23.09.2011 - Bangkok, Thailand

Tonight Linkin Park will play the first of two remaining Asia shows in Bangkok, Thailand at Aktive Square. This will be the third show of the band's career in Bangkok with the first two coming in 2004 and 2007 at the same venue. After tonight's show they will travel to Singapore where the band will play at the Singapore F1 Grand Prix (Sept. 25) to close out this current Asia tour leg. Then, after taking a few weeks off, Linkin Park will play their last scheduled show of 2011 in Pensacola, Florida, USA (Oct. 16) where they will close out the DeLuna Festival.

The show tonight comes after the band's performance in Jakarta, Indonesia (Sept. 21). The setlist at that show did not see anything new. Although, it's worth noting that "Blackout" was played again. The song has now been in the setlist for five straight shows. In the past the song has been played on an inconsistent basis so seeing this current streak is quite surprising. Other than "Blackout", however, the band has had the same twenty or so staple songs that have been played every night as of late. Though with those songs they have mixed up their order multiple times. On this tour we have seen the encore open with "Wisdom, Justice, and Love" and "Iridescent", "Empty Spaces" and "When They Come for Me", and "Fallout" and "The Catalyst." Also, songs including "Papercut", "One Step Closer", "Crawling", "In the End", "Bleed it Out", "Shadow of the Day", "What I've Done", and "New Divide" have been in and out of the encore part of the show.

*Despite earlier reports that Empty Spaces was skipped, this now appears to not be the case. According to @potelpcatalyst on twitter, apparently there were some technical issues during Empty Spaces, and these technical issues gave off the appearance that Empty Spaces was dropped when it was not. Brad still did his part on megaphone.

**Again, according to @potelpcatalyst on twitter, Blackout was dropped from the setlist. This is possibly due to the fact that the show started late, and because of the fact that Dave was not performing tonight due to illness which means his synthesizer part couldn't be played. It appears bass/guitar tech Ted took his place off stage for the songs that WERE played. Get well Dave!

 

Omg they dropped Empty Spaces

​

 

Phoenix isn't performing? Weeeeeeird. Are they just going with no bass then?

 

Ah right, forgot about the techs haha. That's probably what's happening then.

 

Wait, what? 16 Songs?

Hell no!

 

But the last update was 1 hour ago, that's strange.

 

The new guys has the same moves as Dave

 

I think the audience wants their money back if "Empty Spaces" was dropped o.0

Looks like a tech on the far right of the stage on bass.

 

I figure it should be worth noting, even though this has happened all tour, that A Place For My Head was performed with Bleed It Out, after watching a recent video uploaded today.

Mike punches Phoenix in the genitals

Phoenix: Ouch now I may never pass on my ginger creed

Mike: Oh nooooo I have emasculated Phoenix what do

Bass tech: Never fear I will play

Mike: Ok it's not like we have bass lines in our songs anyway lol

The bass tech finally has a name. Ted.
