One thing is for sure - judging by the reactions to this on social media and the forums, people love seeing stuff like this. They need something where they can release older shows slowly throughout the years. One or two shows per year.

When you speculate about the origins of Easier To Run, have you thought about the origin of From The Inside from the LPU tour? Several times I compared the Hamburg 2003.02.27 audience record with the official LPU tour record and there are different:
- beginning of Phase 1 - Brad plays guitar for a while instead of keyboard melody
- in bridge Chester's scream sounds different than LPU record
- at the end of the bridge at the words "I won't trust myself with you" Chester's voice intonation sounds like it should end the song

So both recordings are not identical.

PS: I apologize for my poor English and ignorance of musical terms.

Going back through these live versions since 2007 is giving us such trouble. @martinez in 2019 when the digital streaming was updated temporarily with the track locations, did From the Inside ever say Hamburg? Because it is not from Hamburg 2003.

BTH in the rain for the debut is pretty iconic for the fanbase. New setlist, proshot Nobody's Listening, all that rare stuff... new intros etc... I mean the Meteora era is held in such high regard in the fanbase that literally any proshot from that era will send fans into a frenzy. Imagine if out of nowhere Manila 2004 came out. People would be losing their minds lol. To compare, Camden 2004 sent the fanbase into chaos - in a good way. It doesn't have to be a good performance or even the best setlist - people just LOVE that era of the band so much that they could whiff on half the songs in the set and everyone would still love it.

Look at Mountain View 2004. Chester was out of his mind on whatever substances that show, they fuck Wish up and have to completely restart it, A.06 goes off the rails, etc... and people think it's the greatest shit ever. It's just a product of being from 2003-04.

It finally is where it should belong, with the fans

Love that quote. At the end of the day, label teams, band teams, etc change over time. What stays consistent is the fans. Where content really belongs is with fans.

Looks like we indeed got it wrong in 2007. We lacked the context we have now.

I think the audio is completely raw, they should have/would have recorded multitracks for the audio along with the video but they have never mentioned the audio. This is probably a direct rip from the board. If anyone were to really release this they'd definitely mix it properly and edit it, probably fixing some stuff like the SIB guitar, levels, etc, but not Chester on Don't Stay haha.

Yes, he was far from sober on the Meteora tour.

Still looking for one of these if anyone has one.

Without having much context to this entire situation, something tells me this isn't the last we will see from this show. We have all of the major highlights and today actually caused us to edit 6 show pages (Smoke Out + UK November) and 2 wiki pages for Nobody's Listening and It's Goin' Down. lol

Nobody's Listening cuts off right when it starts to get good! 

Think that was close to the end of the song, the last chorus, right?

Yeah their story is very weird. They recently claimed they never had the masters. Well what did they use to create and upload the video files in 2009 with? lol. Surely the full show exists somewhere in their possession. Would love to see the rest.

There is a lot going on here. Never knew the instrumental under Standing In The Middle (My Name at this show) wasn't sampled. Rob, Brad, and Phoenix are playing it. Is it this song by The Roots?

If you are familiar with Linkin Park's 2003 touring, you'll know that the Smoke Out 2003 show is pretty iconic. In between the tour of Australia and Asia where the band played the longest setlists they had ever performed to that point, adding in Nobody's Listening and My December, and the UK November Tour, they played a one-off show in San Bernardino at their friends' Cypress Hill's Smoke Out Festival. The band was in full creative mode at this time, debuting a brand new setlist with Papercut opening, keeping Nobody's Listening in as a staple song, and debuting the epic Breaking the Habit. Oh, and don't forget It's Goin' Down being played for the first time on the Meteora cycle... a song that would stay in for the rest of 2003 and all of 2004.

Back in 2009, Fremont Studios was kind enough to the Linkin Park community to put three videos online - Papercut with its new, long intro (which ended up being played just five times), Points of Authority, and the live debut of Breaking the Habit in the pouring rain.

Fast-forward to present day as Fremont Studios is on the hunt for the full show in their archives. They have apparently lost the full show, but have salvaged a broken DVD with thirty minutes of footage they have posted on YouTube. In this footage, we get even more of the show.

Along with the full Papercut intro (the previous version was slightly cut), we get Points of Authority, Don't Stay, Somewhere I Belong, It's Goin' Down, Lying From You, most of Nobody's Listening, and all of Breaking the Habit. This is a sizable chunk of the show. However, there are some really some good highlights here. We see a setlist photo in the first few moments of the video which confirms the set we had was correct, but the footage shows we had some show notes incorrect.

It's Goin' Down, performed for the first time since 2002, had its acapella intro, but the surprise is that Xzibit is actually on Nobody's Listening and the band performs part of a unique instrumental with him rapping over it. Earlier in 2003, Xzibit joined the band for Projekt Revolution 2003 and My Name was rapped over Nobody's Listening but without the new instrumental that the band kept for when Mike later rapped 'Standing In The Middle' over it. This is a very unique mashup and we are glad to have a recording of it!

Enjoy this newly surfaced footage from 20 years ago!

It would be nice to see some other songs played in these sessions besides Already Over, but the point is the Already Over Sessions.

What could solve this is... some...live...concerts....

The only possibilities here are the label replaced files later, or the community got this wrong in 2007. I guess it's possible we got it wrong. We need to take a look.

