Rock bands of the 1990s had something , they had a revolutionary sound that symbolized another generation of angry displaced socially confused youths about at a time in our American culture when being cool, being an individual really meant something and this music from Live was part of it . IT WAS BASICALLY REBEL WITH A CAUSE MUSIC , you know what im saying? :)
Secret Samadhi was truly a spiritual rock album that brings back the sound and spirit of Led Zepplin . I really liked it ! LiVE rock on forever , with or without ED :)
@riffmeister76 even they said they had no idea what the fuck it's about which in my mind is a good thing. Everyone has their own interpritation of the songs which makes it unique.
Good song, good album, although a little slow and dull at times, but the only real issue I ever had with them is Ed's live performances vocally. He tries to do too much and strays too far from the original melody and just kind of sounds like a mess. Doesnt matter now though, they broke up.
@trenken That what I love about his live performance. EVery performance is a unique take on the original tune. If you wanna hear it just like the album then open your itunes.
@trenken Also treneken you must remember that the older a song gets the more its morphs into something different not just for the enjoyment of the listeneres but for the sanity of the poor guys that have to play it 100 times a year on stage. When he sings the newer songs the performances are more like the orginals. Check out Bono sining old U2 songs. Same deal. Hasnt hurt him any...

it depends what u consider a solo,...or a 'traditional ' one more to the point......if u want something thats fast and shows off the ability of the player than u defo wont get that in live,.....but i think this solo is superb cos it complimets the song brilliantly,and add another dimension to it......not something stev vai,for all his ability, has ever been able to grasp!!! lol
There's nothing wrong with the guitar solo. Its part of the song that makes it so great. Love this band, I've just got "Awaka" their best of album and it actually has all their best songs on it.
I saw them twice recently and they played Turn My Head, Lakinis Juice from this album. I really really wanted Freaks but I already knew the song gets no play :o( ... and I would have liked this. Also, they didnt play pain lies on the riverside or operation spirit which I thought was odd.. Atleast play one of those songs atleast one night. makes you wonder.
Only problem with that is the songs on that album arent really very concert friendly. Many of them are very slow and dull, for lack of a better word. Good studio album, not great concert songs.
Great video, helluva song, though I have to say, Live's new albums don't hold up as well as their early ones. Secret Samadhi in particular, still sounds fresh to me, while some of the stuff they did after sounds a bit dated.
Just an absolutely great song from Live. You can feel the passion and intensity that was their signature sound on TC and SS. Brilliant!

Secret Samadhi is such an odd album. Brilliant in its own right but so different from what came before and after it from these boys

I love Live, but there is a reason they dont have solos in their songs, ...and I think we all just saw why !

well, they do have solos in their songs. But if they wouldnt (like you expected, what was your reason - I can't see it)

I cant think of more than 4 or 5 Live song with anything I would consider a traditional guitar solo.
