Questions about The Turn Options

[RockNRoll]

Hey all - newbie here. Hope you're all well. I've been a Live fan to one degree or another since Throwing Copper but recently I've been revisiting their music - specifically albums I had previously ignored like Birds of Pray and V. (V in particular has some stuff I like so far).

I've never heard The Turn with Chris Shinn, but it's not on Spotify (in Canada, at least), the CD is not available via Live's official store or Amazon. I recall when Shinn was let go, they barely mentioned or even thanked him. Has the album been erased from history?

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers.

When the band reunited in 2017, it seems clear that everything surrounding Shinn was officially removed like it never happened.

Definitely listen to The Turn, and also listen to The Gracious Few. Chad Chad and Pat's band with Kevin Martin, lead singer of Candlebox.

You might want to cautiously listen to Ed Kowalczyk's second solo album, the Flood and the Mercy.

Also listen to the Throwing Copper B-sides on Spotify - Hold Me up, Susquehanna, We Deal in the Dreams.

Maybe search for the track Radiant Sea.

The Gracious Few is an album I'd definitely check out. People either love or hate The Turn. Feels more like a side project than an actual Live album.

I'd say check out The Garden and Alive from Ed before totally being disappointed with The Flood and the Mercy.

The Radiant Sea album is something I'd recommend picking it up. It's still on the website. If you want the most recent stuff It's Local 717.

On the contrary, there are those of us who consider The Turn to be the only release from anyone in the band that feels like a proper Live album this side of 2000. And that's because it is. Nothing Ed has done comes close to it.

The Gracious Few is also well worth tracking down. Belting record, that.
