Halup said:I spoke to Steve Lillywhite inside the elipse at both the San Diego 2 and Anaheim 1 shows. On both occasions he came in to watch Kings Of Leon for a few minutes. I told him I was one of the people who got into the LA Dress Rehearsal show and that I could see him and Gavin Friday taking notes throughout the show from the VIP stage in front of the mixing board. He told me that he was serving as a consultant to the band in helping them put together the show through at least the Anaheim shows and possibly L.A. as well.
Amongst the things I asked Steve about was if he was with them in rehearsals in Mexico and Vancouver. He said he was not there in Mexico but had been in Vancouver. I mentioned I had read about the various songs that were rehearsed and speciafilly mentioned Lemon and he confirmed that it had been rehearsed. I then mentioned A Celebration to which he responded with a smile on his face "the band deny they even have a song called A Celebration". This leads me to believe that if they did actually play it in Mexico, it was never intended to be more than just for fun.
Another thing I asked Steve was if he was going to be producing the sound on the tour dvd as he did on the Live in Boston dvd. he said he had not been asked and he really has not heard much talk yet about a dvd for Vertigo.
“We’ll stick with it the way it is for the next few shows. We have other material to get working on. A few surprises to bring as the tour gets on. We tried a few things (on the first night) that didn’t always work. ‘Elevation’ went a bit south and we came off at the corners a few times with ‘The Fly’. You know, I wasn’t sure what we were before, if we were still a rock band. But when I was whacking the tambourine on ‘All Because Of You’, it felt like an old song, like we were back, like we were a rock band again. At times it was a political rally, at time it was a gospel tent, at times it was a Las Vegas show.”Axver said:I think the band might be keeping Electrical Storm for Europe as it was more successful as a single there. They probably think Hands is more appropriate for US shows or something. I hope Electrical Storm pulls an UTEOTW and appears even though no-one said it was being rehearsed.
