Very unlikely.

Went to see them in Paris last week, ive seen them loads over the years but they are back to their best. SWG and MEds tours were a bit flat, but theres definetly a new life in them now and i must say the new album sounds awesome live. Brian has got even cooler on stage (the way he moves about is class) and the violins etc on stage make it all so epic.
They are mixing the the set lsit up a lot, so you really dont know what songs your going to get, (Passive Aggressive was played in Pairs!)
Heres a video my friend shot of one of my favourite songs from last week...its a bit jump but you tell it was just class....

You need two friends who have standing tickets. Get them in, get one to go out with both of them, then go in with him. Rinse and repeat to get in

Placebo

i didnt get tickets, jaysus how bad am i
i take it seating is sold out for both?

Limerick Dude

I thought seating was available for the second gig, im not sure though, check out ticketmaster, and ill say there will be a few tickets flying around when the gig is closer.

Placebo

id love to go to both, i live right across from the olympia stage door,
when they open the window at the seating area, i can practically see in

Limerick Dude

Placebo won best Alternative Band at the EMA's.

Fair play to them, I know MTV awards can be a bit of a joke but its great to see them get some credit because i feel they are extremely underrated.

Also, anyone get the latest issue of Q with the top 50 albums of 2009, Battle For the Sun didnt even make the list! Very suprised, especially considering some of the cr@p that made the list!

Roll on the Olympia!

miss no stars

can't wait to see them live! didn't get tickets initially but finally got them through an ad they're only seated but better see them than not!

initially wasn't at all keen on BFTS. Really love meds so was initially disappointed with BFTS but it's really starting to grow on me!

Limerick Dude

I honestly think BFTS is their best album to date, its very consistent which cannot be said for most of their other albums.

Placebo

r both dates sold out?
doh

I havent stopped listening to BFTS, i love every song (except FWIW), i never thought id like an album more than BMM, but this is it. And when you see it live you'll like it even more. Love it.

I agree that it's consistent... But I do happen to like variety on an album Consistently good, but with variety

I'm actually surprised at how well it's done compared to their other albums...

No but I remember reading an interview type thing that said it's their hottest selling album yet?

Lads, I have three tickets for the tuesday night show, I cannot go due to Uni commitments & the fact that i am skint!
I have listed them on e bay so you can contact me there!

Placebo

il buy 2

gary the great

Roll on Tuesday!!

And the support act Silversun pickups are class for anyone who hasnt listened to them.

Hoping they play Trigger Happy and Passive Aggressive (its back in some sets!)...cant wait for this!!

Limerick Dude

Can't bloody wait for tuesday! Its going to be great!!!

Silversun Pickups are pretty good too, picked up their album in HMV a couple of months back when i heard they were supporting and i must say i am quite impressed with their stuff!

Limerick Dude

Sorry for the double post!

Great video of Bitter End live in London 02 last week.

Im just dissapointed they wont be able to do half of the lighting effects in the olympia!

Roll on tomorrow night!

Placebo

got seatin tickets for tomorrow but think workin friend can get me downstairs, kinda wanna go wed too

Placebo

was leaving for work, there was already people queuing outside around half 8 !!!!
i live right beside the back stage door though, yesss

S.M.B.

Have people nothing better to be doing?

Limerick Dude

Yeah my friend said there was about 15 people outside their this morning but only 8 people outside this evening ?

Doesnt make much sense to me, ill head into town in about an hour i say, get a pint or two before the gig and then its Placebo time

Lucet

Does someone need a Placebo ticket (seating). I'm sick and I can't go. It's an e-ticket, I'll send it to you via email, you just need to print it. 30 euro.

Limerick Dude

Such an amazing gig! I really enjoyed it! Thought it was a bit short but they jammed alot of songs in though!

Taste In Men at the end was so unexpected but i loved it!

Can anyone tell me that new song that they played? Its not on the new album or any of the others. They played it towards the end!

gary the great

The new song is trigger happy.

What a gig, TIM at the end was epic!!

Dont think it was to short, came on at 9.05 and played till 10.45

What a gig, what a set, what a light show, was awesome!!

only thing is they didnt play bitter end....what was theat all about!?

+1, and I'm a fan since the first album came out.
they haven't played anything (except taste in man and every u every me) from the first albums which are the best part of their discography.
The most of the songs was from the last album, few were good (ie devil in details) but not really necessary since they have produced much better stuff during these years.
Don't understand also why it was forbidden by the Placebo management to take pics of the gig. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
It was an "OK" concert, it could have been waaay better because of all the reasons above.:(
