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 Dalheimer (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 / Ecstatic Fanatic, 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.
