Live's mix of grunge vigour, accessible alt-rock, and spiritual undertones made them in-demand in the mid-'90s. Over anthems like the rousing “Selling the Drama” or the heavy classic rock riffage of “Simple Creed,” Ed Kowalczyk delivers intense, dynamic performances in which his voice is gravelly one moment and flies the next. He's at his most powerful on the band's dramatic tour de force “Lightning Crashes,” a poignant and impassioned meditation on the circle of life.
