08.22.12 - Cincinnati, Ohio

[Mark]

After last night's stop in Detroit, Linkin Park roll into the Buckeye State to perform their 8th concert of the Honda Civic Tour at Cincinnati's Riverbend Music Center. LP have previously played Cincinnati in 2008, 2004 and all the way back in 2000, a mere two weeks before the release of 'Hybrid Theory'. Last year's scheduled concert in Cincinatti was cancelled because Chester fell ill mid-way through their North American tour.

Last night's setlist featured a few changes, most namely the re-introduction of "IN MY REMAINS", "Papercut", "Lying From You" and "When They Come For Me" into the mix at the expense of "LIES GREED MISERY", "A Place For My Head" and "Points of Authority" from their Camden (08.17) and Atlanta (08.19) shows. The band have been playing similar-ish setlists in sets of two throughout the tour thus far, so Cincinnati fans should expect something along these lines.

I'll be there, pretty pumped!

[2xPutt]

Me and my fiancee' will be there, too. Can't fucking wait!

[Kirbyscream]

Quick note.. They didn't tour here in 2011- it was cancelled due to Chester illness I'll be there - so excited

[Omar Ali]

Seems like a good time to debut CASTLE OF GLASS, since they are playing at the "Riverbend" Center.

Why is there always a picture of your avatar when you guys post it on Facebook?

Anyway, for those who are going, have fun!

[YoMarques]

Have fun, guys!

that would be awesome

I wonder if they will do something special to 'make up' for having to cancel last year. not that they HAVE to, but the guys are awesome and sounds like something they might do.

[Comstock]

When will they start playing more from Living Things? Like Castle of Glass, Roads Untraveled and Powerless?

[Soul]

Possible debut of COG today.

Take me down to the river bend

Riverbend Music Center

[Rezanator]

I honestly expected them to perform more songs off Living Things. I would love to hear live renditions of Roads Untraveled, Castle of Glass, I'll be Gone, Powerless. I wonder when they'll debut those songs. As good as the old songs are (referring to HT and Meteora mainly), I would love to see them incorporate more of the newer songs.

This was mentioned half a day before you posted.

[Soul]

Fuck, too slow XD

They'll probably play COG eventually because its the third single. Probably not this time around, maybe in South America. In Alpharetta M&G, Mike said they didn't have enough time to practice more of the new and old songs, so they can't play some of the LT songs.

[Broman]

COG hasn't been 100% confirmed to be the next single and seeing how a music video is already in the works for it by EA, I doubt it will be a single, like POWERLESS

[Soul]

Late setlist post...

Lets see if they decide to do the COG thing cause of the irony.

I was supposed to go last time they came, but the show got canceled. I had to miss this show for personal reasons. Maybe someday I'll get to see the band with my own eyes instead of through a computer screen, as creepy as that sounds.
