Idea for Live's next album, Just my opinion Options

[PillarOfDavidson]

I'd like to see them re-record (and maybe re-arrange/re-write) Savior for a Day, Paper Flowers or Libra (or maybe even all three) from their Public Affection days and put one or two of them on their next album. Who knows, maybe doing that will inspire them and allow them to start over from a fresh musical perspective.

Some may not like this idea, but they need to do something to reboot the band. Hey, it helps to reboot Windows every now and again... why not Live?

I spoke with Jimmy Lang about this very issue (releasing outtakes or rereleasing old tracks) and he basically said it won't happen because the band just doesn't think it's cool to do something like that. He said he has closets full of stuff that we would all love to have, but the band doesn't want to be "living in the past" and wants to release only new material. CG was apparently the only one who sympathized with the fans and Jimmy on this. It's a neat idea, but I really doubt it's going to happen.

As a Live fan, I would love to purchase a CD of the unreased tracks. I would also like to purchase a CD of all of the songs they have covered as Live like Imagine and others. I think that it would be totally cool. The bootlegs of these songs usually sound like crap.

I also would like to hear an updated version of Savior For A Day.
