A new interview with Ryu touches on Fort Minor, his relationship with Mike, and more. Interesting listen!

Joining other songs he has mentioned over time, including "Runaway" and "QWERTY" since he joined Linkin Park as songs he would like to perform live... Colin would also like "With You" to pop in the setlist. Another big track the band members have mentioned over the past year is "Blackout" from A Thousand Suns as one they'd like to give some playing time to. Let's see if "With You" shows up in 2026 - fingers crossed!

In an absolutely insane twist, the band's camp has gotten us a date for this. November 22, 2005. You can't even believe it. lol. The damn date of the album release! How badass is that? It's in New York City, the day after 7th Avenue Drop, at the Viacom Studios. Something that was a mystery for TWENTY YEARS is now solved. That's why the community, the band, the band's team, the fans, etc all being active and working fluidly/positively together is so important. Now something that could have been a mystery forever is figured out. Just great! Forever appreciative of the LP team and band who have collectively added so much to the site over the years we can't even guess at the number of contributions. Definitely a LOT. https://linkinpedia.com/wiki/Live:20051122

Simply incredible. So much to say here. The quality of this is amazing and what the impact of this is in the archival world is immeasurable. There are so few full Fort Minor recordings in good quality (for many reasons). The band is on fire at this show and there is so much going on during the show - for example the jam at the end of Feel Like Home is incredible. Numb/Encore burns the place down, it was a top song on the planet the entire previous year before the show. Amazing vibes, you can tell they love Germany (Mike especially). The setlist is so good... Believe Me is a monster song. They really are on top of the rapping with songs like Dolla in there too. This is just too good - have listened 5 times to the entire thing with many more listens to come. This is so important for that era as there is no full Fort Minor official live release for some reason (a SHAME). We, and many others, will look back on this recording in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50 years and say "wow, this was a fucking good one and this is an epic snapshot into that era." Well done on a simply amazing recording. If this was 2007 or 2009, there would be 100+ comments on this immediately. The forum part of the Internet is going downhill but it is still very necessary for what we do on LPLive to archive the band - but that's why this isn't burning the forum down. But just check the YouTube comments. Badass. We'll share the hell out of this. Thank you so much for putting this out there...what a damn epic set.

Yeah that Skive show is really amazing. Every show of the tour is worth listening to. What is interesting is they talk so LITTLE in these shows lol. It's just song after song in business mode.

This thread was inspiring, to the point where I am listening to the entire 2012 Europe tour right now. Finishing appealing/unblocking the last 3 DSPs on the LPLive YouTube from the end of that tour. All these shows are phenomenal.

This is honestly unbelievable. LP has played 5 shows in Denmark ever, and you get 2 shows like this. In comparison, they played around 40 North American shows just this year. 2008 gets the Wake 2.0 real live debut, a VERY rare Reading My Eyes comeback, and you even get The Little Things That Give You Away which wasn't in every set. 2012 gets this insane set. Not to mention 2007 got the live debut of Leave Out All The Rest and TLTGYA. Still remember posting here on LPLive during the 2008 tour and checking for hours on YouTube after Skive 2008 to find a Reading My Eyes video. There is one where the guy filming totally freaks out when it starts haha. And there is another video where we found out for the first time after the show that they changed the Points of Authority outro! Honestly those are insane stats for a country with only 5 LP shows. Some very important things happened in Denmark in LP history. Hopefully they return for the next album! Now playing! Yes, all good points about the crowds in 2012 not loving the ATS/LT stuff as much as they do now. That happens. Right now Catalyst is a monster track and it's hard to believe they will ever drop that song from the show.

It's a weird take by them to be upset the band is playing *more* shows than originally announced. People should be grateful we even have a tour, much less that they are playing new areas. There are a million things that could describe this - the Lolla contract says they can't announce the headline show first, or LP didn't know demand was this big until Lolla tickets sold. Who knows. This is really common for them, they will announce a Hamburg arena show after they have Rock am Ring/Rock im Park announced for months. Etc.

