Sweet! can't wait. I was just listening to TC all the way through which haven't done in a little while (usually have my IPOD on shuffle while driving or working) I was just reminded what a completely awesome album is. I hadn't heard Iris in sometime, what a rockin song! where can I find the complete lyrics to it ? I looked it up on "friends of live" and their version on there seems a little short. Other lyric websites had all kinds of different lyrics?

Glad to here the Band is coming to the southland!

...and the armies, the armies I have created...

[Live survives without record-label help

Like other alternative rock survivors, the band Live puts out its own records instead of relying on major labels. The group’s latest, “Live at the Paradiso Amsterdam,” is a CD/DVD combo of a recent concert. Live will perform May 9 at the Silver Legacy Resort Casino.



"The band is playing better than ever. The timing captured the band at a great moment in our career,” said singer Ed Kowalczyk in the band’s biography for “Paradiso.”


Since forming in 1985, Live has sold more than 20 million CDs worldwide. Its first album, 1991’s “Mental Jewelry,” had two MTV hits in “Operation Spirit” and “Pain Lies on the Riverside.”


Its second album, “Throwing Copper” in 1994, was the band’s breakthrough, selling 8 million copies and spawning three hits, “I Alone,” “Selling the Drama” and “Lightning Crashes.” That last song, which covers the cycle from birth to death, has endured on rock radio, and Kowalczyk said in his biography it has new meaning for him.


“As soon as I had my first baby about six years ago, I feel it’s even more important to me now because I’ve been there,” he said. “This song now means something totally deeper to me. That’s what I love about doing this for a living, if you get a good song, you really grow with them and they grow with you. They have their own kind of life and interact with you over the years.”


After “Copper,” the band had two more platinum albums, “Secret Samadhi” and “The Distance To Here,” and it scored radio hits such as “Lakini’s Juice” and “The Dolphin’s Cry.” The band continued to tour and release albums with the same lineup that exists today: Kowalczyk, guitarist Chad Taylor, bassist Patrick Dahlheimer and drummer Chad Gracey.


Along with the live version of its hits, “Paradiso” includes two new studio songs, including the single “Forever.” Kowalczyk said “Forever” is about faith and loyalty.
“I was just wanting to do a song that has that message of holding on,” he said. “All these things move in seasons that feel kind of barren. But you find yourself after that period, coming into a reaping period.”
