Big Tour Announcement Friday May 18th!, Live/CC/CS (Some Dates Already Announced) Options

[SJN1279]

Excerpt from interview with Collective Soul band member:

Turpin: Starting in July through September, we’ll be pretty rigorous, four to five nights a week touring with Counting Crows and Live, a multi-band evening. We’ve got two more days in studio, and by the end will have 11 songs, with a new Collective Soul record slated for release in early August.

Yeah, I agree. I saw a few Live/CC shows and every time CC sucked.

[tangled]

For the record (if there is one) i've seen Bruce Springsteen, the best live performer ever, forget not only lyrics but once i even saw him forget how to begin a song. It was hilarious - Nils had to show him the opening guitar part for a song that Bruce wrote before Nils was even IN the band. And no one said "Oh he sucks now!"

And i've seen Eddie K blow a few lyrics, too. (He scolded me for laughing at him once.)
It happens.

That said, Counting Crows is an entirely other kind of show. The energy is wholly different than Live. Musically they're incredible. i haven't seen them since JazzFest 2002 or 2003, but i enjoyed them.

I think that's why a lot of people say they suck because its not the kind of show they are used to. Not every show is going to be as high energy as Live or some other bands out there but that doesn't mean the band has no talent. I agree that they are incredible musically and I have always enjoyed seeing them live and look forward to doing so again.
