Album Analysis, Throwing Copper Options

[Hoodstock]

Since Live is wrapping up and the board members are attacking each other, I thought it would be a good idea to provide a place to discuss Live's work. And a good place to start with their work is Throwing Copper.

The Idea - Analyze the album (in this case Throwing Copper) song by song, stating whatever you want or whatever comes to mind about each song. Go into as much or as little detail as you want and then summarize your overall thoughts on the album at the end. Just speak your mind openly. If there is a lot of feedback, we can do it again with another album at a later time.

You can copy and paste the following to make it easy if you want:

1. The Dam At Otter Creek

2. Selling The Drama

3. I Alone

4. Iris

5. Lightning Crashes

6. Top

7. All Over You

8. Shit Towne

9. T.B.D.

10. Stage

11. Waitress

12. Pillar of Davidson

13. White, Discussion

14. Hidden Track (Horse)

Overall Summary:

1. The Dam At Otter Creek
I know you gonna think I'm a jerk when I say this: When I got TC from a friend he told me that this was a great cd, but I have to skip the first song...and I still do it 9 out of 10 times, so this is one of the Live songs I have heard the least.....sorry

2. Selling The Drama
My first meeting with Live. The second I heard this song I was saying to my friend: wow who is this. When I play Live for my friends, this is the song they have heard. Still a fave.

3. I Alone
Oh no we took it back to far, don't know how many times I have sang those words .Even my daugther at 9 knows them. A classic at concerts. And one of my top 5 Live songs.

4. Iris
Great song

5. Lightning Crashes
What can man said. Dont care if this has been `overplayed` a billion times, this is so great. Specially the begining with only the guitar and Ed.


6. Top
Great song

7. All Over You
Another killer. Like Badman said, a great opener. Norway went when they played it at the last tour.

8. Shit Towne
Not one of my biggest fave, but I have learned to live with it. It's good.

9. T.B.D.
A strange little song. But I like it.

10. Stage
Would have loved to hear this one played live.

11. Waitress
Ohhh.... this is one of my all time top 5 Live songs. Dont know if it's the lyric, the Roger Withaker whisthling or the mayhem guitars before the wisthling that does it. A shame that they don't played it live any more.

12. Pillar of Davidson
I think this is a verry underated Live song. Maybe it's slow in the begining, but that makes the end so mutch better. What a great chorus when Ed `finnaly` comes to it. And like Badman said; the background sinnging at the end makes a great song even greater.

13. White, Discussion
A great song. But I'm not one of them that have WD on my top 5, not even my top 10.

14. Hidden Track (Horse)
Is their any thing to say. I just

Overall Summary:
What a album. Not a bad song. Some betther than others.A album I still playe at least a coupple of times a month. When I first got it I thought Selling the Drama was so great. I played the album over and over again, but didn't get it. But I was thinking could they make a great song like Selling the Drama, they had to be good. And after some months I just said: wow heres another great song, and heres another one,and one more. And after that I have been around.
