Ed is certainly in a different mood than in previous vids I've seen as Hoodstock said he's much more open to discussing Live and it's clear to me from the way he's talking bout their show at the Stardust that he still cherishes the memories.

Thought I'd type out the last bit as a quicker go-to reference than Dan's audio file or for anyone having problems:

Interviewer: Do you ever see yourself onstage again, with the original members of Live, do you ever see yourself opening up a concert again, singing the Damn at Otter Creek, just like back in the early 90's, with some of your solo stuff but do you ever see yourself reconnecting, developing your relationship with those guys again, coming back to form Live again?

Ed: Like I said I would never close any doors to future projects or future collaborations or whatever, I think again, as much as a band is a band there's four individuals in a band or more or less or whatever and that those individuals have their own trajectories they go off, they live their lives they do their own thing and I think that''s the space that the individuals that make up Live are in now and I wouldn't close any doors, you know...yeah sure *nods*


Bit of a turn-around from never wanting to work with 'those individuals' again, though I do wonder how CCP will respond to this or whether it undermines or complicates what they are doing with +Live+ at this moment in time. Personally, my head is spinning a bit as while I was geared for +Live+ without Ed, this has turned my head (yep) and I'm not sure what I want now. I want what's best for +Live+ but what is that? If Ed goes back will it be for better or worse? And I can't help but agree with Liverocks about being at a +Live+ concert without Ed killing it on vocals. Maybe it will work for me aurally, but not visually (though it's not as if they come over here much anyway). And if they do get another guy in but the opportunity to get back with Ed resurfaces a year or two down the line? What then?

So yeah, a strange one and I wonder how it will effect the fans and what CCP are doing now. Your thoughts? I'm surprised much of this thread has been taken up with mud-slinging rather than actually discussing this.
