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!

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

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.

¿Parece que cambiaron la historia? cuando subieron BTH hace 10 días dijeron que el equipo de la banda solicitó que se borrara el metraje en HD, ahora dicen que:

 

''  Los productores de producción tomaron del sitio al final de la noche los masters HD de alta calidad de todo el evento Smoke Out. ''

 

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.

Yeah they probably weren't destroyed. 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)

Sí, probablemente no fueron destruidos. 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.

This show together with Reading are the recordings I would most like to have in my life considering the year 2003.

Having these parts of the show is truly AMAZING!

I'm really happy, thanks LPLive
