Just realized that OSC is not on it lol fuck

 

 

 

If you told us in 2004 that the band would eventually release a live album without One Step Closer included, it would be pretty unbelievable, right? It isn't a highlight of this era and shows whereas something like Waiting For The End and The Catalyst are insanely popular live songs right now, but is of course surprising to see. What a time to be alive lol

Speaking of 20th anniversaries... Are you guys preparing something for the anniversary of this site...?

 

We are working on a few things, yes! September 2026 is 20 years of LPLive.

 

Also, saw on the LP promo video yesterday that there is a jade green vinyl coming too.

 

[ScottiePippo]

Also in Italy I can see 21,99 in the Warner store. Anyway I'll buy it as usual in one of my favorite records store in Italy. There's no way it's gonna cost 22€ there, it will be like 15 or 16 I guess

From what I understand, the Jade Vinyl will be sold in theaters, right? That's really interesting.

 

I already bought the Transparent Orange and the Opaque White vinyls, plus the CD. Now they're going to make me buy another one. 🫠

 

One criticism: the vinyls are not being sold in Brazil, where the show was actually recorded. On Twitter, Lorenzo said he was working to at least bring the CD to Brazil.

I only got mine because I'm in Canada, but I think it's unfair to the fans who were actually at the show. 😡

As a guitarist, I like the mix of SIB here. For years and years, live recordings always mixed Brad as sort of a lead guitar and then Mike's chords were barely audible.

This is way closer to the album mix. Big, all-encompassing power chords that fill out the mix and then the octaves (Brad/Alex) make chord extensions on those power chords.

 

 

I was literally going to say this, its great to finally have a good quality recording with Mike's guitar shining. I dont get all the whining, you guys have hella versions with the octaves mixed up.

Its also great to not have OSC for once

That actually is really wild. https://heartmerch.com.br/collections/linkin-park
No vinyl here, but CD coming soon as you said.

The Brazilian market has to have its own pressing - the vinyls of From Zero before were made in Argentina: https://www.discogs.com/release/32453238-Linkin-Park-From-Zero

Guess that was the easiest way to do it for them then ship from Argentina to Brazil. No idea what goes into the logistics behind all of this. But they have known this release was coming since the show happened, which is more time than they had for From Zero, so plenty of time to line up a pressing for Brazil even if it had to be done in Argentina again.

 

Would be very surprised to not see the vinyl pop up eventually, whether soon or later on down the road, in Brazil. The show was there! lol

[Coizu]

I think it is interesting that they include LOATR but decided to omit BID. One would think that they regard BID as a more important song in the live set since it's played in all shows while LOATR was more or less dropped after 2024. So why make the opposite decision for the album?

Anyway, I am happy with it since I favor a high quality recording of Mike singing LOATR over BID.

Not having the whole show it's not the end of the world, but you know... It kinda piss me off. Another wasted oportunity for a live album.

I was just checking your site

I like reading your list and being surprised at all the stuff that's out there. 

 

Would be nice if LPL creates some interviews with some staff members and important community members like you because i would love to know more about your favorite shows or some cool stories about how you obtained certain shows, etc. 

 

Must be fun and you deserve the honor man.

I started searching for shows around 2005–2006, and I've been obsessed with it ever since. Once I set my mind on finding a recording, there was usually no stopping me until I either got it or hit a dead end.

I was part of the LP Live staff around 2009 (I think), back when I managed to get an exclusive interview with Chester for the site. Around that same time, I relentlessly pursued a Linkin Park taper, Devore04, trying to convince him to release his recording. He kept making promises for months, then backing out. I confronted him almost every week about it until he finally got fed up and made a huge rant on some random forum, talking nonsense about the Linkin Park fanbase, LP Live, and everything else. He also claimed he wasn't the actual taper, which was completely false. Eventually, some of the staff (not Mark) got upset with my approach and removed me as Staff and changed to a VIP contributor (lol), mainly because they were worried my persistence would hurt the site's reputation.

 

Looking back, I have to admit I sometimes went way too far, especially considering cultural differences between countries. But at the same time... in many cases, those crazy methods actually worked.

The reason so many of the recordings you all enjoy today exist is because I almost never accepted the first "no." I kept asking, following up, and trying again—for months or even years. That's how recordings like Music for Relief, Roxy 2000, JKL 2003, London 2001, and many other audience recordings eventually surfaced. I stopped counting a long time ago, but I've helped release well over 200 recordings, including pro-shots, upgrades, and FLAC sources. Huge thanks to Nick Kramar and Mark—they helped tremendously, especially when we needed money to recover or acquire recordings.

