Breaking Up the Band


05 Dec

We bonded over music. The first CD my husband ever loaned me was Mental Jewelry, the debut album from LIVE. They became “our band”. Why settle for a song, when you can have a band? “Dance With You” from Distance to Here, was our wedding song. We travelled out of state and out of country (twice) to see them perform live.

So its hard to see the band break up, to realize that everything turned sour. This was our band. I’m excited to hear what the former members are doing now, but I can’t help but be a little sad.

Great live performances – LIVE

LIVE is our favorite band. We have seen them perform live four times. The first time was in Oakland at an outdoor amphitheater. The second was when they were opening for Nickelback in Vancouver. The best part was leaving before Nickelback came on and the look on the bouncer’s face when we left. We also saw them at a casino just outside Vancouver, that turned out to be a great venue, and finally, just two summers ago, at Marymoor park.

They have all been great performances, and I am sad that it looks like their current break might become permanent.
