New- Living Colour will be Live at The Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, CA, sunday May 13, 2001 8pm. Tickets are available through the box office at (714) 957-0600 and ticketmaster! Go see the greatest rock band live, why don't ya.
Brief Bio by Adam- Living Colour, one of the most talented groups of the modern era, needs, in my opinion, more representation. With band members Vernon Reid, Corey Glover, Will Calhoun, Muzz Skillings and Doug Wimbish, they proceeded to break down racial barriers up until late 1993 when the group drifted towards seperate creative interests. Being all African American males, they bravely entered a genre uncharted by their peers. Born in Brooklyn, New York, they rose to stardom at the local club scene. They frequented CBGB's, a prominent NYC rock club throughout the 1980's and early '90's. Praised by Rolling Stones front man Mick Jaggar, (who I think is an egotistical dumbass, but thats another story), they landed a record deal with Epic. They expressed their political, racial and social views without negativity or animosity towards others, yet maintained an aggressive musical tone. Living Colour stood for pride, unity and musical greatness. Therefore, I am introducing a Living Colour informative database for all interested eyes. -Adam Teff 8/7/00.
Presented below is a comprehensive collection of show & recording dates tracing back from 1987 to 1993, including the date, location and amount of playing time. This list is a good reference to check bootlegged copies' authenticity. There will definently be more to come, much of the discography is located on the links provided, as well as links to other celebrated international Living Colour web members from Germany to Australia. By the use of Napster, I have connected with a few other very devoted Living Colour fans, who coincidently knew each other through the same method I did. Crazy how the Internet connects people...Keep looking for more updates!
I have been recently on the search for the most rare Mp3's I could find, and have had great success over Napster and eBay, which contains many great items (too bad I still owe the bastards over 40 dollars...). There are many bootlegs and Imports out there, and I want to try to find them. I have all their CDs and shit but I am after the rare stuff. Here is my mp3 collection thus far...
