Linkin Park continues their two stop Brazilian tour, this time playing in Brasilia! This is a new stop for the band, so, since I don’t have any history to talk about here, let’s continue on from what I talked about yesterday: Linkin Park's history in Brazil in general. This makes it the seventh time the band have performed in the country, after 2004, 2010, four times in 2012 as part of their South American tour, and yesterday. I’ll talk more about the show yesterday further down, but, for now, enjoy Bleed It Out/Sabtoage from their 2012 show in São Paulo. [video=youtube;VGxYoLW6tGs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGxYoLW6tGs[/video] No I will not stop posting this song. It's too awesome for that Alright … let’s talk about the show yesterday. Most likely due to illness, Brad did not attend the meet & greet or play the show. This is the first time ever that Brad has missed an entire headline show. In 2012, he missed a few TV and award performances in Japan due to being sick, but those were just one-to-three song performances. His guitar tech Ben played in his place. Something similar happened back in 2011 when Phoenix missed a show due to being ill and his tech Ted stood in for him. This was documented in this LPTV episode. Thanks to Brad having an ear infection and not being able to fly, the band had to cancel their 2008 shows in Sweden and Switzerland. As someone who was in place for the Sweden show and saw it cancelled three hours before it was set to start ... yeah, that sucked. There was a huge gap between Wastelands and the Ballad Medley, due to an issue with the equipment. This gave Chester some time to talk to the audience, something that the band don't do that much of these days. Because of the tech issues, the band skipped playing Castle of Glass and the long intro to Mike's solo medley. Apparently, the problem was that Mikes keyboard had no power, according to a tweet by the man himself. The show was riddled with issues, but it was really interesting to watch and the band seemed to have fun with it. One of the major errors that occurred was during Burn It Down. Not only were there synth issues due to the aforementioned power problem, but Mike and Chester seemed to have gotten confused and screwed up their vocal parts after the first chorus. Take a look for yourself. [video=youtube;DhRhMNEa8LQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhRhMNEa8LQ[/video] "That was interesting ..." Today, the band plays in Brasilia, something they have never done before. The set they played yesterday would have been a standard Set B from The Carnivores Tour, had there not been issues with the equipment. Can we expect the same set today or will they play Set A from the previous tour? Something that you might be asking is ”Will Brad play tomorrow?” We don’t know, but most likely not. No matter what, we hope he feels better soon. After this, the band takes 4 days off before playing a show for Guitar Center on the 24th. After that, they play at the Stars of the Seasons Gala in Arizona on the 25th. Then begins the European Tour. Are you going to the show tonight? Did you attend yesterday's show?

Jesus, the band isn't lucky this year. Brad on the first show of the European tour, Chester on the first show of the Carnivores tour, now Brad again for the South American tour.
Chester nailed it vocally. I can appreciate that. Sounded interesting without the synths in the first verse. Dig it.
LMAO that Burn It Down... Chester freaking nailed it, but damn you'd expect a new guitarist to fuck something up, not Mike.
Hahaha that BID performance was awesome I'm relieved to hear Chester sounding so good again, his voice was sounding really worn out the last few months. His performance on Given Up was great!
you are right, that shit was for real I ve said this before, but their mistakes are amaizing I rather this kind of mistakes than a fkin playback shit Thanks mike, chester for screw it down
I just love how they take such mistakes in stride. Some artists get really pissed or seem to be affected when this stuff happens, but they just laugh at each other.
