Thanks so much for the videos; they are really awesome. Mirror Song is easily my favorite. Is it just me, or does Live look really old and ridiculous when performing All Over You and Lakini's Juice?

I don't know. Their onstage antics mirror their newfound views on music, which are basically to not take anything seriously. When they were still performing concerts filled with great tracks such as Don't Wait and Still Aroused, you wouldn't have caught them dead prancing around to Lakini's Juice or AOY like they are now.

I agree with you. Their onstage personas have totally changed. When I go back and watch a live show from the Samadhi era it's like they aren't even the same band. Not to mention any of the live shows before 97. I think they're a totally different live band than they used as far as performing goes. I miss the way that they used to be but I guess it's normal for a band that has been around this long to change a bit. I mostly just miss the intensity that they used to have.

I personally think the band has improved in their on-stage performance over the years. They seem to have more fun now than they did in the past. Also, their onstage chemistry is amazing. Lakini's Juice is usually the highlight of the show for many fans and the performance of the song is anything but cheesy in my opinion. All Over You is very well done as well in my opinion. To each his own I suppose

I agree with you too. Compared with ten years ago, they play better together, Ed's voice is more consistent and they play most of the songs much better than the studio versions. I had a great time at both Sayreville shows last year and hope to have as good of a time in Lancaster in a few weeks.

The difference is really just in their onstage behavior. They might play AOY or even new stuff like Sofia much better than the album version, but Ed is prancing around like a fool and Taylor is stomping to a ridiculous degree just to get the crowd into it as opposed to actually feeling the music. Pat and CG still have yet to make me embarrassed to be a Live fan, though.

I dunno, you're right...to each his own...but Live is more than about the music. Their music is pretty good but most of it is far from extraordinary in terms of writing. What makes me, and I think a lot of others, fans of this band is the intensity and emotion put into their works, and even though the performance is better these days, those qualities are certainly lacking, just like on SFBM and BOP. It's definitely something to criticize, I think, but I'm glad they're still around, playing shows and headed to the studio later this year for #8.
