I love In Between, but I don't think it's a good live song.

It kinda worked atleast people were clapping during the performance lol

 

In between it one of those songs that should have workes as an interlude, there were too many great songs like across the line or blackbirds that were left out because somehow in between got more votes from the band members.

Blackout! 

 

I really think it would be better than ever with the current line up. The breakdown and outro would be a chance for Emily to play the drums as a compromise for not being able to jump on them 😀, the other thing that comes to mind is I think the harmony for the outro would sound really nice.

people yearn for Forgotten

 

with HT turning 25 this year i would love for them to perfom more Underrated songs. the original Pushing Me Away, By Myself and of course Forgotten

other underrated songs they could bring back:
Easier To Run (only played live in 2003)

Don't Stay
Nobody's listening could be a part of Mike's solo too
just give War its live debut already god damnit

I'm not usually one to say this about most LP songs, but I actually do think Easier To Run is far too personal as Chester's story for anyone else to sing.

Forgotten and Pushing me away are very good, I don't like By myself, I prefer High Voltage (MS Remix).

 

Why do so many people want Easier to Run live? For me it's the weakest song on Meteora, the best Linkin Park album. It would be better to bring back Hit the Floor live, the song is great. Mike should just bring back the Hip Hop Madley from 2004 instead of his solo, that would be nice.

Any In Between fans up here?

 

One of my favorite songs on MTM. I think it could work in their current live show during a change-of-pace type section. I have full faith that they'd be able to work out at least a cool transition that includes a verse/chorus of In Between.

I think it worked even in it's original incarnation, as an encore opener, although I know it wasn't very popular by many

I only have three I can think of for now:

 

- More the Victim:

I think the interplay between the two would be amazing; it's also one of my favorite LP songs :)

 

- Across the Line

Again, one of my other favorites and good for a pit; also curious to hear how Em's voice would sound here.

 

- Step Up

Same with Across the Line, but to hear Mike's rapping 26 years after the release.

26. Cut The Bridge

27. Papercut

28. Bleed It Out (w/ extended Outro)

 

Set C

 

01. One Step Closer (w/ extended Intro and Outro)
02. From The Inside
03. Somewhere I Belong
04. IGYEIH
05. Don't Stay
06. Heavy Is The Crown

 ------------------
07. Castle Of Glass

14. Crawling

 ------------------
15. One More Light
16. Iridescent
17. Stained
18. Lost (Album Version)

 ------------------
19. Breaking The Habit
20. Numb (w/ Encore Intro and Outro)
21. The Emptiness Machine
22. In The End
23. What I've Done
24. Bleed It Out (w/ extended Outro)

 ------------------

26. Cut The Bridge
27, Two Faced

I think they should play only the Set A at the shows in Mexico to fully get used to it and then debut the Set B at 2nd show in Tokyo. After that they should keep rotating those 2 setlists until the European Tour. Then at the Hannover show they should debut the Set C and keep rotating all 3 setlists for the rest of the year. Alternatively, if they don't want to change the order of the songs, they can just put all the 6 different songs from the Set C into the 6 rotation spots. At first I had the same order for all 3 setlists in my mind with From The Inside in the 1st rotation spot, Don't Stay in the 2nd, Shadow Of The Day in the 3rd, IGYEIH in the 4th, Iridescent in the 5th and Stained in the 6th, so they could very well do it like that. But then I thought that it would be more interesting and less repetitive to have one setlist with a diferrent order as it would excite the fans more. And I think that in some ways the Set C might be the best one. After all, I know I have most definitely zero influence on their setlits, so I guess I'm unnecessarily trying way too hard and kind of wasting my time with this, but I love to fantasize about things  😂 And you never know, maybe the band will somehow see my post and decide to play those setlits. It would definitely make my year 😀

Honestly any song they've never played live will be neat to have, and I'd personally love to hear SFN at the concerts I attend

 

But more than anything I want more unique live arrangements. I love LOATR right now, but crave some interesting stuff like the Blackout/Papercut mashup or Wastelands/Runaway. I don't think we've really heard any major unique arrangements involving anything from OML or FZ yet for example, bring on an extended outro to Two Faced or IGYEIH that has me wanting to listen to live versions more than the studio ones

 

Maybe play a melody from OML over an extended outro, do a verse from MTV somewhere, etc. These bits have always been my favorite and I loved the crazy arrangements 2014-17 and want more of that, less of unaltered studio songs

I love that they extended their show length to two hours, allowing them to play more songs.

I hope they start their 2025 shows playing as many FZ songs as possible so they can find out which songs sound better live and fans are more into, therefore the setlist improves faster as the tours go on. For example, I'm not a fan of Cut The Bridge as much, but I think it would sound really good live, and the opposite for IGYEIH. I could be wrong, though.

Cut the Bridge is great, and I'm sure it's great live too. IGYEIH is definitely good live too. I'm not a big fan of Two Faced and Stained.

Forgotten y Pushing me away son muy buenas, no me gusta By myself, prefiero High Voltage (MS Remix).

 

¿Por qué tanta gente quiere Easier to Run en directo? Para mí es la canción más floja de Meteora, el mejor disco de Linkin Park. Sería mejor volver a hacer Hit the Floor en directo, la canción es genial. Mike debería volver a hacer el Hip Hop Madley de 2004 en lugar de su solo, eso estaría bien.

Maybe for you it's so weak, for me and other people "Easier To Run" is a great song, it's too much to throw so much hate at the song, it deserves to be played again just like "Hit The Floor" and other songs.

I don't hate Easier to Run, the song is pretty good, but the other songs on Meteora are even better. Meteora is great, the best LP and one of my all-time favorite albums.
