live
For the slang usage of live in music to contrast recordings, see concert performance. For radio or television programs that are broadcast in "real time", rather than being recorded and broadcast at a later date, see Broadcasting#Recorded or live and live television. Live is also used in jargon references for objects under voltage. For the transcendental concept you may be looking for life as in being biologically animate or alive.
Live is the name of an American rock band from York, Pennsylvania.
The band Live is comprised of Ed Kowalczyk (lead vocals) Chad Taylor (guitar), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass), and Chad Gracey (drums). The original name of the band was First Aid, formed in the early 1980s. Several name changes followed, including Public Affection, under which they released The Death of a Dictionary (1989).
After a series of unsuccessful attempts at cracking the music business, the group recruited Jerry Harrison (The Talking Heads) to produce Mental Jewelry, an album based on the writings of J. Krishnamurti, an Indian philosopher. Live established a following and returned with Throwing Copper which was also popular, pushed by the success of singles Selling the Drama, I Alone and Lightning Crashes. After that, the band released four albums to limited critical and popular success, Secret Samadhi, The Distance to Here, V, and most recently Birds of Pray.
While Live remains only moderately popular in the United States, they have gained significant popularity abroad, particularly in Europe and Australia. Discography
