Live rose to success on the strength of their anthemic music and idealistic, overtly spiritual songwriting, two hallmarks that earned the group frequent comparisons to U2.

The group’s roots stretched back to the early ’80s, when future members Chad Taylor (guitar), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass), and Chad Gracey(drums) began playing together under the name First Aid while attending middle school in York, Pennsylvania.

After losing an area talent contest, they decided to enlist singer Ed Kowalczyk, and as a foursome the group played under a series of names before settling on Public Affection.

After earning a rabid local following, Public Affection released a cassette, 1989’s The Death of a Dictionary. Shows at CBGB and other famed New York clubs followed, eventually earning them a demo deal with Giant Records that proved unsuccessful.

The completed demo did earn them a deal with Radioactive, however, and before drawing their new name out of a hat, Live recruited Talking Head Jerry Harrison to produce their 1991 debut, Mental Jewelry.

A collection of songs based on the writings of Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti, the record made Live one of the key players in the post-Nirvanaalternative music scene thanks to singles like “Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition)” and “Pain Lies on the Riverside.”
