When they announced they were going to release the video for IGYEIH in Santiago, I thought it was really strange. It's not a very popular song from From Zero, and it was recorded at a minor show last year. I also felt it kind of interrupted the hype around Unshatter. Now that I've watched the video, I totally get why they released it. Emily was amazing!

I’ve never heard this story, to be honest. I checked online real quickly and didn’t find anything.

Considering the risks, who here is going to volunteer to secretly record Unshatter to save it forever if they decide to keep it theater-only? 🤣

Even if most of the money comes from Europe, you can't really skip a market like the US, even with lower demand there. They'll probably just drop dates in other countries to add more in Europe. I still think the next tour will have fewer shows and make less money, mainly because the comeback hype will have died down. It’s always been like that, to be honest. Europe always had way more dates than everywhere else, except North America, obviously. They was basically stuck to North America + Europe + a few short runs in other continents. Now, South America seems to be getting bigger. Don't forget that, when it comes to concert markets worldwide, Brazil is second only to the US.

Canadian friends, tickets are already on sale at Landmark and Cineplex. I already got mine!

I think it is very likely that this show will be released on physical media later. I really think that after the movie leaves theaters, the band will release a double DVD or Bluray, with one disc for the movie and another for the full concert without cuts. Because of this, it doesn't bother me that some songs are not on streaming, CD or vinyl right now. I think there will be more recordings of the show and it will still be released in full.

From what I understand, the Jade Vinyl will be sold in theaters, right? That's really interesting. I already bought the Transparent Orange and the Opaque White vinyls, plus the CD. Now they're going to make me buy another one. 🫠 One criticism: the vinyls are not being sold in Brazil, where the show was actually recorded. On Twitter, Lorenzo said he was working to at least bring the CD to Brazil. I only got mine because I'm in Canada, but I think it's unfair to the fans who were actually at the show. 😡

It seems the movie will be 1 hour and 50 minutes long. The Brazilian ticket website ingresso.com already has a dedicated page for ticket sales in Brazil, and it has already listed the movie's runtime. It's important to mention that this website handles ticket sales for almost all movie theaters in Brazil, as well as some concerts, so it's a reliable source. I don't know if their runtime information is completely accurate, but it's definitely a strong indication. You can check here: https://www.ingresso.com/filme/linkin-park-unshatter

But you forgot the Warner's golden rule: keep costs as low as possible and charge as much as you can.

It was probably so that the file would fit on the CD or vinyl. When the movie is released on physical media, I believe there will be a double DVD or Blu-ray with the full concert (and maybe a bonus feature with the songs from day 2 that weren't played on day 1)

Sorry, I didn't understand. Should the sentence and the name be on the photo, or should I write them in the body of the email?

Obviously, Emily doesn't sing some parts of some songs because she can't reach the right note. But that's not really a problem. The older songs were not written for her, and she performs most of them very very very well. In fact, this technique of letting the crowd sing certain parts of a song isn't even noticed by most people in the audience. Only those of us who follow every show (which is probably about 0.1% of the audience) notice it. We forget that these shows are planned for a single night, not to be followed from show to show like we do. That's why the fact that she skips some parts is barely noticed by the vast majority of the audience. They go to that one show, enjoy it, and then move on without following the rest of the tour.

I talked with Adam before the second show in São Paulo, and he assured me that they were not recording the second night. That's curious, because they wore the exact same outfits as they did the previous night, which doesn't really make sense if they weren't filming. That said, some filming equipment was indeed absent on the second day, such as the drone, for example.

It's really cool to know that the content produced in São Paulo 2024 won't be lost. That way, we don't have to worry about the LP Live team having to track it down 20 years from now. 😂 Personally, I have a few reservations about this show, even though I enjoyed it a lot on the day, but it's undoubtedly a historic performance.

One thing wasn't clear to me. Is this vinyl record another version of the Deluxe Edition? Now do we have 4 different versions of the Deluxe Edition?

Something like that 😄

I also thought it was unlikely, but that’s what many people were saying in the line. I think that if Brad didn’t play at LOL or at the Champions League, he probably won’t play anymore. People were definitely talking about it, though. Well-known fans who travel all over the world to attend the shows were speculating about it during the Early Entry.

I have a friend at the show and something's going on. The Early Entry has been waiting a long time to get in because the band is doing soundcheck. Brad is on site. They're suspecting he might play something tonight. Looks like Brad is doing soundcheck with them. People in line are suspecting that either he's gonna play or they're gonna play an unreleased song.

The idea isn’t that bad, but wouldn’t that make them lose market value? When you make a move like that, you signal to the market that there’s a strong chance that on the eve of a show you might not have your vocalist. I think that ends up lowering the band’s booking fee, because it makes them seem like a risky asset. At the same time, I think it would be very difficult for a festival to accept that. Imagine the day before Rock am Ring the band informing the producers that only Mike will perform. That would look bad for the band. Not to mention that saying Emily is the one who’s sick would end up bringing those stupid comments like: “I said she wasn’t good enough to replace Chester. She gets sick trying to sing Chester’s songs.” Until now, there have been two cancellations in a year and a half. If this keeps happening, that risk will become even more evident in the market. They need to reduce the number of shows. There were too many shows in Australia because there was a planning mistake (booking arenas instead of stadiums). Then they got greedy and added more shows. There were also too many shows in Latin America, with very long travel distances between them. The next tour needs to have half the number of shows that the From Zero Tour had.

I know this isn’t the main topic, but since people mentioned Rob here, I think it’s interesting to talk about it. Has anyone noticed that Colin is constantly wearing a Music for Relief bandana from 2012, which they gave to some fans at shows back then? Since that project basically ended and it’s something so old, I see it as a quiet tribute from Colin to Rob, since Rob was perhaps the band member most responsible for Music for Relief. IMAGE: About Rob himself, I still think this clash of opinions is mostly the result of his silence. I don’t see a problem with him retiring and disappearing. I just think that when the band came back, he should have released a short note explaining that he decided not to continue for personal reasons. That alone would have avoided all this debate. Now we’re going to be stuck with these theories forever.

It’s funny how With You is a song the band always forgets and later remembers for their setlists. I really think With You will eventually come back, especially now that the shows are longer. It would be perfect to rotate in at some concerts.

The Rising Tied would have enough material for a 20th anniversary box set. But now, besides Mike’s lack of interest because he wants to promote Linkin Park’s new phase, I wonder if there’s any content we still don’t know about. We got some Special Editions released in 2023, which seemed like a way to put out those B-sides before Linkin Park came back years later.

Before that, Adam had already liked some posts about the photo, which made it clear it was real. I just didn’t have time to comment here afterwards. As a lawyer, I can say that for someone to be sued, they have to be located. 🤣 Anyway, I’m really happy that Linkin Park is giving attention to a country with such a strong market. What an incredible day! Grammy nominations, a new show in India, Brazilian fans taking photos with Colin and Emily in São Paulo...

I might be wrong, but this artwork hasn’t been used by the band yet, right? The other billboards all shared the same artwork, right? This one is different from the others we had seen. Isn’t there a chance that it was a fan trying to get the band’s attention and we’re interpreting it the wrong way? I also find it curious that Lollapalooza didn’t sign an exclusivity contract for a band that has been highly wanted in the country for years. Let’s hope it’s a new show for India.

It’s unbelievable that a band as popular as LP has only two Grammys. I hope these nominations do them justice, because few songs and albums were talked about as much last year as The Emptiness Machine and From Zero.
