    No, Dylan starts the samples from the side of the stage/behind the stage. I asked Pooch about this a few years ago and he forwarded me to Dylan, who had all of this to say. Hopefully this will help people understand :)

     

    His comments to me from PR08: " I start the samples from stage left, next to the monitor console. I get a cue from Joe on Cure for the itch and start the track from our Protools playback rig. On What Ive Done, One Step Closer, etc. it is the same... i get a cue from the guys (whoever is closest to me at the time usually) and i start the sample. For the intro, i start the samples also, my cue is a musical cue, depending on the song following the Street Drum Corps intro i anticipate the end (there is a bit of latency from the time i push start till playback accually starts) so that the intro starts about the same every night."

     

    "At the begining of the show when all the band guys are ready they make a call over the radio that all of the crew can hear, even at FOH and that is when they fade the lights, after the lights are faded and the crowd begins to mellow down, that is my cue to start the show. ALL the songs are started by me, I either get musical cues or a "go" cue from Rob for all the songs. For example: WID is a musical cue (album version), I start the samples at the last chord that Mike plays, but LOATR, SOTD and In Pieces, i get a go cue from Rob and i start the samples, there is a count that only Mike and Rob can hear until the actual samples that you hear start. It is either one of those 2 ways that ALL of the songs get started, only exception is Pushing me away ("acoustic" version) Mike and Chester are going all by themselves ;-)."

     

    " You are right every song that includes the "rest" of the band (not only Mike and Chester) i start; some songs like QWERTY, A place for my head, BIO, etc. that have no samples i start the song by sending a count that only Rob can hear so i appears like he is starting the song but he is getting a click from me, then he clicks everyone else in to start the song. And that goes for ALL of your other examples as well, including Valentines day etc. "

     

    In regards to New Divide in 2009:

     

    "Mike actually is playing the synth intro stuff, then i start the beginning of the song and click track goes to the guys in their ears. Joe plays the main hook part in the intro etc. hope that answers your questions."

    thanks for this clarification :)

     

    btw: great performance
