ALITS would work if they retooled it with the near-acapella intro and outro, I mean it's 50% GATS for the most part. I don't know how they would replace BIO or OSC as a closer for some time, at the last show at iHeartRadio Mike even said at the beginning of BIO that they love using it as a closer.
ALITS can be played live without any problems, I don't know what you guys are talking about. They can even connect the ending to The Catalyst and play them back to back, that would be weird/awesome.
I'm actually sure they will play A Line In The Sand. It's one of the best song from the album and they know how much people are liking it. Bleed It Out is a great closer but I think they need to keep switching that up with One Step Closer just so that it's not a set thing. Keys to the Kingdom would be a great opener.
[video=youtube;EbcS9THQWlE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbcS9THQWlE[/video] update the first post maybe, easly the best performance of GATS imo
What a great set of performances. Thanks to whomever posted this, I was in bed early last night due to allergies. The boys sounded great!!
Best performances of all three songs. They sounded great. i really love Mikes back up vocals on Until it's gone.
On the topic of good closers, I've always wanted to see them conclude a show with The Catalyst. Would be an epic finale, methinks.
Great performances of GATS and UIG! Brad looked so relieved that he finished GATS without any major mishaps
All three perfomances were great! Specially Wastelands, sounded almost identical to the studio version .
Where'd you Joe?! :sad: But in all seriousness, the band sounded great and in sync. I do hope Joe makes a triumphant return on the next record though. Even a lot of the synth tasks that Joe used to do, Mike takes care of (e.g. Until It's Gone). Mike just constantly has so much going on - what a reversal from his HT One Step Closer days when he used to have his one line in the chorus and that was it. Now he even plays guitar during OSC so it's not as awkward. From keys, to synth, to guitar, to verses, to back-up vox - he's def the member of the band that has the most going on. And Rob will have a legit workout going on when playing through most of THP. I got a bit off topic. Great performances on all three accounts.
When I first saw what songs they were playing; I thought "Eww, who decided to play these songs. Should be playing their best songs to try to promote album". Great performance on 3 of the worst songs of the album. They sound more lively when played live. Love it.
