That's fair enough. I remember those mess-ups, some of them have been pretty loud and funny (infuriating for Mike, maybe). But if I was the musician, I just would not like if people were tracking my mistakes for years.
 

I get that you've done it in the spirit of archiving as much data as possible, but it's just a little inconsistent considering how many small screw ups the rest of the band does. For  instance, Colin missed a snare hit at the end of Faint yesterday too. Phoenix played extra notes on the first verse of Two Faced today. There'd be a lot to track.
 

Also considering Joe might pretty much be personally responsible for setting LP 2.0 in motion 😅 We owe him alot, we should give the guy a break

This is all stuff we WOULD put a note for, it's just a matter of we can't always find 100% of the little mistakes that happen between shows, so we list what we can confirm. Largely with bass/guitar mistakes, those are brief/hidden enough to not really warrant. But then look at this OSC in 2012 where it seems Rob fucked it up and confused Brad and Phoenix too: 

 

 

No ill intent meant, the main purpose is to show the differences between each show. Joe messing up an intro is more of a welcome tradition at this point than us complaining lol. Even the band jokes around with each other about the mistakes every so often.

 

Since we're bringing up mistakes, I'll present my personal favorites, coincidentally both 'Burn It Down' - the first one has a pre-recorded instrumental in 2016 with just Chester and Joe where so much somehow goes wrong, and the second is the infamous 2014 Brazil show where everything went wrong lol (Mike plays in the wrong key at the start, Joe misses the cue because Mike stops playing, the whole band forgets they are playing a shortened version of the song). Chester even says at the end: "That was interesting" and then he and Mike both laugh it off. They're professionals - they have a good laugh about it and move on, probably don't think about it a few seconds later.
