| "Friends
Of Live" has posted
a new video
of Ed and Slash performing "Imagine" (from the recent "Peace On The
Beach" performance, held on February 15th in Santa Monica, California), as well
as some new photos from this event. LIVE have confirmed a new tour date
for March 23rd at "The Boathouse" in Norfolk, Virginia. Tickets, which
will cost $25, will go on-sale via Ticketmaster on Saturday (March 1st) at 10am EDT
(a link to purchase tickets has been added to the Tour Section).
Baltimore-based band "Lake Trout" will be opening for LIVE at every concert from March 23rd to March
30th, with exception of the March 28th concert in Philadelphia. LIVE will perform
their first tour date in over 3 months tonight at "Caesar's Tahoe" in Lake
Tahoe, Nevada. Setlists and reviews from the dates scheduled this weekend will be
added to Setlist & Review Section as they become available. "Friends Of Live" have informed
me that LIVE's management have approved the interview with Ed from the WMMR Radio
Station I sent them, so they will be posting it on their site during the beginning
of next week (as soon as the downloads for the current "Imagine" download
subside some). The "Zeta 94.9" radio station in Miami, Florida has posted
some new pictures to their site, which are from Ed's appearance at
their station on February 13th (thanks to Art Vanderlay of Australia for sharing
this link with us). "What Are We Fighting For" has been receiving decent
airplay on the "Triple M" radio station in Melbourne, Australia. And the newsletter
provider has been switched back to the original provider (from which the first 78
issues were sent out). Have A Nice Weekend! |

| "Friends
Of Live" is planning
on taking the links down (on their site) to the mp3 of "What Are We Fighting
For" on Thursday morning. However, they "plan on replacing this removed
mp3 with something exciting!", so make sure to stay tuned to their site for
the latest surprise they have for everyone (as well as the WMMR interview with Ed
that I sent them). A cover of "The Dolphin's Cry" by Christian Storb (lead
singer of "Nojar") of Muenster, Germany is now available for download in
the Cover
Contest Section on the site.
Adam Kowalczyk (Ed's brother) and his band, "Adam & The Weight", will be holding their cd release party
on March 13th at 8pm PDT at the "Key Club" in Los Angeles, California. The Live Lounge Newsletter (Issue 79)
was sent out today on the new newsletter provider, however I wasn't aware that the
new provider posts ads in the e-mails that are sent out. Therefore, I will be switching
back to the old provider. If you haven't subscribed to the newsletter yet, please
visit the Newsletter Section
to subsribe now! And the current poll will be extended until next week... according
to the current results, the majority of voters (62%) feel that
"What Are We Fighting For" is AWESOME. |

| As mentioned last Thursday, Ed Kowalczyk
was interviewed on the WMMR Radio Station
in Philadelphia, Pennysylvania. I managed to get ahold of a copy of this interview
from the radio station, which I have forwarded to "Friends Of Live". Pending approval from LIVE's management,
they should have it up for download within the next couple of days. As of this past
Saturday (February 22nd), I have switched hosts for The Live Lounge Newsletter (due
to growing problems with the previous host). In order to receive future copies of
the newsletter, you will need to send a blank e-mail to the address listed in the
Newsletter
Section (please contact
me if you have any questions.
And a remix of "Like A Soldier" by Nick Terlizzi of Scarsdale, New York
is now available for download in the Cover Contest Section on the site. |

be performing at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida on March 21st.

| I have added a new mp3 sample of "Like
I Do" (from the 11/22/02 concert at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster,
Pennysylvania) to the New Song Samples section of the site. Apparently, if you list LIVE as your favorite
band when you sign up for the "WMMR Card" on the WMMR Radio Station website, you should receive a pair of tickets to
the March 28th concert at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennysylvania when you
receive your card in the mail (as have several people so far). And tickets for the
March 24th concert at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia went on-sale this morning
