[tommy92600]

[vibefrequency]

@bodhiskat

[tomcamp6023]

TMZ has got some good questions. ED can you sing Overcome. Thanks.

[juanitabelle]

[megnkylesmom]

Ed is simply amazing!!

[paul123456789o]

shit.

[zxadafy]

ONLY GOD KNWS EVRYTNG..... LOVE EACH OTHER.. CARE EACH OTHER.. WORLD PEACE

[punksouth123]

Ok...this guys a truly amazing singer, umm..but i gotta say, and i hate to be a critic...i think he missed a note at 1:48 .......anyone here agree with me?

[DannyLoef1]

@punksouth123 He! mr obvious

[arromac]

...As singers go - He doesn't suck. The thick, almost uni-brow needs to go and he needs a song that challenges his vocal talents...

[kvnnn11]

Lol at the part where he missed the note , he acts like it was there lol

[jamezxh]

Geez i'm glad he shaved his head! .. haha Amazing song !

[dante9pl]

nice man - real nice - song is great ur performenc is also good for me

[redfisher71]

Weird he can actually grow Hair.

[liberateuconfiscateu]

wow ! did not know this existed. awesome. off my favourite LIVE album.

[smilegrrrrrl]

Love love LOVE. Thanks for posting! So emotional and touching. Such a raw performance--standing there in the midst of the tragedy.

[dpowanator]

uhg. why do so many singers do the low voice aka creed aka days of the new aka nickelback aka puddle of mudd aka theory of a deadman

[ProfessorEggflesh]

@dpowanator - Ed and +Live+ were around long before any of the other artists were even playing in clubs. If anything, they're all copying his style. Are they supposed to be singing soprano?

[6469345952]

you are holy water,,,,,,love you ,,,,you the best

[thebreakinghands]

so lame Ed sold out and let this song be used as a 9.11 flag waving song although he wrote it before 9.11...how does that square with his message of peace? .very cliche and according his bandmates will do anything for money.

[LongueTiedNoLunger]

@thebreakinghands Agree 100%

[Serranu58]

mate , RESPECT FOR THAT , THAT TAKES BALLS MAN < THAT TAKES BALLS AS DRIVEN6996 said , RESPECT

[MimStar2]

Except for 1.48 :P

[MimStar2]

I love your voice

[ericvonbeconstien]

To the poster and Ed if you read this, that was grand thanks mate. saw you a few times know and each time better. Dont forget your fans when you finish your concert this is imperative to the cause .

[TheCincyMusican]

does he have a unibrow?? thats completely hardcore!!

[TheCincyMusican]

someone get this guy some clippers!

[astit2]

nice! this dude can sing for sure

[majaorca100]

ed with hair...weird

[debbiemc70]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Thank You for posting this video! :)

[driven6996]

That takes real balls to sing that whole song without being accompanied

[smilegrrrrrl]

So moving, so touching, so beautiful.

Oh, and Ed's HAWT.

[bodiem68]

Get the message, hope you're master is in the yard....if you have a yard.

[JohnAnyone]

i love this voice...

[sims22222]

hes awesome

[lizberry81]

This is beautiful. Raw. I love that song.

[pickngrin1975]

Ed has one of the best voices in rock. Period.

[Atergia]

i agree

[Greybro]

That dude, Wow! What can you say about Ed? He's so obviously a musical genius at songwriting and what a performer. He is always so emotionally vested when he sings. It's amazing.

[GreeneMan4]

This is AWESOME! Ed kinda looks like Polly Shore there tho.

[camlayed]

fuck you all. no matter what country you come from, this act was a fucking disgrace, this song helped a few people get through a hard time.

[amberdaughtry]

The FUCKING DISGRACE is ppl like you that have no feel for music of lyrics at all...how the fuck do you know what helped who? and if you dont like it...dont watch it and quit trying to play God cause u suck at it...Live is the best band that has ever came out..they started in the 80's and still going strong...Ed is one of the nicest ppl i've ever ever met! so go screw yourself!!!!!!

[jetsonic69]

Yeah what a time to see a song in front of a big time terrorist attack :(

Its both sad and funny kinda hehehe :) how desperate Ed must of been to have felt that kind of emotional rush to get to New York city and sing Overcome

[bodiem68]

get a view of the whole world. There is a world out of the usa. Ed knows.

[wozwozzick69]

Id never heard of the band "Live" or this song, so this was my first ever taste.. and I think its amazing!!

I admit that it isnt perfect, but then live, unproduced music rarely is! His voice is raw, powerful and beautiful- and his confidence is shown in allowing this raw video to be released. Ive since obtained most of their albums and am making it my mission to introduce "Live" to more people in England, where they are sadly not all that well known.

