2026 ( 20th lplive x 20th Summer Sonic 2006 )

[thigolpbr]

As the title of the message already says, next year the LPLIVE community will celebrate 20 years and also the iconic Summer Sonic 06 show.

 

The first time I had contact with YouTube was in 2006. I was a fan of the band since Meteora and I remember watching some amateur videos of that show.

In 2009 I discovered the LPLVE community and I remember qwerty's video on Proshot, it was incredible. We also received the band's official video last year with super quality and also interacting with the Japanese fan.

Well, I don't know if the team has plans for next year, but I would like to leave an "idea" here and you can analyze this idea. We know the good relationship between the LPLIVE community and the band, So could the LPLIVE team ask the band if they can release the full Summer Sonic 06 show?

I don't know if the band intends to release this in a future MTM20th box set, but if not, it would be so awesome and a perfect opportunity to release this show.

I believe they already have this show digitized, so it would be an easy thing to do.

Please look into this idea and if it is valid, go ahead with it. This show is definitely in the top 3 of all fans of the band.

Thanks for attention.

It doesn't seem like a bad idea, I support you, and this community should do it too.

[JZLP-Benningstrong]

LP , the management  @Adam and WB has obtained a lot from LPL, some guys who work at WB use LPL as a source to do their jobs, hell even a Astat helped the band with the tuning of Reading My Eyes for these shows.

 

I always felt that they have never gave back enough credit to the site, Mike has some interviews/podcasts with LPL and nothing for LPL. This site and community deserve more from the band.

 

let us have a podcast w some band members or an exclusive release.. some giveaways.. i dont know they can do a lot for LPL.

that is a good Idea

I think SS06 have nothing to do with MTM20

another show we can ask them to release is "Music For Relief 2005"

I'm glad the comments have been positive.
Who knows, maybe something will happen so that this show can finally be released
I'm 99.9% sure that the band has this complete show digitalized.
I'm hoping that this thread will make things happen for the release of this iconic show.

Music For Relief 2005 is nice show too

If that launch doesn't happen, we'd have to make noise, and we have to be strong.

@Adãowas tagged in this post lol.
maybe he'll see it and take the idea to the band 🙂

Please read it, we want the full Summer Sonic 2006 show.

[NimaLP]

For me, Summer Sonic 2006 is right behind Rock am Ring 2007 as the shows I would love to watch the full version of. It doesn't seem likely to happen, but it would be such an amazing thing for the fans.

Buen tema.

 

En mi opinión, 2005 y 2006 son la era de MTM. Creo que esto se debe a que la banda empezó a trabajar en Minutes To Midnight en noviembre de 2005, según Brad en una entrevista con UltimateGuitar. Además, la banda fue bastante firme al afirmar que el concierto de São Paulo de 2004 fue el último de Meteora. 2005 se parece más a la "era de Collision Course" en algunos aspectos, pero sigo sin creer que forme parte de la era de Meteora; simplemente no me lo parece, al igual que considero 2009 como el comienzo de la era de ATS. 
 

Lo que quiero decir es que creo que la banda nos dará el video completo del concierto con MTM20. Obviamente lo tienen, lo sabemos por el video QWERTY lanzado a principios de 2024 para Papercuts; era más largo y con una calidad de video mucho mejor que la que teníamos antes. Además, creo que el video de YouTube Premium también mostraba otras cosas. One Step Closer también se muestra en la versión completa de Japan '06 LPTV. Si por alguna razón prefieren darnos conciertos de 2007 y 2008 (que obviamente deberíamos seguir teniendo), pero si quieren darnos más material de 2007 y 2008 en lugar de Summer Sonic 2006, quizás podrían dárselo a LPL como exclusiva para el verano de 2026. Pero sería una locura; no sé si la banda haría esto, es mucho pedir. 
 

¿Saben Mike y Brad cuánto anhelan los fans el concierto de Summer Sonic? Deben ser conscientes de que es un santo grial inmenso y lo ha sido desde 2006. Muchos fans de la vieja escuela consideran la gira de Japón de 2006 como la mejor en la que la banda ha sonado, Chester incluido. Personalmente, creo que su mejor sonido fue en Projekt Revolution 2004, con su voz chillona y agresiva, pero Summer Sonic 2006 le sigue, seguido de los conciertos de principios de 2007 y Projekt Revolution 2007 posteriores. No noté un declive en la voz ni en el rendimiento de Chester hasta los conciertos de 2009; su voz seguía siendo excelente en Projekt Revolution 2008 y los conciertos en Europa previos a esa gira en junio de 2008 sonaban de maravilla. También en la gira de invierno por estadios de Estados Unidos, estuvo sobresaliente; necesitamos MSG 2008 en MTM 20. Pero me estoy dejando llevar. 
 

