I've told MANY people this over the past few years. Back when CS was all over the charts, I NEVER really cared that much for them. Some of their songs I found to be ok to GOOD, but just never really "got into them". Until...
I saw this on HBO one night a few years ago, and my mind was DRAMATICALLY changed in an instant. To see how they reacted to the concert goers and even MORE so how they interacted with the ASYO made me INSTANT and LIFE LONG FAN! Such ENERGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@RonCheneler- Sorry dude, the lyrics fit the burden of social programs on the tax payers (tea partiers) who are tired of shouldering the burden. The five dislikes are from Obama supporters.
did these guys breal up???i saw them on TV playing a song that bordered on incoherent with only the singer looking familiar.GREAT SONG.A real throwback to the classic rock days.
Thank you..Thank you...Thank you nolimits67 for posting Collective soul performing with the atlanta symphony youth orchestra...Kerry,,Buffalo New York..
other good thing about collective soul is that their lyrics are too deep..modern shakespeare i must say..the art of poetry is lost nowadays..ed roland inspire me to write more and more
I love these guys. Obviously the "orchestra" in the back ground put forth a solid effort. If you listen to a few more of the songs in the performance, you will have no doubt that this was a kick a** concert.
@ccmusicfan1 I agree, it was a solid effort. Right from the beginning of the show with Counting The Days. What a cool idea and these kids must have loved every minute of it.
I dont think they are GODS in the vein of Sabbath or the WHo or Hendrix, but this song is god-like. Whats with that horrible orchestra - sorry, bad idea...
Collective Soul continues to preach the gospel of classic rock n roll,a blessing to continue the legacy- Unlike rap crap, which is a poor excuse for music. Ed and the boys-keep rocking on!!!
I love how into it the conductor gets! Also in Shine I love it when an asian kid on violin is rocking out, rocking back & forth in his chair!
What a mondo-thrill for the kids getting to share the stage & bright lights with such a top notch band! What a cool thing to do and killer way to get the next generation of artists in place!
Right there with you magellun. A few years shy of "fiddy" but my formative years were in the 70s. There's been a few (very few) bands who would've fit right in to the eclectic 70s music scene.
You know man, when "Disco Sucks!" was chanted @ every show. Yet it was totally cool to listen to Nugent & EWF. Rush & Jonny Guitar Watson. ACDC & Steely Dan, Heart & Billy Joel, Zep & CSN.
Of course corporatized compartmentalized FM radio & more corporporatized, mtv music ended that!
@magellun ME TOOOO. I will be turning 54 in May and I have loved this band since I first discovered them in the 90s. I am a classic rocker too and I know what you mean. I only wish they would come to Long Island in the near future but they're not scheduled to. I saw them at a college here maybe 13 or 14 yrs back and they were incredible.
Amazing. I prefer the regular version, but always nice to hear something new and well done. Those are some lucky kids to be a part of playing a song this great with the actual band.
I dissagree, i think it only adds to the awesomeness. Its like when X Japan did theyre concert with a live orchestra, that shyt was some amazing metal, but it just made it even more epic.
rap sucks...end of story. bogus techno beats that repeat over and over again while some guy professes his love for whores and his desire to kill "pigs"?
Stop being ignorant. Rap is just as much music as Rock is. Saying Rap isn't Music is like racism, or sexism. It's so bias. Just because you and a group of people don't like it does NOT mean it's not music. I happen to like Rock AND Rap, and I listen to all kinds of music other than that. It's people like you that are the bane of society.
haha cRap sucks lol. thought i'd just join in. but i am pretty sure its mroe than 6 percent. lol. love collective soul. nice grungy alternative sound. very enjoyable. and the orchestra is a huge plus
lol you're all right, it makes it 'epic' as it should be, and i also love how it has like 5 versions, i love this band because they play BETTER live than they do in studio.
estuve en el monumental de lima,puedo decir q no extrañe a los ex integrantes, Joel Kosche la rompio, y Ryan bien en la bateria cobn la misma energia de siempre,gracias CS por venir y ofrecernos un gran concierto
Es cierto, Joel la rompe definitivamente y Ryan es mas expresivo que Shane Evans. Collective está en lo mejor de su carrera actualmente y me enorgullezco de haberlos visto en vivo y en directo. Bien pagadas mis 157 lucas!!!
Que superguitarrista que fue Ross Childress para Collective Soul, su sola presencia era impresionante. Y la forma de construir los ritmos de la guitarra, poquisimas veces escuchada, quizá comparada con el gran Eddie Van Halen!!!.
