If this really is the end of LIVE, What are your feelings? Options

[SJN1279]

If these weekend shows end up being the end of Live's run as a band, what will your feelings be? I am really excited that Friday will be my 20th show. I also think its cool that it will also be my 5th Atlantic City show and I think it is a great place for the band to go out in the US. However, I also feel the band has more to offer musically and don't think any band could replace them for me(concert or CD wise). If the band does decide to part ways, it will leave a great void musically in my life, one that I don't imagine ever being filled again. I do hope the rumored DVD filming does happen this Friday, because it would be fitting end for the band to be able to share their final public performance with the world.

Now I am not saying for sure that Live is done as a band, but it looks like their long tour and run with Epic has come to an end. Many bands don't come back in the same form after a long hiatus, but hopefully this won't be the case with Live. I just hope people try their best to find their way to a concert this weekend, because if it is the end and you miss it when you could have made it, there will be a lot of regret in Liveland.

Lien: there are a lot of people here who don't like that Live started to make softer and "lighter" music and less complicated sounding lyrics with easier words (but still the same messages in it I think).
SJN1279 is one of the people who doesn't like the softer Live.

These people want Live to take a long break (long hiatus) and them to return with the kind of music they made in the early 90's.
And otherwise they want Live to quit.

I know that, but SJN1279 is one of the few "negative" ones here that actually had some good arguments for not liking it that much anymore. He's a fan who looked forward to the new album and took the time and effort to really listen to it, before he decided that it wasn't what he's looking for anymore. That's alot more than you can say about others on this board...
Imo, he had made some good points here before and therefore I tend to take what he says more seriously.

hope they're coming to the Netherlands (or Belgium) too!!!!!
I really don't think they will quit, and if they do than this is the first thing I hear about it...

Hey another Belgian! Great!! (we are highly outnumbered here...) Welcome aboard!

I never said that I didn't like the softer Live. I'm a huge fan of SFBM and I felt if Epic managed the album correctly, The River and and especially Mystery would have been solid hits for the band. I do not want Live to break up at all. I'm a fan of all of their work and no one comes close to matching them in a concert setting for me.

I do think the band needs a brief hiatus to recharge and figure their direction though. I'd love for them to play a few shows late 2007 after they take nearly a year to refocus. That is my hope of hopes.
