Favorite Live Memories Options

[WaiterAtCliftons]

Well with the news of Live taking a break, if it's two years or forever, I thought it would be a good time to reflect. What are some of your favorite memories of Live this past 20 years?

My list in no particular order

--First time I saw them in 95 at the Spectrum in Philly. I was 13 my dad had to take me.

--The memory of every place and time I picked up their next new CD

--Meeting the guys backstage and at the after party of the York Fair show on 9/11/04

--Having one of my best friends play "Get Ready" during my Wedding ceremony, and dancing to the piano version of "They Stood up for Love" with my wife for our first dance.

--Listening to "Overcome" and being brought to tears after 9/11



So many other memories throughout the years, but those are probably my top 5.

Like many of you, I've followed this band for a long time so I have tons of them.

Favorite Live Memories (In No Particular Order):

- Seeing the band for the first time on MTV during a live broadcast of Woodstock '94 playing Selling the Drama

- My first Live show. Especially when they played the first song. It was dark, Dam at Otter Creek, and the stage lit up to match up with the drums. Awesome!

- Seeing Live at the State Theater during the S.S. tour. Fun fucking show with awesome friends.

- Getting autographs from both Chad's as they got on the bus after that show.

- Catching a drumstick from Gracey that he tossed from stage.

- Going at midnight to buy every Live album (starting with S.S.) the night it came out from Rock of Ages (I kept all of the reciepts in the album books)

- Walking up to Ed during a free concert in Pontiac when he was walking in the crowd during Michelle Branch

- Being up front for multiple shows and being right in front of Ed

- Hearing the band unexpectedly play Imagine during a concert

- Seeing the band play They Stood Up For Love (in Muskegon) twice in the same concert becasue Ed said they weren't happy with it the first time

- When Ed (in Toledo) called the entire band back onto the stage, after they were already done, because the crowd was so into the ending of Dance With You while he was finishing it on stage

- Getting unexpected backstage passes and meeting the entire band with my wife

- Seeing Live perform on MTV Unplugged
