I just got Both Sides of the Gun and am seeing him at Red Rocks in August. I know a few other older songs, but generally am just going b/c I've heard he's great live. What older album would you all recommend I get first?

    If you want a studio album, I would definately start off with Fight for Your Mind.

    If you want a wide variety of songs from his first 4 discs, pick up Live from Mars. The CD has a heavier electric disc, and a softer mellower acoustic disc. Live From Mars would also give you an idea of how he sounds live.

    He is great live by the way... You won't be disappointed!

    Diamonds on the Inside has some great songs but is hit or miss.

    Burn to Shine is pretty good.

    Fight For Your Mind is real good.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.
