He's a good vocalist for GD, I hope that this project becomes really successful with him on board.

 

Grey Daze could easily tour in places like Germany or Brazil that are crazy for Chester and they would get huge crowds.

 

It's weird that this is their comeback show, I imagined that it would be a solo show full of GD fans like in a Club Tattoo anniversary party or something like that, its going to be awkward for them being part of this festival where people dont know who they are.

The good thing is you have way less people comparing you at the first show. Less pressure

What do you guys think about Cris? he is in a very special situation

Imagine being a huge LP fan, you create your own tribute band and then the very first band of the vocalist that you love calls you to join the band.

I would do it, no brainer. This guy has a once-in-a-lifetime-chance. He should grab it. And no, I'm far from being a Grey Daze fan or even feel some degree of sympathy for Sean, but Cris isn't to blame. I'm glad for him

i was just reading about their final album, its kinda sad that they dont want to record more albums.

Just a theory, I think after IV they kinda stagnate. I love their music, but it isn't the most innovative piece of art in word. They tried really hard in "When Legends Rise" to reach wider audiences, but their old school fans didn't accepted that sound quite well and the general public didn't change their thoughts about them, so they felt into middle ground. In the end, I get it, they took the Legacy band approach "why I'm gonna waste more time making music if you just want to listen the same shit over and over again?"

TBH I'd go to this show for Godsmack 

A singer from a tribute band to "replace" Chester? Not a bad option, to be honest. I already have many issues with Grey Daze,but this one seems one of their few good ideas.

Maybe the Don't Stay and Nobody's Listening weren't included because they were almost identical to the final versions, a different working name doesn't have to mean a drastically different song

Let's say that Jeff know the grey areas of the law (which probably is true) and he gets away with it. What does he gain pissing off a band which he had a bitter relationship with, and he even has published a book about how he discovered them and gain some money with that, adding more fuel to the band's discontent. Really, what's his main goal? I see can't see any positive outcome in any way.

The reasons the DSPs were stopped is because the shows weren't selling much anymore. LPL probably directly contributed to that with how much they were shared online for free for years, and torrenting after that (when LPU 9 launched). But the band said multiple times to post the shows for free everywhere - Mike even made an LPU forum thread for that lol. But this will show you the disconnect between the band / fans and the label - ultimately you have to be making money on them no matter how much the band and fans love them being shared. If they aren't selling but 20-30 copies a show then they aren't worth paying Pooch and Dylan to do (at the time). Now, there is an entirely separate topic for how piss poor LP's marketing was for them. RHCP advertised them in emails, at the shows, etc. They should have done an additional add-on when buying tickets on Ticketmaster etc for adding a $10 show recording. Metallica isn't a good comparison because they are so big they will sell a trillion copies of every show, but for LP you need some results. The label could have done much better promoting these to ensure the program would have continued. What we were left with was a random tour they stopped (with no public announcement - we had to reach out privately) when LP was on fire on stage - Vegas -> NZ/Australia 2013 when they had really great setlists. Blah.

 

NZ/Australia 2007 was mixed in 2009 when they were ready for release. There was a dispute with Warner Australia basically over "if people buy the show recording then it will hurt MTM sales in Australia", which is true, but come on, that's more label BS in general. It got worked out and they were released.

 

To date, there has never been a valid reason given for the entire 2008 Summer European Tour not being released. No one has ever said anything about that. Pooch is on record multiple times saying they recorded the shows and he wished they could be released, but it wasn't his call.

 

2007-2012 there were times where venues started wanting fees from local labor unions etc (not super well-versed in this topic) from bands who record their shows. There are lots of Google articles on this - look into it. You'd have to pay off the local union or something to get stuff recorded. How that is even a thing is beyond me but that is why Wantagh one year has no recording released, Mountain View, etc. And sometimes partnerships on shows like MTV (Monterrey 2012) prevent them from being released due to contracts signed. That isn't the standard deal at festivals though so that reason isn't why Europe 2008 wasn't released. But that is why 2012, 2008, 2007 shows were missing. And 2009 too for some shows, probably (not confirmed). I do know for a fact that MSG charges bands $40,000 to record their performances at The Garden. And LP paid that in 2008 (or whatever the 2008 rate was) to get the LP/JZ show out because of how fucking big that moment was. But for example remember we had no Wantagh 2007 (no idea how it got worked out for 2008) recording. It's all super confusing.

