Lollapalooza 2012

Thank you!

Thank you so much, you're a life saver!

there's a complete 720p capture on dime. probably the best that's going to show up.

Was that video that the poster put up of the concert just 10 seconds of a girl doing a kissy face for everyone else too?

If you mean the one I uploaded, definitely not! The first 10 seconds is a girl in the crowd doing a kissy face , then the camera turns to the stage and the show starts. I even just downloaded the video myself to make sure the site hadn't ruined it but nope, works fine. The video is 318Mb, so if yours is smaller, then you should re-download it.

Oeh, the U2 snippet is back? Love it!

Only after I uploaded it I remembered that they ask you to have an account now to watch and download. Sorry for that, it's quick and free to do anyway. I'd use Mediafire but the file's too big for it. I can upload to other site too if you have suggestions. Must allow 300mb+ files.

I didn't convert it or anything, so it's a flv file (better watched with VLC). There's like 1 extra minute at the end, guess it kept on recording for a while after I stopped it.

Thanks! Any chance of an upload to DIMEadozen please?

^ I'm afraid not, sorry! Anything that's not a torrent site, that I can do. Someone said there's a 720p version already there, though. Haven't checked 'cause my computer doesn't play bigger files too well.

U2 reference in Backseat...always thought that song sounded like them anyway.

They've done that before have they not?

Yeah they played it on the bootleg thats on here from the Metro Theatre in Sydney. Amazing, my fav version of the song.

It was only a short set so I'm not surprised.

it's a festival in the middle of the tour for their new album!!

Haha, wait til they get another album or two under their belts, there might be nights were they play no SoS at all. It's only a setlist.

but damn that's just what happens when bands have more than one album out

in other news, alex L's sleeve is BADASS. I LOVE IT.

Dunno, could be the latest thing to try and get us all to hate them, so they don't have to talk to us.

Not playing anything off Sink or Swim is a fair criticism. I don't know why people need to make excuses about it. Sure the new album is out but they played just 4 songs from that. Regardless, the same thing happened when American Slang was released. There were plenty of festival sets with 1 or no songs from Sink or Swim. For some reason the "old" songs get shelved while the same 6+ songs from The '59 Sound are played at pretty much every single show for the last 4 years, festival or not.

not trying to make excuses but it's a festival and people want to hear the songs they know because not everyone in the audience is a huge fan, I just don't understand why they played too much blood (which I loved btw, I think it's much better live).

i feel like this is one of the very few (if not the first) festival sets when they didn't play we came to dance.

I see what you're saying Ral OWL, T59S, Great Ex, HLAYK, Backseats are always played and Cowgirls is usually thrown in. I think those songs perhaps have more appeal to an unfamiliar audience whereas the punkier SoS stuff might not appeal as much to those viewers. During their own shows though they still slot in a few SoS here and there though, although Ive not seen many post album release setlists yet...

Do I detect a note of sarcasm haha

Um, I was wondering who these mysterious backing vocals were, then my jaw dropped. Alex L is singing? like at an audible level? I'm shocked. I was right in front of him in Cambridge and I saw them test his mic but then I didn't hear one word out of him the entire night. This is weird. haha. Does this strike anyone else as funny or is it just me?
