Yeah not releasing official Instrumental Versions of HT and MT during their 20th anniversary on streaming or in the Super Deluxe Box seems like a weird missed opportunity.

I think they would've done it post release, but do to Chester's passing they maybe canceled the release and never gone back to it.

I know it might be a bit "off-topic" but any guess as to why the band omitted to release the Instrumentals for Meteora for the anniversary too? They didn't do it for HT20 either and it's sorta weird, given that they released their Instrumentals since Living Things.

Yup 203,99 euro for that? The ATS Fan Edition that has all this plus a making of dvd. Ok minus the unique photo and pins, cost at the time "only" 99$ Now it's double the price? Overpriced in every way. Sure rich lp fans will get it without a wink but normal fans will have to stick with the CD maybe even the CD-T-shirt bundle. " plenty of "Making Of" videos" Yeah *looking at the hunting party* we got plenty of that....

Very interesting video. Always like those non-LP BTS. But it kinda begs the question, is it cause the "length" of post-editing from the live show (fixing errors or correcting mistakes made by the band), the reason (back then) that DSP shows took so long for them to release? 2-3 weeks or even longer (Sure there are many other factors that could delay it)? And do you guys think, on the DSP topic, that it failed was due to it being too restricted for only concert goers? I mean looking like other band like Metallica you can buy every show you want and don't have to enter a DSP code to download that specific show you went. I know that LP kinda loosen up a bit after a while but I think it was kinda too late. And since they didn't promote it enough on FB or Twitter (i.e "Berlin 2015 show is now for download") . Non Hardcore LP-Fans didn't know that you could buy a live recording on the show. (Unless you were there and saw the banner at the concert). Sorry for the rambling and probably nitpicking.

I can just copy/paste my response from the lpa thread 1:1 "Very spot on and kinda ironic, they name their current tour "The Hunting Party Tour" but only can/will, (due to your named various reasons) play only three songs from it. Why even bother, just name it "The-People-only-know-us-of-these-songs tour". I was already kinda annoyed when they shortened all the songs just to create the illusion of playing a longer set list, but now with taking out GATS, Rebellion and UIG I can only to that." To SasstielExperience post, on why the crowd get's less of an reaction on THP songs, is quiet obviously the less exposere due to the less "commercialisation" of the Album (probably). F.e no/not much radio plays, no Music Video (beside that crappy GATS xbox thing) no THP making of. Also, it's seems like each tour cycle they scale back even further on how they do a live show and make fans enticed to buy and see the show. Sure some might be unnecessary picky but, that's what I've seen: -Less talk with the audience between songs, feels like they run down the setlist like a workout program -Multiple Setlists with varied songs, which leads to -no interess in DSP's and then -cutting the whole dsp program -Creating new intros/variation to songs -Shortend songs, ever since the beginning of the THP Tour up until the US Summerfests -2-3 mins of LPTV that summirizes multipe shows Seeing and reading stuff from LPA and from here "Linkin Park as a "brand" makes me further wonder about the Band's musical future.

I gotta a few questions: Are they going to rebroadcast it again (with an audio fix (maybe?)) or was it a "one time only" test broadcast? Stupid question: Let's say they do rebroadcast it. Will they fix it? If they (Warner Bros) can use another audio stream for the Live DVD/blu-ray couldn't they just give theoretically give Astra the audio stream so they can fix it for their rebroadcast?

Well let's cross the fingers, and hope they the setlist, or at least do new Intros and outros like 08. If they still stick to the current setlist, then it's really a shame, that they just keep playing the same trivial setlist.

real songs not fillers like Empty spaces

That reminded me of a Person in Hamburg last october. She won 2 tickets for the show and said "Yeah I like Linkin park." But when some fans were discussing, what songs they should/would play, she didn't even know what we are talking about. I think the non-fans only know, sotd, loatr, bth and wid and nd. And if they play something else, the non-fans would be totaly dislike it.

So totaly agree, they keep playing their "cashcow" Songs and they somehow (just my two cents) avoiding their "old stuff" What are they thinking? To the old Bands play longer/ more songs: Metallica is the same, they have set songs that they play like One, Nothing Else Matters, MOP but they still always have 3 to 4 song to switch. And what happend to the Concert communication? A few years ago there was interaction with the crowd. Now it's just a "Thanks (insert Country)". What LP should do is take a page from metallica's book and make a setlist like . Or this.

The dream thing that they should do is play HT in it's entirety. In honor of their 10th anniversary. But they probably won't. To do this, they would need redo their setlist, which they apperently won't do. In fact they rather play their single setlist over and over again. The least thing they can do is to acknowledge the fact that it is their 10th anniversary. If even that they won't do, and play the next show as if nothing has happend, then it's very sad and grim that they won't even mention their anniversary. @qwerty18 Hmm how many times did ht sell only like 24 million? And you say only a minority cares about the setlist? What a joke.

I'm sure they are trying to be comfortable with the new stuff. But I fell like (from what I've read and heard) they try to be too perfect live. I wouldn't mind if they have some human errors on they perfomance. That would make Live alive. Their recent concerts are somehow like play the singles and say thank you. Not much interactions. And didn't Lp say they want to be challenged? If they do wanna get challenged then they should rotate the setlist everynight! (Except the new ATS stuff) I hate to hear crap from "fans" that say (not here) : They shouldn't play the other old stuff cuz the "new fans" would be confused and afraid. And I say: WTF? So if LP play with you or lying from you, "new fans" would think: "ehh what song is that?" That is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. And then this comment: They haven't practice this (insert track name here) song. That's why they won't play it. Well I would say: "If they can practice the songs from the setlist they could practice (insert track name here) aswell." I mean look at a band like Metallica. Watch this video on how they do their setlist. Don't tell me LP can't do it. That's my 2 cents for today.

TMZ Linkin Park Insurance Lawsuit The story is about, when chester hurt his back 08 which resluted in canceling some concerts. quote From TMZ: "The band filed a claim with Lloyds, London insurance company for lost profits from the concerts. The insurance company refused to pay, claiming Bennington's injury was preexisting at the time the insurance policy was issued. Bennington begs to differ."

LOL! Well the early "fake" caller now have nothing else to say!
