demos Options

[dangum]

Here is an unheard tape of Live performing some early versions of tracks that were to appear on The Distance to Here.

Both FLAC and MP3 versions are available.

I'm posting this in the Live Central forum so that it maximizes visibility. After a few weeks it will be moved to the Multimedia forum

Nice one Ridley, that artwork is great.

Nice one Ridley, that artwork is great.

It was nothing! I just sepia'd and edited the TDC single art as I thought the empty room fit the vibe of these early demos.

Thanks to everyone involved in getting this audio shared, hopefully we'll get even more goodies from this era as we head towards the 25th anniversary of the album

Btw, has anyone in the band confirmed yet that they intend to do 25th anniversary editions of Secret Samadhi in 2022 and TDTH in 2024?

With Live's forward planning it will probably be 2023 before we hear about SS

If there's one thing certain about Līve it's that they are the 180 degree opposite of a band like the Smashing Pumpkins/Billy Corgan. Fans of that band drown in b-sides, rarities, re-masters, c-sides, d-sides, live performances, and covers.

It took Līve two decades to release a single song that for years fans had been clamoring for. And by the time they did many of the fans that actually gave a shit had mostly stopped giving a shit.

But hey, every band has its "process". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And then they didn't play that song in concert during their tour..

I hate to admit this, but the band does the absolute minimum to still be considered a "band".

Have been essentially radio silent the last few months while almost every other band has tried to do SOMETHING for their fans.
