  1. The energy at this one was out of this world. Boston too. Really the whole northeast run. Papercut, In The End, and Faint is an insane encore. The band was rocking - From The Inside is a monster song live. Loved seeing everyone, especially @sotrix Can't wait to do it again. That was FUN.
  2. It's expensive as shit to get gear from the U.S. down there and the country is very large - there needs to be a large payout financially to make it make sense.
  3. The mix on this is really different. Not sure what to think - think he overall did well but it sounds like the crowd completely cuts out when the guitar kicks in on the chorus. For once, might prefer the Ethan stuff over this for the new era of the band. Or am just used to it to the point where something new sounds different. Ethan appears to mix Emily's voice a bit better.
  4. Teasers have begun to pop up across Australia for Linkin Park, which has not seen the band perform there since 2013. It is unknown if Linkin Park will play the festival or not but it appears that a return to Australia is imminent!
  5. Keys here would be a great full circle moment on all the rotation songs, let's see what happens!
  6. The song rotations were fantastic. IGYEIH, it may have been the first one she didn't mess up live. The song is an absolute jam live and Emily rocks it big time. That's one of the best songs on From Zero live. Stained also sounded great. Love Points Of Authority and specifically, the guitar is sounding better and better on these older songs live. When they played two shows in Sao Paulo and changed the set quite a bit, we were really keeping our eyes peeled for Tokyo... which they absolutely nailed, and then they REALLY took it next level in Frankfurt. The two night stands are amazing and are pretty much a must-see for this iteration of the band because so much is different night-to-night and they'll even evolve from here to get crazier. The shows were too good and the crowds were wild - super loud. Let You Fade - awesome performance. The encore of Papercut, In The End, and Faint is unbeatable right now for the current iteration of the band. The crowds go absolutely insane on those. Really, really good. Had a blast!
  7. Did the LPU seats for this and wow they are the best seat in the venue. Amazing production and sound. The band sounded incredible. What a show!
  8. Looking forward to it. Song predictions: N1: Given Up, Good Things Go, Let You Fade, and Bleed It Out closer N2: maybe Keys?, Stained, A Place For My Head, and Faint closer
  9. Night one of Linkin Park's North American Tour was eventful in Brooklyn, with the first proper show Faint closer in North America since the beginning of 2011 and a very good mid-set performance of the fan-favorite track From The Inside. However, that's only scratching the surface for unique moments in the show. As fans have observed on the From Zero Tour, Mike has started picking pre-show songs with the band that play on the From Zero countdown before the show as well as adding fun moments in the show that change every night. Mike raps a verse over his solo medley (When They Come For Me/Remember The Name) every time it is played, as well as a verse over the bridge of Bleed It Out. To top it off, Overflow has started getting synth intros by Mike - things like Depeche Mode, Metallica, and more. We are tracking ALL of these every show over on our 2025 tour page. In Brooklyn, Mike took things a step further and intertwined quite a few of these moments together in tribute to Brooklyn's own, the legendary Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie). This was the first time he made connections like this throughout the show in tribute to another legendary musician. The pre-show song for the show kicked things off as Mike selected "Hypnotize" by Biggie. In terms of verses during the show, he rapped verse 3 of Linkin Park's "Until It Breaks" over his solo medley transition, which has a nod to Biggie in the lyrics and draws from his track "Who Shot Ya": it's something for your people on the block to black out and rock to give me what you need like Poppa, who shot you? "separate the weak from the obsolete" During "Bleed It Out", he said, "I want to do something very special right now" and rapped verse 1 of the iconic track "Notorious Thugs" over the bridge. Along with this being a nice nod to Biggie, this is really interesting for Linkin Park and Fort Minor fans additionally because the verse starts: armed and dangerous ain't too many can bang with us straight up weed, no angel dust label us notorious Recognize anything? The verse from Fort Minor's "There They Go", originally from the We Major Mixtape (and later as a bonus track on The Rising Tied), starts: armed and dangerous bitch y'all can't really hang with us in this everyone's so afraid of us, shit makes me wanna hang it up and quit Again, this is the first time Mike has looped these different parts of the show together in this manner, and we are excited to see what else happens as the tour progresses. And if you want a general New York nod, the intro of "Overflow" was the Love Theme from The Godfather... yet another tip of the hat to the area. Well done by Mike!