¿Quizás podrían darnos el audio completo? ¿Qué pasaría si la banda quisiera darnos el concierto de Zepp Tokio 2006 en lugar de Tokio en MTM20, como cuando nos dieron Manila en lugar de Rock am Ring en Meteora 20? No tenemos nada de ese concierto, ni siquiera fotos de la banda tocando, ni audio ni video, lo cual sería aún mejor. Sendai 2006 es mi concierto favorito de todos los tiempos, pero prefiero Tokio o Zepp Tokio. Osaka también es increíble, pero es mi menos favorito de los tres conciertos de los que tenemos grabaciones de la gira. 

Linkin Park knows very well the show we want from 2006, and it's the one in Chiba, Tokyo.

Nice topic.

 

IMO, 2005 and 2006 are the MTM era. I think this because the band started working on Minutes To Midnight in November of 2005 according to Brad during an interview with ultimateguitar. Not to mention, the band was pretty adamant about saying the São Paulo show in 2004 was the final show for Meteora. 2005 is more like the ‘’Collision Course era’’ in some ways but I still don’t think it’s a part of the Meteora era, just doesn’t seem like it to me, just like how I view 2009 as the beginning of the ATS era. 
 

My point is, I think the band will give us the full proshot video of the show with MTM20. They obviously have it, we know this from the QWERTY video released in early 2024 for Papercuts, it was extended and much better video quality than what we had prior, plus the YouTube Premium video showed some other stuff too, I think. One Step Closer is also shown in the full version of Japan ‘06 LPTV. If for some reason they would rather give us 2007 and 2008 shows, which we should obviously still get those as well, but if they want to give us more 2007 and 2008 stuff over Summer Sonic 2006, maybe they can give it to LPL for a summer 2026 exclusive. But it would be crazy, idk if the band would do this, it’s a big ask. 
 

Do Mike and Brad know how badly the fans want the Summer Sonic show? They have to be somewhat aware that it is a massive holy grail and has been since 2006. Many old school fans consider the Japan 2006 tour as the best the band has ever sounded, Chester included. Personally I think he sounded the best on Projekt Revolution 2004 as far as his screaming and aggressive vocals go, but Summer Sonic 2006 is second behind it, with the early 2007 and Projekt Revolution 2007 shows after that. I didn’t notice a decline in Chester’s voice or performance until the 2009 shows, his voice was still extremely good on Projekt Revolution 2008 and the shows in Europe before that tour in June 2008 were incredible sounding. U.S. winter arena tour as well, he was A+, we need MSG 2008 on MTM 20. But I’m getting carried away. 
 

Maybe they can give us full audio? What if the band wanted to give us the Zepp Tokyo 2006 show instead of Tokyo on MTM20, kind of like how they gave us Manila instead of Rock am Ring on Meteora 20. We have legit nothing from that show, not even photos of the band playing, no audio or video at all, that would be even cooler. Sendai 2006 is my personal favorite show of all time but I’d rather have Tokyo or Zepp Tokyo over that. Osaka is amazing too but my least favorite of the 3 shows we have recordings for from the tour.

Bom tópico.

 

IMO, 2005 e 2006 são a era MTM. Eu acho que isso porque a banda começou a trabalhar em Minutes To Midnight em novembro de 2005, de acordo com Brad durante uma entrevista com ultimateguitar. Sem mencionar que a banda foi bastante inflexível em dizer que o show em São Paulo em 2004 foi o último show do Meteora. 2005 é mais parecido com a ''era Collision Course'' em alguns aspectos, mas ainda não acho que faça parte da era Meteora, apenas não me parece, assim como vejo 2009 como o início da era ATS.
 

Meu ponto é, eu acho que a banda vai nos dar o vídeo completo do show com MTM20. Eles obviamente têm, sabemos disso pelo vídeo QWERTY lançado no início de 2024 para Papercuts, foi estendido e com qualidade de vídeo muito melhor do que o que tínhamos antes, além do vídeo do YouTube Premium mostrar algumas outras coisas também, eu acho. One Step Closer também é mostrado na versão completa do Japan '06 LPTV. Se por algum motivo eles preferirem nos dar shows de 2007 e 2008, que obviamente ainda devemos obtê-los também, mas se eles quiserem nos dar mais coisas de 2007 e 2008 sobre o Summer Sonic 2006, talvez eles possam dar à LPL para um exclusivo de verão de 2026. Mas seria uma loucura, não sei se a banda fizesse isso, é uma grande pergunta.
 

