Then Two Faced. Keep counting up until they hit Figure.09

For sure. We could either be watching Forgotten at RAR 01 on repeat or listening to brand new awesome LP songs that have only be played live like 4 times, but are down a key or a touch off the album version. Or both. I know which side I would vote for.

Half the band is new, including lead vocals and lead guitar. We are lucky to get so many 25+ song shows already and if this is what they are starting with, the shows later this year are going to be much more refined.

Do you think it's because she's singing those "powerful" parts too far from her mic? Or just a bad mix? Or something else?

Thanks for the insight. As someone who is the opposite of an audiophile and can't really tell any of these differences besides volume and some weird sounds, I'll try to focus more when I listen back. The overall volume differences have been most noticeable to a layman like me. Mike's vocals always seem the loudest. Emily's vocals vary sometimes, especially when she moves the mic away from her. Guitar volumes seem to change a lot depending on songs. I can almost never hear Mike's guitar in any of the recordings.

He's 3 feet away from the stage and the sound quality is better than some of the official live videos it feels like. And somehow he avoids a crazy loud fan right in his ear. Amazing uploads.

Audio quality was excellent in that first show. They absolutely nailed Lost. Looking forward to waking up and listening to QWERTY in the 2nd half of the show. Don't disappoint us LP.

I love these a capella versions just to appreciate how good Mike still sounds after all of these years. CTB barely feels acapella. It's like my brain fills in the missing parts and there is so much vocals that I barely notice.

Love what they did with this album. It was short, but what else can you ask for after 7 years and 2 new band members? We were lucky to get A song let alone 10 new ones. My FZ rankings so far: Good Things Go The Emptiness Machine Heavy is the Crown Two Faced IGYEIH Cut The Bridge Over Each Other Stained Overflow Casualty

Yes let us know if we can replay anywhere. Bizarre that people are confusing Mike's son's voice with Emily. He also didn't get any writing or contribution credit. That ain't right 😆

Thanks for the recap!

Their marketing team has been working overtime for the last couple of months but it is awesome to see LP so relevant. Great channel too. I'm not musically inclined not even little bit but I imagine it's not easy to learn an entire album in 7 hrs. Hats off to Brandon.

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.
