Yeah, it really sucks. Bamboozle was a great show and a DSP would have done it great justice. Might even be considered a fan favorite show if there were one.

I know! I lost TONS of my stuff and it sucks.

I think Astat posted that before...but cool, thanks for posting. I liked it TBH.

Well....I really love the Summer Sonic shows a lot. They might just be my favorite. I also love Berlin 2007. Also, if someone could please hook me up with the Summer Sonic shows or Berlin 2007 it would be much appreciated. I lost a lot of my older shows when my old computer crashed. I have the HQ songs from Summer Sonic but I want the full bootlegs that I used to have...

Yeah, definitely not LP, that's for sure.

Your wife is lucky, she got to see Qwerty live.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a DSP for this show... it was before they started doing DSP's. They didn't start doing DSP's until Auburn, the first show of PR07, which started on July 25th, 2007.

I bought the super fan pack for 100 bucks...this isn't that bad of a deal really.

We should. I could also go down South maybe, if I have enough money. I always wanted to see a show in Atlanta or Florida.

This was a really special show for me. The time had finally come, I was so fucking excited. Me and my best friend went to this show together, once again. My Grandma drove us down to meet my older cousin Salem, MA. We were staying at her house the night before and she was driving us to the show the next day. We had fun the night before. Can't remember what we got for dinner, but we just hung out and played some LP and goofed around. Explored Salem a little bit, too. The next morning, I remember waking up and thinking it was hot as FUCK. It was extremely hot, it was like 98 degrees and sunny as hell. Being from MA, we get hot days in the summer, but usually not that hot. We showered, which was almost futile since I was drenched in sweat immediately after getting out of the shower, and headed out to the show. We got there early and got let in no problem. My cousin just dropped us off and was going to come back for the Main Stage. We rushed over to the Revolution Stage to catch Madina Lake and they were really, really good, they rocked it. Great band. Styles Of Beyond was absent from the show, which I later discovered why, but I'll write about that later in the review. Next up was The Bled, who I didn't really know much about at the time, but they were a little too heavy for me at that point in time, because I didn't really like heavy music like that during that point of my life. But they were still cool to see, nonetheless. Next up was Saosin, who I really enjoyed. I don't think my friend liked them at all, though, but I thought they put on a good show and I really liked their album a lot. I remember a lot of crowd surfing going on during their set. Finally came Mindless Self Indulgence, the headliners of the Revolution Stage, and me and my friend were both really excited to see them. They put on an awesome show. I remember during one point, my friend actually fell down in the middle of one of their songs and I quickly picked him back up, saving him from getting trampled. We used to joke about it for a while after the show that I saved his life. Haha. Jimmy was crazy funny at this show too, I can't remember all his stage antics, but they were awesome. Really cool band and we were happy we got to see them play live. After the Revolution Stage, we headed to get some drinks, and I happened to see Steve, Righ? from Mindless Self Indulgence walking around. I talked to him and he signed my ticket. I then went and bought some merch. I got two shirts, the one with the wheel logo on the front and tour dates and bands on the back, and the one with the MTM photoshoot on the front and tour dates and bands on the back. We then headed to the Main Stage. We had seats at this show, which sucked, but oh well. My cousin had arrived and she went to the seats we had. We watched