I’d recommend it. The LP.com version just feels like a more finished premium package.
Looking at the standard version unboxing on YouTube, it’s nowhere near as deluxe. No O card, the CDs are loose in the gatefold pockets rather than in individual sleeves, and the booklet is slipped in with a disc instead of stuck inside the gatefold.
LP.com exclusive edition, for those that want to see the expanded booklet

if I had to gripe, I’m not keen on how the lyrics have been laid out, breaking across pages. But overall it’s a really nice premium feeling package.
Ever watched the Road to Revolution DVD… lights fade to black on Bleed It Out… then pressed play on the ‘hidden bonus tracks’. Didn’t have the same feeling either. (I watch the version on YouTube that has them stitched in now)
What do we reckon then for recordings then…
- The Emptiness Machine: Burbank (released on FZ expanded edition)
- Heavy Is The Crown: London (released on FZ expanded edition)
- Over Each Other: Paris (released on FZ expanded edition)
- Casualty: no sbd release yet (?)
- Two Faced: São Paulo night 1 (released in full on YouTube)
Happy to be proven wrong, but I’d be surprised if it’s a new album. Given they’ve just started on the From Zero tour cycle. I’d bet a deluxe edition or ep, akin to Post Traumatic.
…though having said that Coldplay released Moon Music and they’re still on the apparently never ending Music of the Spheres tour.
Looks like they’re changing up the posters too for exclusive artworks rather than the FZ textures.
Hopefully there’s digital versions posted somewhere!
Best thing that could have been done for the fans. Shame that there wasn’t a message put out or preorders put up when eBay got ridiculous to say it would be available after the tour, but scarcity drives demand I suppose. Glad I was able to get one on Amazon.de, I’d written off owning one until then.
I think the core set list is there. Might see some more From Zero tracks brought it in or rotated through sets. That happened with Minutes To Midnight deeper cuts, like Hands Held High, Valentine’s Day, In Between, In Pieces…
Will be interesting to see if they’re wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
As for set changes, if any, I’d wager that Points is swapped in for Lying From You. Feels like an easy rotation to make. Think they’ve done it before with those two.
