Feeling The Heat
The Dan Reed Network's third album, The Heat (1991), was their biggest success in the UK, but their American record label still hadn't figured out how to promote the band. The label was unhappy that Reed had shaved off of his long dark hair, which they had viewed as a prime marketing attraction. The band soldiered on without tour support from Mercury/Polygram, including a stint supporting the Baby Animals in Australia, and what would be their final tour through Europe and the UK in the summer of 1993. In October 1993, the band members were starting to take different paths in their lives, but agreed to go on a hiatus and not officially break up.
A live album called Live at Last was released in 1997. This album was compiled from hundreds of hours of tapes from keyboardist Blake Sakamoto. He and drummer Dan Pred auditioned several versions of each song to comprise a comprehensive 2-CD live set. A companion video, filmed live in Portland on New Year's Eve of 1991, also called Live at Last, was released as well.

who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;”
