Ed gets all the crap for the lack of commercial success(at least in the US) for LIVE's later albums. However, Ed wrote 9 of 12 songs for The Distance to Here(including the albums biggest hit, The Dolphin's Cry), yet he doesn't get the majority of credit for its success. In many countries it was actually a bigger album than Throwing Copper, and to many it contains LIVE's best work.

So why the double standard?

TDTH is Ed's masterpiece. If the label weren't hell bent on pushing the softer side of it all, we'd have had an album with Vine Street and Don't Wait on it. And that would have been incredible.
