    Saw them in February of this past year at a small venue in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Everyone in the band is so nice, especially Ed. Their tour bus was parked right outside the venue so you can see the band and crew walk from their bus into the venue and vice versa. I like to show up to venues extremely early, to make sure I get a spot at the rail and to get a chance to meet the band. Doors didn’t open till 6 but Ed saw me and another dude waiting outside since before 1:30pm and he came right up to us and introduced himself to us and talked with us for a bit and took pictures with us. I did meet and greet with the band before the show and Ed told the band how I had been waiting outside since early afternoon. Then they proceeded to rock the small venue as best as they could. It was an AMAZING show! One I’ll never forget!😁✌🏼😎

      @@DeathMetalDerf that was my thought too. So down to earth and engaged with fans. While a bunch of people were waiting in line about half an hour before doors opened, or before they let in VIP ticket holders, they went up to all of us in line and talked with us, took pictures, etc. They loved playing at the venue there, Culture Room if anybody wants to look it up. It’s tiny, and they loved playing there because it was way more intimate, closer to the crowd. Even after the show, they stayed behind to sign stuff for fans and take more pictures and went to a bar right next to the venue and drank with fans. Show was 10/10, dudes were 10/10, and 100% I would go see them again.

    Shine was the reason I finally got into playing guitar. Have always loved them and Ed has been one of the two biggest influences on me, musically. I've seen them multiple times, and the first was the most special. I had just moved to the city and was unable to get a ticket as it was sold out. I went to their autograph signing to at least get my Dosage CD signed. In doing so, and talking with the band, Will asked me if I was going to be at the show. I said unfortunately not and explained why. He asked for my name and left two tickets for me at the door. It was so surreal and an amazing experience. It was also my first"real" concert given I had just moved here from a small town. Since then, I've seen them five more times, met them two additional times during that, and have one of my acoustic guitars signed by the band. Mostly worn off now, but it's the memory that matters most.

    I really liked a few of their singles back in the 90's (when I was in my 20's) but it wasn't until 2014 that I checked out some of their songs that didn't get radio play. I was checking out a new living room amplifier. It was the first time I had ever spent serious $$ on an amp and I was pretty impressed by how big/clean power changed the sound of my system. A friend of mine came over that day and brought some music along...he handed me the "Dosage" CD...and that was it. It was a head smacker..."how did I miss out on this band for my entire adult life?" Dosage blew me away...cool sound, cool tunes and superb recordings. In the next few weeks, I owned all Collective Soul albums. Another unique gem from the South. They are one of my favorites to this day.

    "The World I Know" came out when I was in high school, and to this day is one of my favorite songs. It spoke to me then, and still does. I love the balance between the 12 string acoustic, electric guitar, violins and cellos, with Ed's rich, dynamic vocals-it's absolutely perfect. Collective Soul helped shape me during my formative years in the mid-late 90's more than most. I also got to see a small private show by Collective Soul in 2015 at a company event in the Grand America Hotel in SLC, Utah (one of our employees is a close friend of Ed's). All the comments about Ed and his bandmates being kind and down to earth are absolutely true. They could have easily played a handful of songs and been on their way-but instead, they played every single hit and then some with the same energy they would for a sold out stadium. They even invited one of my co-workers up on stage to play drums for one of their songs, and another co-worker yelled out that he "knew how to play cowbell," so they brought him up and gave him something to hit like a cowbell for the entire song. We need more people in the industry like these guys.

      Saw them live in 1998. I've seen many bands live... Metallica, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Bob Dylan, etc.
      Seeing CS live in 1998 is one of my top 3 favorite lives shows of all time

    LOVE CS! Such a great band. Beautiful melodies, personal, thought-provoking lyrics and good energy. They have 4 platinum albums yet always seem overlooked and forgotten. Got to see them live- finally, around 10 years ago. Ed's an awesome frontman and they sounded great. Newest album, Vibrating, is really good and like a long-lost 90's album of theirs.

    When they started their Dosage Tour, first stop I was security for the concert in Milwaukee, Wi. I already bought the CD because I loved the song "Run". And I knew the owner of the theater and got in to see them Free, again because I was security...well one of them. It was GREAT!!

    They're criminally underrated. The band has put out some incredible tracks, many of which were never released as singles. Their library peaked with Dosage, but there are some gems to be found after.
    They still put on a solid show and they're so infectiously positive when you see them, it's hard not to walk out of the venue with a smile.

    We saw Collective Soul a couple years ago with 3 Doors Down and Soul Asylum. They ended their set with the song RUN, which my wife had never heard before. She nearly cried. My wife wanted to initially go because of 3DD, but she left a huge fan of Collective Soul. I already was. Great band, great show.

      Funny enough, an old girlfriend of mine used to make fun of me for loving Collective Soul.
      One day I emailed (in the early days of email) her a "poem."
      She wrote me back and said that it made her cry because the poem was so poignant. That's when I told her that the poem was the lyrics to the CS song, "Run." She felt kind of duped, but became a CS fan after that.

    Collective Soul was of its time . When most alternative rock groups of their era were grim and depressing; it was a novel idea to become the grunge Beatles .
    The 1990s were an optimistic time in America with seemingly endless and dazzling hope and possibilities, and in which wholesome and not so family acts could flourish .
    Collective Soul was the soundtrack of my teen years .

    Man Collective Soul are one of those bands that hits real close to home for me! The self titled album was the only cassette and only album I had left when I was homeless in '95 for a short time. (still have the cassette I think to this day) Mainly because it was in my Walkman at the time. So that band and album holds so many precious memories of hardship and attempted suicide during that time. I was 20 years old at the time and now I'm 49. God and that album really helped me out of my rut and I'm so very thankful for that! Thanks so much for doing a video on this wonderful, unique and amazing talented band! God Bless!
