LIVE is an American rock band formed in York, Pennsylvania, in 1984,
consisting of Ed
Kowalczyk (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Chad Taylor (lead guitar,
backing vocals), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass), and Chad Gracey (drums). Their
discography includes nine studio albums, one live album, two compilation albums,
three extended plays, twenty-eight singles and twenty-six music videos.
Their biggest success came in 1994, with their third album, Throwing Copper,
which sold eight million copies in the U.S. The band had a string of hit singles
in the mid-1990s, including "Lightning Crashes", which stayed at the top of the
Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for ten consecutive weeks and the
Modern Rock Tracks (now Alternative Songs) chart for nine weeks from February 25
to April 22, 1995.

After appearances on the MTV 120 Minutes tour, at Woodstock '94,
and on Peter Gabriel's
WOMAD tour, Live's second album, Throwing Copper, achieved
mainstream success. The record featured the singles "I Alone", "All Over You",
and the number-one US Modern Rock hits "Selling the Drama" and "Lightning
Crashes". "Lightning Crashes" also stayed at the top of the Billboard Hot
Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for ten consecutive weeks. The band appeared on
NBC's Saturday Night Live, where they played "I Alone" and "Selling the
Drama", and they performed for the first time in the UK, on The Word.
On May 6, 1995, Throwing Copper gained the number one position on the
Billboard 200 album chart its 52nd week on the chart. It was the third longest
gap between an album first charting and reaching number one, behind
Fleetwood Mac's
eponymous album in 1976 (58 weeks) and
Paula Abdul's
Forever Your Girl in 1989 (64 weeks). It is Live's best-selling album to
date, having sold eight million copies in the US alone.

The release of the platinum-selling The Distance to Here (1999) turned LIVE
into an international powerhouse and moved the band from arenas into stadiums.
LIVE has been and remains today a global concert juggernaut.
In 2000, Live embarked on a co-headlining tour with
Counting Crows.
On that tour,
Counting Crows' lead singer,
Adam Duritz, often
joined Live for their performance of "The Dolphin's Cry", while Kowalczyk sang a
verse of "Hanginaround" with
Counting Crows
On September 14, 2007, Live released Radiant Sea: A Collection of
Bootleg Rarities and Two New Songs, their first album since 1989 on their own
Action Front Records label. The new songs were "Beautiful Invisible" and
"Radiant Sea". Live recorded their first concert DVD in the Netherlands
during two shows at the Paradiso on June 30 and July 1, 2008.
On August 2, 2008, Daughtry
and Live performed the band's interpretation of "I Walk the Line"
together at the Toms River Fest in Toms River, New Jersey. Also that year, the band headlined a US tour that also featured
Blues Traveler
and Collective Soul.
In July 2009, Live announced that the band would take a two-year hiatus
to work on other projects. Kowalczyk recorded his solo album Alive, and
the other band members formed a group with Kevin Martin and Sean Hennesy of
Candlebox, called The Gracious Few.
In July 2012, Live commenced more legal proceedings against
Kowalczyk for misuse of the band's name while promoting his live performances.
Live's first major tour with Shinn was as part of the Summerland Tour
2013, playing 35 shows across the US. Other featured bands were
Everclear,
Filter, and
Sponge.
When touring, Live has used additional musicians, including Ed
Kowalczyk's younger brother Adam, British keyboardist Michael "Railo"
Railton, rhythm guitarist Christopher Thorn of

The band has sold more than twenty million albums worldwide.
