On October 12, 2023, LIVE will be performing a special acoustic set at the Paramount Theatre in Vermont.
“Throwing Copper” is the album that propelled +LIVE+ to stardom. Released in 1994, it celebrated its 25th anniversary with a deluxe edition in 2019.

In 1997, LIVE released their fourth studio album, “Secret Samadhi,” which immediately debuted at No. 1 album on the Billboard Top 200. The album achieved double platinum status and spawned hits like “Lakini’s Juice” and “Turn My Head.” With the release of their fifth studio album, “The Distance to Here,” in 1999, LIVE reached new heights of success. The album showcased their evolution as musicians and saw them transition from arenas to stadiums. It became another platinum-selling record and featured the hit singles “The Dolphin’s Cry” and “Run to the Water.”
Despite a hiatus of over a decade, LIVE returned to the music scene in 2018 with the release of their five-song EP, “LOCAL 717.” The new music was met with critical acclaim.
