Live: With Teeth
March 23, 2005 – July 8, 2006
Live: With Teeth began as a close-range return to clubs and grew into a sequence of increasingly engineered arena and amphitheater productions. Its visual systems became more tightly connected to set order, while a changing drum seat made the personnel history unusually date-sensitive.

Chronology
Touring Phases
Club and international
March 23 – August 22, 2005
Sold-out club dates and international appearances used a relatively minimal lighting language and flexible repertoire.
Fall arena
September 16 – December 10, 2005
The rear screen, geometric teeth lights, overhead grid, and projection scrim created a tightly cued middle act.
Spring arena
February 10 – April 1, 2006
A refined version of the arena production was filmed for Beside You in Time.
Summer amphitheaters
May 26 – July 8, 2006
An outdoor Versa RAY grid and vertical background panels replaced the enclosed arena system.

Stage and lighting
- Club and early international dates used vertical bars and small wire-mounted light clusters.
- Arena shows added a rear screen, geometric teeth lights, an overhead grid, and a silver projection scrim used through Eraser, Right Where It Belongs, and Beside You in Time.
- The summer amphitheater production used suspended Versa RAY panels and an interactive background surface adapted for outdoor sightlines.
Setlist patterns
- Club dates remained flexible and introduced nine songs from With Teeth.
- Arena dates became more fixed because the central projection sequence required precise production cues.
- Summer shows commonly opened without warning with Somewhat Damaged, then moved through a structured new-and-old catalog set, La Mer into Into the Void, and a closing run of Hurt, The Hand That Feeds, and Head Like a Hole.
Support acts and co-bills
- The Dresden Dolls, Eagles of Death Metal, Autolux, Death from Above 1979, Queens of the Stone Age, Moving Units, Saul Williams, Bauhaus, TV on the Radio, and Peaches appeared across different phases.
- Support relationships varied by date and are presented as phase-specific rather than universal.