 

What needed to happen was they had someone in charge SPECIFICALLY for the live recordings and in that role you work out every kink and hiccup imaginable so shows can be released. Notice Metallica doesn't have this issue - they release every single damn show they play lol. If they play their instruments on stage, it's released.

So, the short answer would be that the project was a mess from minute 0. I don't get why LP encouraged to share the shows. In fact, who initiated that idea at first? Seems like they knew that recording and selling every show was going to be overwhelming for their crew, maybe self sabotaging? Cold hard truth is, they aren't released because no one wants to enter a legal battle to make happy a tiny fraction of the fanbase, I mean us

nothing bothers me more than the moment that LPU lost my photo with Chester. it was just me and Chester and somehow they lost it.

That fucking hurts.

yeah some tracks leaked the quality is really good.

i had one of the best nights of my whole life... first show ever , the show starts with APFMH, killler encore, my show gets released on a dvd damn. great times

Chester and the band were in A+ shape during 2012.

Doesn't bother you a bit that they only released half of the show? It wouldn't ruin my experience, but I'd be a little bit upset about it

I remember that Pooch told me that he mixed the full Monterrey 2012 show, would be really great to have my first show ever.

 

In fact, didn't a couple of tracks of that show leaked from a Mike's hard drive or something? I remember the quality of those was INSANE. Another legendary non released DVD like Berlin 2014.

PS: lucky bastard, you saw one of their best encores with the Lying/Papercut medley, Faint and OSC

I know that other staff member rip all the audio from all dvds and he cut the tracks properly, it was in mp3 format only, if you have that one then all the tracks are already fixed.

 

As for the original version that was posted here, which means the track were cut just like the chapters on dvds. Speaking about the Denver and Veteras - almost all tracks were missing a small portion of intro, Crwaling was missing the whole extended intro in both of those shows, the first 16 seconds of Don't Stay from Denver was cut, which didn't make sense at all because that 16 second intro contains portion of the extended intro to DS. Extended intros to Numb, In The End were cut too.

 

Sometimes you can't notice some of those bad cuts if you are listening to the whole show, but when you listening just the one track from start to the end and there's no next track to play, you will notice that at the end of it very small portion of the intro of the next song was cut. EDIT: sometimes the track were just missing 1-2 cymbals, I fixed that too.

 

Don't remember how the situation looks like in the other two shows - Manila, Seoul. I'm planning to re-check and fix those two pretty soon too.

That means that the intro for the song 2 is at the end of the song 1, or the song 2 has no intro at all?

Are we entirely sure that he's gonna release some demos?

Hello guy's anyone have this dvd  from shared ?

Can't see it in LP-Bits, it's weird, it's a pretty common and popular show...

It's neither. It's a third edit of it.

Any thoughts about creating another version? Why could that be?

That was very strange, indeed. I mean they released later on the Australian tour 2007, there wasn't any reason not to release those shows, but we will never know for sure. If someone asks Mike he'd say something like: I don't remember, It wasn't my thing, go ask somebody else

Looks like either shared in a small circle or lost. Maybe can ask mods to post as recording of the week?

It's available on the LP live YT channel though. But it's weird that is nowhere to be found 

Not a big fan of vinyl thanks to things like this. 

-Rock am Ring 2007

-Any other show with Faint as show closer

-I could care less about the rest, I'm gonna enjoy it anyway 

Hi! Anyone knows where can I find it this show? Both here and in LP Bits I've only found the second night, but not the first

The LT shows were epic as hell though. 2012-2013 may be their best live era of the 2010s decade. Totally needed a second USA tour in 2013 for LT and a European arena tour. Really, really loved the Honda Civic Tour setlists (WTCFM in an amphitheater was epic). And 2013 in Australia & Asia had amazing sets. Remember Brad absolutely loved LGM live haha

Really? I would go with the ATS era, but it's great to see someone pointing out something truly positive from the LT era 

P5hng me A*wy. At least those are the lyrics I could relate to best
