hahninator Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Linkin Park plays today at the Festhalle in Frankfurt, Germany for the last show for "A Thousand Suns" in 2010 on the main continent of Europe. This is the sixth show in Germany on this tour, the tenth show of the European leg of the tour, and the thirteenth show of the World Tour. LP last played in Frankfurt in January 2008 on the winter European Tour (show page here), which was on Rob's birthday! They stopped 'Bleed It Out' mid-song to sing to him and then picked it back up to finish. A video of that can be found That was the first time they had performed in Frankfurt, making this show the second. An interesting note is that LP has played 36 shows in Germany from 2001 until present day (counting Frankfurt) out of 40 scheduled shows. Outside of the USA, Germany is tied with England for the MOST full shows with 35 (aka not a 1-3 song performance). Not surprising, considering Chester told the fans at Projekt Revolution in Germany in 2008 that the country was home to the most hardcore Linkin Park fans in the world. The German show count for Linkin Park: 2001: 12 out of 13 (1 canceled) 2003: 3 out of 6 (3 canceled) 2004: 1 2007: 4 2008: 7 2009: 2 2010: 6 TV/Radio performances: 1 (2007) 35 shows, 1 TV/radio appearance, 36 total That brings them to 36 shows total in the country of Germany. Here's where it gets tricky though. England stands at 35, but they have more TV/radio performances. 2001: 9 2003: 10 2004: 2 2007: 2 2008: 6 2009: 1 2010: 5 TV/Radio performances: 7 (2001, 2003, 2007) 35 shows, 7 TV/radio performances, 42 total So compare it how you want...Germany and England will both have the same amount of full shows after this year, but the band has actually performed more in England. Hopefully all my research is correct! So congratulations to these two countries for having the most Linkin Park concerts! I would venture a guess and say the most played city in the world for them outside of Los Angeles, CA would be London, UK. Anyway, all that aside, last night in Zürich (show page here), LP played the "other" setlist on this tour with 'Lying From You' and 'Leave Out All The Rest' instead of 'Papercut' and 'The Messenger'. The chorus of 'Burning In The Skies' was over the bridge of 'Bleed It Out' for the first time since Köln (show page here). Will 'A Place For My Head' return in any shape or form this year? Will the band just use these two setlists for the London shows? Will we see any other changes to the setlist? Mike himself mentioned here that the band was going to rotate setlists later, saying "Because we had so many new songs and a bunch of new technology (new to us, at least) on stage, we started the tour with one set list, with the intention of switching it up as we got comfortable with it." Who is going to Frankfurt? We should be getting live setlist updates via Twitter here. SETLIST: 01. The Requiem 02. Wretches and Kings 03. Papercut 04. Given Up 05. New Divide 06. Faint 07. Empty Spaces 08. When They Come For Me 09. No More Sorrow 10. Jornada Del Muerto 11. Waiting For The End 12. Wisdom, Justice & Love 13. Iridescent 14. Numb 15. The Radiance (Live Version) 16. Breaking The Habit 17. Shadow Of The Day 18. Crawling 19. One Step Closer ---------------------------- 20. Fallout 21. The Catalyst 22. The Messenger 23. In The End 24. What I've Done 25. Bleed It Out (Reading My Eyes verse 1 over intro, BITS chorus over bridge) M&G info: 'By Myself' is very unlikely, 'A Place For My Head' will stay exclusive to the one show (Paris), Rob will "keep in mind" 'P5hng Me A*wy' and 'Figure.09' for next year, 'Reading My Eyes' requested over 'Bleed It Out'.

Legend Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Some badass stats right here. Germany is looking sexy this year with all these shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Del Porto Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I believe the setlist in Frankfurt may have a song not played yet this year. This is because the last show in Germany this year, besides the facts that you mentioned Hahninator. Maybe the return of APFMH? It is difficult but not impossible. Maybe another song.

RoddY Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'm predicting new or rotating setlists in Australia. It's well into the tour and they LOVE to play here. It may be as little as 2 sets that change. But it's better than nothing... They should really include APFMH in one of them though... "Wretches" and WTCFM remind me of it so much...

I agree that the Australian tour we may have rotating setlists. It may be added "My December" in place of "The Messenger". It would be interesting to open the setlist with "WTCFM" with the participation of Street Drum Corps (who knows, maybe someday in the future...)

Bliss Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Nice post! I think tonight will be the with one of the two setlists: papercut and the messenger or LFY and LOATR. I don't think they will change it up tonight but maybe in Australia they will change it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaoChouChan Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hey guys. I'll be there. But I got an impoortant qusestion to ask. A few fans (including me and a French friend) have made an artbook for the 10 years anniversary of LP that was originally planned that my friend would give it to the band in Paris, but unfortunately that didn't work. So she sent the book to me via OverNight Express and hoped I could do it for her. But as it seems now, I wasn't chosen for a MnG either. So, now my question: Who's going to the MnG and would be so nice to take care of the book? I probably already found an LPUer from Frankfurt that would take it in there for me, but it would be nice to have some LPL members around to "guard" him (he's never been in a MnG before) and take some photos/film the great moment when LP finally get the book and open it for the first time since I cannot be there. It would be regrettable if over one year of work would be thrown away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maatze Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) I will leave home for the show at about 4 PM german time. I also got a M&G pass. So maybe we'll se each other. I try to post preshow pictures/venue/.... and so on on my twitter. Thanks Hahniator for puttin' it in the news /edit: just FYI, Set A = usuall set with Papercut and The Messenger Set B = LFY and LOATR Edited November 2, 2010 by maatze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaoChouChan Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Would be awesome if you could take pictures during the MnG I'll see that I'll meet up with you MnG guys. Do you know where exactly you have to go? Is there a meeting point outside/ VIP entrance for the MnG attendees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeniseShinizzle Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I want a really kick ass setlist for today! APFMH, FTI, By Myself .. whoa, some of that would be amazing for an encore. I mean its the last show in Germany for that year .. they need to kick our asses tonight & make some fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen575 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Going to that date, too. I really hope for something new. It doesn't have to be the best setlist (everything will be fine, they can't do something bad ), but one or two this-year-not-played songs would be great!!! The Main point would be a perfect show as a conclusion of this very nice German Tour! Oh yeah, can't wait for tonight!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