 

Every show has a story behind it—usually a stressful one. Maybe 10% of the recordings were found and released quickly. The other 90% took years of persistence, broken promises, frustration, negotiations, money, countless emails, and sometimes even calling a taper out of the blue without any prior permission. It wasn't always pretty, but that's how many of these recordings were ultimately preserved.

 

We had some incredible people working behind the scenes to bring Linkin Park recordings to everyone: me, Nick, Mark, Jonas, Max, Fifek, PCfreak, and many other old-school collectors. Sorry if I forgot anyone!

The main reason I stopped releasing recordings is simple: it's a new chapter for the band. They're building a new fan base, and not many of the old fans are still around—or still care about the kind of recordings I spent years chasing.

 

The amount of work involved is enormous. As I mentioned before, some recordings took years of persistence, money, and personal dedication to obtain. That's time I could have invested in my career, my family, or simply living my own life. Releasing a show today only to receive two or three comments from the few remaining people who truly appreciate that era just isn't enough motivation anymore.

It is what it is. Every era eventually comes to an end, and for me, that time has passed.

 

Ironically, I also think this may influence the band's own archival decisions. As more time goes by, fewer people remain emotionally connected to the original era of the band. That makes preserving and releasing historical material a race against time. The audience that truly values those recordings won't be around forever.

YEAH! Finally fantastic mix!! It's like live in texas on drugs. Live In Texas had good guitar and overall audio quality, but the audience sucked. Road To revolution was idk, like it was mixed by me if i was 12 years old... SiB in sao paulo mix is fantastic

Yes, the CD costs only €14.99 in the EU Linkin Park Store, but shipping to Germany adds another €8.20 (which is actually quite a lot) which is odd, since items from the EU store are shipped from Germany. I don't know how much shipping costs to other countries.

What’s so great about not having OSC? It’s never great not to have OSC; it’s one of the best Linkin Park live songs with Chester, and it’s great live with Emily, too.

I’m glad BID isn’t included; I find the song annoying, I don’t like it at all. LOATR isn’t exactly a favorite of mine either, but with the intro they’ve been playing since 2017 and in slightly modified versions in 2024 and 2026 the song is actually quite nice live.

Comecei a procurar shows por volta de 2005-2006 e, desde então, fiquei obcecado. Uma vez que decido encontrar uma gravação, geralmente não há nada que me impeça até que eu a consiga ou chegue a um beco sem saída.

Eu fazia parte da equipe do LP Live por volta de 2009 (acho), quando consegui uma entrevista exclusiva com o Chester para o site. Nessa mesma época, eu perseguia incansavelmente um gravador do Linkin Park, o Devore04 , tentando convencê-lo a lançar sua gravação. Ele fazia promessas por meses, e depois desistia. Eu o confrontava quase toda semana sobre isso até que ele finalmente se cansou e fez um enorme desabafo em algum fórum aleatório, falando besteiras sobre os fãs do Linkin Park, o LP Live e tudo mais. Ele também alegou que não era o gravador original, o que era completamente falso. Eventualmente, alguns membros da equipe (não o Mark) ficaram chateados com a minha abordagem e me removeram da equipe, me transformando em um colaborador VIP (risos), principalmente porque estavam preocupados que minha persistência prejudicasse a reputação do site.

 

Olhando para trás, tenho que admitir que às vezes fui longe demais, especialmente considerando as diferenças culturais entre os países. Mas, ao mesmo tempo... em muitos casos, esses métodos malucos realmente funcionaram.

O motivo de tantas gravações que vocês apreciam hoje existirem é que eu quase nunca aceitei um primeiro "não". Eu insistia, acompanhava o caso e tentava novamente — por meses ou até anos. Foi assim que gravações como Music for Relief, Roxy 2000, JKL 2003, London 2001 e muitas outras gravações de público acabaram surgindo. Parei de contar há muito tempo, mas ajudei a lançar bem mais de 200 gravações, incluindo gravações profissionais, versões remasterizadas e arquivos FLAC. Um enorme agradecimento a Nick Kramar e Mark — eles ajudaram imensamente, especialmente quando precisávamos de dinheiro para recuperar ou adquirir gravações.

 

Cada show tem uma história por trás — geralmente uma história estressante. Talvez 10% das gravações tenham sido encontradas e divulgadas rapidamente. Os outros 90% exigiram anos de persistência, promessas quebradas, frustração, negociações, dinheiro, incontáveis e-mails e, às vezes, até mesmo ligações inesperadas para os gravadores, sem qualquer permissão prévia. Nem sempre foi fácil, mas foi assim que muitas dessas gravações foram preservadas.

