Default I Love This Town??

What happened to the song being played live?

I am not a huge fan of it to be honest but I thought that the band bigged this track up by getting people to shoot a video of their hometown so it could be played when this song was played. It was used a lot in the encore to some shows but then just vanished. Where did it go?

Yeah strange, I thought it would stay a regular, and with the videos it would have worked well I think. Not many people seem to like it (don't know why, it's a neat song), but the band always seemed to do. Didn't they just write it for a live environment? They even ended shows on this tune (which is kinda weird), there must be something about it. I was looking forward to hear it live and we got it in Munich. But other than I expected it didn't go down too well. Maybe just sound problems...

Depending on my mood this can be on of my favourites from LH - may have to do with the fact that is was one of the first snippets I heard and a good live version was featured on the "Memory" single, so I got into it when I was awaiting the new album.

I like ILTT, although with the encores lately, it's not missed at all
Not sure why it's been dropped though, seems a bit weird like.

I'm pretty sure the competition was meant to be just for the states. I think theyve swithced to greatest hits tour now which may explain the LH songs dissapearing.

Agreed - with these amazing encores there's just no space for it left!

I'd love to hear this live again. I certainly wouldn't want to hear it at every show but it was very cool at the 02 and it's a great song that works well live. I'll certainly be happy if it shows up at one of the Twickenham shows.

Wouldn't mind if it was played in Glasgow next week, not as a show closer though.

Perhaps in the main set.
