re: Live. They were one of the best... live... acts I've seen. Saw them in 1995 in Vancouver and again in the mid-2000s in Calgary. Whatever people think of their music, they were damned tight as a band. And Ed Kowalczyk is a killer singer.
Their fall-out is pretty weird, but by all accounts they had all become pretty self-absorbed. Not sure who is to blame, but I agree it is weak to be touring as 'Live' without Ed.
I saw Ed on an acoustic tour earlier this year in a tiny theatre in Vancouver. Could not have been more than 100 people there. It was a good show and it was cool to hear the old tunes. Actually, his new stuff isn't too far removed from Live's later work. I check his website every now and then, and he does tour with a full-band. I'd definitely go see him again. He's still got the vocal chops.
