| Happy New Year
to everyone! |
I hope everyone has a great time ringing in the new
year tonight! I want to thank everyone (especially to all the members of the Message
Board) for their dedication and support
to this site over the past year. Here's to a good new year with hopefully many good
things to happen in Live-land. And to those attending the Live concert tonight in
Tempe, we're all jealous of you!  posted december 31st, 2003 |
| Year-end chart
statistics for Heaven and Birds Of Pray |
| Live's current single (in the United States), "Heaven",
was featured in many year-end charts for 2003. On the Radio & Records website, "Heaven" was featured on the following
year-end charts... at #26 on the Hot AC Chart, at #49 on the Triple A Charts, and
at #66 on the Rock Chart. On the year-end chart for The Billboard Hot 100 Singles,
"Heaven" came in at #97 (it peaked at #59 on this chart earlier this year
and currently stands at #567 on the All-Time list for this chart as well). On other
Billboard Charts, "Heaven" peaked at... #4 on the Adult Top 40 chart, #26
on the Top 40 Tracks chart, #33 on both the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts,
and at #36 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart. According to the Mediabase Charts, "Heaven" was listed at #16 on the list for the
top 50 most played songs in the Hot AC format for 2003. And "Heaven" continues
to do well in the Hot AC format, currently standing at #14, despite having been released
for over 8 months in that format (even more suprising, it is currently the 13th fastest
rising song in that format, and currently has 55 more spins this week over last week).
And lastly, "Birds Of Pray" came in at #59 on the year end chart for The Top 100 Albums
in Australia. posted december 31st, 2003 |

in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on December 29th. An article pertaining to this event
appeared in Friday's edition of the York Daily Record. Click here to view a scan of this article (submitted by Jennifer Rissinger

country singer Shelby Lynne, to the Media Section of their site. posted december 24th, 2003 |
| New single
news from guitarist Chad Taylor |
| According to a recent diary entry from guitarist Chad Taylor on Friends Of
Live, Live will be releasing a new single after the first of the new year (in the
US). As mentioned in a previous news update, Ed confirmed that "Run Away"
will be the new single (at the November 14th concert in Tempe, Arizona). However,
as stated before, this hasn't been officially confirmed. posted december 24th, 2003 |
| Duet of Run
Away to be available soon |
| Friends
Of Live will be offering
a special duet version of "Run Away" on their site soon. No word yet as
to who this duet will be with, however. posted december 18th, 2003 |
| New cover contest
in the works for the new year |
| With a lack of new tour dates in the
coming months, along with the current lack of news updates, I thought it would be
a good idea to start a new cover contest on the site, to keep things active. I'm
aiming to start accepting submissions around the beginning of next year. Rules and
deadlines have yet to be established. Have any ideas for the new cover contest? I'd
appreciate some input, so if you do, please post your feedback in this thread
on the message board, or send me an e-mail.
Thanks in advance! posted december 17th, 2003 |
| Overseas tour
comes to an end / Live look ahead to the new year |
| Dates for Live's recent outing in South
Africa, Australia, and New Zealand have come to an end. Fans who talked with band
members at recents show report that Live will be taking a break after the New Year's
Eve show in Arizona, and plan on beginnng work for Album 7 next year. However, there
is still no word as to whether Live will be touring the US before beginning work
on their new album. I have added the setlists and a bunch of fan reviews from all
of the recent shows to the Setlist & Review Section. Friends Of Live has also posted a bunch of tour diary entries by
Chad Taylor to the Tour Diary
section on their site. Have a review or pictures that you want to contribute to the
site? If so, please send them my way
and I will post them to the site (make sure to include the date of the concert, your
full name, and your location). posted december 17th, 2003 |
