    Another one on my list of albums to check out. It's that good, then? I toyed with the idea of seeing him this fall.

    For sure! I mentioned it in another thread that I'm not always a big "live albums are better than sutdio albums" guy, but I have 3 official live albums and a couple of boots from Liam, and they all blow away the studio album.

    if you were not lucky enough to go to an Ed solo show then def check out a Liam show if he swings through your town.

    that guy can drum his ass off boy!!!!!!

    Liam is definitely someone who has to be experienced live to appreciate
    the full extent of his talent.

    And when you buy his album on the tour, you get a bonus CD of a live show from the April tour.

    I went to two, but missed Liam the first time. I was duly impressed in Montreal, though. He is a MAD drummer.

    I'll check out the live stuff.

    ive been listening to it non stop lately! i picked it up like 2 weeks ago... my favorites are "better to be", "second chance", "lead balloon", "fire in your belly", and "energy spent"... cant wait to see how it all translates live... everyone should definitely give this guy a chance!

    Anytime - one of the keys to appreciating the live cd's is remembering what it's like to watch him move from instrument to instrument...just one man, with a little help from EJ...sick.

    I've seen some other "loop" artists, but none come close to Liam's talent or intensity.

    Thanks for the link. I've seen him three times on the Eddie tour and was blown away each time. I have tix to his Sept show at the Bowery Ballroom.

    Same here. Bought his cd in SD after seeing him in Van and SD and love it. :)
    Hope you get to see him again! :)

    I d/l his CD before the Ed show....but then I bought it after the Ed show...

    And as I was looking through last year's Bumbershoot photos - in the ones we took of Ed with Crowded House, there was Liam! So I had seen him before! (and crowded house in 1989)... This year Tim Finn will be at B'Shoot, so I'll have seen the whole family again!!

    I didn't even listen to any of Liam's music prior to seeing him open for Eddie but I was surprise to liked most of his songs. His live performances were quite entertaining. I'll grab my hands on his work very soon.

    Oh and E.J.'s kinda HOT in a weird way(without trying to be sexy). ;)

    Ever since Ed's shows on the west coast, this cd has been one of my most played on my iPOD. Probably going to see him in SF next month.

    I went to Liam and EJs gig in Sydney, in June and it was one of the best live shows I've seen!!!
    I already had his album and loved it from the first listen.
    I'm hoping he'll come back to australia and do some more shows!! Unfortunately I doubt he'll come to West Aus....so means I'll have to make the treck over east again - but it'd be worth it :)
