fantastic bass playing on this track...love how he switches styles between verse and chorus

I put this album on one day in 1992 and didn't turn it off for a year.

This song just saved the rest of my day. Beautiful!

One of the best lyrics ever, I loved this tune back in the mid 90's: Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus A man of love, and a man of strength But what a man was two thousand years ago means nothing at all to me today He could have been telling me about my higher self But he only lives inside my prayer So what he was may have been beautiful But the pain is right now And right here

F’ing Love your first album and helped keep me alive 💜⚡️💜⚡️💜

Saw them live in NYC in the 90s. So into this album to this day

this song is amazing!!!!

wow, Ed had long hair and cd's came in boxes. thanks for the classic vid anyway.

such a great band.. such a great song... it's when music and emotion become one...!!

Poesia , energia e Atitude ,, isso é Rock n Roll, ,,

Damn! I remember watching this when I was in high school. Great stuff!

melhor de 1994, hollywood rock, apoteose, rj, levantou poeira.

Fabulous ! They are so young and sound ilke they've already been playing together for years which was exactly teh case. All hail Pat Dahlheimer.

These guys were sooo ahead of their time.

The pain is right now and right here....

man, ed's voice is so raw! awesome.

Thank you so much for posing this.

Absolutely amazing. Seems like it was just yesterday...crazy how time flies.

I love how they wear plain t-shirts. fuck commercialism.

At the time of this video, I was approx the same age as the band and could relate to the entire song. Knowing Ed has embraced Christianity makes it more relevant. Oddly, I find myself questioning my questioning from back then. I hope that Ed found peace. 20 years ago is a long time, enough for the anger to settle.

Amazing performance from these kids. Well done lads!!

Just amazing!

greatest band ever

He had much more anger in his voice back then. He doesnt have it any more which sucks because the concerts are not as good. Still greatest band of all time.

Fenomenal

that fucking bass brah ooofffff

Let it go!

Oh my god!!! Soooooooo young and already so talented! How old were they when they played this? Ed looks just like a fresh high school kid...sweet and lovely, all of them!

Totally awesome! Best memories!

Two days before his 21st birthday. lol, looked it up cause I had to know! I miss this Live!

This song is awesome....Eds voice seemed more rougher back in the day, which still sounds great here...

We love playing this song.

I'm CRAZY about this song!!!

FUCKINGG KICKKK ASS !! the slap bass was soo accurate .....and the power in THIS performance was better than pearl jam even !!!

Vodkaa, thanks for sharing. I'm thinking about buying this CD.

Patrick Dahlheimer is a bass BEAST.

Love ...LIVE 🎸🧡

Great album ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶

I find this funny. If you listen to the actual lyrics, he is saying "I heard a lot of about my spirit, I've heard a lot of talk about my soul, but i decided that anxiety and pain were better firends, so I let it go" ..."let's get it back together" . The song is called OPERATION SPIRIT He is talking about getting your SPIRITUALIY and soul back. When he says the line about "what a man was 100 years ago means nothing at all to me today" ..He is talking about spiritual ignorance.

Ed Kowalczyk's a Christian now. : / Apparently, he grew up on it, ditched it, went on some spiritual journey all throughout his career in Live, and has come back full circle. I'm not making this up. Google it. "Ed Kowalczyk religion.blogs" ...Came as quite a shock to me.

exactly what i was thinking hearing this. in a good way of course.

I was 17 when this came out

Oh shit, that's a CD long box!

20~21 in 92s is the same age of my mom and my father =)

Show ❤

Yeah lots of bands change. Rush in my opinion is the greatest rock band in history, and they've changed drastically many times over the course of their 35 year history, and are still putting albums out that are quality. But most bands fall apart when they try to change too much. Ed started writing the songs alone without the band and thats when they started to nose dive. They're gone now but I do believe his shift to Christianity really sucked the life out of the band.

That was great

OMG!!! He's got hair lol....lot younger and sounding sooo great!!!

