Might be the first time I have ever seen that complaint!

Are you fucking kidding me? Muse does the most random stuff lol. Why in the world would they play that kind of set? Epic though, I mean epic. After their next show in Korea, I'm seeing the three in a row after that....SO THERE'S HOPE. Hope to see cool stuff like that. Hmm, APFMH/Papercut is epic but I think I liked Set B when VICTIMIZED was in there. Basically they took the medley, played those songs in full, and dropped two other songs. So this show is technically still one full song shorter than the old Set B. The encore of TINFOIL, Faint, LFY/Papercut, OSC is really great.

Was there a TINFOIL before Faint?

Encore break after BIO. Faint and OSC? LFY, Faint, OSC? VICTIMIZED, Faint, OSC? Catalyst, Faint, OSC? lol

After BIO all they have left is Faint and OSC so I doubt an encore is coming. They wouldn't change the set up big time (like jumble the encore). If they had Papercut left they could do the Set B encore but its been played so one set with no encore is probably it. Interesting.

The venues comment about Iridescent is hilarious, they have no idea it's a medley. Wow, I guess VICTIMIZED is gone.

Haha I am the exact opposite. I love POWERLESS but don't like IBG very much. Found a cool stat: "For every ticket purchased for the Manila concert, 1US$ will be donated to Music for Relief to rebuild homes in Mindanao in partnership with All Hands Volunteers for their long term recovery program following Typhoon Washi, locally known as Typhoon Sendong." MFR is really doing a lot of good stuff. I didn't know in foreign countries they were helping out LOCALLY. I thought they were just planting trees in the rainforest, helping out places that need access to clean water and electricity (Africa, Haiti), etc. This storm killed over 1,000 people in 2011. If 10,000 people attend the show, that's $10,000 just from Linkin Park playing a show that is going to help rebuild the area.

I think we'll get it just after the Asian Tour ends.

Sorry man! Thanks for the heads up. We try to be as accurate as possible but we do make mistakes That is one of the first times I've seen something listed on the setlist and then it was taken off, but the band continues doing it. Wow! That's such a huge gap between shows. Have fun. Really fucking awesome. I think VICTIMIZED will come at your show, and probably Catalyst too, since they'll be playing a full set (over 20 songs). The last three shows were all festival setlists. Awesome photos. The first one doesn't work, can you link it up again? Would you care if we added them to our Manila 2004 show page? They'd be great to put up Don't worry about the setlist, the guys at LP PH I'm sure will tweet it live

I started the online LP world when I was 14, and I'm still here at 22. Hope they keep making good music....lol Jonas?

LMAO! I guess Mike settles it right there then. That's hilarious. We can't remember everything but that's one of the funniest things I have seen in a while

They wrote a ton of songs for the album. They were rehearsing for Japan, Phoenix brought an idea in, and they wrote QWERTY and played it. It wasn't a seed for the album. After the tour, they recorded it and Rick told them to change some stuff. Then it was put on the LPU CD. QWERTY wasn't ever seriously considered for MTM. They luckily were able to come up with a brand new song to play live, and that's what its purpose was - to be a new song for the 2006 tour. Grecian is a totally different demo. It wasn't completed. QWERTY is not Grecian. Yes I remember that interview with Mike about him saying he kind of regrets them playing it, haha.

We still have no idea where those first 3 proshot videos came from? TV right? And I guess BID is from there as well? Hopefully we get it. It's possible LITE was shown on TV then I guess too.

They might not do anything over it but it's possible they will. It'd be nice to see BITS or NRL return over it. I think it's very interesting they didn't list RME on the setlists (well, we aren't 100% sure about Tokyo's lol) but they took a break there to talk to each other. Mike is at the mic and looking around at the rest of the band and Chester is whispering something to Brad. Bust into something guys. APFMH bridge reprise Or just RME....

I think it fortunately missed the area near the show. Don't need any cancellations for the band. I thought the Summer Tour in 2009 was really short, haha.....until I saw this tour. Wow. Thought they'd at least do 10 shows.