Julien-K and I remember my friend was really into them, he liked them a lot. I was into them as well, just not nearly as much as my friend, I was more into Styles Of Beyond at the time, while he wasn't, etc. It's funny because I now love Julien-K and their album. Anyways, we watched their set and it was good. Chester never came out for Technical Difficulties. Then came Placebo, who we both didn't really care for at the time, even though I love them now. I think we watched a few songs and then we left and got some food and hung around the venue a little bit. I'm not sure if we even watched HIM at this show. I loved HIM but my friend didn't really like them. I think we may have skipped their set, honestly. We were having fun hanging around the venue and talking with people, etc. Next up was Taking Back Sunday. I actually had a Meet & Greet at this show, so I didn't watch them, not sure if my friend did, I think he did. The Meet & Greet was awesome and it took up a lot of time waiting and getting in, etc. For some reason, I remember Chester being in a pretty bad mood during the Meet & Greet, he seemed really annoyed, and he snapped on one of the other people in line about something. Anyways, it was really cool meeting the band and I was more hyped than ever at that point. I got my MTM deluxe edition signed. Once it was over, My Chemical Romance was halfway through their set, which kind of sucked because I was a big fan of them. Me and my friend met back up and got ready for motherfucking Linkin Park. He was with my cousin in the seats, still. They opened with Wake and tore through Given Up. Chester came running out like a madman after the kabouki dropped, he seemed really pissed off, like he was at the Meet & Greet. Made for some good energy. Haha. The band really had a ton of energy at this show. During the beginning of No More Sorrow, Mike said ''This is gonna be a good one, I can tell''. The crowd was nuts at this show. Very loud and wild. Mike doing Nobody's Listening over Points was epic, even though he messed up the intro, it was still amazing. In Pieces was really cool to hear live, I loved it. Chester also messed up the lyrics a bit but it didn't matter to me. Shadow Of The Day at this show, the only time ever, had a different guitar solo. Really fucking cool. I love listening to the DSP recording of it. Once the main set was done, the encore was CRAZY. They opened it up with One Step Closer and the crowd went pure ape shit. Mike was loving it. During In The End, the crowd sang the bridge and at the end of the song, Chester said it was the loudest he has ever heard a crowd sing the part before. The crowd really was nuts at this show, I'm not just saying that. They closed with Bleed It Out and Mike dedicated the song to Boston and Brad's hair. Haha. So funny. Really was an epic show and an experience that I will never forget for the rest of my life. After the show, we headed to the parking lot to leave. We still were bouncing off the walls with energy because of how epic it was. I remember we had to wait a REALLY long time getting out of the parking lot because of all the traffic. I remember my friend spraying suntan lotion out the window at people and people getting pissed off, so funny. Not sure why, but we were just dumb punk kids back then. Once we finally got out, we wanted to get some after show grub, so we decided that we would go to IHOP. On the way there, I got a call from S.O.B. via the app thing at the time that you could leave messages and have the band leave you a message back. I had asked earlier in the day why they weren't at the Mansfield show and they said that Tak had a really high fever so they couldn't perform, and sorry that I missed them on the tour. I didn't care because I would be seeing them in Hartford and Syracuse, anyways. Once we got to IHOP, we had a huge meal, so good. After that we went back to my cousin's house and crashed. Was an epic day and night, something I'll never forget.

