So, I'm all for Pendulum being played a lot. It's one of the best on the album. But how about Pendulum mid set or in an encore once in a while? Anything other than the opener? Thoughts?
Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    I would agree. Absolutely love this song, but having to hear it open 5 consecutive shows this past tour was a bit much. Thankfully, judging by the second leg they've decided to mix it up a bit more. Hope that carries into 2014.

    My favorite from LB. Love this song & was lucky enough to hear it a couple of times in the NW.

    I thought it was an awesome opener. It was very dramatic to hear Ed's deep voice come out of the darkness, gave me chills. :shock:

    I hope this is not one of these songs that you hear at the beginning of the show, or not a all. I love it and I certainly wouldn't mind hearingit at (almost) every show, but I love other opening songs as well (like Long Road, for example!).

    The same happened with Indifference, they either close with it or they don't play it at all. The worst thing about that is that they always play it with the house lights on, and personally, I think Indifference is a song that should be played in the dark.... :)

    I don't really consider this an opener. It's more like Metamorphasis to me. I freakin' love it and think it's the best song off the new album, but I can't see this anywhere in the set except for the opener of a set or encore. I'm fine with it because we usually still get a true opener afterwords. It's a great mood setter.

    amen!

    When they play this with the lights on....I consider it mehh. With the lights off I feel like this is the end all- be all closer of all time. What I wouldn't give to see this back in they day when they had the lights off and candles burning.

    It was fantastic and definigtely brought a completely different feel to the song.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Out of all the songs I regret not being old enough to see....Indifference with the lights off is #1 of any band possibly of all time. I can only imagine what it's like. Congrats

    The tour is still foremost organized to promote the album. I think it's fitting that they open with Pendulum or any other LB song. Personally my favorite off the album right now is Infallible but Pendulum is great, especially as a show opener.
    Shows:
    Madison Square Garden, NYC, July 2003 (BEST Concert of ALL TIME)
    Oracle Arena, Oakland, CA, November 2013 (2nd BEST Concert of ALL TIME)

    Somebody, somewhere wrote about this so I can't take credit, but it's worth mentioning again...

    Pendulum--> Can't Keep

    Matt would just keep rattling away on the kit...
