This song crushes me every time I hear it...the tears just flow

I literally chased these guys around to every venue they played at back in the early 2000's.. LOVE them. Made it all that much better when their bass player, Chris Sooley was very interested in me.. lol Where has the time gone? I miss my youth soooo fricken bad. Getting old sucks. 😢

Live is hands down the band that got me into rock. Throwing Copper is one of the best rock albums of all time without doubt. Ed still sounds amazing!!

Omg the nostalgia…growing up in the 90’s was seriously the best 😅

Live,counting crows,green day,offspring,bush,alice in chains,soundgarden,STP,pearl jam,dave matthews,our lady peace....what an amazing time in music.

I was an ER nurse who worked the OKC bombing at the time this song was making it’s way into popularity. Although quite sad, it helped me get through this great time of confusion and devastation. It helped me to move through my emotions - crying out loud in my home (ER nurses tend to avoid feeling, when possible-it gets in the way of performance). But, to this day, every time I hear this song, I stop what I am doing…..and remember and tear up. Such a beautiful song.

Bless you for your service, especially during that devastation.

They still got it, after all this time. what a great band, one of the very best!

First heard this song on my grade 8 friend's mix cassette tape in my walkman, on a bus on our class trip to Quebec. Didn't have repeat on those things so I just kept rewinding and replaying it, with my friend sitting silently beside me (wondering what the heck) on the bus bench. hahaha. What a powerful, amazing song I'll never forget.

Thank you for this gem! I'm transported back to when I had the good fortune to see Live by chance years ago. Ed was pure energy ✨️ and that voice! He's still got it. Wow.🔥

Saw them in the 90's on the Secret Samadhi tour in ATL. One of the best concerts I've ever had the priviledge of attending. Ed K. was absolutely electric and the band was flawless. Nice to hear Ed's voice is still great.

Que emoción verlos cantar de forma impecable. Aguante Live

One of the f*****g greatest guy’s I’ve ever heard!!!!

Finally!!! Some new Live, live! 😊 Thank you for posting such a wonderful clear video with audio. Well done! 👍🏼 💕

I remember seeing these guys in Torrington CT, at a place called the Purple Gator, right before they went big. Great to see this video.

Man, I miss those guys

I have a Throwing Copper album CD. oh 90s best era of music!

Greatest band ever. Seeing them w STP this summer. Wish the entire gang was back together though.

Love them! Live is my favorite band and has been since Mental Jewelry came out. Glad he got new dudes so we can see them again - F*ck the drama. Ed is amazing. You cannot replace him w/ some rando dude. While I loved Chad x 2, and Patrick, the music is Ed's. He's who we want to hear. FINALLY - got to see them in September 2023. Best day of my life. Robin, Chris, Zak and Nick are great and it was an amazing show!

The music is definitely not Ed, The opening chord progression of this song being played with a phaser pedal makes this song recognizable in the first 5 seconds and that is all Chad's creation, sure any guy can play it now, But guitar parts, drum parts and bass lines were all as much apart of the music as Ed's words and Vocals. All 4 guys were just as important as the other.

all of the music in that band was made special by Chad Taylor, Chad Gracey, and Patrick Dahlheimer - Ed was always just the singer. him without the band is karaoke and I can't support it. you said "fuck the drama"....ED IS THE DRAMA in the band.

Agreed. This isn't LIVE but since Ed can do what he wants the name,it is. Also the name sells more tickets than Ed K plus backing band.

live is my favorite band of all time. Been following them since Mental Jewelry. Wish they would get back together. It's not the same with Chad, Chad and Patrick.

No. No drama. Just music.

This is such a great song, but I have never heard him once perform this song live to sound like the studio version. He's always adding lyrics, changing the timing, doing different pitches, etc.... I love this band and Ed is amazing, I just hate when artist change a song up so much during a live performance.

How can you expect a performer to play the same song over and over and over and never change things up? Maybe just stick to listening to the studio version for the rest of your life.

@jamiemacdonald436 Easily, most performers do. Also, it's cool if you want to change it up every once in a while, but he's never, not once, nailed this song live. That's the disappointing part.

The only band that I have seen in concert that did not do an encore and I have been to plenty of Live concerts! Thousands of disappointed paying fans that night in the early 2000's in Brisbane Australia when they were still a big band but they didn't care.

This is not LIVE. This Ed with randoms...a solo project shall we say.

Does he break one of his drum sticks at around 5:15 or what is it flying through the air ?

incorrect.

Why is he always plating the 3dr chord so soft. can barely hear it

Guess the other three originals are not interested in playing with Ed. Chad, Chad, and Pat were great guys to deal with, Ed not so much.

lightening crashes, an old mother dies, all her intentions fall to the ground...and someone screams out like a drongo. Makes sense........not

So unhappy that they split long ago.. so long and ruined so much for their true fans.. l

much how I didn't like +Live+ when they did that one horrible album without Ed on vocals, I am also not into this. Ed solo billed as +Live+ with none of the original members. just isn't what made that band special. all of those guys were integral to that band. this is just Ed grabbin' for cash since his solo career didn't work out. 2019 the original lineup was back together making new music and their live shows sounded even better than ever, then he went and pulled his ego BS again and now is doing this. I can't support it

Just google a Rolling Stone magazine article called "How an alleged con man tore apart one of the nineties biggest bands". Guitarist Chad Taylor stuffed the band up. Also in the article drummer Chad Gracey said that Ed Kowalczyk has virtually written every lyric and melody for Live.

I will forever love Live and their music, but Ed is one of the most egotistical humans ever born. And this is NOT Live. Ed got twacked out on some weird other wordly ego trip for years and years and ruined the real band. He still sounds good, I suppose, but I can't imagine wasting my money supporting him and his weird self-absorbed fantasy life.

Bunch of cheese balls. The drummer is so flat. Gracey, Taylor and Dalheimer are so missed.

awesome So cool to see ed shakes peoples hands there at the end. For someone who definitely struggled with the rock ego I hope he's found that as we get older ego's really do you no good. Great band
