RTR is an amazing show that I still can watch and enjoy almost 10 years later. I love that DVD so much... That being said OML Live is great too!

I'm completely guessing on this, but it is possible that the release was postponed after Chester passed. Then, it was originally made public by mistake back in August...and now is the time that the band feels right releasing this "officially".

That's as close to pro-shot quality footage as possible. Amazing job.

The Messenger, Madrid 2010. It was such an amazing performance of that song. There are many more...Numb at KROQ 2010 for instance is another one that comes to mind... I would have to probably write them down and go through some videos, but I just listened to that performance of The Messenger yesterday so it's still fresh in my mind right now.

Not to veer too much off topic, but part of me has wondered since July 20th if Chester wrote that song with the possibility in mind that things may end the way they did. Listening to that song now is heartbreaking but also strangely comforting. It's sad because Chester is gone, but that song to me says that he also wanted to comfort those that were left behind by saying to remember better times when you're feeling sad and "empty". I agree that the song has so much meaning, and it's the first LP song that I listened to.. a couple of days after what happened.

Because of what? Affected sales? I dont think the band is releasing this with sales in mind.

PMA leaked like 7 years ago or something like that lol. Unless theyve disappeared completely now. I used to have them on my old computer.

The stems for that song are out there, not only the acapella. Those stems specifically are definitely from RB4.

I think he forgot the words for a split second and then recovered to finish the line.

Cooperation on YouTube's part. It's not the first time it's been done by them, either.

The live version of What Ive Done also came as a pre-order track along with No Roads Left, yes.

You may be right, but I'm sure if they were to choose the other show they would edit it and fix that mistake. For example, when Jay-Z came in too early on Big Pimpin' at Live 8 in 2005, the mistake was edited out for LPU 5.

Am I crazy or did they also fix Kiiara and Julia Michaels on Heavy? The drive myself crazy part sounds way better lol

Dont they record every show? Not every show is professionally mixed obviously but I always thought they have SBD recordings of most if not all their shows.

Does anybody think this live album may be released in lieu of an LPU album this year? It was my first thought. I wouldnt be disappointed if that was the case, this album is going to be great, but it was just something i wondered.

Pre-ordered. Will be awesome to have! The level of cynicism from some people about this release is astounding.

He'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he meant that they would play them for her out of respect, and give her the say that Chester would have had as far as his demos go when it comes to putting them on an LPU CD.

I like the RTR set which is close to this. I realize there were a couple FM verses on POA, and obviously the two Jay Z songs, but besides that it was a really good LP set. I love that DVD. I still watch it regularly.

I didnt like full FM songs in the LP set just like I didnt like the mini DBS set they would do before LPs encore years ago.

It's very likely that Chester's death delayed this, especially with the planned release being only one week later. If Mike was indeed using this app at ComplexCon, that's awesome. It sounds really cool.

If I remember right, the Making of Meteora DVD had a part where you could hear the bridge of FTI with no vocals and the click track audible. I'm not sure about a legit "demo" of the song though.

Out of curiosity, was the existence of this song (or a new song in general) one of the things you were saying you knew before the show but couldn't say? Lol after the initial emotion began to subside after hearing the song, I started to wonder if this is one of the things you were referring to.

Is there sunshine where you are?...... gets me every time. That line caught me completely off guard.

Part of me wants to say that song is sacred and nobody should sing it, but honestly I know thats not my right to say something like that. I just cant think of anyone who would truly do it justice.

Awesome video. I really wish there was video of Mike/the band's initial reaction when Chester pulled off the full scream for the first time. That had to be an amazing moment. Chester really always gave it his all.. He was so passionate and intense. Also this can be added to the list of times that Chester stated how much he disliked having to sing the chorus of Crawling lol. I'm glad in later performances they stripped it down and lowered the key. That way audiences got to hear the song, and Chester didn't have to destroy his voice to sing it.
