    04.07.2011 - London, England - iTunes Festival

    One, after the cover it appeared to me once again this year that it seems like the band is rushing things live. Like, they are in a big hurry to play the next song and not taking their time to talk between them. In 2007 even, like listen to Auburn after POA...Chester is blowing up. In 2011 it's pissing me off that almost every time Chester talks to the crowd, the next song starts asap. Leipzig with BITS, London with WJL, etc. The songs are starting so quickly now after the band talks for a sentence or two and it literally interrupts them. It's annoying to me slightly. Anyone else notice this? Papercut at London night 2 2010. It happens almost every single show on the ATS cycle. VERY noticeable to me.

    100x YES. I remember laughing when they stopped WJ&L while Chester was talking. I know they were running a bit late, but come on! Talking to the audience is part of the show. I feel like most of the time Chester or Mike say anything they have background music to it. -.-

     

    Next, I dislike how Blackout keeps getting the shaft. It's been played a few times on this tour but only at headlining shows (non festivals). They seem to not be very fond of that song live in my opinion. I was looking forward to it at this show but it was dropped for the cover. That's ok but I mean c'mon, it's a new song and fans really never got to see it. I guess I should elaborate by saying this doesn't really happen much with LP songs - meaning just about every cycle has every song off the album played to many many fans. The only exceptions to this are Easier To Run and Hit The Floor, and maybe even you could argue Valentine's Day or In Between. I guess the songs from ATS that this happens to are Blackout and Burning In The Skies.

     

    That's sad because BITS is a single and Blackout is a big big fan favorite, something ETR/HTF and VD/IB weren't. I don't think ATS will have any shows after Asia unfortunately either. In previous cycles, like PR07/PR08 for example, not everyone saw SOTD or LOATR or IP the first year but LP kept them the second year and just about everyone saw all 3. Well there was only 1 US tour for this album and it was VERY small compared to previous ones....Blackout and BITS weren't in every set but LP won't be back with those songs most likely.

    Add Wretches and Kings to that list and I'm with you. I feel like Wretches is the poor forgotten child and I do NOT understand why its not played live. I remember the crowd going OFF in New York for it. smh. Then in Houston while waiting for the concert everyone around me was talking about the possible setlist and the number one song people wanted to hear was Blackout (and then we didn't). So I don't see why they don't play these more for the ATS tour! I went to 3 shows for the ATS NA Tour and didn't hear Wretches once or even the Messenger. But I guess since those two aren't singles we won't hear them. I try not to find the rhyme or reason behind the setlist decisions anymore.

     

    Saying all that though, I really did like the concert. Lotta energy from the London crowd and the band seemed to be enjoying themselves playing. Chester sounded great! And it was in COLOR!! <3 Only "bad" part was Apple's epic fail of censorship.

    How do we give you what we want?

    That survey needed to be worded a little better.

    Like the song balance question. I wanted a "less singles" option.

    And for LPU "too poor"

     

    Took me FOREVER to choose 3 faves. Honestly its Numb, Faint, and From the Inside (METEORA BABY!), but then my brain went to setlists. So I choose

     

    Easier to Run

    A Place For My Head

    Wretches and Kings.

     

    :P Really its quite close because I love all their songs. I wish that And One had been on there.

     

    This mostly seemed like intel for advertisement. But whatever. Hopefully they'll really look at the "favorite songs" part.

     

    I also put lplive as my fav music site ;)

    Glad for another cast. Good chance for another skype chat! :) Giving up on hope for a setlist change, but maybe they'll play the mixed version of Iridescent. Also really cool that we could get EVERY show of 2011! *fingerscrossed*

     

    Love Mike's new blog page. Needed to be updated.

     

    Thanks for the news update!

    Iridescent Music Video

    I'd love for Joe to breakdown his videos and explain what he was trying to convey (if anything) in certain shots, effects etc. Yes, I know the guys like their music & videos to be open to interpretation by each individual but I'd still like for Joe to explain whats happening in the video (apart from his brief description).

    Totally agree. I think this is one of the main reasons I don't really care for this video. As someone said earlier there's a lot of "epic random shit" going on, but personally I like when there's SOMEWHAT of a plot. Or even just know WTF was going on.

     

    I love dogs but they really threw me off. Only thing I could really connect was the "Last Supper" scene.

     

    If you could explain Joe, I'd love to read/hear it!

     

    Also HATE that its not in color. I hope they change up their video style soon. But I believe this is the last single for ATS, so we'll have to wait and see.

    I agree...I'm not digging the whole black and white theme anymore at all. I guess it was cool and appropriate for the LPTV episodes that were like them messing around at NRG and stuff, but the tour episodes should definitely be in color. That's just how I feel...

    +3

     

    So tired of the black and white. I backed the video when I saw the splash of color in APFMH. Also yay for cowboy hats! I wish the whole band had come out in them. Would've made my life!!! lol/jk Saw myself in the crowd at the end! So happy Mark got a shot of the crowd with their lights. Though I wish he had gotten on of the flags that were at the TX shows.

    Favourite Setlist?

    B13. Two of the shows I went to had that one and they were very energetic. I just wish I had gotten A1. I don't understand why Wretches (which is fantastic live!) wasn't featured more.
