    Sirens and Pendulum were almost nightly fixtures and are now rare. I think the board will pine for Pendulum in a few years like Of the Girl and Can't Keep.

    they have played approximately 123 shows since the first Lightning Bolt song debuted, MYM in London Ontario 7.16.2013.  MYM has been played 113 times, Lightning Bolt 96, Sirens 75, the next closest is Pendulum at 44.  The rest of the record was sparingly played.  
    His eminence has yet to show.

    To each their own, I'd much rather hear the Lightning Bolt tracks than Jeremy for the 545th time.

    I really like Pendulum and Yellow Moon live. Getaway's a great track but clearly rough on Eddie's voice to play live.

    this is the only song from Lightning Bolt I have yet to hear live. was hoping for it at Wrigley or Fenway but I knew that was almost impossible. They dropped it from the set after the 2013 NE shows.

    This thread makes me want to go home and spin "SEVENS".....

    I thought the Lightning Bolt pressing was garbage but Sevens sounded really good.

    Certainly not giving the actual song “Lighting Bolt” a break. They are playing the shit out of it as if it’s their greatest hit. My bathroom break song now.
    Funny thing, Insignificance used to be my bathroom song. Now I’m starving for it.

    I heard it in LA Night 2 in 2013 and I actually thought that it didn't translate as well live as it does in the studio recording!  Maybe because it was tuned down a half step, or the atmospheric guitar parts not being as prominent from the stadium acoustics.  Just my own opinion on that one of course!  It wasn't bad by any means though

    I'm in agreement with you here (once again!). I don't get the love for this song but to each his/her own.

    Getaway, however, is great in the studio - but not so good live (same with Infallible).

    I don't really like LB (the song) on the album but it's pretty solid live. 

    Pendulum, to me, is the only great "all round" track off LB.

    That's crazy - although I went six straight shows from 2011 to Seattle this year without seeing it either!
