I've been meaning to upload this baby for a while and seeing lovedevine's other thread reminded me so cheers

Can't believe it's been over 12 years since I first saw +Live+ back in 1997. This bootleg was recorded at Rod Laver Arena (known back then as simply Melbourne Park) and broadcast by Triple J (can you believe they ever played our dorky lads?).

This is one of the best quality recordings from the Secret Samadhi era and some of these stellar performances were used for as b-sides for future singles.

Enjoy!

haha that's awesome, never seen those pics Dan, or those Ed blogs .. now thats the kind of Ed talk that is cool, "Eddie K" kinda scares me, Ed makes sense here

Also .. wtf, Live were on Hey Hey its Saturday? .. that's pretty far out, and they played Freaks? Daryl Summers and his knitted jumpers must have had a heart attack over that .. god I hated that show with a passion. Is Red Symons dead yet?

Here are the rest of Ed's entries from the Secret Samadhi tour

Not much coz it was soooo long ago,but i remember them doing Stage coz it was my fav song on TC at the time. It was packed!!!! i've never met anyone who went to POW or Alternative Nation- That gig i dont remember at all probably coz i was a wee bit intoxicated
When i met Chad Taylor and told him that i gone to both gigs, he said he'd never met anyone who had gone to those shows !!!!!

I've read a couple reviews of Alternative Nation and apparently it was a mud fest. The crowd was throwing fist fulls of mud on stage and Ed wasn't very happy about that. haha. Thanks for sharing your experience, it would have been awesome to see Live play in such a small venue, especially when they were tearing up the stage back then...

I believe TripleJ radio also recorded Live on their 1995 tour. But unfortunately I've never been able to obtain a copy. Ah well.
