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!

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!

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

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!

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!

From the Inside is a need.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you - looks like a bug. We'll get on it!

At the Paris pop-up store event La Boutique Linkin Park on July 10-12, 2025, we noticed an interesting Linkin Park remix being played amongst a big LP playlist. At the pop-up events, the playlists are loaded with career-spanning tracks from Linkin Park's discography. We tracked the remix down, along with a few others, and have them available for download for those that are interested. These are all mashups of some of Linkin Park's biggest hits mixed with songs by iconic electronic music artists. The Emptiness Machine x Are My Friends Electric (SR Remix) Mashup w/ "Are 'Friends' Electric?" by Tubeway Army/Gary Numan Numb x Clear (SR Remix) Mashup w/ "Clear" by Cybotron In The End x Tangerine Dream (SR Remix) Mashup w/ "Love On A Real Train" by Tangerine Dream Crawling x Robots (SR Remix) Mashup w/ "The Robots" by Kraftwerk Download (MP3 320kbps): MEGA | MediaFire Enjoy!

All of that is very appropriate.

Don't really feel that way. Mike bouncing back was good to see, and the shows were amazing. The setlists having so many deep cuts and changing so much were a total blast to follow. Well in his shoes if every single press interview wants to ask you 100 questions about Chester and the whole world is assuming songs you write are about him, but they aren't, you wouldn't feel slightly defensive about it? That's what Looking For An Answer is, from the Hollywood Bowl. And they originally intended to finish and release it, but it just didn't happen.

Summer Sonic 2006 may be the most wanted thing currently in terms of live footage for the band. Not sure if there is something bigger on the list. If they do an MTM 20 box set, that one needs to be on it.

We have definitely shared with the LP team many times that the demand for live shows is very big with the fans and that we fully support and advocate strongly for as many live releases as they can do. Of course it's a balancing act with the label, upcoming releases, highlighting past releases, etc, but Mike said he would want to do ATS 20... which gives us faith they will continue the box sets.

The Guardian has posted a new interview with Linkin Park, featuring commentary from Mike and Emily. The article is a bit messy with factual information at times, but there are a few highlights: -Mike, on the current success: "This tour and this album are one of our most successful of all time. That, for me, is insane. That is way beyond my hopes and dreams for what this whole thing could be.” -Emily on fans singing songs like Crawling during the shows: "There’s so many fans that have been wanting to see Linkin Park for so long, you know? So I look at it as: this is your moment to sing. And you sing it better than I do at this point!" -On the Post Traumatic era: Shinoda partly “wanted to make Post Traumatic as a diary of how I felt for myself”, but also had the urge to play live “to provide an area for fans to commune and go: ‘Oh, Mike is still here. We didn’t lose everybody.’” The Post Traumatic tour was cathartic “in the beginning”, he says. “And then towards the end it was exhausting. I had started to … I don’t want to say move on. ‘Move on’ to some people means not looking back and forgetting – that’s completely not how I felt. I felt like I was coping well and I was able to get up in the morning and not think about it, and I was evolving from the terrible stuff that had happened. Then I would go to the show and spend 90 minutes with half the crowd crying. And I’m like, this is fucking exhausting. You know how therapists see patients all day and help them, but then they need therapy themselves? That’s how I felt.” -On "Let You Fade": Many interpreted Let You Fade, a bonus track on From Zero’s deluxe edition, as a tribute to the singer, but “it wasn’t written that way,” says Shinoda. “People even pulled out the fact that there’s numbers in the song [that align with] Chester’s birthday. I was like: whoops. That’s not intentional.” -On "One More Light" being played live: Mike: "I think we all wanted our show to be really good vibes. I want you walking away feeling like, this was such a wonderful, special, fun night.” Inevitably, this means certain songs are off the setlist. There are a couple that Shinoda would “feel weird playing”, including One More Light, the title track of the band’s last album with Bennington. It was originally written “for a woman at the label that we worked with who passed away. Then after Chester passed, the world decided that it was about him. And so that’s just too sad to play.”

This is simply great. There is such a demand for this type of stuff with the LP fans which is why the box sets have done so great. Could watch performances like this over and over again from any part of LP's career. Grateful Pinkpop released this. Some rare stuff in this proshot. It happens where not every song was recorded, this was still 2007 and even bands themselves were not quite to the point where they were archiving every show they played in full yet either. But it's right before that started happening across the board. Chester is rocking here, and celebrating that is what is important. Always a great performer. Badass show.

That massively sped up Crawling has to be one of the worst-sounding things they have ever done live. The 2014 setlists were a total mess with the shortened DJ-style songs. Goodness. Why in the world would you speed the song up that much?

Version 2 https://mailchi.mp/lplive/lplive-messenger-issue-2-july-2025 More coming!

Wow, thought Moscow Intro was cool on Cut the Bridge in London as a plot twist. Both the intro and the CTB intro are clap-worthy moments for the crowd so it worked to me.

Looks like a good day for From the Inside!

Well they have to rotate the songs around, surely they play Good Things Go or Over Each Other tonight haha

These videos are absolutely ridiculously good. Fantastic sound and video angles. Damn. The band is sounding very good right now.
