Let me apologize to begin withI've given up Let me apologize for what I'm about to say Not quite the bridge, but you get the idea... Here's hoping for a setlist change in Adelaide.

Enough to give us BITS and Blackout but not enough to give us decent supporting acts?

Just a note on Crawling, this is the first time in quite a while where Mike has sung the Reanimation harmony during the final chorus.

It doesn't sound like the studio version, that I'm sure of. The "female" voice is louder than the rest of the "Ooh" vocals in the mix. Then when it gets to the first "sins of our hand", you can hear the wobble like someone straining to hit the note. Then the voice drops in volume for the next line. This is the first live recording I've heard where it clearly sounds different from the album version (keeping in mind everything but the female vocals are the studio recording played at a higher pitch).

Assuming you're referring to The Requiem here. The vocals are clearly live, you can actually hear Mike struggle with a couple of notes.

I'm going to make a brave call: Jay-Z to appear at the 2nd Sydney show on the 15/12. It is the last Australian show of the tour, and Jay-Z is potentially free as he would play in Sydney on the 14th and is only required in Perth on the 18th. And if I was LP, I would get Jay to do Jigga What as part of Bleed it Out. Nobody would see that coming.

Oh snap, I thought the same thing. I'll make you face ... this ... now . . . you've gotta get it inside You push it back down / You push it back down No / you'll never get it inside Push it back down Black out Blood in your eye Peoples, don't suggest stuff that won't actually fit the beat of BIO. RME fits. APFMH fits. Part of Me would work. Hit the Floor would be another that would fit. QWERTY would have rapped much faster to fit the beat. Step Up would have to be done faster than what is probably possible for Mike.

Here's the reason: Mike didn't time it right. If he had started at the right spot it would have fit nicely.

Define "essentially". During their peak touring period for Young Modern in 06-08, yes, they kept a similar structure to their set list, but there were quite a few song changes over that time. I think for Linkin Park, at this early stage of the tour they need to have a consistent approach to how they promote A Thousand Suns (i.e. which ATS songs they play), but should be able to include variations in what older material is played. And play Blackout in Australia.

In a new book listing the top 1000 Songs of All Time, Linkin Park feature five times. In The End Numb What I've Done New Divide Shadow of the Day http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/2010/the-top-100...-of-all-time-km

Suggest an alternate track order for "A Thousand Suns". My version: The Requiem The Radiance Burning In The Skies Empty Spaces When They Come For Me Robot Boy Jornada Del Muerto Waiting For The End The Messenger Wretches And Kings Wisdom, Justice, And Love Blackout Iridescent Fallout The Catalyst Without breaking the song transitions, there's not a lot of movement that can be made. Basically, I feel that Blackout needs to be a part of the build up to the end of the album, and that The Catalyst should be the closing track.

What about the Somewhere I Belong video? Those creatures are elephant-like...

As long as they don't rush things this time. Remember how incorrect the lyrics in the M2M album booklet are?

"In what new ways are you approaching the next album vocally and lyrically?" - this is partially related to Mike's statement of including more rap in the next album.

LP started well tonight, but really dropped the ball from WID onwards. I'm glad to have watched the stream live, but I'm not too worried about watching it again.

Has Mike ever played the keyboard (over the synth note) during the New Divide intro before tonight?

I can't remember it occurring in any shows prior to 2007. We were able to hear it occurring at some of the Projekt Revolution shows thanks to the DSPs.

Definitely the quality. For example, if KROQ Almost Acoustic X-Mas 2007 had been streamed properly that show would have been epic.

Hehe I've been referring to a setlist without DBS and almost forgot they still have to play.

Any observant LP fan would have noticed Brad play a small section of PMA during INE, which occurs occasionally.

Anyone else think Brad looked stupid waving his guitar around to look like an extension of his private parts? Mike stuffed up HHH slightly.
