Oh, I thought you were in Boston last night for some reason.
I hear the Fillmore is a phenomenal place to see a show. I have a bootleg of Live performing there in '99, it was incredible.

You will LOVE them

This is a review posted in the Boxton Patriot Ledger - sent May 14th
It is about the concert at The Avalon in Boston - I think on May 12th

By JAY N. MILLER
For The Patriot Ledger

It’s been a while since the band Live has been anywhere near the top of the charts, and the York, Pa., quartet will seldom be confused with hip, critical darlings.

Yet they’re back on the scene just as solid as ever in support of their first album in three years, ‘‘Songs From Black Mountain,’’ due for a June 13 release on Epic.

The sold-out crowd of 2,000 at Avalon in Boston Friday night couldn’t have been happier, either. They roared and sang along through a potent 105-minute show that was heavy with cuts from the new CD and their breakthrough second album, 1994’s ‘‘Throwing Copper,’’ which sold 12 million copies and spawned three No. 1 singles.

Live songwriter Ed Kowalczyk has a knack for writing hooks amid anthemic mainstream rockers with just a hint of heavy-metal dynamics. Some of his songs are deceptively simple, while many others carry a mystical feeling. Of course, there’s nothing like a little spiritual content to send the hipness police scurrying in the opposite direction. At his best, Kowalczyk can approach U2-like power, while his lesser efforts are more Bon Jovi without the charisma.

Here's the link to the rest of the review:

Hey thanks for sharing.

I think though that the U2 and Bon Jovi comparison is a poor one. At Live's best, they're way more powerful than U2. I don't mean that in a negative way for U2 (I like some of their early work), it's just that Live has much more power packed in them, at their best.

the boys in live keep on steamrollin'! i agree the comparisons are poor.

I had already posted that review to the Setlist Section, but you're more than free to discuss it in this forum if you wish.
