my pleasure! and yes it was amazing to be back in a concert setting with a live band.. last show I saw before the pandemic was The Glorious Sons. I"m off to see them again in 11 days ;)

@@donnamair They are a great band too. Cheers!

Absolutely correct and i agree in some way however he did mention his name. What he did was just not immeasurable to the band. The disrespect just horrible. He can bang all the women in the world, the trust loyalty as band or maybe a friend. If they were? Sad coz I really like his playing. No disrespect that comes after him.

Looking from the outside, it may have been the "right thing to do" to have him on stage, even at a 10 foot min safe distance. lol However, I don't blame him either and it won't take away from my great respect for him and his music. Tough call.

Absolutely

Ross and Shane had creative differences?

My point exactly on both levels

"So do right to others, as you do to yourself" It's right there in the song, and in the choice we make every morning that we are lucky enough to rise. You can always choose to embrace it.

Apparently for most people the sound is fine so not sure what's up. There is a link up top in the info for the tv wetsuit on CTV website. Try that.

Videotaped off the tv - hoping TSN posts a link to theirs in the next few days- but this will do till then.

Tammy Dorn Turn up your computer volume to, not just YT volume. I turned everything up, with no issues in hearing.

CdnAngelXO my volume on iPad was turned to maximum...I barely hear him at all. Did you not read that part of my first comment. I can't hear it on maximum volume. So glad you can hear it on your computer, it really helps me out a lot.

Tammy Dorn lol I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to come across as rude. I thought by maximum volume that you meant YT max volume. Sorry for the confusion. Tom sounded amazing, hopefully you were able to hear the song at the CTV link that was posted. Such a beautiful rendition of Big League.

Glad you found it :) and I was at that show too! row 2 far right side of the stage. I kind of missed Mind Flood but so loved having them play Brother down so Sam could dance his ass off! AND get into the audience.. security wouldn't let us get close to the stage boo! nice that Sam jumped in to connect with us at the end.

nightMair Creative awesome! We're you at the end by the aisle? Did you look up and wave at the end? I missed seeing Mind Flood too which made me find your video! It was such a great show and yes I agree it was so awesome to see him connect with fans at the end! Such a good man with a great heart. (and ever since empire of the sun played at the Orpheum they haven't let any fans get up close to the stage - boo!)

I have a photo from the dress circle of someone waving and I thought it might be you by coincidence

You're deaf, obviously.

Don Peasley his personal choices have nothing to do with his abilities as a musician. Ross Childress the musician is great. Ross Childress the person may not so much.

+Justin McCartney hey Justin do we know each other??

+nightMair Creative We've chatted a bit through here, insta, FB etc but never met. We were griping about that moron who jumped on stage during the last Trews show at Flashbacks.

+Justin McCartney ah!! i remember you!

+sonic jet aint never gonna happen. life moves on

What are you on about, he clearly mentioned his name. As Ed said in a concert one time "That's the guy that broke up my family".

Larissa Hamilton haha me too! they were pretty decent guys to have doing security

Justin McCartney tell me about it :( me too.

and was their best guitarist.

Well . . . he did leave the band under some pretty ugly circumstances. I can see why they didn't mention him. He is my favorite guitarist out of the 90s.

***** Actually Ed did say his name

Pheonixfirebird1 yes, I know. Anywase, he was overlooked.

They mentioned ross.

hmm… if someone cheated on you with your wife would you want them on stage with you? just saying.

yeah...didn't think about that part of it hehe but his playing has nothing do with that.

nightMair Creative that's a rumor

You are completely correct, Ross needs to be there.

Not happy

Considering what Ross did to Ed you can't blame Ed at all. There was no way Ross could stay in the band. It's definitely one of the worst things that's happened to music, but it happened and there's no going back.

TheBathy44 Sorry that's completely untrue, he didn't make Ed. Ed is Collective Soul or should I say Collective Soul is Ed. 95% of all the songs were written by him, hell, he even produced half the stuff as well. Next time check the songwriting credits before you go all postal. Better or worse their sound has simply evolved, artists wanna try new musical things or they get bored. Now that said, I love Ross' playing and sound - esp being a PRS guy but if he did to me what he did to Ed, I'm sorry you don't betray a friend/bandmate like that and expect a reward later.. He made his bed (pun intended) now lie in it.

just because Ed was smart enough to put his name in the credits doesnt mean he wrote and produced it all by himself.. especially the last few albums. kind of ironic that a band with 20 yrs history would only have one member accredited to the creation of all those songs dont you think?

Songwriting credits work a certain way; obviously the band develops the sound and the arrangements, but that doesn't mean that Ed isn't the guy who writes the melodies, chords and lyrics.

Ross Childress deserves ZERO credit,. What do you not get? This band was founded by the Roland's on a Christian based premise and Ross blew that crap straight out of the water..You want recognition for Ross? Go see The Ross Childress project! That's right! Didn't work , did it! Dude rode on coat tails and screwed people over. I am ashamed to carry his last name.

Linda Sue, I was merely making a comment. If what everyone says is true, then of course he's a scumbag, but that doesn't diminish the fact that they were better with him because he was an important part of the band. 1) lead singer 2) songwriter 3) Lead guitar player. You can't deny that.

Linda Sue i understand the sentiment behind your comment… esp in light of how Ross left the band but a few things come to mind. Ed didn't found the band on a christian premise - he has stated this time and time again in interviews over the last 25 yrs. They're preachers sons and that's as far as it went. Ed also didn't found the band.. Dean took Ed's 'demos' and sent them to a college station unknown to Ed, and suddenly he had to 'toss a band together' to play Woodstock II.. hence asking his brother, and his friends from church and the recording studio he worked at (Will's Dad).. Ross was indeed one of the talents of the group. Ed is a gifted writer and composer, but Ross brought guitar licks that nobody could dream of.. so give him some credit. And if you want to get really picky - Ross's solo project was not as successful as collective soul, but most solo projects arent. Ed's Sweet Tea Project is great - but nowhere near the world wide success of Collective Soul.. If U2, or The Stones or any other super group did solo stuff - most times it doesnt do as well.. the sum is greater than each man by himself. and finally.. if the band indeed was based on Christian objectives.. is not Forgiveness (and the title of one of my favourite CS songs btw) is not Forgiveness a christian mandate?

nightMair Creative Bottom line, Ross Childress, completely overlooked. Disrespectful.

Bottom line: Ross Childress screwed Ed's wife..Ed wins. Both are gone.