I wanted to bring this thread back as we are working on updating some site updates, I unlocked the thread so people can reply if they have questions/comments about something.

https://lplive.net/shows/2007/20070519/ Added that Runaway was on the printed setlist for this show and dropped.

https://lplive.net/shows/2007/200703xx-7 Unfortunately we have to add yet another page for the Third Encore 2007 stuff. No More Sorrow on the promo CD, which we thought matched another performance, is actually unique and matches nothing else. Crazy.
https://lplive.net/shows/fortminor/20060812f/

https://lplive.net/shows/fortminor/20060813f/ Had to update the Fort Minor Summer Sonic setlists from the Japanese setlistfm-style website source. A lot is still unconfirmed but we have double the amount of songs than we had previously. 
 

There are Fort Minor setlist updates that need to be made - we want to pull the Black Violin Solo and Beatdown Solo out of the song notes and into the setlists themselves.

Need to add the Joe Hahn Vegas show too.

It looks like what is happening is the label is actually messing up what was originally released and is replacing those with wrong versions. The original release on that WID was AOL Sessions. It is clearly not AOL Sessions anymore. Too hesitant to change anything or update anything, really. All we know is the No More Sorrow on the promo CD is unique, so we added an 8th (sigh) page for that. It's all a headache. Maybe with MTM20 we can get some clarity.

At least a few were recorded on March 14. The rest were probably within a week of that.

Episode 3 is out and features another Linkin Park song!

I am not sure we can trust the tracklist descriptions from the label if they are updated this far past the release date, can we? Do you think they are accurate? For example, they recorded more than one performance on March 14, 2007. The AOL Sessions setlist says like "set 1" or something. Does the Japan What I've Done match AOL Sessions What I've Done exactly?

No More Sorrow on the SOTD CD is the same as the Third Encore Performance (MTM bonus videos) - they match exactly. So, that performance may have been recorded on March 14 too if that is an accurate date.

No More Sorrow on the promo CD matches no other No More Sorrow. It isn't from Stripped. So, it needs a show page.

BestBuy bonus tracks:

 

We don't know in what format those tracks originally were available. Maybe it was WAV, maybe WMA or maybe the most popular format in which of other albums were available on the same site - MP3.

 

I contacted with the corporation, who was receiving the files directly from the record labels. Without any results.

 

 

If this info will turning to be true if those track's times turning to be true, it would mean that two tracks from the digital version of MTM (What I've Done, Given Up) are different versions, from the different show and that No More Sorrow is the only one from that edition that's the same like the one from the BestBuy bonus downloadable tracks. Then it would also mean that I have right that What I've Done (Live) from the digital version of MTM is from the "AT&T Blue Room Performance".

 

 

I want to bump this.

Where are we with the MTM tracks from Third Encore 2007? Is the What I've Done live from iTunes really from AT&T Blue Room and not the Third Encore Performance?

Do we still have a question on No More Sorrow?

Are there any other outstanding questions we have on these tracks? I am trying to clean up the 2007 pages for those.

Really enjoyed this premiere! Great work by all involved - some amazing remixes!

Hi everyone!

You may have noticed some changes with Linkinpedia. To start, it has been a very long time since we updated the Linkinpedia database. We are going through some much-needed updating right now as we gear up for 2024 and beyond. We are fortunate to have @Rasputin 93 from the amazing RammWiki on the team to help lead and guide us through our next steps with the wiki.

You may have observed URLs not working for a few days - we will be using new links going into the future. This is a minor inconvenience for all of the new capabilities and features we'll have access to in order to grow the wiki. For now, please access the site at Linkinpedia.com and browse & search from there. The new URLs will be cached online soon enough and we'll grow into using the new (shorter) link format. We have redirected all of the old URLs to the new pages.

When we started Linkinpedia in 2015, we honestly did not think it would be going strong over eight and a half years later. It was a risk - a big one - but we are very happy with where we are now. We are appreciative to everyone for being with us through the ups and downs since we created not just the wiki, but LPLive itself as well. We fully intend to keep both LPLive and Linkinpedia going forever and to cover all of the upcoming projects, releases, news, and shows from all of the acts. We are looking forward to the future of both sites.

Thanks for your understanding! 

My next question is about the rap verse he did on a stream in.... 2020 I think? Did that unreleased rap verse ever make it into a song? I think was the day he made The Brooklyn Way.

Wow I just realized the Four Track Tape is the jam I requested. The 3.1 Freestyle. That is awesome.

That's great. It's a shame the Petrified LA remix wasn't on the vinyl release but at least it's coming to streaming.

Love Be Somebody, There They Go, and The Hard Way. Nice move!

This is like Dropped Frames 4. Nice to get more of the jams since he made so many.

I think he really missed an opportunity to do a fourth great release at the time with One Hundredth Stream, Pool Party, Brooklyn Way, Gospel Choir, KarmaKon, Stinky Machine, etc - all those really strong ones he never got around to releasing. Did A Thousand Jams or Submarine ever come out? 

It is good Brooklyn Way is on here. Is this a way for him to get more of the jams out? Would love to see some of those other early ones mentioned above get out. I have a playlist of rips of them in iTunes to jam them but at least One Hundredth Stream should get a release.
