Found a collection of videos from the Ed [full band] show in Amsterdam. One of the new tracks is titled "Just in Time"

It makes me sick to see him performing the classic Live tracks without the band. Go ahead, play the crap from V, BOP, and SFBM. Just stay away from everything on MJ, TC, SS, and TDTH.

But you're okay with TGF playing Live songs with Kevin Martin?

I'm ok with both bands playing Live songs, so long as it doesn't dominate the setlists .. 2-3 songs max should do it. They split for a reason. I do like TGF's idea though of playing more obscure ones than the typical same old ones. Even CT said that Ed has got the right to play any Live songs he wishes, which is true ... doesn't mean he should though. Ed's band doesn't seem to have the balls to pull off the earlier Live work, so sticking to the latter stuff probably just suits them better. Who knows how Kevin will go with the Live vocals, but at least he'll be doing songs we're not used to hearing so it won't be such a shock.

But yeah, what I'd really hope for is both bands playing their new albums in full in concert. I really hope Ed doesn't just do 6-7 songs from his album and then everything else Live stuff ... that'll just hurt his credibility even more.

Ed playing live songs will bring people to the show. The general public go to concerts to hear songs that they know. He is also touring as Ed Kowalczyk of Live, so people will be expecting to hear the hits. The songs will sound differently a bit to hardcores because these guys haven't been playing Live songs for 10-15 years, but they are talented musicians and it will still sound good..

If TGF plays only obscure Live/Candlebox songs, it will fall flat with the majority of the audience. I'm sure they will pull off I Alone,Cover Me etc.

In concert Ed is 2 of 5 because Adam is with him. Also, the lead singer makes all the difference. Did anyone happen to catch Fuel after they got rid of Brett Scallions? Yikes!

Yes, the lead singer can make a huge difference, but also vice versa is true.
A lead singer is nothing without his band... most of the time when a former lead singer starts an own solo career it fails miserably.

Please tell that to Mike Doughty, formerly the lead vocalist of Soul Coughing. He sells a lot less records and makes a lot less money than he did with SC, but he's happier. That should be all that matters.

Also, Mike's solo renditions and renditions of SC songs with his newer band are quite good.
