In a 13-song set, the middle is somewhere around song 6/7. So, coming in to Live's set in the middle would look like this:

7. The Distance
8. I Alone
9. Lakini's Juice
10. White, Discussion
11. Heaven
12. Turn My Head
13. Lightning Crashes

Looks like plenty to cheer about.

People were filing in throughout the beginning of Live’s set. Selling the Drama had an awesome reaction.

Serious question...Would Live sell out the Chameleon these days? Not sure how many it holds?

I would say yes. I'm not from that area but the website ways it holds 1000 peeps.

If +Live+ would actually quit F'ing around with the "Lets all hold hands, ED's back, money grab, desperately try and get new fans" Tour...

...And actually play to their core audience, with headlining shows, deep cuts, and new tunes...

I'd think they would do quite nicely!

That would be a big blow if they play there and don't sell out.

Live will never play deep cuts. 25 years together and they have only really surprised us maybe a handful of times.

I don't think they even know who their core audience is these days? They split their base down the middle and I think they're paying the price.

Saying Love Lounge is a face melter aligns them with the fans who like SFBM and Ed's solo stuff.

Knowing damn well deep down the song is a turd.

Random thoughts and off topic:

I think Ed and CT deserve each other.
I wish they would've done The Turn under the Gracious Few brand.
Ed will be Live by 2020. He's only a 2nd bassist away from touring without CCP.
PD, CG should do an album with Shinn and Chris Thorn. Maybe get Memphis on board too.

You know what... That is well said!

I was always butt hurt that they gave Shinn the boot, and the way they did it. But then, when I was writing out a post the other day, and I wrote that I wasn't really a fan of Shinn singing the old +Live+ stuff. Thats when it clicked. I was always a Chris supporter, and still am! But you are so right that they should have just made this The Gracious Few v2.0

CCP deserve better. Hopefully they are all just kinda laughing behind Ed's back, and that there real plan is to just cash in on this "tour" and then split off and make real music!

Maybe Adam can come back and join Ed's band, and he can have the +Live+ name. It ended up being a stupid choice anyway (no way to internet search it easily)
