Show Notes:
- To get in the spirit of KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas, LP played four acoustic songs in a row - the first time they had ever played acoustically. The stage turned before their "acoustic set" began, revealing a specially-designed Christmas-themed set for the band. Rob had Christmas lights on his drumkit, stools across the stage, there was a piano for Mike, the cello was brought out for Phoenix, acoustic guitars donned the stage, etc. Brad told Chester before Pushing Me Away that it was like they were on "VH1 Storytellers". My December featured Brad on acoustic guitar, so we are calling that an acoustic performance of the song. Phoenix stayed on the cello and Brad (Mike too, for the first two) donned an acoustic guitar for Pushing Me Away, Crawling, and In The End. Crawling featured an acoustic guitar intro by Brad and had Aaron Lewis from Staind on the song. Mike played piano on My December and the second half of In The End. Brad also played the A Place For My Head intro on acoustic before the stage turns back before the song kicks in.
- After Step Up, Chester says it's like the "KROQ Almost Acoustic Hanukkah" since the 9th was the first day of Hanukkah.
- Right before One Step Closer, the band played a short cover of Outkast's So Fresh, So Clean.
Debuts:
- This was the first time the acoustic versions of Pushing Me Away, Crawling, and In The End were performed.
