Yup, checked the DSP. If you don't have it, check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wiE458NElw Bleed it Out closed the main set, Faint closed the second encore. Also, the missing track 13 in this show (the one TTSoul mentioned above should be In the End, it'd be the last song before the encore.

http://lplive.net/shows/20080215.php Tracks 17 and 21 (Faint and Bleed it Out) are missing...

Definitely a mistake...probably best to post it in the site corrections thread though.

"Contractual reasons?" "Accidentally?" Bullshit. Berlin was on the DSP site from the day the DSP pre-orders went live, which was before the show even took place, and nothing was done about it until now. The band has every right and the means to release this show if they were to choose to do so, but time and time again, they pussy out of releasing a DSP for any kind of "one-off" show that isn't part of a major tour, even when we know for a fact the show was recorded and professionally mixed. It baffles me.

Yep, nobody gives a shit about an album that's been out for a whopping two weeks.

Just thought I'd clarify something I know people were asking about a while back: The versions of Tinfoil and Powerless on the initial leak of the album were indeed different from the final versions - both tracks were cut very badly at the beginning. The version of Tinfoil on the leak is almost 10 seconds shorter than the album version, and Powerless is also missing several seconds of its intro on the leak.

It just occurred to me...this show is 5 years to the day after the PR07 show at the same venue. Has that happened before? Same venue, same date, different year? Hmm...

Here we go again, this is getting almost comical. "Hmm, it's been about a few months since an LP in Brazil thread was posted, about time for another one!"

The remixes will probably just focus on whatever single is out during a given period...most of LP's official remixes in recent years have been of single tracks (What I've Done, Leave Out All the Rest, The Catalyst, Waiting For the End). I bet we get a Lost in the Echo remix either next month or September.

Jim's been their production manager since at least 2004...the other guy might have been Rob McDermott or someone like that who was part of their management team.

Yeah, each one was done by a different artist...I think there was a post on Mike's blog around that time that listed who did each one. Here's a link from Suru that lists some of them, but it's only about half of them: http://www.suru-la.com/blog/102/projekt-revolution-posters

Brad still uses the Ibanez LF-7 pedal as part of his live rig.

Open Labs NeKo XXL. And as usual, I have more info for you guys...some of this isn't exactly "new" time-wise, but it's still new information: -Final say on the octave effect Brad uses on the Waiting For the End solo: It's an octave-up patch on his T.C. Electronics G-Major processor, controlled with his expression pedal. His Boss CE-5 is also on for that part to make it sound a bit fuller. -Similarly, the effects for Wretches and Kings (even though it's not being played anymore): That one is actually an Electro-Harmonix HOG with an octave down setting for the "DUN DUN DUN" part in the main riff. The dissonant-sounding part at the end of each repeat of the riff (the part Brad plays way up at the top of the neck) has a second octave band brought in, so the signal is actually split into 3 notes for that part. -The red PRS that Mike is currently using for some performances of Waiting For the End has quite a history...Brad used it on No More Sorrow a lot starting in 2007, but I bet you didn't know this next part: It's the same guitar Brad was using on Figure.09 as far back as 2003! It was modified quite a bit following the Meteora touring cycle - the bridge pickup was changed and it had the Fernandes Sustainer modification done to it. -As far as Brad's current effects rig goes, the Boss BF-3 flanger pedal has been retired for the time being, as the current live set doesn't have any parts that require a flanger. He's also added a Devi Ever Shoegazer fuzz pedal, which is used in combination with one of his Boss CS-3's on Burn It Down. Brad's MXR Micro Amp and one of his CS-3's are both pretty much on at all times these days to help thicken up his overall sound.

...I haven't seen this much idiocy in such a short period of time since LPU8 came out. I'll save the time and effort and just clarify one major point though: The $299 for the software only applies if you're JUST buying the software. All of the computers in this line come with it pre-installed.

Some more info I've been able to track down lately... -The two guitars Brad is using on With You/Runaway are actually PRS DC3's that have been modified to have humbuckers in the bridge, not NF3's like I originally thought. -Some more info on Chester's Green Guitar Project guitar: It has 22 frets, Gibson-style tuning pegs (probably Klusons), and the pickup in it is a Dimarzio "rail" pickup of some type. The edges of the body are also unfinished. -The blue PRS that Mike used on Waiting For the End at the Third Encore performances and the House of Blues show is actually a Tim Mahoney signature model SE that's been repainted a darker blue color (with the previously mentioned Fernandes Sustainer mod done to it). Brad actually used the same guitar on No More Sorrow at the Mayan Theater show last year, but I had never noticed. Speaking of the Mayan Theater show last year, I also found out that some of LP's old stage equipment was auctioned off for charity at that show. A couple of the guitars that were auctioned off were the orange Ibanez Brad used to use on With You/Runaway during the Meteora period, and the black Ibanez he used for Don't Stay.

I remember seeing those in the video you're talking about a while back, cool to know where they come from though!

I don't think he has at any of the TV performances. Not sure why, but it seems like he only bothers with them for full shows.

...Not even close.

Pretty sure I'm the first person to mention this, which I find surprising...the live version of Tinfoil is in a completely different key than the album version. Sounds like they dropped the pitch down by a whole step or so to make it cross-fade into Faint more smoothly. Wasn't sure where else to mention this, but I noticed it after listening to one of the DSPs, so...

The songs are "officially" in all caps, as is the album title. That's just part of the way the band chose to promote this album, for whatever reason. So TECHNICALLY speaking, if you want to refer to the songs the way the band and their management do, they should all be in caps... ...but I don't think that makes it any less stupid. At least with Reanimation, it made sense to do them in all caps because of all the different characters, it just made things look more uniform - "P5HNG ME A*WY" vs. "P5hng Me A*wy" for instance. With this album, they're just...regular song titles. In all caps. I don't get it.

With the "keep my distance" lyric serving as a common thread in both the main part of the song and Mike's rap, I'd assume it's all supposed to be one song. The live version of And One was totally different from the EP version anyway, even if you don't factor in the absence of the rap part at the end. I've always assumed they re-worked the song at some point between the HTEP and Hybrid Theory.

That's not the version they use...or even the same song, actually. They've been using the Bluegrass Tribute to Linkin Park version of One Step Closer as their post-show music at most shows since the start of the A Thousand Suns touring cycle. I believe this was something that actually started when Dead By Sunrise was touring, then it carried over into LP tours as well.

I know in the case of the Powerless intro, it was probably just a result of the stream version having a really awkwardly-placed split between Tinfoil and Powerless. They split the tracks a bit too late on that version, right after the first piano chord that should have marked the beginning of Powerless. The very beginning of Tinfoil was also tacked onto the end of Until it Breaks on the stream.

I've tried figuring out the guitar in that one before, and it left me stumped. I'll probably take another crack at it though, as I pretty much refuse to let a song defeat me, haha.

The APFMH bridge sample is triggered by Rob using one of his pads, Phoenix also doubles it on bass.
