They want you to think they're playing 30 songs, but they're only playing 16 full songs. The rest is just half songs/intros/interludes. Milton Keynes was 1hr37min and their actual set is around 1hr40min so it's not so different.

Great stuff! Thanks a lot

Sometimes most of the time I don't understand Linkin Park's logic for the shows they pick for DVDs. I mean, Download Festival was by far the most epic/unique event on this tour cycle, yet they decide to record a random show with a setlist we've seen all year long (we have proshots of Rock in Rio, Rock am Ring, Camden, Hollywood Bowl, and Circuito do Brasil). I wonder if they'll release this as The Hunting Party+ or as a separate CD/DVD.

Don't get your hopes too high. This is coming from a band that said they wanted to play ATS in full live (never happened), made Living Things an album to be played live (ended up playing only half of it), a band that came up with a "visceral" sound different from what's on the radio (and released the two ballads as singles), a ''carnivores' tour with a set full of radio friendly songs, and a long etc. Phoenix 'reason' to not play new stuff on this tour is just an excuse for laziness. None of the LP stuff is technically challenging so if they wanted, they could play pretty much anything from their catalogue without even rehearsing (but they would probably tell you they can't because they need to figure out the lights, pyro, screens, etc that go with every song, which is, for me, another excuse. I don't give a fuck if they play an entire set with no lights or 1000 LED screens on the stage as long as the songs they play are all badass. /endrant

Dang it. They're playing in Nashville and I'll be out of the US in January. I wish the tour was in March. Whatever. It's cool that they're playing in places they haven't visited in a long time. I hope they add more THP songs to the set.

By far the best LPTV in a while. Great to see a longer episode and more backstage stuff. I wish they had asked Daron something. I hope the next episodes are this good.

That was pretty cool to watch! Great background music that MTV picked. You know you're a LP fan when you recognize every single one of those rare demos/songs haha. I know that they've said multiple times that early on some bands treated them horribly on tour but I didn't know until now that one of those bands was The Union Unfderground. Thanks for the link!

Btw, Rebellion didn't have an extended intro like the show page says. They played the studio version.

Seeing Daron on stage with LP made my day. What a fucking genius.

I wonder what was the project that according to Chester fell apart while they were making ATS.

It's the opportunity for Daron to join them and play Rebellion, but I'm not holding my breath.

Exactly my thoughts. That was Brad's only serious answer.

http://www.chideo.com/chideo/2023# Mike reveals that the audio they wanted to use after Keys to the Kingdom was originally a clip of a boy saying "a cold doesn't bother me anyway" (quote from the movie Frozen) but Disney didn't want them to use it as part of the album so they replaced it with a boy saying 'I'm not allowed to say certain things', in reference to the original clip.

Got back home from the show. It was awesome. I'm glad I was there for the new setlist debut. Overall the set has some highs and lows. I'll keep saying that the shortened songs idea makes zero sense, and that crap like Joe Solo (yeah, cool effects and stuff but I'd rather have a song there) and the Castle of Glass version they play should be removed. Also, too many singles and the song election/order for the encore can be vastly improved. Other than that, I have to say that I had a lot of fun and that the band played flawlessly, except for a few mistakes by Brad and Joe. DOYS/LFY was a nice surprise. People were loud as hell from beginning to end and Chester was on fire. Man, he's from another planet.

Going to this show with the LPL guys! I can't wait. I hope the set is different but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks that from Minutes to Midnight on, all the alternative album covers of every album look better than the one LP picked as the main album cover.

Pretty bad setlist. I don't see how this is a high energy 'visceral' show. Too many singles. Shortened songs is ridiculous. Never heard of a band doing that before. Intro + joe solo + mike solo + robot boy interlude + blackout interlude crap = play instead 2 or 3 full songs. They destroyed castle of glass. They rehearsed by myself , forgotten and pushing for the download festival show, so they could for instance rotate those songs, that'd be a cool thing. They can add one or two more THP songs (aren't carnivores and hunting party basically the same idea?). I can't believe they shortened UIG. So there you go .. They can play a 22 song set with 14 singles, one or two 'rare' songs being rotated, and 6 THP songs. /endrant

I can't believe they are still play an intro, interludes, doing Joe solo crap, etc instead of full songs in a shortened set ...

There you go http://collider.com/mike-shinoda-joe-hahn-mall-interview-comic-con-interview/

Playing the same set for another entire tour is disappointing. I'll never understand the shortened songs crap or why they think that playing that awful version of Castle of Glass is better than the original song. I understand the idea of the ballad medley but they've been playing it for way too long. On a recent interview, this was Mike's response to a question about setlists: His response is really pathetic and it's sad to think that they want to play a show for 'casual' listeners. I don't know why they don't make different setlists every night, like give each a city a 'surprise' song or something like that. It's not that we're asking them to drop all the singles for b-sides but one song each night won't hurt. Having said all this, at least I'm glad I'll get to see 5 songs off of THP. Rebellion is a great jam and I'm excited to hear it live.

I don't understand their logic. Two consecutive albums saying that they are writing songs that are fun to play live and then they completely ignore half of those albums live. I'm not saying they should play the entire album every night but they could easily learn all the songs and rotate them, having GATS, UIG and Final Masquerade in every set list. Then again, they talk about how soft music is and that they want to write heavy songs but they release the two soft songs as singles, which means that from their heaviest album to date, THP, the only two songs that have a secure spot in their set lists are the soft songs ...

The ScuzzTV youtube channel uploaded a very interesting interview with Chester prior to their set at Download. Chester discusses his early influences, Grey Daze and the entire LP career. There are some interesting stories about the early LP days that I think he's never told before. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UTX_GgNzEY

Great LPTV! Download is going to be awesome. And I can't wait for some sort of THP making of.

Nice video! Cool effects and I always enjoy seeing band playing the song.

This song is fucking awesome. It was the song I was looking forward the most and mother of god, what a monster! It completely fulfilled my expectations. It's gonna be hard to top this song but I have faith that the rest of the songs we haven't heard are as good.
