Your favorite Live show? Options

[Heather]

I like to reminisce about the Live days of old. Since we've got the first Live show thread I thought a favorite Live show thread would be interesting. So what is yours?!


Mine is tough because I really loved my first show in 97. I also loved their York Fair show, I was front row center and they had switched up their setlist that night for the first time in a long while. Then there was the first time I saw them up close at the 9:30 Club after the HFStival. Then there was the time I got to see them while standing on the side of the stage. That Millenium show was pretty cool too even though I was in the very last row of the place! Cleary, I cannot choose!

I'm not good with dates, but here are some memorable ones for me:

Rolling Rock 2001 - This was the 1st time I ever saw Live in concert and was actually suppose to be my 1st ever concert. However, a couple of weeks before the show my friend won tickets to see Fuel on the Intrepid in NY for the night before. So after the Fuel show, my friend and I drove back to NJ, got home at 1:30 am, picked up our two friends, and then drove 6 hours to Latrobe, PA for the show. I remember waiting impatiently in the 90 degree heat all day to see Live and they didn't disappoint.

Roseland Ballroom, NYC, November 2001 - 2 months after 9/11, the place was electric. During "All Over You" which I think was the 2nd song in the set, I looked over to my right and saw a shadow of CT stomping on the wall. Awesome stuff! In middle of the concert, they played a 3 song acoustic set of They Stood Up For Love, Imagine, and Call Me a Fool. Then when they played Overcome, the crowd started chanting "USA...USA...USA". It was so emotional, gave me chills down my spine.

Crocodile Rock, Allentown PA, April 2007 - Drove in the middle of the Nor'easter where I could barely see a foot in front of me. The place was a dump as the roof was leaking on me the entire show, but it was worth it.

Starland Ballroom, Sayreville NJ, 2009 - Already mentioned. My last Live show. Gas Head.Top.Purifier.Best version ever of The Distance.HOLD ME UP. Enough said!
