Key quotes
· 5 pulledI saw Live twice in the '90s.
My story is not unique.
Live played a great many shows during the '90s.
They toured hard, and they ended up on a lot of festival bills.
If you were even halfway interested in alternative rock during that decade, and you were at an age where you were going to shows, you probably saw Live too.
