live was actually my first concert, age 13/14 with my dad, saw them several years later in a shitty club in Raleigh, NC, then four (!) times opening for the counting crows back when i was dating a girl obsessed with the latter.
i can defend some of mental jewelry (esp. beauty of gray and the mirror song), most of throwing copper (even pillar of davidson, i can't help it, when they played that song in Raleigh i felt like i was in the middle of a Promise Keepers convention, and I strangely enjoyed it), Lakini's Juice is definitely still worthy, and yes Dolphin's Cry is OK (not just for laughs) - haven't heard a thing off the last two albums though, and don't plan to.
band's defining moment : the playing of "dam at otter creek" during a particularly harrowing desert scene in the pauly shore vehicle "in the army now"

My sister and me would always count the number of times Ed K touches his head in the "I Alone" video. It was tricky cuz sometimes it would like he was about to and then he'd change his mind. I think he wasn't used to been entirely shorn yet.

In addition to a few mentioned here, "TBD" (for Tibetan Book of the Dead, yes, pretentious) was an OK song. And their MTV Unplugged wasn't that bad.
X-post - I saw them once (and apparently this happens at all the shows) but the audience always claps along to Lightning Crashes, and because it's such a slow song they inevitably get off beat, and the result is a hilarious arythmic jumble.

You could probably do a whole series of sadness on these 90s type bands from second hand stories I have heard that was in the orbits of Saliva, Days of the New and Kenny Wayne Shepard let alone the more public melt downs.

Behind the scenes, however, the band was falling apart. Taylor says Kowalczyk insisted on taking the lion’s share of the publishing money since he was writing most of the songs, causing tension between him and Taylor that never truly went away. On Live’s next album, in 1999, Taylor says, the singer went further, telling the band he would write the songs entirely by himself, using them as mere support musicians. “That ended my creativity in the band,” says Taylor, still pained by the memory. “I felt like a married couple where someone says, ‘I’m no longer going to have sex with you. But we’ll stay married.’ It was one of the saddest moments of my life.”

i am 99% sure i have never heard "Lightning Crashes" until right now, as it plays on youtube as i type this. "I Alone", that one i heard a lot.
