Lovely concert notice from IndyWeek about Ed's Raleigh show:

If you're feeling charitable, please consider this engagement with Ed Kowalczyk—the former frontman of Live, an act that somewhat successfully turned Kurt Cobain's legacy both overtly arty and commercial—Raleigh's official celebration of Nevermind's 20th anniversary. If you're feeling less charitable, though, this is an appearance by an exiled frontman of an occasionally interesting but mostly dismissible '90s rock act, attempting to remind those who remember "Lightning Crashes" that he released an abysmal solo record, predictably called Alive, just last year. Kowalczyk has had his moments during the last two decades; Alive, an attempt to cross over into rich Christian rock waters, isn't one. Namesake opens the $5 show at 6 p.m. —Grayson Currin

Nick usually goes and does massive background checks on people who give bad reviews to try and find reasons why their review is meaningless. I'm sure he's hard at work doing so now.

Brutal review, but honest.

The guy didn't even attend the show so you can't qualify that notice as a review. Calling LIVE "a dismissable act" shows he wasn't a fan of LIVE to begin with.
