...For those who do not know the band "Live" or had the pleasure of listening to there extraordinary album "Throwing Copper". Live became very popular internationally in the 1990's producing anthem style rock with spiritual lyrics appealing across a wide music spectrum. The members of Live first performed in the early 80s in their hometown of York, Pennsylvania, when members Chad Taylor (guitar), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass) and Chad Gracey (drums) began playing together under the name "First Aid". They entered into a local area talent contest (which they lost) pushing them into the decision of recruiting a new singer? Ed Kowalczyk. As a foursome the group played under many names before settling on "Live". Three and a bit years after the release of there first album Mental Jewelry in November 1990 , Live returned on April 1994... Read review

Advantages: maybe their best album yet
Disadvantages: the artwork on the front of cd

...I had been witing on this album coming out for sometime,but did not think that it might be as good as their past albums. "the distance to here" is lives' fourth album. The other three being: Secret Samadhi,Mental Jewelry and Throwing Copper. The album starts with the best single,"the dolphins cry" This starts of as a slow ballad then all of a sudden they speed things up and launch into a rock song."The dolphins cry" is one of the best songs i have heard in a long time. This song itself is worth buying the album for. After the first song, things slow down a bit.

Advantages: More aggressive, back to the "Throwing Copper" style
Disadvantages: Not as good as "Throwing Copper"

...Live have had to go back to the good-old-days to delivering there forth album "The Distance to Here" (October 1999). After a poor reception from there third album "Secret Samadhi" (February 1997) which did no favors for Live's fan base, they had to reunite with producer Jerry Harrison to bring back there lost sound which was so popular with Mental Jewelry and especially Throwing Copper. The "Secret Samadhi" album was heavier which I feel many "main-stream" fans had rejected the concept, although it reached number 1 and went double platinum. "Lakini's Juice", "Freaks", "Turn My Head" and "Rattlesnake" were all extremely popular hit singles from the album. "The Distance to Here" comes at you faster and reignites their sound from the "Throwing Copper" days, while Chad Taylor's (lead guitar) background vocals is much crisper which... Read review
