Since forming in middle school in York, PA, Live has become an international success. The band came of age with the release of their debut album, Mental Jewelry (1991). They broke world-wide with the follow-up, Throwing Copper (1994), a multi-platinum No. 1 smash, which spawned the hits “I Alone,” “All Over You,” “Selling the Drama” and “Lightning Crashes.”
Secret Samadhi (1997), propelled by the hit single “Lakini’s Juice,” became Live’s second successive No. 1 album on the Billboard album charts. The Distance To Here (1999) delivered the Top 3 radio single “The Dolphin’s Cry,” and another platinum album. V (2001) followed with the hit single “Overcome,” which was embraced by America following the 9/11 attacks. Birds of Pray (2003) provided the smash hit “Heaven,” which reached No. 2 at radio. After the career-spanning Awake: The Best of Live (2004), the band delivered their seventh studio effort, Songs From Black Mountain(2006). Live just released their first Live CD and DVD Live At The Paradiso—Amsterdam on November 11th, 2008, recorded on June 30th and July 1st, 2008.
The song “Forever” (one of two new studio tracks on the set) is charging up the AAA and Hot AC radio panels in early 2009 and looks to be another smash in the making.

Chad Taylor said of his Dean Markleys:
Dean Markley strings are the best. I ’ve used them for over 10 years and love them. They sound amazing, feel great and are super durable. Thank you Dean Markley!