Wow the show intro here could go down as one of the most iconic starts to an LP show ever. Like top 5 moment for professionally filmed LP show starts. That's a hell of an intro.

Watched this show yesterday. Have a LOT to say - first of all, this is an insanely good performance. Remember this is the THIRD show of the entire touring cycle and the SECOND in Europe. That is crazy they were performing this good with a brand new setlist already. There is true magic with the OG 6. The band started so hard on the LT tour and then for the U.S. tour, while the setlists were GREAT overall, they really sadly fucked us a bit with the songs. I really wanted to see Runaway and From the Inside. This core set from Pinkpop should have been played exactly like this in the U.S. - it still bothers me they didn't keep this set. Anyway, about the show. The start is pretty incredible because they run through all these heavy songs for half an hour and just crush them. The crowd is really into it, Chester is blowing up, and Rob is rocking so hard he has to take his glasses off. God damnit APFMH into Given Up into Faint into With You, Runaway, From the Inside, and Somewhere I Belong is just insane! If APFMH didn't kill you, then Faint in the 3 spot would destroy someone in the pit. lol. Brad's guitar on With You just sounds heavy and dirty, in a good way. What a gift this is for fans. We take it for granted at the time this is happening because it's just another show, just the same set, etc. But damn this show rocks it big time. I remember this show, I remember Lisbon the show before it, this whole tour had tremendous shows. And can you believe they didn't even play the UK in 2012?! There were *entire tours* proposed for LIVING THINGS in 2012-2013 that did not happen for some reason - unsure if band politics/internal stuff, or offers, or more, but what a SHAME because that era was epic for them on stage. They roll like 14 singles in a row to end the show but hey who is complaining with that? They are in great form, the crowd loves it, they are having a blast. Banger after banger, could you imagine seeing them at this show? You get like every major LP song in one set you've ever liked, with maybe Lying From You as literally the only exception. But you get some Hybrid Theory deep cuts instead. Badass. Mike told me that summer at a M&G they deliberately wanted to play more old songs that year for fans and he hoped they enjoyed them, I said YES we love that shit of course. To many this is just another show, but think about it like this - you could have seriously released a show like this as something significant (a live DVD) if you are Linkin Park and it'd be one of your most legendary/well-known shows ever. What we all would do to see the OG 6 perform one more time, with a set like this... wow. Breaking the Habit in the beautiful sunset gives off huge TLTGYA vibes from the Road to Revolution DVD... just epic. You can hear the crowd roaring the BTH chorus... look at the emotion coming from the band, Chester is wearing his heart on his sleeve on the bridge with his gestures, Mike is jamming, Brad is singing, Phoenix has his hand in the air, we get one more of these epic "shake the mic" videos at the end of the song from Chester. Fuck. GREAT stuff here.

Damn this is a good show. The best Points yet from Emily and the crowd is insanely great. The time between shows reflects positively on Emily's voice here as she is really on it. Really like it!

Well done on this. This is a bit messy if they are removing "thank you" and such from songs... they have to be careful or they will eliminate the longest versions of the tracks as the primary versions that exist. The goal should be to always export the full song (no transitions) and add a tiny fade at the end if needed. They seem to instead be chopping things. What was removed from Standing in the Middle? The transition into the live sound of the next song?

Sorry to hear. Always sucks when that happens. Next time for sure. One thing is guaranteed, with 4 shows in Mexico this year alone, they will return every album for multiple shows.

The U.S. even had LA start and end the 2012 year, which is cool. Club show for LPU and then KROQ Acoustic Christmas.

No one knows. Maybe something shorter again. But better than nothing. Don't forget 2013, I'd say that was the last of the prime for LP1. Before The Hunting Party era. They had amazing setlists in 2013. One of them was like APFMH -> Papercut to start or something crazy.
