(11/29/99, 6 p.m. ET) - Live singer Ed Kowalczyk would probably love for his brother Adam to be with the band for their tour of Europe. In fact, Adam is lending much-needed support on guitar, leaving Kowalczyk free to roam the stage and concentrate on fan interaction. The band just ended the first leg of tour dates last weekend, and Kowalczyk tells LAUNCH Radio Networks that he had a blast, thanks to the extra help.

"It's been great [with] Adam and Michael 'Railo' Railton, who's playing keyboards...it's been really wonderful," he tells LAUNCH. "I think that the live show is at a totally different level. I think what Railo adds, what my brother adds [is] they're both great singers. So, everybody's singing. Everybody's totally giving their heart and soul to these new songs. It's a wonderful show. It really is."

Live plans to return to the U.S. in January for a second tour leg in support of the new album, The Distance To Here.
