FIVE DAYS LEFT, SO PUMPED FOR THIS!!!!! ...on a different note, any idea when/if M&G invites have been sent out?

Going to the show and signed up for a M&G too... happy to see LP back here after having to cancel their show during the ATS Touring Cycle. Looking forward to a great night! To those who have never been here before, it is a relatively small arena (about 10k altogether, so probably about 7-8k with this not being a 360 show). There are almost no bad vantage points and I am speaking from experience. I have been to shows up close to the stage on the floor and on the ass opposite end of the arena in the second level. Acoustics are pretty good and its very easy to find where you're going when you're walking around. Can't begin to say how much I'm looking forward to this!

I just noticed that Burn It Down has two different track lengths listed. It has 3:50 for the video/radio edit and 4:40 for the album version. The difference is on the Wikipedia page for the album. Now I don't know if I should take this with a grain of salt but this seems kind of odd. Does anyone have more info on this? With the "album length" of BID, it puts the total length of LT to 37:48 (not including the live version of WID on the Japanese bonus track). Album length is irrelevant to me, quality over quantity any day of the week and those who have heard & reviewed LT have liked it. Plus the turnaround time (especially compared to MTM and ATS) is pretty damn good...

I am very, very, VERY excited to hear BID as well as how the band has evolved on Living Things (pun mostly intended, lol). After reading some early reviews and what we have as confirmed tracks, this should be a very exciting year to be an LP fan! #LinkinPark2012 indeed, haha :-D

This is definitely an interesting setlist IMO, some thoughts: - Generally speaking, ND is a great song with a hell of a lot of energy but it makes a weird opener. Though considering its the Transformers 3 Premiere it seems to be a good move, esp for the crowd at this particular show. - Have you actually looked at the beginning of the set? This could be one of the hardest starts ever I think. See: ND -> Papercut -> Given Up -> Faint -> WTCFM -> NMS ; Given Up into Faint alone is ridiculous! Not sure if that's ever been done but on paper it looks incredible! - Middle of the set calms down, relatively at least: WFTE -> Numb -> The Radiance (idk why but I love how the Oppenheimer speech and Catalyst vocals jive here) -> BTH - Crawling into OSC seems like it would end a main setlist IMO. I can't see OSC not closing the main setlist for some reason. I personally think that the main set would end here (if there is an encore break) instead of ITE (which, doesn't seem to have the energy of a closing song despite the name of the song). I'm pretty sure Fallout -> Catalyst has opened encores before on this tour cycle but then again it is the premiere show so Iridescent could open up an encore (if there is one since they have done shows recently w/o breaks). - If WJ & L opens up an encore, you have two of the three Transformers singles back to back at the end of the set (Iridescent -> WID) while the other one opens the show (ND). - I agree w/ Mark's initial post about how its a 'pretty interesting setlist'. Has OSC ever been in the middle of a set instead of opening a show/closing a main set/closing an encore? ---> I'm sure this has been answered somewhere before, but will this show have a DSP or is this the only one on the tour that won't? I bet there will be people recording the intro and when they play Iridescent, but I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering what it sounds/sounded like without the standard crowd distortion.

I'm hoping the same for the 2/4 NYC and 2/11 Mohegan shows, actually. Though would be strangely ok if they were the same because I'm in the pit for the NYC show and in reserved seats next to the stage for the Mohegan Sun show so it'd be interesting to see from a different perspective. (Obviously not ideal, I'd love to see different material but beggars can't be choosers I guess- lol).

I'm going to the 2/4 and 2/11 shows, good to hear that they're randomly rotating setlists. Definitely looking forward to both show and hopefully the weather won't have an effect on either of them. In regard to WJ&L, I kind of hope they drop it altogether- serves no purpose, in my opinion... now especially with this new development.

I 100% agree, been saying this for years actually- lol *edit 2001 Rock AM Ring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHcTVSawNNw 2004 Rock AM Ring: Two comparisons... one opening a show, one in the middle. The Requiem into the Savio speech into this would be fucking nuts, especially with the scream. Then again I might be very biased since the scream gets me totally amped every time I hear it, haha

I feel like I'm the only person that isn't a huge fan of BTH and ITE. I've been a fan of LP since I first bought Hybrid Theory back in 2000 and seen them live 5 times (before this current tour), and find myself liking their harder/heavier songs a lot more. I know its unrealistic to play a totally balls to the wall set every night and I understand the need to please even the 'non-hardcore fans' but in my opinion, they've lost their spark. I know for a fact though that regardless of which set they play those nights, I'll love every minute of the show when I see them on 2/4 and 2/11; seeing them is such a blast.

Damn, yeah that was... only a few days! I wonder if the rest of the tour will post as quickly?

I thought I was the only person who thought that Don't Stay was a good intro, I'd also think that the Savio speech into With You to open a show would be nothing short of incredible. I wish they had With You and Figure .09 brought back to their live shows but since its an ATS promo tour and they haven't played those songs in years, I'm probably doing a lot of wishful thinking at this point- lol.

So I've had the Foursquare and the LP App on my iPhone for quite some time now. I don't see an option to check-in thru the LP application (granted the shows I'm going to are 2 & 3 weeks away). Do we check-in thru Foursquare or the LP app itself, because I also don't see the "Events" section in the LP application that they mention...?

Me too! What row are you? Also, any idea what the first row are in sections 14 and 26? (the two that LPU members have access to thru the presale). I would normally say A but I know the stage could be of the triangular design & when I looked on StubHub for an indicator, the first row could be F because there are no tickets up for A-E... its very rare that front row tickets don't make it online for a 3rd party sale. Anyone have any idea what it is?

