hahninator Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Linkin Park kicks off their Asian leg of their fall tour in Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong. Chek Lap Kok is an island in Hong Kong where the Hong Kong International Airport sits. The Asia-World Expo is also located there, which contains the Asia-World Arena - the spot of the Linkin Park show. Hong Kong, a former British territory and a current city-state of China (like Macao) is the only spot in China where LP will be playing this fall. The band has played there twice before, once in 2004 (show page here) and then on the 5th show of their 2007 Asian Tour (show page here). As we all know, Linkin Park played two warm-up shows, one being the Secret Show for Japan, in Las Vegas (show page here) and Los Angeles (show page here) last week. The setlists were a variation of Europe's B16 set but came with one surprise: the return of 'Cure For The Itch' for the first time since the last show of Projekt Revolution 2008. This is the version they debuted in Mountain View, CA in 2007 (show page here) - what we call the "MTM Tour Version": In Los Angeles, LP dropped 'Empty Spaces' and 'When They Come For Me' for the first time since they were introduced to the setlists in October 2010 in Buenos Aires, Argentina (show page here). They instead replaced them with 'The Messenger', which wasn't played at all in Europe (except for the acoustic part of the LPU Summit in Hamburg - show page here). The last time it was played at a regular show before Los Angeles was in Phoenix on the winter tour (show page here) - a nice six month break for the song. We've all also seen Pooch's posts on Facebook... "Loading out after successful rehearsal. Worked on some new stuff for upcoming Asia shows. YAY." and "Different set lists at some shows. Can't tell you what they will be, but definitely different from Europe." It's well known that LP usually practices their "well known" sets at the beginning of the tour though, so it's possible Hong Kong will get another setlist variation that they played in Vegas and LA. However, at some point during this tour I think it's safe to say we'll be getting something awesome. What do you guys think it will be? Will they debut 'Robot Boy' finally? Will they drop in 'With You', like they've been hinting at over the past year? Or will we get something else? What would you like LP to surprise us with? Who from LPLive is headed to the Hong Kong show? M&G for anyone for the first show? Or perhaps some live updates during the show? After a day off on the 7th, LP plays in Seoul, Korea on the 8th before doing five in a row in Japan. This tour is sure to be an exciting one, with a three-day LPU Summit coming in Tokyo as well as an Indonesian show and plenty more. All of the 2011 fall tour dates can be found here - be sure to check back here on LPLive for full coverage of the entire tour, as always! SETLIST: 01. The Requiem 02. Faint 03. Lying From You 04. Given Up 05. What I've Done 06. No More Sorrow 07. From The Inside 08. Jornada Del Muerto 09. Waiting For The End 10. Burning In The Skies 11. Numb 12. The Radiance (Live Version) 13. Iridescent 14. Fallout 15. The Catalyst 16. Shadow Of The Day 17. In The End 18. Bleed It Out (w/ 'A Place For My Head' & drum solo bridge) ---------------------------------------- 19. Empty Spaces 20. When They Come For Me 21. Papercut 22. New Divide 23. Crawling 24. One Step Closer Quote
Andros Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Well I hope this setlist be different from the other 2 previous shows and I hope we can get something different Quote
daniel624 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Me and larisa, another LPL member, are going to the show + LPU M&G I'll try to provide live updates Quote
linkin_boss Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Me and larisa, another LPL member, are going to the show + LPU M&G I'll try to provide live updates good to know it ... hopefully we will finally get something interesting in that setlist Quote
airninja81 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I'm starting to think that Robot Boy would never be played live Quote
Geki Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 It will probably be the same set as the last two shows with the addition of When They Come For Me. Quote
levisa92 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 *finally I remember this account login name and now I can use back this account here lol* yea as daniel said I'll go to this show and the m&g as well, hope I can put some updates to you guys, I try my best. my twitter will be the way I put updates, my twitter link is on my signature Quote
virusx360 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Cure For The Itch (MTM Tour Version) = The Cure [from the Album STUDIO FINALS] Quote
Lpowa Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I don't think they'll play RB before Japan, so I predict they'll the same set as Vegas or LA. Quote
LPU90 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) I'm sure they'll play the same set but maybe they switch some songs I want wretches and kings back but I doubt it. Edited September 5, 2011 by LPU90 Quote
DecanoLP Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 It will probably be the same set as the last two shows with the addition of When They Come For Me.Agreed. Quote
hahninator Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 Cure For The Itch (MTM Tour Version) = The Cure [from the Album STUDIO FINALS] Not even close to the same thing at all. The Cure is a CFTI demo basically and CFTI MTM Tour Version is a remix. They don't even sound the same. I think same set here as Vegas. Robot Boy in Japan when they do ATS front to back (another prediction). Quote
StaticXero Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 i think, the only new things are new intros/outros and another setlist arrangement... Quote
rav0k Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 i think, the only new things are new intros/outros and another setlist arrangement... Shame on Linkin Park for not creating brand new songs for every single show that they play. Quote
Astat Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Cure For The Itch (MTM Tour Version) = The Cure [from the Album STUDIO FINALS] They use some of the same "alternate" voice samples at the beginning, but no, they are definitely not identical. Quote
Xero21 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) It will probably be the same set as the last two shows with the addition of When They Come For Me. I'd say for the first couple shows, this is correct. But Pooch said new stuff is coming, and we can agree he's a pretty reliable source, am I right? So I think it's safe to say we'll get something during this tour. Edited September 6, 2011 by Xero21 Quote
daniel624 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 It's 2:45pm here in Hong Kong LP is scheduled on stage in 5 hours and 15 minutes I'm so excited!!! Quote
RiderSSPU Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Awesome, so when I wake up the setlist will be here Have fun if your going Quote
Geki Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 When I wake up, I hope something cool happened. Robot Boy!! It will never happen though. At least not at this show 99% likely. Quote
StaticXero Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Shame on Linkin Park for not creating brand new songs for every single show that they play. shame on every band that don't play a new song on every new show a good old song would be acceptable Whens the show? LP will hit the stage in 3 hours (Post by daniel624) Edited September 6, 2011 by StaticXero Quote
