We do enjoy singing!

I'm sure there must be live stuff without the audience being heard though.

I must admit my first live show I was attracted to the fact that all these fans knew the songs so well.

David C.,

WELCOME to the board. You could not have picked a more worthy band to get excited about. They are incredible live and I hope that you get to see them live in the future. My wife tolerates my addiction to the band and hopefully yours will too.

Ok so the closest thing I can do right now is catch whatever live item is available...plenty to choose from on YT obviously. But does every concert have the entire audience singing along? So far too many where I can't hear Tom, just an overwhelming audience participation. Not that this is such a bad thing on occasion, but every song gets a bit much. Tell me it ain't so!!!

The new Live Anthology that is coming out this month is live material from the soundboard recordings so you hear mostly Tom and the audience in the background.

Thanks petty4me, I plan to get that as well. Thanks for the welcome Indian. I'm so friggin jealous of all of you. But at least so much of what has been put out is quite good. Heck, Runnin Down a Dream is what got me here. I started watching it yet again and I pick up new things with each viewing. Wish I could have seen them live with Stan and with Howie. It amazes me how these guys filmed themselves at such an early stage. It's as though they knew that Bogdanovich was going to put it all together someday. Heck, Tom told Mike and Ben that they would make a lot of money if they went along with him, and he was right. A true visionary that Tom. Reminds me of what Lennon told his bandmates(toppermost of the poppermost!). God I love this band!