The third show of Linkin Park's six show Asian Tour in support of LIVING THINGS takes them to Pasay City's Mall of Asia Arena, a brand new venue that just opened in 2012. Pasay City is a small city that makes up the area around Manila, Philippines and it will host the band's first headlining show of the tour so far. LP's only other appearance in the Philippines was in June 2004, when they play Manila's CCP Grounds in support of Meteora (show page here). This makes it their second show in the Philippines ever and their first in over nine years! Our friends at LinkinPark_PH will be covering this show head to toe, so don't miss out on their updates! Urbandub, a local band from the Philippines, will open the show. To start this tour, Linkin Park played Summer Sonic in Tokyo and Osaka. These were their only full shows in Japan in support of LIVING THINGS, which is a far cry from their five arena shows in Japan for A Thousand Suns in September 2011. At these two shows, we saw what we'd call "Festival Set B" (opening with 'A Place For My Head) in Tokyo (show page here) and "Festival Set A" (opening with 'TINFOIL' and 'Faint') in Osaka, but without 'Somewhere I Belong' (show page here). Since we covered the proshot videos of 'A Place For My Head', 'Papercut', and 'Given Up' from Tokyo in our Osaka preshow post, here are two more proshot videos that surfaced from a webcast on the 11th: 'Given Up' and 'LOST IN THE ECHO'. Since this is the first headlining show for the band on this short tour, we are expecting a full setlist at this show. The New Zealand & Australia Tour earlier this year didn't feature Set C (opening with 'With You'), and Set C hasn't been seen since 2012, so it's likely that the band will just use Set A and Set B to close out these last four shows. Another interesting development with a part of the setlist that we all watch every show is what is happening with 'Bleed It Out' right now. As we all know, the first verse of 'Reading My Eyes' was resurrected at the KROQ Rehearsal earlier this month (for the first time since 2011) and was over the bridge of 'Bleed It Out' at the Sunset Strip Music Festival show. In Tokyo and Osaka, Mike didn't rap the verse. However, it's interesting to note the on the song. Chester goes over to talk to Brad and Mike is looking around, possibly signaling to see what they should do over the bridge. Nothing happened, but it's possible at this point that they might have 'Reading My Eyes' over it again or possibly something else that doesn't require much effort, like 'Burning In The Skies' or even 'No Roads Left' (which hasn't been done since they were in Japan in 2011). We will see!EDIT: Thanks to our friend Lee (Wilderness) for finding a with the 'Reading My Eyes' verse! It was skipped in Tokyo but it was resurrected at the Osaka Summer Sonic show, meaning it's likely that it will keep appearing on this tour. Lastly, Typhoon Utor just slammed into the Philippines with 100+mph winds, but the LP show doesn't appear to be in danger. While the storm was serious, it seems that it missed the central Manila area and the show will continue thankfully. The band is also helping with a previous disaster that hit the area in 2011: "For every ticket purchased for the Manila concert, 1US$ will be donated to Music for Relief to rebuild homes in Mindanao in partnership with All Hands Volunteers for their long term recovery program following Typhoon Washi, locally known as Typhoon Sendong." After this show, the band will do exactly what they did on their 2004 run and head to Hong Kong (isn't that ironic?) where they will play Chek Lap Kok's Asia-World Arena on the 15th. Two more shows follow to close out the tour - Taipei on the 17th and Kuala Lumpur on the 19th. SETLIST: 01. A Place For My Head (Long Intro; Ext. Outro) 02. Papercut 03. Given Up (Ext. Outro w/ Extra Note) 04. New Divide 05. With You (2012 Ext. Intro; Ext. Scratch Outro) 06. Somewhere I Belong (2012 Intro) 07. LIES GREED MISERY 08. Points Of Authority 09. Waiting For The End (Apaches Intro w/ 'UNTIL IT BREAKS' v2; Wall of Noise Outro) 10. Breaking The Habit 11. CASTLE OF GLASS 12. LOATR/SOTD/Iridescent (Ballad Medley) 13. LOST IN THE ECHO 14. Numb (Outro 'Numb/Encore' Lyrics Tease (Mike/Chester)) 15. What I've Done 16. BURN IT DOWN 17. In The End 18. Bleed It Out (Ext. Intro; Ext. Bridge; Ext. Outro) ---------------------------------------------------- 19. TINFOIL 20. Faint (Ext. Outro) 21. Lying From You 22. One Step Closer (Ext. Outro) - This is the first time 'Lying From You' has appeared in the encore in full. In 2004, 'Dirt Off Your Shoulders/Lying From You' appeared in the encore once, and in 2012, 'Lying From You/Papercut' continuously appeared in the encore. - This is the "new" Set B, with a full 'Lying From You' in the encore, a full 'Papercut' at the top of the set, and no 'VICTIMIZED (w/ QWERTY)' or 'The Catalyst'.

I'm not sure where these came from. I imagine it'll all show up on YouTube eventually. Rewatched the APFMH video....wow I agree with the statements about Brad. He and Phoenix look really really bored during the song. And that's pretty much the heaviest song during the show lol. Mike and Chester are fucking rocking though. They seem to love that song. Far cry from the 2003 Bradford Man is all over the stage here.

Saving my opinion for the studio version but pretty much how I feel. Not a fan of the electronica stuff unless it's Skrillex, who has mastered the art. Bangarang is just epic. But obviously that's not a Linkin Park genre lol. Miss the guitars, screaming, etc.

The question is: did they show any Muse on the webcast or anything?

Yeah probably so. I just don't like them sampling vocals live, I think that's crazy to do when you have six members in the band. Not a fan of Iridescent but I could handle it. It's just one song in the show, lol

Joe has been taking a crowd panorama shot during Given Up since at least the beginning of 2012, like over a year now lol. He posts it on his Twitter. This is the first time you've seen that? At least he's on stage, he used to leave during a few songs in 2007 and 2008.

That's not going to help because it won't do anything for FUTURE purchases of DSPs. Sure, they earned some more money from the older ones that were on there, but that's no promise and no guarantee fans will buy more than 70 per show at future shows.

No, that's BURN IT DOWN from Tokyo too. Tokyo's Summer Sonic is the Marine Stage. Osaka's Summer Sonic is the Ocean Stage. So we are missing BID. And maybe something else if it was shown too.

The two webcasted songs are from Tokyo, not Osaka. Osaka had nothing webcasted.

What is the source for that setlist? How is it possible SIB isn't listed but they played it? lol Wtf why would it be shorter?
