Today, Mike went live on the Linkin Park Facebook page to talk to fans twice. He didn't save the first video (on purpose) and it didn't post, but he went live a second time for fans who missed the first one and the second video was saved. Here are both: The second video can be watched on the Linkin Park Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/linkinpark/videos/789297224735486/

Ryan sings a good Let Down. I think he can do the rest of these. I bet at their London show he takes lead on the DBS tracks, they probably did guest singers just because it's a memorial event for Chester.

I really can't believe he did Cigarettes. That's fucking epic. It's Goin' Down sounds awesome. I hope all of this sticks for the USA tour. Vienna definitely got lucky and got one of those "one in a million" epic setlist shows. Wow.

He played three of four in one show LOL epic!!

Mike has launched another setlist poll on his Twitter, this time saying, "I can’t decide which of the following songs to put in the set tonight in Vienna. Which should it be? Until It Breaks Cigarettes (live remix) Kenji It's Goin' Down" As a refresher, Until It Breaks was performed just once on this tour, in Köln as a surprise. Next, Cigarettes was soundchecked in Stockholm with It's Goin' Down, and Kenji has been played throughout the touring cycle but became a bit of a rarity in Europe. However, it has made an appearance in the last two shows in the encore due to fan requests (Stockholm and Offenbach). What did you vote for?

A new show has been announced in the middle of Mike's North American Post Traumatic Tour! Mike will perform at Buzzfest in Woodlands, Texas on October 27th at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. The lineup for the show is as follows: A Perfect Circle, Dirty Heads, Chevelle, Mike, Puddle Of Mudd, Scott Stapp, The Struts, The Nixons, Badflower, Grandson, Bear Hands, Hold On Hollywood, and The Blue Stones. Look for a guest appearance from Grandson on Running From My Shadow! Who is headed to this show?

It's show day in Offenbach, Germany... Mike headlines Stadthalle Offenbach tonight! This show was added after the Köln show sold out instantly, which turned out to be an epic show itself. Mike has actually visited this venue once before, on March 12, 2001, Linkin Park opened for Deftones there. The setlists have been changing like crazy on this tour... more than we've ever seen mid-tour before. Fans are loving it and Mike & his band are really putting on some great shows. Just in Moscow, we saw Wisdom Justice & Love and Iridescent in piano form. Stockholm had the full version of Heavy performed for the first time ever in piano form. If you want a fun watch... check out the Stockholm soundcheck, where Mike ran through It's Goin' Down and Cigarettes (Fort Minor live version) for the first time since 2015. Will we see these songs pop up at the last few shows of this tour? With 26 setlist entries for Stockholm, literally anything is possible at this point in the tour. It is clear the band is having a great time and it's really opening up Mike's creativity to change the set. The order is changing each show and he's even taking requests. Cigarettes acapella was performed in Moscow and then Kenji was performed due to a request in the encore in Stockholm. Not bad! And let's not forget the first verse of A Place For My Head came acapella as well. For those going to Offenbach, have a great time. It is most certainly going to be a different show than the Köln set and you should see some treats!

Damn. Amazing. Where at in the set?

Heads up, Ohio (& Kentucky) fans! Mike has added a show in Cincinnati, Ohio at Bogart's on November 12th, 2018. LPU presale & VIP goes on sale today (the 4th), and the public on sale is the 7th. This show fills in one of the bigger gaps between dates on the tour, with the other one coming between the New Orleans and Dallas shows. Let's see if they add Houston. Who is going to Cincinnati?

Did anyone go to this show? Apparently the radio winners + LPU soundcheck was awesome. Kenji, (someone requested Bubbles but Mike said no lol), Cigarettes in full, It's Goin' Down. Kenji played in full in the show encore due to a request. Wow.

Agreed. This was basically my point from the start but I made the thread so close to the Bowl show that it really triggered a lot of people. Mike is doing outstanding live. The Reading show... wow. His voice is so much better now than it was in May. Matt is also doing quite well. I think Matt is making people warm up to the idea of someone in the background with LP to do instruments and a few backing vocals.

Ethan mixed those. Yeah I noticed that on BID. That's how we tracked down how to identify the show. Seems easy to slip that into the mix when they edited the songs so much, especially since it's sampled. If we want to talk about the editing, sure. Some sloppy moments... muting Mike's piano after Crawling, editing IN a Chester vocal messup on NCSM, etc.

Holy hell this is an amazing show.

Agreed. Phoenix + rest of LP can definitely handle some but might as well throw someone else in there. Jon is perfect, he was the MVP of the Bowl show. Matt is like a "discount Jon" as Dylan says, which I agree with. As optimistic as I have been about LP, even I am surprised how good these LP songs are sounding live and how good a band can be on them. WTCFM full, Roads full, Castle full, etc... lots of good stuff going on right now. There's a lot of LP stuff he isn't even touching yet like Invisible, Iridescent, Burning in the Skies, Battle Symphony, Nobody Can Save Me, One More Light, Rebellion, etc. LP is going to be fine.

I am literally down with anything. I love the sets, stoked he has Kenji in there and is playing some of the Fort Minor stuff. Insanely deep cuts I don't think stand a chance because of the amount of Post Traumatic material in there. I do hope we see Promises live at some point. I love the sets so far.

Damn this is an incredible set.

I bet he squeezes in IOU at this one and shortens the ITE speech.

Nice festival set. I still think Watching As I Fall is a better festival song than Roads Untraveled but that's cool. It was great in Camden and is the only festival to have it so far I believe. IOU dropped due to time. I bet Mike went all "VH1 Storytellers" on ITE again and used up too much time lol

I messaged Calum (shadowfax) on Facebook about it. I'll let you know what he says.
