Since we only have two days until the first show in Istanbul, kicking off the summer 2009 tour, I thought I'd get a discussion going on your favorite Linkin Park live videos from the past year or two.

If you have any favorite moments caught on video from the Minutes To Midnight Touring Cycle (2007-2008), then reply with a link where we can check it out.

Some of my favorites are:
-No More Sorrow opening the shows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJQjmAFdEj8
-Mike in the crowd during A Place For My Head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hhM9J_8Aig

Everyone excited for the first show coming up?

if you ask me there is NO video from the past 2 years which id add to my fav ones.

i mean look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aywOlerDUcQ in comparision with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY1Qf58WB2s

if you ignore the quality of the VIDEO and just compare the qualities of the PERFORMANCE...i mean..there is a huge difference, in 2000 the show is more kicking and powerful and also kinda individual...you can literally feel em in the crowd...

2007 sucked, 2008 sucked even more, 2009 will be just ridiculous!

i know ppl will tell now "get over the past!", "they developed", "theyre getting older" and stuff, but THIS IS THE FACT and you cant deny it.

I like the 08 one better. They were too hyper in 2000, and Mike even said they aren't gonna be a bunch of idiots jumping around on stage. Look at how large the 08 crowd is compared to the 00 one, not to mention the extended into and outro.

It's called selling out and making ballads to appeal to a large audience. Your point?

Anyways, to contribute to the thread.

There They Go over the Papercut outro that night:

are you serious? that is the POA outro.

Yes, I'm serious. Hence why I said "Papercut outro that night". They didn't play Points of Authority. >Thanks though< for being Mr. Correction when it was not needed.

ANYWAYS

Place for my Head (KROQ 2003) is FTW also:

To Xero21: I'm not dissing the band at all...well I guess I am, but in all honesty - ALL bands sell out. They smell and touch money and they want more so they get it. This doesn't mean that they abuse it. Linkin Park has done wonderful things, including Music for Relief. You can't honestly think the band has the right to say "Well, we really didn't want our music to be this way, we just wanted more money." They will tell everyone that they wanted to "change musically." lol It's just obvious, just like any other band that completely changes their sound to appeal to a larger audience. There is nothing wrong with it (for them), they haven't suffered obviously. They are a huge band! However, those of us who liked their hybrid sound in the early 00's are unhappy with what we hear now. It's no disrespect to the actual band. As far as their fans go, yes. Their fan base has always been huge but the comparison was the crowd of today compared to their early career. If they kept playing the same style of music, they wouldn't progressively gain more fans, thus they have changed their style of music to appeal to a larger audience. People just don't like the term "selling out" as it sounds negative. Saying you actually like every single song they have ever made is a LIE, because I know that everyone has been pissed about at least one song they have written and recorded. Am I still excited to hear what their next album will sound like? Hell yes.
