MTV Live on Palladia

Here's the setlist: Underneath The Stars, The Only One, The Reasons Why, Freakshow, The Hungry Ghost, Switch, The Perfect Boy, Sleep When I'm Dead, The Scream, It's Over.
So they cut out Sirensong, Real Snow White, and THANWY.

And there was some very odd censoring going on: "I couldn't take all the censorship. Yes, backmasking an F-bomb I can understand. But "slide me in"??!?! "Suicide"??!?!"
