Holy crap. Huge thread. Getting ready to do our post tour wrapup today.

Oh wow this is awesome. Great quality. Hopefully we can get it ripped.

The band doesn't cue every single sample though and that's a fact. I have a problem with them interrupting Chester, as well as other people as evidenced earlier in this thread. I don't think they start too soon in the setlist but they start too soon while Chester is in the middle of saying something. DSP's prove this. I don't think anything is comical about that. LP plays almost the same songs at almost every show. I have seen 12, so how is the setlist adding to the "fun" factor at the shows now a days? There is a big difference between the setlist each show and what Chester says each show. Listen to Sunrise, Tampa and Atlanta from this year - the three shows I saw. The talk by Chester was totally different each night and also none of those nights were similar to what he said this summer in Germany on Projekt Revolution or in Hamburg or in Helsinki, for example. So he doesn't "say the same things over and over and over and over and over and over again", at least not at my shows that I go to! Not even close. The talk between Chaz and the crowd was 100% different each of those three nights. Whether Mike was really bound by Apple for the fan playing guitar on a song, we'll never know. It's possible but it's also possible it was an excuse...who really knows but the band. I do have a feeling he'd be honest with the fans though due to his track records of honesty in M&Gs. Almost every time a fan has requested a reasonable song, whether over POA or BIO, at a M&G, Mike has tried his best to oblige. I know he couldn't do High Voltage recently but he may have felt it was not possible over BIO. But it is a fact that he tries to do what fans suggest and I can list a million examples to contradict your post.

That is the point. LP mgmt, the record label, etc can see stuff like the fun items we post a lot easier on TPB vs Demonoid. There's logic behind it.

Wow! Can you take a pic/scan the setlist and ticket for the show by any chance for our show page?

This. QFT. Mike doesn't do EVERYTHING but he is in command of the show and in command of the band in the studio, ie: head honcho. LP went to him when they had to write New Divide for Tranformers (read the Kerrang interview) and said "Yo Mike, whatcha got?" Mike flew LP members out to HIS tour bus on the Fort Minor World Tour just to write stuff for Minutes To Midnight. Watch their DVDs, Mike is the boss man in the band. He plays like 70 different instruments on stage, he came up with the LPU Summits and LPU ideas, etc.

What have I complained about this tour besides this? Nothing lol. It is a FACT that the samples/songs start too soon and interrupt Chester, whether you want to admit it or not. Yeah he says generic stuff each show but at least he talks. Of course there are curfews and stuff but that has nothing to do with what I am saying. Your post is very irrelevant. I'm talking about when Chester is in the middle of a phrase a song starts. Cutting songs has nothing to do with this. Reread my post.

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."

I hope we somehow get the full DSP-quality show sometime in the future. Whether it's an iTunes download or what, I'd like the full thing. The cover song was awesome. The overall show was really good in my opinion, surprisingly a great crowd - the pit on No More Sorrow was badass. With that said, here's a few things I wanna discuss. One, after the cover it appeared to me once again this year that it seems like the band is rushing things live. Like, they are in a big hurry to play the next song and not taking their time to talk between them. In 2007 even, like listen to Auburn after POA...Chester is blowing up. In 2011 it's pissing me off that almost every time Chester talks to the crowd, the next song starts asap. Leipzig with BITS, London with WJL, etc. The songs are starting so quickly now after the band talks for a sentence or two and it literally interrupts them. It's annoying to me slightly. Anyone else notice this? Papercut at London night 2 2010. It happens almost every single show on the ATS cycle. VERY noticeable to me. Next, I dislike how Blackout keeps getting the shaft. It's been played a few times on this tour but only at headlining shows (non festivals). They seem to not be very fond of that song live in my opinion. I was looking forward to it at this show but it was dropped for the cover. That's ok but I mean c'mon, it's a new song and fans really never got to see it. I guess I should elaborate by saying this doesn't really happen much with LP songs - meaning just about every cycle has every song off the album played to many many fans. The only exceptions to this are Easier To Run and Hit The Floor, and maybe even you could argue Valentine's Day or In Between. I guess the songs from ATS that this happens to are Blackout and Burning In The Skies. That's sad because BITS is a single and Blackout is a big big fan favorite, something ETR/HTF and VD/IB weren't. I don't think ATS will have any shows after Asia unfortunately either. In previous cycles, like PR07/PR08 for example, not everyone saw SOTD or LOATR or IP the first year but LP kept them the second year and just about everyone saw all 3. Well there was only 1 US tour for this album and it was VERY small compared to previous ones....Blackout and BITS weren't in every set but LP won't be back with those songs most likely. I dunno, maybe I'm just bitter because I saw 3 shows and didn't see either song (although I caught them both like 4+ times in soundcheck) or something.

Mike runs the band whether you want to admit it or not. He writes the songs, he commands everything.

Wow Rolling In The Deep was amazing. I thought this was going to be the best show of the tour! ....until Blackout was dropped. /emo

LOL @ censor

They are like 5 songs into the show what the fuck is your problem?

Fuck Apple doing this shit.

The lighting is epic, wow.

It's live!

Shinoda needs more grease on the hair

At the LPU M&G they said the set was changing up a bit for the show. Should be fun.

Let's fucking go! Skype chat looking good. 400+ users online right now. Epic.

Download Skype, it'll be worth it! Gonna be badass Great chats will happen If you are still having problems then add user swimminginsmoke and I will invite you in.

Copy and paste the following line into your browser after installing Skype and logging in: skype:?chat&blob=ynsxmec4dLp60nAqeRzSAcC65w1TCOi8l-1EHm6M8J9evcEK90B9XEgixIBmPxiThmnEsbYhnojf8e6il9W5OGY LPL Skype chat go!!!!!!

I'm sure people will but if not it's not a big deal, it's on demand after the performance.

I wonder what the surprise will be. I hope it's With You but it might be a collab, or it might be nothing at all...shooting a video for a song or something lol. Regardless the live broadcast will be great. I hope they play a good setlist with Burning In The Skies and Blackout...that's the only thing I'm hoping. Great proshot videos of both would be sweeeeeeet. Oh, and not black and white

Thank you very much! Definitely appreciated!

Ok that's perfect. Can you email it to pics@lplive.net or post it here?
