Note: I am a huge Living Colour fan. I think they are one of the most underrated and overlooked bands ever in the history of rock. They had break out success in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but after they broke up in early 1995 they have fallen below the radar despite reuniting in 2000 and putting out two strong albums since then. I do think rock history will look kindly on them and the use of "Cult of Personality" for the Guitar Hero video game has created a much needed mini-renaissance. I have been keeping track of the band since late 1988. I managed to collect some live material, etc through the years. I have posted some of them here on DIME, but it no particular order. Now I'm in the process of organizing what I have and will post everything in chronological fashion. I know a handful of LC fans will be intersted in this little project. If you don't know the band, pick up the essential albums: "Vivid," "Times Up," "Stain" "Collideoscope" and "Chair In the Doorway" albums and see what you think. Ok, away we go......


Notes: The band's original material was growing stronger at this point. "The Wall Between Us All" was later re-worked as "The Wall" on the band's "Stain" album, with this early version featuring a more mellow vibe, but just as strong, with Glover beautifully singing the lyrics which call for social harmony.