He looks so handsome omg!

awesome!

No autotune here.

we need this in GUITAR HERO !!

bom pracaráleo....

When he says "lets get it back", I think he was talking about his hair line. Sorry, bad joke. Im tired.

The haircut is great.

nice energy

haha he has hair! and is wearing a shirt!

How was this almost 30 years ago? Where’d the time go?

What talk show was this on?

@kiketta Ed was 21 when this came out.

Those old long cardboard CD casings.. wow

Fuck yeah!

Whoehaha, he's so cute....

He reminds me of a skinny Jack Black from Tenacious D.

@trenken people grow, friendships change, bands break up...its better to accept things and move on... like they have.

Back when they thought they could change the world.

QUERIA VER AQUELE CLIPE DELES NA FOGUEIRA

you may have a point here!you´re right they somehow lost their "anger and edge" like you said it!nevertheless Live will always be my favourite band.Bands often change their type of music during time.what you described,i experienced with Linkin Park.i liked their hard,edged, somehow violent style, with fast music and ciritical lyrics. today their type of music turned too soft I think.ok the comparison Live and Linkin Park is maybe not the best, but i just wanted to say that I know what you mean:)

Did you get an answer yet? I was thinking it's a Vigier Arpege III.

What a fucking bass line!

dat bass

Wow this sounds bad but still like this classic

Ed was 21 I believe.

It is apparent even here that he is a self-denying slave of the false doctrine that has claimed so many other good souls.

classico

Ed's religion turnaround is certainly a shock considering songs like this..

once a Christian always a Christian =)

what kind of bass is he playing?

dam he was hot with long hair...

@Nakedprey thumbs up to you

2000 years*

@lordkol666 I let it go 14 years ago.

lmao!

@Nakedprey let it go, freedom from religion is truly freedom

@Nakedprey I consider myself a christian, but I don't like the church. I think I'm a spiritualist because I live thru music and basically don't need any others interpretation of bible or what not to know how to live my life the right way. :)

what is so bad that he is a christian ? what counts is the music! and the music is great. he could be a buddhist or a muslim i wouldn´t care. as long as he keeps singin :)

@vingable The issue that fans have with it is it ruined what they loved about LIVE. Nothing wrong with picking a side or finding something to believe in personally, but the simple fact is that it ruined what people loved about this band. They turned to total garbage after the Distance album, once Ed started getting all preachy, and the band fell apart and broke up over it.

OPERAÇAO DO ESPIRITO

my goodness..they were so young then, weren't they?

@llouldeng They damn well should be, but whatever.

Their lyrics were influenced by the teachings of j krishnamurti

knowing he is a christian now hurts me. just like i heard presidents dont smoke weed.... :(

@hurricanehghighway knowing he beleives in any god or religon pains me

You have no clue what you're talking about, beat it.

When Ed had hair they were good. When he didn't they sucked.

rather be in ROCK BAND

All I can see from what I have read so far is--in my humble opinion-- nobody can get who Jesus really is . Even many who consider themselves christians can't pin it down - and that is the saddest part of all!! I hope This guy Ed becomes an imitator of Christ by the book, unlike so many who state being born again and all they got was a dip under the 3 titles in a freezing pool and no holy spirit fire. Acts 2:38 all the way!! All the others can do as they so well please. Enough said.

why should what anyone else chooses to believe or not believe hurt anyone else? Are you that insecure in your own beliefs/disbeliefs? This is the very foundation of intolerance. Oh, and I don't care what Krisnamurti said. He's just another man who lived, not an authority on all lives in all times. You cite him as if he was the religious authority, which contradicts your own argument. Shame on all this nonsense over another man's choice of religious sentiments.

A shame that he is a Christian now?!!!! Are you for real? WOW is all i can say to you.

Is he a Christian now??? damn!!! what a disappointment!!! this song has meant a lot to me for its lyrics and it's incredible he now believes in that mythology bullshit!