Thanks. Here are some pics that my girlfriend took from Manchester http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n115/Ge...8-2-1800161.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n115/Ge...8-2-1800298.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n115/Ge...8-2-1800486.jpg

He said ''you can't boo a fucking baby you bastards!''. Definitely was a great show.

Where to start... I was really excited for this show. I was living with my girlfriend during this time period, and her Dad, a professional truck driver, was going to drive us to the show, which was cool. We left pretty early in the morning. My friend who went to the Projekt Revolution 2007 shows with me was also going to this show, but he was heading to the show with his Dad. I'm not sure if we stopped for food or anything before the show, I don't think we did. Once we got there, there were some people already waiting at the venue, but only a few. I remember it started pouring rain pretty soon after we got there, which was unusual for February in New Hampshire. I got soaked but I honestly didn't really care, as long as I got front row for Linkin Park. I think there was a little pizza place nearby that we stopped at and we ate some food and got out of the rain for a little bit. When we got back to the line to wait, I remember some person came by and asked us if we wanted to see one of the tour buses or something, I can't remember what it was for, I think it was some Verizon thing. We obliged and checked it out. Pretty cool, but nothing too special. Once we got back to the line, my friend and his Dad arrived and they got in line right behind us. We finally got let into the venue and we rushed immediately to the stage, I didn't even stop to check out the merch or anything, which I wish I had done now, since the tour had some sick merch that I never got the chance to own. We waited for Chiodos, who opened up the show. We got right up front on the bar, which was epic. Chiodos started off rather poorly, as they reportedly had sound issues and set up issues during the first part of the set, which I didn't know at the time, I just thought they sounded off. I remember one of the members of the band, I think the guitarist, wore shorts and flip-flops, which was pretty funny, since it was the middle of the winter on the east coast. Anyways, I didn't mind Chiodos' set, and I already had known some of their music beforehand, I liked them. Next up was Coheed And Cambria. I wasn't a big fan of them at the time of this show, but my girlfriend absolutely loved them, so it was cool for her. She sang along to the songs, etc. I remember a lot of people at the show loving them as well. One person even said that he thought they should be headlining and not Linkin Park, yeah right. Lol. I didn't mind their set really, I just wasn't really into them, and neither was my friend. Once they were over, it was finally time for Linkin Park. Once the lights went out and the intro to What I've Done started, I knew it was time. It featured the AMBO intro and the way it built up really hyped the crowd, including myself and my friend. Chester came out wearing some awesome hoodie and then the rest of the band came out, and they started rocking. It was amazing, Chester sounded SO good at this show, he really nailed What I've Done and the other songs. Faint and No More Sorrow came after and the energy kept getting higher and higher. The crowd was really loud and full of energy, like at the Mansfield 2007 show. During the bridge of From The Inside, Chester was rocking out so hard that he accidentally dropped his microphone on the ground between the barrier for the crowd and the stage. He signaled for the guards to hand it to him, but they didn't at first, which prompted Chester to get somewhat visibly pissed off. However, they handed it to him eventually and he continued the bridge. You can hear all of it in the DSP recording, I just thought it was a cool moment for some reason. I saw Hands Held High for the first time at this show, which was cool to see live. I remember really enjoying Given Up, I thought Chester sounded great on it at this show. Next came Valentine's Day, which is one of my favorite Linkin Park songs, so I was really happy and into the song. It featured a unique intro which hadn't been done before this show, so that was also really cool. I remember someone crowd surfed during it and kicked my girlfriend in the back of the head. Haha. But I really loved seeing it live and I remember it well to this day. Mike did a short cover of Umbrella by Rihanna after Numb, which was really weird, but cool in a way. The crowd was like wtf? It was the only time he did that on the tour. My friend's Dad absolutely loves Bleed It Out, and he went crazy once the intro started. Mike actually dedicated the song to him, because he was going so crazy. You can hear it in the DSP. He said ''We'll do this song for two cool guys here and a guy over there'' or something, but he pointed right at him when he said it. That was really cool. Next up was My December, which was really cool to see live, especially in piano form, it was a highlight of the set for me. A Place For My Head and One Step Closer closed the set, which is in my opinion, the best closer ever. Huge energy and everyone exploded. It was awesome. Really great end to the show. Once it was over, I remember just standing there on the bar thinking it was the best show I had ever seen by LP, seeing them 3 times before it. My friend felt exactly the same. After the show, we headed out to the exit to find my girlfriend's Dad. He actually bought me a t-shirt, which was really cool of him, and my girlfriend got a Coheed And Cambria messenger bag. Pretty awesome. Once that was done, we left the venue and I don't think we even stopped to eat anything, I think we did stop at a gas station, though, and got some snacks. Once we got home, I had some romantic time with my girlfriend (and it was amazing hahahaha) and we crashed. Really great show.

Definitely. Hunger Strike is worth it alone.

What is the song that got you into Linkin Park
Geki replied to LPPRJKT4's topic in Everything Linkin Park
My friend bought Hybrid Theory in 2000 or early 2001 and showed it to me. I remember liking it and buying my own copy, and playing it often. But then I kind of forgot about it a little bit. I used to listen to a lot of music, and I also was only 10 years old. But I was allowed to listen to basically whatever I wanted and I remember listening to basically strictly nu-metal, so I listened to a lot of Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, System Of A Down and all the others. However, I remember getting some X-Games video game and hearing APFMH as the intro to the game, with footage from X-Games shit. I then forgot that I had that CD (Hybrid Theory) and fell in love with it again. I wasn't really a ''fan'' at that time, I just liked Hybrid Theory, the CD, a lot. But I knew nothing really about the band or anything. I didn't get hardcore into the band until 2003 when Meteora was coming out, I loved SIB and got the album when it came out and after that I became obsessed with the band. Even joined LPU 3 later that year. So, I guess you could say it was either APFMH or SIB that got me into the band. APFMH got me into the band but SIB got me obsessed with the band. -
For some reason, I honestly think that version of My December is from Lexington, KY. I'm probably wrong though. But yeah, like people have said, Hunger Strike is from Burgettstown, PA as well as Crawling from the LPU.

They will never play 8.0 songs live!!!

I wish LP did RME on PR08...

Thank you! It was around 70 degrees I'd say. The band thought it was cold. They made some joke about it at the Meet & Greet saying that it's cold for them since they're from California.