  10. Alright first of all, let's do a quick fucking review of this thing. We had so many people in a huge group pre show and during the show - that Barclays pit on each side only holds 4-5 rows of folks so it's super easy to bring a big group and take up the entire space from the front row to the back row. First thing about the show is the middle of the 360 stage in the pit suffers from the sound pretty badly - you can't hear the Lying From You intro, etc. It bothered me Emily was playing to the other side of the show the entire first hour... you don't really know what's going to happen until they set up right before they come on. After What I've Done I moved to the corner and the sound was 50 times louder and the mix was incredible. The PA stacks are on the corners and it was a remarkable difference, and you can also see both sides of the stage aka see Mike on Overflow, etc. I don't think I like middle of 360 since half the band isn't facing you literally the entire show. Anyway - standard set with Casualty and Over Each Other but wow after Numb that feedback intro had me like "hmmm" and BAM From the Inside. That's the "deep cut" (lol) that all of us want in the show and boy it delivered. So glad I moved because it was incredibly loud and a total jam... I was going crazy on the floor. The girls next to me had never heard of it and then went nuts on Heavy Is The Crown next so that's the type of world we are in now LOL (aka I feel old). They fucking crushed From the Inside. Damn. Joe Hahn was going nuts and Emily skipped the second to last scream to power up for the final scream. They absolutely NAIL that song with this lineup and it's gotta be played more. A++. Crown next was great and Bleed It Out was good to close the main set. Mike totally threw us off on Notorious Thugs because it also starts "armed and dangerous" like There They Go (a note for the song page 20 year later lol). The whole structure of the end with Faint finally back closing a main USA show for the first time since 2011 rules. Papercut sent the place off, the crowd was going crazy. Love the Papercut, In The End, and Faint run. Let's keep that going. Fun tour kickoff!
  11. From the Inside is a need.
  12. Looking forward to the show. Brooklyn in the fall was fun. An interesting note is that the venue is significantly smaller floor-space-wise (lol) than many big arenas. LP had to really condense the 360 stage from the Inglewood Forum show to fit into Barclays. So, they won't have the "wings" (the side runways) on them tomorrow like the Forum had. A little concerned about song variety in the opening shows if they didn't do extensive rehearsing for this tour. But they have all tour to work in more tracks, but it looks like no normal full band rehearsals for this leg. Interesting. But then again, they threw in Good Things Go and Overflow and Lost in Mexico City without having Alex for rehearsals, lol. Always good to incorporate some northeast shows on a tour trip - enjoyed the 2012 and 2014 runs up there, and had 2015 booked... we know what happened to 2015 and 2017. Looking forward to these with Boston and for once they are inside with it being 100+ degrees outdoors. Mansfield, Holmdel, and Wantagh are just not fun to get to, not close to the city, and not great venues. These indoor venues should be considerably better.
  13. Linkin Park's 2025 From Zero World Tour continues through Germany, France, Italy, and Netherlands. The band meets fans for Linkin Pizza in Milan and Phoenix shows off his rock, paper, scissors skills.
  14. LP has recorded every show in audio since mid-2007 and every show in video since 2010. That isn't indicative of any release. They just have enough to capture the show themselves (plus what festivals film, they take that footage too that is used on the screens - like what Pinkpop just put out too for example). If they film something for a YouTube release in the From Zero era, it requires a lot of extra work before the show to capture that song the way they want. To our knowledge, the only shows professionally filmed by the band on this From Zero touring cycle have been the Sao Paulo shows. Nothing in Europe was recorded to the point of like, Brazil or Milton Keynes 2008 or anything. Maybe a song or two from Europe makes their way to YouTube but they definitely didn't film anything professionally with the intent of a release from Europe. And that's a shame since the venues were so iconic, but they must have plans for something to release. It doesn't seem Brazil is happening if it's been 8+ months and we've heard nothing.
  15. Thank you - looks like a bug. We'll get on it!
