This is the first performance in Pryor for the band, but in Oklahoma the band has previously performed six times previously. In October and November of 2000 they played at the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, both as supporting acts on different tours. They came back to Oklahoma in December of 2000, this time in Oklahoma City, again as a supporting act. The next performance for the band in the state was again in Oklahoma City, this time as headliners of their own festival, Projekt Revolution 2002. During their 2004 Meteora World Tour the band stopped in Norman, OK for a performance ...of which there is no info. So after a four year wait the band finally returned, this time again to Oklahoma City on their 2008 North American Tour. This show is a bit special, Chester was sick so the whole setlist was revised. Dropping five songs all to hard on his voice, the band ended up playing 18 songs, something unheard of for the band as a headliner in 2008. With the band dropping Points of Authority from the set, they took the extended outro they were playing at the time from the song and tacked it onto Papercut instead. Below is a video of What I've Done, opening the set. [video=youtube;69n3HSVx_iU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69n3HSVx_iU[/video] At the previous show, the band played the full version of this tours setlist, bringing back From The Inside, Breaking The Habit, Rebellion and debuting a new version with Darker Than Blood, consisting of Mike and Chester singing the first verse and chorus over a synth backdrop being played by Mike. While the band playing the full playlist was expected, Brad not playing the show was NOT expected. Instead of Brad playing, his guitar tech Benjamin took his role, much in the same way he did at the recent Brazil mini tour. We don't know the exact reason Brad didn't play, but we hope that whatever the reason was he is OK and will be back with the band soon. With so many songs brought into the set it's hard to pick a video to highlight ... so let's just go with A Line In The Sand, seeing as we got another proshot of it. So video of that below. [video=youtube;_ghA17mfq9I]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ghA17mfq9I[/video] So what can we expect from this show? Maybe the band will switch a song in the setlist for another one? Will Brad return to play this show or will Benjamin be able to add another show to his resume? After this show the band rushes to make it to San Antonio, TX on May 24 and then they have nearly a months break before heading over to Montabello, QC, Canada on June 19. Are you going to this show? Do you think the band will play around with the setlist? Will Brad play this show? Come and discuss in our forums. Remaining dates of this tour: May. 24th San Antonio, TX, @ River City Rockfest - AT&T Center Jun. 19th Montebello, QC, Canada @ Amnesia Rock Fest - Marina de Montebello Jun. 23rd Mexico City, Mexico @ Arena Ciudad de Mexico Jun. 25th Monterrey, Mexico @ Arena Monterrey Jun. 27th Mack, CO, @ Loudwire Music Festival - Jam Ranch Jun. 30th Milwaukee, WI, @ Summerfest - Marcus Amphitheater
That clip consists of reused footage from one of the teaser videos from the A Thousand Suns era. It's been part of the video screen footage behind Mike during his solo for the entire Hunting Party touring cycle (a.k.a. it was already up there before LAST November 24th). It means nothing.
