Out To Dry & Pokey, here u go my friends, enjoy. TDAOC is a little rough, but hang tight, it does get better. It's a boot, u know how it goes. Figured I'd paste a little of the post that lead to this thread for those that may have similar memories, because...man, those were the days.

"It's classic, the passion, the energy, the set list, man I miss those times. Reminded me of seeing them in Washington, DC at Radio Music Hall (now the 930 club, but a absolute dump than) early in the TC tour. Yes, I'm an old foogie of 40. One of my favorite shows from any artist all time, the place was smaller than many peoples living rooms, warm beer was being sold out of a keg at a fold up card table, there was no barrier between the stage if I remember correctly, it was so intimate and full of energy. Man, it was the greatest. That will be one of those memories that flashes on my death bed for sure."

I would like to add: plus no lame falsetto, and the show I spoke of above was 94 early TC tour before the MTV Unplugged show and all heck broke loose for the boys, and thus the venues changed as well.

OK, I never posted before so I hope there's no issues DL files from mediafire, I'll check back later to see.

Now that I bored the hell out of everyone...Enjoy

We might seem like a bunch of bickering bastards, but it's posts like these that is what this board is and was about. fans of Live, and to me THIS is Live. This is the one thing we should all have in common, putting on a bootleg like this and just enjoying the fuck out of it from start to finish. Ed taking over the writing credits from 2001 onwards or so isn't Live, it's a bastardised version of it which held together for a few years to produce moments of awesomeness, but then went completely off the rails around 2005.

Live was about 4 guys from York PA coming together and writing awesome music and playing awesome shows and this is just a fine example of it, much thanks again Donno!

Pokey, once again you nailed it with your words. The fact that they were childhood friends and all original members I think added to what attracted a lot of us to them as well. They seemed like guys from your town that you could relate to and would have a drink with you. It hit me it was on the way down when I saw the V tour (hate that fucking disc) and I had to sit through Call Me A Fool, and Overcome was the encore, come on man, the encore. I about threw up in my mouth, and it wasn't from the awful, warm beer at Pier 6. That and Ed's little ecstacy phase changed him. And yes boys and girls, it is 100% true. I'm not going to go into how I can tell you this, and you can choose not to believe it, or trash me all you want for not telling you how I know. I know that's a big claim to make and not provide evidence, but there's some things you're going to keep to yourself and not post for the world to see, it could come back to bite me in the ass very seriously. I can tell you the ecstacy stuff is a fact. I thought they rebounded nice on the BOP tour...but than I saw the small tour they did before SFBM and Ed's teen beat, prancing, little gay boy dance moves and I could see the end was near. The guys looked embarassed to be on the same stage at times during his High School Musical try out.
