In December 2008, Placebo embarked on their 8th worldwide tour campaign in 15 years, this time to promote the ‘Battle For The Sun’ album (released in June 2009) around the world performing in 44 countries, 143 shows to over 2.5 million people. It began at Angkor Wat in Cambodia and ended in London, England, September 2010.
That final show in London on the 28th September 2010 was filmed and has been beautifully captured on the new Placebo DVD ‘We Come In Pieces’. After 2 years of touring, it all came down to this performance where Placebo showed 5000 fans who crammed into the Brixton Academy, just why they are one of the most stunning live bands in the world.
If you purchase the 2-Disc Deluxe Edition or the Blu-Ray version of the DVD you will also get a stunning documentary called ‘Coming Up For Air’, plus Andreas Nilsson's unnerving and disturbing full length film ‘Trigger Happy Hands’ in all of its High Definition splendour.
The documentary 'Coming Up For Air' was shot and directed by Charlie Targett-Adams, and this candid and intrusive film follows the band through different continents and cultures with footage compiled from many of the countries, shows and travels which Placebo undertook throughout the Battle For The Sun tour.
Other features include, a hand-picked selection of live tracks taken from various performances around the world.
If you order on the Official Placeboworld Store, you will also receive the extra bonus of 3 Loseless audio versions of tracks taken from the Brixton Academy show, selected by the band, emailed to you on the 28th September 2011, exactly one year after the Battle For Brixton show!
The DVD is released on the 31st October 2011.
