Just lost sound but still had video. Hahninator, the show page should read something like: This show was webstreamed lived but streaming issues made it impossible to record.

Massive spit by Brad caught on camera.

Mike played the outro to Numb and then had to stop and think for a second what to play for the intro to BTH. But what he's playing is beautiful as always.

Yeah, I'll agree that Numb sounds weak.

Getting large stream interruptions now. Recording would have been pointless.

Setlist: 01. Session 02. Given Up 03. From The Inside 04. Somewhere I Belong 05. No More Sorrow 06. Lying From You 07. Points Of Authority 08. What I've Done Chester took the time to thank the other bands, and again express his love for Alice in Chains.

Crowd shot. They are partially into it.

Petrified verse 2 over POA intro. EDIT: Beaten!

Chester performed really well on NMS.

05. No More Sorrow. They just showed a shot of the sunset, not much light left. Don't think they've said anything to the crowd yet, but I expect something during LFY. Nice to hear Mike mix up his guitar intro to NMS.

Setlist: 01. Session 02. Given Up 03. From The Inside 04. Somewhere I Belong Didn't hear the first set of Joe's scratches in the intro to SIB. Either he forgot to scratch or KROQ messed up the audio like usual.

The stream is holding up reasonably well but the cutouts are bad enough to mess up a recording. There is a bit of light left in the sky, but it's pretty dark at the venue.

The delay effect on Chester's scream was a tad obvious. They'll edit that for the DSP.

Session was awesome! They started the Given Up claps quite early. Chester - don't like your choice of outfit.

Only got to watch some of the interview. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to set up to record the stream, but I seem to be getting similar drop-outs to everyone else. Slim Shinoda, are you recording the High or Low stream?

Mike and Chester being interviewed right now.

The remix sounds like something for the clubs... except that right at the end it sounds like a transition to a slower part (or perhaps the end of the track).

You people never learn, do ya?

New Album in March 2010. I'm tipping a very similar situation to M2M, where the band intends to get the album out in 2009, but it will be delayed.

Only because the Youtube videos are in the wrong order (2 and 3 are in the wrong order). The DVD should look fine.

In response to Josh's comments about the individual members of LP: Chester: Has developed and changed as a singer over the years. A good comparison is of his screaming on Lying From You - compare 2003 to 2007/08, and I see that Chester has lost his 'golden touch' in terms of his vocal ability. He's quite temperamental live - his voice is so haunting on TLYGYA, yet he always manages to butcher LOATR. Mike: He's too multi skilled that he doesn't really excel at anything, but I thinks he genuinely tried to improve and develop during the MTM writing process. Hoping for more genius moments from Mike. Phoenix: May as well not be in the band at the moment. He needs to get everyone to starting calling him Dave again, turn up his bass, and actually do something on stage during the live shows! Brad: Yeah, he's not that great with guitar. At least on MTM he's shown he can do more than just power chords, and he can actually pull off the In Pieces solo live, so that's promising. As long as he sticks to stuff he can play, he's fine. Rob: Can't say that Rob's terrible, in fact he seems to be pretty solid most of the time. It's probably more LP's style that contributes to what he actually plays. Or maybe that he simply over practices songs and it loses that creative aspect (eg TLTGYA - referring to the MTM making of DVD). Joe: Has enough turntablism skill for anything that LP would require, but that's it. I imagine that during the early Xero/Hybrid Theory days Joe would have had a real passion for scratching and developing his skill (and With You shows the result of that). As the nu-metal phase past, and LP moved to write MTM, Joe kinda got left to push buttons (although I would be extremely interested to know what scratching was on the MTM tracks prior to the mixing stage). Since I can't see there being a large amount of scratching on the next album, I'd go as far as suggesting that Joe could try playing another instrument (possibly guitar, which would get him off his riser and allow him to go to the front of the stage for a change. Or maybe that is a bit extreme.

Jay-Z will obviously appear in Numb/Encore and Jigga What/Faint. As for N.E.R.D., we can only guess that they are on a special feature (like a PR behind the scenes or something, which I think is supposed to be about 40 mins long). I'll assume you noticed their names at the end of the credits. Also just noticed that some footage of them went onto Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw5sds-SrbU Phoenix gets credited by his full name - David "Phoenix" Farrell

I'm tipping that the Little Boxes cover will appear on the 8.0 CD.
