My god! The video just wouldn't be cool without our noises!
The night's as hot as hell. It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town - I'm staring at a goddess. She's telling me she
wants me. I'm not going to waste one more minute wondering how I've gotten this lucky. She smells like angels ought to smell, the perfect
woman... the Goddess. Goldie. She says her name is Goldie.

"Don't you just hate pants"
You know, next to the first time I had ever seen this band, this was the best. There was something about tonight that was different from all the rest.
It felt like one of those concerts that you pay alot of money to go see. There were alot of people, everyone was chearing and clapping and the band
actually played more than 8 songs. What a fucking night.
They recorded the whole show with all of the camera guys shooting it, btw. First they played "Test Run" for the first time, then they went
on and played "I could fall", "at the seams", "shaded", "In circles", "Watch it die",
"Egzit", amazing new track with cool riffage that I can't remember the name, "Test run" again and thank god "The
Tide". That's probably not the exact order, but it's close enough.
I thought for sure they had to cut "the tide" out because of time contraints, so I was so happy that they played it. I guess I thought
that because they were supposed to play "test run" first and last.
Apparently the click track broke and they were having a little trouble getting the proper tempo. I found that only noticable a couple times. Hopefully
that won't post any problems for syncing up the video.
Well, that's all I should say for now. Thanks again for the drinks and smokes Joel.

Because I decided to go and see Kevin Fox play C'est What before the show I missed most of Test Run. The turnout was absolutely incredible for a
Club 279 show. Got harder to take pictures as there wasn't much room at all to move around in front.
The guys are louder, sounding heavier and certainly more commanding on stage now. All eyes on them the whole time. F'n right!
The entusiasm portrayed by the crowd there certainly doesn't seem to be reflected in this thread. Where the hell is everybody that saw the set?
Why is that people only seem to post reviews of the all ages shows? Quite disappointing that no one even said a thing abuot the July 23rd show.
Sorry if I sound cranky right now... work sucks donkey balls.
can I find my faults // leave them and start // to find myself?

The only posssible explanation is that most of the people in the crowd were actually fans of the other bands.
But sounds like they really enjoyed the livid experience.

I doubt that, Mark. Only because most of the other bands I saw had just a very small handful of people watching them. As soon as the livid were
getting ready to play, the crowd started to pack in.
As many people as I saw there, I can only think of about 3 or 4 board members that I saw. Joel, Ish and I think Allison was there, but I don't
know what she looks like...plus myself. It's just that most of their harcore fans from this message board are still not legal drinking age.
It's funny that Justin mentioned his "www" issues. I was just thinking that when he said it. I don't think I have ever seen
them live where he doesn't say to check out "ww.thelivid.com".

Yup, I was there Chris! I was standing behind you for part of the set after being ousted from my original spot by some super tall drunk and disorderly
guys. I took a few pictures but there were too many people (including the cameramen!) in my way to get any good shots. As Ish said, the band
definitely commanded the crowd's attention. I friggen love the direction they're taking with the heavier sound. They were really tight and
all of the new songs sound amazing. I was really happy with the enthusiasm the crowd showed and can't wait to see the video! Did any of you
catch First Time Fallen's set? I thought they were only supposed to start at 9:00 and ended up missing all but two of the songs they played. I
was heartbroken! I adore those guys.

You should have said 'hi' or something, Allison. I just don't know what you look like, or I would have said something.
I heard the last "first time fallen" song when I was walking in. It's a shame, I'd like to have seen them, too.
I completely agree about the new sound of the band. Justin was saying to me that they decided to take out the screams he was doing in "the
tide" and decided to sing the words instead. I was a bit concerned at first, but once again the band was right on with their choice. The Chorus
never sounded better. And they do keep the scream in at the very end, which I hear is going to blow our minds on the CD.

dont release joel and his cousin out on the city. we ousted more than just spots that night.
yeah. i was there. good tunes. good times with the friends. it was nice to see the boys, although i didn't really get a chance to talk to
them in great length.
double down,

Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am
amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record:
you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet
had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him
of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are
now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

hey guys...
just wanted to give a big shout out to all that the peeps that were at the show on friday. I really do appreciate the turn out. The crowd was pumped
and as a result the band was really into it. The footage for the video should be kick ass and i am eager to get to the editing. You guys truly showed
that the livid is a killer band.
thanks again

What A Killer Crowd on Friday
Hey everyone,
I just want to say that the show on Friday was amazing. The crowd was great...full of energy and I was feeding off of it....thanks. The turnout for
our video shoot was fantastic and I was told that 64dollar Productions got some great footage to use...I'm real excited about it. What I really
was impressed by was that I recognized almost every single person in the first 3 to 4 packed rows in front of the stage. It was nice to see familiar
faces singing the lyrics with me and letting us know once again that we have some of the most supportive fans out there. The band can't wait to
have the new record all ready to go very soon for you to enjoy. It's about time we get the record in your hands, we owe you that after the long
wait. We hope to play many shows in the near future to promote our record and we hope to see you all out there. We'll let you know immediately
when we have finalized our plans for our CD Release Show. Rock on!!
Take it easy, Justin

I haven't posted in a while, but after this show, it wouldn't be fair not to. (For those of you that didn't know me, I was the guy
selling merch while the band was playing). I've been checking out The Livid's gigs for over a year now, hosting one of them myself, and I
can say, by far, this was the absolute BEST show they've put on since I've been watching them. One thing I can definitely notice is the
amazing amount of confidence Justin is showing these days. His stage presence has changed from somewhat "shy" to completely comfortable
and it makes the whole band that much more awesome to watch. Chris, too, shows he is getting very much into the groove of singing, as his voice rings
out clearer everytime he's there to harmonize. I thought that was something the boys would lose when Christian left, but wow, has Chris ever
filled that gap. Rob's bass lines are so damned clean, and Adam is amazing as always. This show was intense. I've never seen that big a
crowd in front of the boys and it was so very obvious that they were feeding off the energy. As Justin said to me, it's so much more fun playing
in front of a huge crowd. If any of you guys can make it out to any more of the shows with all your friends then do it. The guys really deserve it,
cause as you've all seen they put on an AMAZING set. Can't wait till the Video comes out of this show. I'm first in line for a copy.
Cheers.
