LPLStaff Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 If you are familiar with Linkin Park's 2003 touring, you'll know that the Smoke Out 2003 show is pretty iconic. In between the tour of Australia and Asia where the band played the longest setlists they had ever performed to that point, adding in Nobody's Listening and My December, and the UK November Tour, they played a one-off show in San Bernardino at their friends' Cypress Hill's Smoke Out Festival. The band was in full creative mode at this time, debuting a brand new setlist with Papercut opening, keeping Nobody's Listening in as a staple song, and debuting the epic Breaking the Habit. Oh, and don't forget It's Goin' Down being played for the first time on the Meteora cycle... a song that would stay in for the rest of 2003 and all of 2004. Back in 2009, Fremont Studios was kind enough to the Linkin Park community to put three videos online - Papercut with its new, long intro (which ended up being played just five times), Points of Authority, and the live debut of Breaking the Habit in the pouring rain. Fast-forward to present day as Fremont Studios is on the hunt for the full show in their archives. They have apparently lost the full show, but have salvaged a broken DVD with thirty minutes of footage they have posted on YouTube. In this footage, we get even more of the show. Along with the full Papercut intro (the previous version was slightly cut), we get Points of Authority, Don't Stay, Somewhere I Belong, It's Goin' Down, Lying From You, most of Nobody's Listening, and all of Breaking the Habit. This is a sizable chunk of the show. However, there are some really some good highlights here. We see a setlist photo in the first few moments of the video which confirms the set we had was correct, but the footage shows we had some show notes incorrect. It's Goin' Down, performed for the first time since 2002, had its acapella intro, but the surprise is that Xzibit is actually on Nobody's Listening and the band performs part of a unique instrumental with him rapping over it. Earlier in 2003, Xzibit joined the band for Projekt Revolution 2003 and My Name was rapped over Nobody's Listening but without the new instrumental that the band kept for when Mike later rapped 'Standing In The Middle' over it. This is a very unique mashup and we are glad to have a recording of it! Enjoy this newly surfaced footage from 20 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPLStaff Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 There is a lot going on here. Never knew the instrumental under Standing In The Middle (My Name at this show) wasn't sampled. Rob, Brad, and Phoenix are playing it. Is it this song by The Roots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoever requested to delete the HD master of this show............ FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!! This was THE SHOW for M20, first show ever recorded in HD HOLY FUCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxHybridXeroxx Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 HOLY SHIT. Hope maybe someone else could potentially have a copy of the full footage you never know… but it’s incredible we get some more footage of this show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 It seems that they changed the story? when they uploaded BTH 10 days ago they said that the band team requested the HD footage to be deleted, now they say that: '' The high quality HD masters of the entire Smoke Out event were taken from the site at the end of the night by the production producers. '' So there's still a chance that someday this show will come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPLStaff Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Yeah their story is very weird. They recently claimed they never had the masters. Well what did they use to create and upload the video files in 2009 with? lol. Surely the full show exists somewhere in their possession. Would love to see the rest.

They claim that they created a SD DVD copy of the master, which is everything that they had. I guess that if they had the full master of the show they could have sold it to the LP team for M20. So I still believe that they are lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'' Así que todavía existe la posibilidad de que algún día salga este programa. You think? If they remastered the entire show we would already have the complete Show, I hope the complete show comes out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easiertorun03 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I've asked Fremont Studios what happened to the entire show, and this is what they told me: Remember, the missing here is to get someone's attention to find the HD masters. then it's up to the band..

Fremont doesn't have it but it could be that the producers do as from what I was told in this email by Scott Jonas (owner of Fremont studios) Edited January 6 by cubebuilder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fremont no lo tiene pero podría ser que los productores sí lo tengan según lo que me dijo en este correo electrónico Scott Jonas (propietario de los estudios Fremont) That means it will now be difficult to find the entire show, and I'm incorrectly thinking the files are corrupt lol.

LPLStaff Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Without having much context to this entire situation, something tells me this isn't the last we will see from this show. We have all of the major highlights and today actually caused us to edit 6 show pages (Smoke Out + UK November) and 2 wiki pages for Nobody's Listening and It's Goin' Down. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumtram Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Wow, great stuff and also so unexpectedly bad. It's probably because of the mixing of this recording(?) but man, they were off at times. "Papercut" had terrible levels (never heard these string sounds Joe made at the end, especially not that loud), Chester messed up the first chorus of "Don't Stay", Mike's guitar went dead during "Somewhere I Belong" and overall Brad's guitar volume was waaaaay too high which didn't help the overall performance. Speaking of high, Chester was very likely far from sober that evening. Still he performed greatly! All in all, I can see why something in the sense of "just destroy the tapes" might have been said at some stage. I don't think the band wanted to go through this performance again immediately after it happened and then might have just forgotten about it (I mean, they forgot about "Lost" being ready and done, so...). Nonetheless having more of it is awesome and the changed setlist plus "Nobody's Listening" are much appreciated. Great mash-up, just terrible mixing.
