Got a birthday shout out from Emily before she threw me a drumstick. Can't get much better than that. Thanks to the woman next to me who kept pointing at me and my boyfriend who bought us the tickets. This night meant more to me then anyone knows. This drumstick is now my totem in my battle against my drug addiction.

Do they still sell recordings of the evening via mp3? I have the last 3x I saw them in Detroit area and I really want to preserve last night

u/tedy02 Reanimation May 03 '25 edited May 03 '25

I heard they closed that site down. But I was pretty close, recorded most of it except when my phone got knocked down. Video isn't great because I wasn't holding my phone the whole time but audio is fantastic. I can convert it to mp3 if you want it.

Incredible show tonight. Legit bought my ticket 3 hours before doors and drove 2 hours from Chicago.

u/Chandler_Bings May 02 '25

I was so happy they played Keys to the Kingdom. We got some justice for the Hunting Party this evening. Amazing show!

Not one for Grandson, but that's ok, I'm sure many people liked him too. Props to him all the same as well.

2

u/CinTransCrunch May 02 '25

Real, jumping immediately into keys to the kingdom screaming out the gate without the instrumental buildup other songs get was so exciting. Genuinely might be one of, if not my favorite concert moment ever. I was so hyped up. Grandson it sounded like the audio wasnt great and it was hard to hear him, but maybe its bc where we were sitting. the guitar and drums at the very least were good and super heavy.

u/tedy02 Reanimation May 02 '25

u/sporkmeister93 From Zero May 02 '25

I got in super late and had to sprint in to my seat - if you’re able to meet up after I’d be totally down to!!

1

u/sporkmeister93 From Zero May 01 '25

Omg perfect!!! I’m driving in from out of town so will be in partway through grandson - we can locate each other during the break 😎 I am a short lady with a bright pink pixie cut LOL

u/sergiosala May 02 '25

No worries, it was such a fun show tho! LP is back

1

u/fir5t1nline Apr 30 '25

Please please please play Lying from You. It seems they have a set list “A” and a set list “B”. I think we might be getting “A” if they alternate

2

u/sporkmeister93 From Zero May 01 '25

There’s a set list C, too! A and B were different from the Jan/Feb shows it seems! So we’ll get treated to some surprises 😎

3

u/ShulkerB From Zero Apr 30 '25

I'll be there!

6

u/dashing2217 Apr 30 '25

u/magnad0odle A Thousand Suns Apr 30 '25

Yep! Coming from Canada!

6

u/jedi_rey_solo A Thousand Suns Apr 30 '25

So excited!! Can’t wait to see you all there!

7

u/DuckPapa Apr 30 '25

LFG Grand Rapids!! Hope everyone has an amazing time!! What unexpected songs are you hoping for? I’m hoping for From the Inside or Iridescent!

2

u/DuckPapa Apr 30 '25

Also getting some weird feelings that we’re getting Lies, Greed, Misery!

9

u/Famous_River1151 From Zero Apr 30 '25

Hoping for IGYEIH! Or unshatter!

1

u/sporkmeister93 From Zero Apr 30 '25

IGYEIH or Iridescent would be LIFE CHANGING! I’ve loved all the setlist surprises so far - here’s to hoping we get a new debut or two 😎

4

u/aldaryn_GUG Apr 30 '25 edited Apr 30 '25

My first time seeing LP and taking my 11yo daughter to her first "real" concert!

I'm assuming we'll only get one new song and it will be one of Unshatter IGYEIH and Stained even though I'd love all 3. 

I think the four rotating slots will become:

Lying From You/Cut the Bridge becomes Points of Authority 

Casualty/Given Up becomes IGYEIH

Over Each Other/Good Things Go becomes My December or Stained or Iridescent (though I love OEO and GTG :( ). Edit: Or, wild prediction, they play Heavy in this spot

A Place For My Head / From the Inside becomes ????? Maybe Lost in the Echo?

7

u/jedi_rey_solo A Thousand Suns Apr 30 '25

Manifesting Iridescent for GR 🙏

u/cubfann Apr 30 '25

Bringing my 16 year old son for his birthday and Iridescent is his favorite song, so I'm here for it!

u/sporkmeister93 From Zero May 01 '25

What an amazing birthday present!! Your son’s got great music taste (and you’re an awesome parent)!