[zannapics]

Guess you weren't around in 1994.

[wozwozzick69]

I was, but just didnt hear this song. Maybe it was played in the UK at the time, but if it was then I didn't hear it :-(

Its such a shame, but Ive asked almost everyone I know, and not one person has ever heard of this band- which is shocking! They are amazing, and England is missing out!

[peteroywizard]

wozwozzick

You're not alone in the UK liking Live. Bought their album Throwing Copper back in 95 (they were on MTV loads in the UK back in 95) and saw their literally awesome performance at Glastonbury 95. I just think that Ed's voice is absolutely amazing. Whether anyone likes the band or not, surely the quality of his voice cannot be disputed!

[wozwozzick69]

I hadn't heard of Live til recently, and this was my first taste. I had no idea this was a real song or a professional singer, but I loved it! Its not perfect, but then live recorded singing rarely is! I have since got most of their albums and am working my way through. A great band and an amazing voice.

[Woodsballer209]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA haaaa haaaa. Typical, that's all you can come up with timaenot? By the way, learn to spell...it's "Fuck off, you retard."

LIVE rocks!

[timaenot]

No idea of music at all. How come that he allows himself a modulation in the middle of the first strophe? He starts singing in another tonality which he actualy is not able to sustain and suddenly switches in another one... wahhhhh

[Woodsballer209]

Crawl back into your hole...let's hear you sing this, jackass.

[timaenot]

F...k off, you retarded.

[MaBu888]

Did you like the rest of the song? If not then say so. "F...k off, you retarded." I'd never fuck off.

[TimoEngelvaart]

wow, this is beautiful!

[savecicero09]

this song was written long before the buildings went down. The album was already out when they went down.. If fact if you listed to the album the rest of it is very pro middle east. Live has been able to benefit from attacks on America.. this one and Ok city bombings launched lighting crashes. The songs are great enough to live on thier own but they did get a little boost

[JulietsMan]

you need to stop smoking so much hash, you putz.

[Hekirou]

I wouldn't say that they "benefit" from attacks on America. But the rest of what he said was correct. This song was written back during the leadup to The Distance to Here, but was cut from the album and then picked back up for V.

[humdinger77]

Whoa dude, really good.

[burbonboy]

The money train. ending of season 2. anyone Remember that?

[st0ne2thedge]

Omg!!!

this is actually even beter then the original !! :O

[albajn]

Brilliant!

[MommyCE]

This song brings me to tears EVERYTIME and not just becuz they dedicated it to 9/11. Its so beautiful! I listen to it and Ed's voice is so incredible no matter what he's singing, it moves through you in such a way that you can't help but be drawn to the music

[zach11985]

@MommyCE I understand that. The American people are forgetting about 9/11.

[jmcminn]

Brilliant . . fucking brilliant. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[provokedpoptart]

hahaha when he says gates of love and get can't quite get that high note but he just keeps on smiling - priceless

[Evethemagnificent]

the high note was funny haha

[webchic00]

Love, love Ed and his band!

[scottwilks]

incredible!!!!!!

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

Is it just me, or did this man's power and charisma make anyone else dizzy?

[6ixstringed]

I saw him from 30 feet away yesterday, it was incredible, charisma is exactly the word to describe it.

[EmpressOfWyoming58]

I envy you. I don't think anyone else has ever had this kind of effect on me. He has a very strong personal vibe.

[Sillypoint]

It takes a man of talent and vision to stand in the aftermath of great destruction and hate and sing for the fallen and the survivors!

[thechronokills]

that was kinda awkward

[jetsstud]

LOL!

[jetsonic69]

No offense to MR. ED of the great rock band LiVE

but dont you think ? this is kinda like the worst time you could ever think to sing this song ?? in front of the destruction of post sept 11?? :( come on man!

I wish Ed Kowalcyzk could of messed up and laughed during the singing :) have some sick humor after that terrible tragedy to show what a fool he was for even going down to new york city :(

dedicated to serious people who feel bad for what happened to those lost on 9/11

[jxmxxxlxxxndxr]

tacky.

[greyt00]

I cannot listen to this song without getting goosebumps. Ed is amazing and so is +Live+!

[flavarflavluver1]

He's a really good singer but in this video is it the day right after 9/11...sept 12??

[qwiksand]

Eddie is awesome :)

[mismindles]

wow, that was so chilling. Beautiful, but chilling.

[riffmeister76]

Great to see this rough vision from the camera. Awesome thanks for posting

[bjrockgirl]

[chrisdaughtry4life]

[tarduk]
