The Fillmore, Denver, October 7th Options

[TopHook]

Just looking to see if anyone can provide info on how the shows are going and the estimated playing times with Emerson Hart-CS- Live. My son, who I got hooked on Live and is now a huge fan, just turned 16 and I'm thrilled to be taking him to Live at the Fillmore. Their show last year here in Denver was incredible and he's gonna be floored. Anyway, the show starts at 7:30 and I'm just trying to see if anyone has an idea about how long Emerson and CS will play and an estimate of when Live might come on.

Thanks!

i had always kind of like CS, i thought Dosage was a good CD so i was fairly pumped that they were opening for LIVE as i have never seen CS in concert. i decided to check out the CS board prior to the shows i went to and what a mistake. the people over there spew such hatred for LIVE that it really appears to me to be flat out jealousy. i mean you can knock LIVE about some things but their onstage performance is not one of them and they take that element to the 'nth degree...case in point at dallas: we had 6th row center stage tix and chose to skip over the CS show we caught in houston becuz it left little to be desired (ed roland from CS actually executed "spirit fingers" like a jr. high cheerleader to engage the crowd into frenzy) and my girlfriend and i could not stomach that again, we actually had another group of friends wait in anticipation at the dallas show for the ever so embarrassing line of ("you just saw collective soul, you know you f*cking liked it, now go tell your friends!)

as we made our way to the seats we were seated next to some CS fans that i asked how the show was and they looked at me like i was an idiot and raved how much energy and how great it was and they wondered why in the world we missed it. i mentioned we saw them the night before in houston and just didn't make it back it town in time to catch CS and that we were mainly there to see LIVE. the gentleman next to me in his early fourties informed me no way LIVE was gonna top what CS just did and that he had heard LIVE put on a boring show anyway...i asked where he had heard that and his generic answer was that everyone knew that was the case. as LIVE came on and had stepped their game up over the houston show in my opinion (IRIS and Operation Spirit!!!) the gentleman next to me was genuinely pissed off that so many people were rocking to LIVE and kept voicing that it wasn't fair that CS didn't get to play as loud as LIVE did and if they did all the people moving and shaking now would have done so and even more for CS. as it became more evident that LIVE was rocking this stage this guy's attitude went straight down the toilet to the point that our friendly conversation we had prior to the show turned to down right rude as he and his crew left after the show.

i can say this, i will never support CS or speak positive about their material or live shows due to their fanbase and CS's product on stage...their new single "hollywood" doesn't help either

I couldn't have said it better myself, and believe me I have tried!

I've said they suck multiple times.

How about this version - "Hey, Collective Soul "
