Live - Full Concert [HD] | Live at Pinkpop 1997

Live is an American rock band that had hits with Lightning Crashes, I Alone, Overcome, and The Dolphin's Cry, among others. The band was founded in the mid-eighties in York (Pennsylvania). Originally, the band was called First Aid. After a few name changes, the band was called Public Affection. Under this name, the band released its first album The Death of a Dictionary in 1989. This album was only released on cassette. When the label Radioactive Records teamed up with the band, the album Mental Jewelry was released in 1991 after the maxi single Four songs. The band has been called Live ever since. The sound of the band was still quite raw. The band had great success at that time with the album Throwing Copper. From this album came the singles I Alone, All Over You, Selling the Drama and Lightning Crashes. This album gave the band the breakthrough. Throwing Copper was followed by Secret Samadhi. This album was not really successful with the general public. The black cover and CD illustrate the very raw and dark sounding music. One of the more famous songs on this album, Lakini's Juice, was created while the band members were in the bath doing nothing. The band was back in the spotlight when the album The Distance to Here was released in 1999. The single The Dolphin's Cry became a top 10 hit for Live. The singles Run to the Water and They Stood Up for Love also did well. The Distance to Here became the band's biggest success with the real general public, but the fans of the first hour didn't have much to do with the album, which in their opinion didn't show the variety, rawness and originality of the first three albums.