Mike e Brad sabem o quanto os fãs querem o show do Summer Sonic? Eles têm que estar um pouco cientes de que é um enorme santo graal e tem sido desde 2006. Muitos fãs da velha escola consideram a turnê do Japão 2006 como a melhor que a banda já soou, incluindo Chester. Pessoalmente, acho que ele soou melhor no Projekt Revolution 2004 no que diz respeito aos seus vocais gritantes e agressivos, mas o Summer Sonic 2006 é o segundo atrás dele, com o início de 2007 e os shows do Projekt Revolution 2007 depois disso. Eu não notei um declínio na voz ou performance de Chester até os shows de 2009, sua voz ainda era extremamente boa no Projekt Revolution 2008 e os shows na Europa antes dessa turnê em junho de 2008 eram incríveis. Turnê de arena de inverno nos EUA também, ele era A +, precisamos do MSG 2008 no MTM 20. Mas estou me empolgando.
 

Talvez eles possam nos dar o áudio completo? E se a banda quisesse nos dar o show do Zepp Tokyo 2006 em vez de Tóquio no MTM20, mais ou menos como eles nos deram Manila em vez de Rock am Ring no Meteora 20. Não temos nada legítimo desse show, nem mesmo fotos da banda tocando, nenhum áudio ou vídeo, isso seria ainda mais legal. Sendai 2006 é o meu show favorito de todos os tempos, mas eu prefiro ter Tóquio ou Zepp Tokyo sobre isso. Osaka também é incrível, mas o meu menos favorito dos 3 shows para os quais temos gravações da turnê.

 

As I said in the thread, I don't know if the band has any plans for this show to be included in MTM20, but the fact is that the Japan 06' tour is a holy grail among fans.
Them hosting the 20th edition of LPLIVE would be a historic moment for this community.
Imagine being able to watch this entire show on our TV, computer or smartphone.

It's still a dream to think about, but who knows, it could become reality

The idea is great, and we should make noise to make something happen...

 

And now is when I become that BUT guy.

 

If it would solely depend on the band, I'm pretty sure that they would have release it for us, maybe commercially, maybe for free, like the Chester tribute show. And I think they also believe that those shows were great. The band, specially Mike, have been pretty adamant of not releasing something that they consider band or mediocre (I have the theory that the band was tired of releasing the LPU demos on a yearly basis, but they felt they had a debt with fans), so we can rule out as the reason behind it.

 

I hate to use the cheap argument of "blame the label", but I think that it is appropriate in this case. We're talking about a professionally filmed and mixed show, not a raw SBD. That's too valuable to give it up for free. They haven't even gave us the Summer 2008 DSP, which have zero commercial value, don't even think about a LP show in their prime with the best quality possible. They are very protective of the LP vault, as it's very valuable and I can respect that.

 

As for the debate if the show should be included on the MTM20 because is part of the cycle, no and no.

 

The show has no songs from that record, Qwerty didn't made the cut and isn't representative of what MTM would become. It's more of a Meteora song cocaine-infused. 

 

Speaking of which, setlist and aesthetically wise, the show seems more of a Meteora extension rather than the sign of things to come. 

 

For me, it make sense to save that space in the boxset for an actual MTM show. We have two years worth of great shows, I'll be happy with anything. It deserves to be a stand-alone release.

 

As for the argument of "it's a MTM concert because they were working on it by that time", following that logic PR02 should be considered a Meteora show.

 

What would be the solution? Perhaps the Trent Reznor way. You know, perhaps a random day next year, a mysterious leak of a raw SBD of the show finds it's way on YouTube or LP bits...

I always appreciate and love ideas like that.

The big problem now is that the band are totally focused on Emily's era and I can't see any good reason at the marketing point of view to release old stuff right now.

Of course there are fans like us who would love to have everything from the past, but honestly I have ZERO clue on what their management or Mike/Brad think about it... Someone need ask him when he's online on Discord.

We first need to understand what the band think about releasing old stuff from now. Remember all the box set came up before FZ era. And how it should be now? Only Mike could answer.

I hope someone asks Mike about my friend.
That's why I thought of an opportunity next year thinking about the Lplive community.
If unfortunately we don't have any more box sets for MTM and ATS, then the chances of getting something from the past will be ZERO.
But I hope the band will still give us more stuff from the past like this iconic show from SS06.

I hope this post reaches Mike or someone from the team.

No reason why the band can’t celebrate their massive past while still embracing the future with Emily. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. The band knows that, they had a basically 20 year career of massive success and they know that Hybrid Theory and Meteora weren’t the only successful and beloved albums by fans. Yes, they sold the most and have a cult following, but some of the later stuff is still very popular, especially Minutes To Midnight because it has huge singles on it like What I’ve Done which is their third biggest single ever, Bleed It Out which is insanely popular and the ultimate Linkin Park live song, Leave Out All The Rest which has gained a huge cult following since Chester’s death and Given Up which will always be iconic because of Chester’s vocals.

 

Plus, Mike and the band love A Thousand Suns and they know they have to do Minutes To Midnight first, Mike even said that one day he would love to do a box set for A Thousand Suns but he said it makes sense to do every album in order, he said that on Twitch. And the band loves Minutes To Midnight as well, I’d say both Minutes To Midnight and A Thousand Suns are very special to Mike and Brad and the rest of the band. 
 

