I Alone
Turn My Head
Forever
Lakini's Juice
The Distance

They Stood Up For Love

This was such a great show, I've seen the band about 30 times now, and this was for sure one of the best I have seen in a couple of years now. The guys were SO into it and having such a great time on stage. They seemed happy to be on stage, and weren't just going through the motions. They definintely are giving it their all for these last 4 shows. Oh! And Gracey must have finally put his foot down and said NO to the plexiglass, because there was none around him.

There was a bit of drama before Live took the stage. Busta Rhymes was scheduled to play before Live at 7pm on the main stage. He showed up late, and came on at 8 (when Live were supposed to start on the second stage) and he played for a half hour. The crowd were chanting "SHUT BUSTA DOWN" and "LIVE LIVE LIVE" A very enthusiastic crowd, it was awesome! Judging from Chad T's Twitter - they weren't very pleased with Busta. And then at 9:30 STYX came on the main stage and started to play during Live's encore. Ed gave them the finger and said something like "I dont know what they're playing over there, but I'm pretty sure this next song will be better!" It was hilarious. Live were supposed to play from 8:00 to 9:30, but they ended up playing from about 8:30 to 9:45. So they lost about 15 minutes.

Hold Me Up was AWESOOOME! WOW I'm so glad I got to see it. THIS is Live. And The Distance has never sounded better in my oppinion, some awesome guitar solos in there.

I also recorded Top, I'll post it on YouTube soon for you guys to see.

Anyway, great show, great crowd, a great was to end this Live era. I can't wait to see what they come back with in a couple of years.

Oh, and no group hug, but they all came to the front and took a bow, as usual. There was lots of love on stage, thats for sure.
