While Live remains moderately popular in terms of record sales in the United States, much of their current sales come from Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The band has recently enjoyed success outside the United States, especially in Australia and the Netherlands. On Monday, November 30, 2009, guitarist Chad Taylor announced via his personal blog that what was once only a two-year hiatus is more likely a permanent break-up, due to, what he felt, were inappropriate actions by lead singer Ed Kowalczyk.[7
Mental Jewelry is the 1991 debut album by Live, an alternative rock band from York, Pennsylvania. Many of the songs on Mental Jewelry are based on the writings of Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti.
Live's debut album was an impressive set of righteous, hard-driving alternative rock; Mental Jewelry was in the vein of such college-radio favorites as U2, but was more vulnerable and less sanctimonious

had dropped the song "Girls Want to Be With the Girls" from their repertoire but re-visited it after hearing the Slickees' version, which beat the Talking Heads version to vinyl by months.
Some of these songs were later re-recorded for their 1985 album, Uh Oh… No Breaks! (including "Kids", re-titled "When We Were Kids").
