This was a really great interview where we got some great info about the comeback and the band overall. I always love when Mike talks about their lyrics being somewhat ambiguous. It's what has helped them sustain success for 25 years.

I agree I wouldn't expect too many changes until next year. They've played what, close to 35? songs already. Next year they'll incorporate probably all FZ songs and then be able to rotate the other popular ones while leaving the hits locked in.

LP just has a lot of hits. These shows are basically their top 25+/- ? most popular songs + TEM (and now +HITC) along with a couple of others for the hardcore fans. And they'll probably keep roughly the same amount of songs, but drop the LFY level songs so probably one of APFMH or GU, POA and replace with at least 5 new songs right away.

My December is almost as deep cut as it gets. Played a few times in 20+ years. LFY is what at best the 6th? biggest song off Meteora so that counts as deeper cut too. POA & APFMH are in similar spots as well. Plus they are songs that were both played live somewhat sporadically.

Just watched most of the show. What a wild crowd. Mike crushing the RME rap during BIO was amazing. Song is what 28? years old. We're definitely getting some official release of this we're back tour right? Because we are so freaking back.

Unbelievable video by Mark. As good as anything they've ever put out.

Good song, Chester is fantastic on it. Little disappointed it didn't make the album, but it's understandable. Not a glaring omission like some of the other B-sides we've heard (Lost, Fighting Myself, Primo, No Roads Left in particular for me).

I'm pretty confident LP is done making music together, but sign me up for an unreleased song(s) every couple of years, even if that means the rest of the release is mostly meh. In the very least it keeps LP relevant with the casual fan and that's fine in my book.

These sessions are so awesome, but the tease does kill me a bit. Listening to Mike play his/LP songs semi-live just makes me beg to see him on a big stage again. I know we've been blessed with an absurd amount of live recordings the last 20+ years but Mike is a rock star he can still fill a stadium.

My feeling since the HB show 6 years ago has been that LP was unofficially officially finished after that night. And that is fine. But sign me up for Mike and whatever cast of traveling musicians he can find because these are awesome. In these couple of videos he seems to be loving singing "live". Idk about anyone else but as soon as the verse started on Faint I just expected him to flip the guitar on his back and grab the mic.

I've said it a million times, but LP could have released a thousand songs from the HT/Meteora era's and I would've listened to them all over and over and over the last 20+ years.

Pretty much how everyone feels right? No one wants LP done, but figuring out how to do it effectively yet still honorably is very difficult.

I appreciate almost any interview that goes outside the norm. It's why Stern has been so successful for such a long time and you see it in things like Hot Ones etc. Asking the not-so-stock questions really helps to get a better sense of the band and their music and intra-band dynamic that we would never get otherwise. I think nearly everyone here would be lying if they said they never thought about most of those questions Stern asked Mike yesterday.

Add a sick bridge and memorable beat/tone/piano part and this is the LP formula. They could make 500 songs like this and I'd still put them on shuffle until the end of time.

Years and years of playing LP instrumental demos on shuffle, imagining the guys vocals. To hear MTV after listening to Cumulus a thousand times is unreal. Give me more please.