However, it is totally possible that they will skip 2005 and 2006 live stuff for the Minutes To Midnight box set. The 2005 and 2006 demos released through the LPU over the years will surely be a part but I’m talking about live stuff from those years. It’s just how it is, sadly. 
 

I said in a previous post that I consider 2005 and 2006 to be the Minutes To Midnight era, I was partially wrong IMO now that I think about it. I’d say after the GRAMMYs in 2006, that’s when the Minutes To Midnight era really started truly, as all the Collision Course stuff was then over, and Collision Course is an extension of the Meteora era as Reanimation is to the Hybrid Theory era. 2005 had two shows and Jay-Z performed with them at both shows, the Anaheim show featuring the whole Collision Course album, and Live 8 featured most of it as well as a Jay-Z track from his Black Album, which the band essentially covered, totally rare for them to have done that but epic, and then of course the GRAMMYs performance with Paul McCartney and Jay-Z). I feel like that truly wrapped up the ‘’Meteora era’’. 
 

Summer Sonic 2006 is 100% the Minutes To Midnight era. I mean they started working on the album in November of 2005 (ultimateguitar interview with Brad) and by the time the Summer Sonic shows happened, they were already 10 months into writing for the album, already had switched from the Korn Studio to the Houdini House, etc. QWERTY is a true Minutes To Midnight song, it just didn’t make the album. But it was still a song written alongside all the other songs written, it’s not like a New Divide situation where it was written specifically for something, it was started before they left for the tour and then the band finished it up on the plane (lyrics) to perform at the shows. They were going to play Grecian as we all know but it was abandoned for QWERTY last minute.
 

So I’d love to see it as a part of the Minutes To Midnight box set. It’s an important show, it’s a holy grail and has been since 2006 for fans. And to answer a reply, I know the show we are talking about is Chiba, I just called it Tokyo because the band did at the show, etc. The band could easily give us the Chiba show as well as several 2007 shows and a 2008 show or two (I’d rather have more 2007 shows, but obviously we need a 2008 show on there, I just hope they don’t waste space with a 2009 show that really isn’t the Minutes To Midnight era, that would suck). I’d say Chiba 2006, Bamboozle 2007,😍 Rock am Ring 2007, Clarkston 2007, MSG 2008 and maybe a Europe 2008 show or PR08 show would be good. Chiba 2006, Rock am Ring 2007 and Clarkston 2007 are musts for the set. If they skip Projekt Revolution 2007, don’t even bother putting out live DVD’s, that’s how epic that tour was, you had to be there.

My statment about that is based on what I have experienced with their team and warner brazil behind the scene during their return and shows here. I can assure you they are totally focused on the new era.

I am not saying they will not celebrate anything else or release new box sets... It is just that it doesn't make sense now. I did worked in the music industry for a while and for me, LP is still working their new image and era, spreading it around, approaching new fans and feeling the result aswer for their mark. They are being very cautions with the public now, and thats why we don't see M&G for example. They don't feel 100% confortable with their approvation YET. Thats my opnion.

So when you push some old content with Chester right now, when they are trying to sell their new legacy, it could not looks good NOW. Maybe later for sure. Or who knows what they are planning for 2026? If they stuck at studio and no tours, there are chances we get new box sets.

 

Back to the topic: YES, I think MTM20 box is our only chance to get this shit out. Or unless Summer Sonic broadcast it someday. They have it, they confirmed it to me.

Back to the topic: YES, I think MTM20 box is our only chance to get this shit out. Or unless Summer Sonic broadcast it someday. They have it, they confirmed it to me.

I think 2026 will be the year the band takes a break from live shows, probably to record a new album.

If the band plans to release a box set for MTM20th, it will also be the year they plan this box set.

Next year, if we count from the XERO era, it will be the 30th, when MIKE, BRAD, JOE and PHOENIX started paving the way for the LP.

The Japan Tour 06' is special, besides being the 20th of the show, we have the performance of Reading my Eyes and it would be a smart move, in a way, as a discreet celebration for XERO's 30th, even if the band doesn't care about the XERO era, but it is 30th of history.

20th of LPLIVE, 20th iconic Japan show, 30th Xero - I see it as a real opportunity.

As @felipeintheend said, we don't know the band's plans, especially for old stuff, but if the band is aware that many fans still want old material and that this won't interfere with the new phase at all, we'll be happy.

We're all super happy when something old comes out, like the recent Footage Released: Linkin Park Burbank 2008,

Today @felipeintheend gave us We Made It (FULL LIVE DEBUT), in addition to the other shows that have been appearing in the community over time, that's really cool.

I believe the band has hundreds of digitalized and edited shows ready to be watched.