 

Tivemos pessoas incríveis trabalhando nos bastidores para levar as gravações do Linkin Park a todos: eu, Nick, Mark, Jonas, Max, Fifek, PCfreak e muitos outros colecionadores da velha guarda. Desculpem se esqueci de alguém!

O principal motivo pelo qual parei de lançar gravações é simples: é um novo capítulo para a banda. Eles estão construindo uma nova base de fãs, e muitos dos antigos fãs não estão mais por perto — ou não se importam mais com o tipo de gravação que passei anos buscando.

 

O trabalho envolvido é enorme. Como mencionei antes, algumas gravações exigiram anos de persistência, dinheiro e dedicação pessoal para serem obtidas. É um tempo que eu poderia ter investido na minha carreira, na minha família ou simplesmente vivendo a minha vida. Lançar um programa hoje e receber apenas dois ou três comentários das poucas pessoas que ainda apreciam aquela época já não é motivação suficiente.

É o que é. Toda era eventualmente chega ao fim, e para mim, esse tempo já passou.

 

Ironicamente, acredito que isso também pode influenciar as próprias decisões da banda em relação ao seu arquivo. Com o passar do tempo, menos pessoas permanecem emocionalmente conectadas à era original da banda. Isso faz com que a preservação e o lançamento de material histórico se tornem uma corrida contra o tempo. O público que realmente valoriza essas gravações não estará por aqui para sempre.

 

 

I always find origin stories like this amazing; I know you gave a summary, but there’s no doubt that you were—and still are—a key figure for the fans who love this kind of material.
Believe me, brother, a lot may have changed, but there’s still a niche group of people who love it when something previously unreleased from the *LP1* era surfaces.
I can’t even imagine how hard it must have been chasing down all those things over the years; without a doubt, if you had given up back then, we wouldn't have many of these shows today.

I mentioned these releases in the chat a few weeks ago—I remember *The Roxy* was incredible. I joined the community in 2012, and it was like discovering a side of LP I’d never seen anywhere else, haha.

I still appreciate—and always will appreciate—these releases. I hope that someday these kinds of experiences can happen again here. Thank you, @felipe, for bringing so many releases to the community. And who knows? Maybe someday, when you feel up to it, you might treat the community and the old-school fans—who still get a thrill out of this—to something new.
All the best, brother!

But now you can barely make out a whole guitar part in this mix (the intro/verse riff or however you want to call it) so I think it is a hard stretch to say that one is closer to the album mix than the other. In general I think the sound of the mix is great though. Alex' guitar just needs to be louder and it would be a 10/10 in my opinion.

 

I actually think that is deliberate, the mix of that verse-guitar has been kind of low since the comeback. I think it's because of the higher tuning, it can sound a little more thin and grating on the ear, so it's more buried in the mix (I guess the same reason they took they highest synth note out of Lost In The Echo). For my tastes, it sounds good there

 OSC is in every single recording. If theres a song that can be left out of the classics, thats the one

Really a shame as that was such a highlight of the 2024 shows and who knows if the band will ever play it again.

[martinez]

After a few listenings I like in general the mix of the SIB track. It was a surprise to see Neal Avron that he mixed it the same as seeing Ethan Mates responsible for usually doing mix of the live stuff, making a mix of the studio LP track in 2006.

 

Can't wait to listen to the WID live track, since that is one of my favorite done by Emily. I think I'm waiting for this one more than Faint.

 

Is it a possible that Ethan Mates record the whole show? The only reason I'm not sure about this are the credits. For example on the expanded digital edition Jim Ebdon is credited as a "Recording Engineer" and Ethan as who mixed it. On this Unshatter release Ethan is credited as Recording Engineer, and Jim Ebdon as Front of House Mixer.

A shame, BUT the silver lining is that there’s the beautiful version from

Hamburg on YouTube, LOATR will be really nice, was only played 12 times total on the FZ tour, right? In an ideal world we’d get the full show. No idea why this band has such an aversion to releasing full shows on live albums. Lol.

That’s true, the version of "My December" with Emily is great; it’s a real shame it was left off the soundtrack. "My December" is a Linkin Park classic.

Sure, we have the great version from the Hamburg concert, but also the version from the São Paulo stream. LOATR was played 12 times on the From Zero Tour: 10 times in 2024 and twice in 2026.

[LeonardoMF93]

I think it is very likely that this show will be released on physical media later. I really think that after the movie leaves theaters, the band will release a double DVD or Bluray, with one disc for the movie and another for the full concert without cuts.

 

Because of this, it doesn't bother me that some songs are not on streaming, CD or vinyl right now. I think there will be more recordings of the show and it will still be released in full.