I got my tickets too (came on 12/20... Monday). Are you in the pit or did you get reserved seats? (if you got seats, where are you sitting?)

bloc party over POA is fucking epic, was at the MSG show back in 2008 (also with jay-z making an appearance) when they did it. POA with a fort minor intro and outro (there they go) was awesome when they did it... who knows, maybe they'll bring it back on the US tour if they mix-n-match the setlists a little bit?

I signed up for the MSG & Mohegan Sun shows...

I actually noticed this too and I think I'm in the same boat as you. I'm going to the 2/4/11 show @ MSG and saw it on that receipt but I didn't see it for the 2/11/11 Mohegan Sun show if I recall correctly. I'm just going to wait and see what happens since the 2/11 show tickets ship sooner than the 2/4 one.

haha, I'm going to both shows too- I'm an hour away from NYC and about 90min from Mohegan Sun...

Yeah, same thing for me... I got my tickets on day 2 of the presale right as soon as they went on sale (on time too instead of the B.S. 15min early on day 1). Entered in my info ASAP and was lucky enough to get them in the 2minutes they were available then. Got pit for me and 3 other friends of mine, so excited! Was in row C of section 7 back for the 2008 show, this seems to be quite the upgrade! Can't wait for this awesome-ness...

Hey everyone, I do have info regarding the NYC show. They apparently went on sale at 11:45 which makes no sense since I was online at that time and couldn't access it. By the time I was granted access at 11:50 and completed the forms at 11:51 it was already sold out. Total B.S. this is, I really hope there are more tickets available in the next 2 days of the presale because the general sale is also far more expensive. Plus, I don't think they would shut out 95% of LPUX members and all other LP Access and LP.com members who haven't even had a chance to buy yet... *edit: Oh yeah, if you look at the MSG seat map that LP released, they have the whole pit listed as available and some kinda awful reserved seats as well. I highly doubt they sold ALL of them. Times will tell if they are time releasing the rest.....

Definitely going with 3 friends, went back in 2008 and it was incredible! Note: how do I get my 'group' name at left to change from 'Members' to 'Contributors'? I did contribute full show information to the 7/20/2008 show in Hartford to Hahninator...

I already bought presale tickets on 11/15... bringing the g/f and another friend who might be has a bigger LP fan than me... got reserved tickets because my g/f has never been to an LP show before and doesn't want to get knocked around in the pit for her first experience (I've been to 5 shows) while my friend likes to take video so I figured it would make sense to have a relatively unobstructed view

it surprises me how few people are including with you and figure .09 in their setlists: 1) Don't Stay (Rock AM Ring '04 style) 2) Lying From You (euro PR + USA PR '08 intro) 3) With You (reanimation intro) 4) No More Sorrow (no intro, brad uses ebow) 5) From The Inside (studio) 6) Wake (original, not 2.0) 7) Given Up (w/ outro) 8) Points of Authority (Bloc Party intro, There They Go + 20 beat outro + blend into...) 9) Hip Hop Medley (Step Up, It's Goin' Down, Nobody's Listening) 10) In Pieces 11) Papercut (w/ intro) 12) Shadow of The Day 13) Pushing Me Away (studio) 14) Breaking The Habit (studio) 15) Crawling (HHH acapella over reanimated intro) 16) Figure .09 17) No Roads Left 18) Faint (w/ outro) ---------- 19) What I've Done (long ambulance intro) 20) High Voltage 21) A Place For My Head (brief solo intro) 22) One Step Closer (gunshot intro, reanimation bridge and outro) ....................i know, i can dream {SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif

1) figure .09: from start to finish, the energy in this song is incredible! the buildup to the bridge around 2:08 is amazing, such a great pump-up song for me! 2) wth>you (with you): the reanimated version is so friggin good. the intro scream gets you right away (i.e. rock AM ring 01 and '04) and as an added bonus, i love the hip-hop bit starting at 2:28. the studio version is really good, but if they had the scream as the intro, it would be #1 on my list. 3) given up: non-stop energy from start to finish, the live version esp. with the outro is nuts! oh yeah, that 17 second scream kinda help too, haha. ... if it was expanded to 5, id have to go with faint and OSC due to their intense energy. although i could rate all the songs from 1 to finish but that would take a bit more time {SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif

1) Don't Stay (Rock AM Ring '04 style) 2) Lying From You (with new'ish intro) 3) With You (reanimation intro) 4) No More Sorrow (no intro, brad uses ebow) 5) From The Inside (studio) 6) Wake (original, not 2.0) 7) Given Up (w/ outro) 8) Points of Authority (Bloc Party intro, There They Go + 20 beat outro + blend into) 9) Hip Hop Medley (Step Up, It's Goin' Down, Nobody's Listening) 10) In Pieces 11) Papercut (w/ intro) 12) Shadow of The Day 13) Pushing Me Away (studio) 14) Breaking The Habit (studio) 15) Crawling (HHH over reanimated intro) 16) Figure .09 17) No Roads Left 18) Faint (w/ outro) ---------- 19) What I've Done (long ambulance intro) 20) High Voltage 21) A Place For My Head (brief solo intro) 22) One Step Closer (gunshot intro, reanimation bridge and outro) ....................i know, i can dream {SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif edit: i added up some average times of songs and came to a total of 5640 seconds or 94 minutes (including a 3+ minute encore break) so while it is pretty much a balls to the wall setlist (hey, while it is a custom setlist... lol), it does fit the normal 90-95 minute setlists they seem to play most nights.
