That's LA for you. Maybe they thought they were in a video shoot.

I think the vid is great with Mac in the clouds at the end.

And the girls love it

All My Life was a dud before it was ever touched by a producer.

That's a bit strong isn't it? Spector like? It might not be his favourite song but it's hardly murder.

It's slightly more tolerable live, especially when Pete played it, but I still don't like it.

Sorry forgot to add that even in Japan I can't get away from Seal's fucking cover of it........And it's scary how Coldplay's live cover of it sounds more like the Bunnymen than they do.

Even though I don't like either of these songs much, I have to admit at least there's some fire in this performance:

This is really rockin'! I wish Ian would move around more live these days; Will seems to still get into it as much now as then. I like LLS better live than on the album. I prefer live recordings over the albums for many songs. I have just never been a big fan of BOTDH. Once I'm hearing it live I'm OK with it, because I'm happy to be there, but I would prefer something else instead for a change. As so many have commented, here and on BOF, that the same set list can get to be boring. Still, I'll go hear them for a while longer.

Wasn't this the first airing for Lips Like Sugar? It was shown before The Game was released as well. Great sound on Will's guitar on this performance, can't remember the guitar model but I'm sure it was up on Ebay at one time though I might be wrong.

Just passing on some comments.

I kinda get it but think Make Me Shine is more in that vein.

I would never call anything "crap because it was Spector-like." Except for murdering women and wearing bad wigs.

Well this makes a little more sense. I thought tonywojo was referring to the entire state of California (CA).

You guys are crazy. That woman went to his house specifically to commit suicide. It happens all the time.
