THIS FUCKING POST. You are awesome. I agree, I'd love to hear more from the MTM sessions. MTM is by far my favorite LP album and there are so many awesome songs that we haven't heard yet, I guarantee it.
This 150%. Pretend to Be has turned out to be one of my favourite LP songs ever. Even if it was released after MTM, it still holds that same crisp sound that the rest of the album maintained. I love the rest of the B-sides from MTM as well, which only fuels my desire to hear more from this time period.
And about those super heavy songs... If it's even close to the level of epicness in Across the Line's bridge, then consider me foaming at the mouth. Not too mention No More Sorrow is my favourite heavy song the band has made. More of that sounds A-OK.

As much as I want a decent amount of heavy guitar in the next album, I trust Linkin Park will do what's best regardless.

Everything Jats said is pretty much dead-on. By no means are Chester's current screams "weak", but they've certainly changed. I much preferred when he'd scream "Thieves and hypocrites!" in the No More Sorrow bridge compared to the chant he does now. Brings the whole song a notch lower IMO when it should be at its highest energy.
The getting older and more conserved theory is obvious. Just compare any of Faint's extended outros from 2010-2011 to a 2007 performance. Back then he went absolutely ballistic during the entire outro, where as we're now lucky to get two screams. Disappointing considering Faint was my favourite song live because of the epic, demonic performance by Chester.
Of course, this isn't even looking further back to his 2004 and earlier days, where his signature rasp seemed to always be present in any song, and automatically give the song more "umph". As the years go by I've found his rasp to disappear more and more, at least from the live shows.
However, if there's one song that has remained on the same level of quality for the last 10 years, it's definitely Papercut. Always a blast.

Numb/Encore forsure

My top choice would have to be Mountain View 2004. Chester's screams have never sounded better than at that concert. Just un-humanlike. Too bad the audio that we have isn't the greatest quality.
Based on songs, I'd have to say Auburn 2007 for Faint alone is legendary. RaR 2007 is a close 2nd.
London '08 has A Place for My Head and that insanely epic scream before the bridge. Not to mention Brad's chilling intro to the song.
And of course, there's always Summer Sonic 06's godly renditions of QWERTY. Mmm mmm good.

POA Instrumental was pretty ironic. BITS acoustic leaves me foaming at the mouth at the possibilities (that LP will sadly most likely not pursue)

It's actually surprising the small amount of Linkin Park covers that are out there from legitimate bands. I suppose it only reinforces the "LP's genre can only be described as: Linkin Park" argument. Perhaps nobody feels they can do the songs justice.
-
In the End. The other songs are just far too beast sounding at this show.
-
No More Sorrow. My absolute favourite heavy song from Linkin Park. That e-bow still gives me chills to this day when I play the song at max. I wish that they would have implemented the brilliantly epic extended intro from their live shows in the studio version, but I suppose that's what sets the live version apart and makes it so much more awesome.
Of all the concerts I have watched on Youtube/DSP's/Torrents etc, I have NEVER heard a less than solid performance of this song. That is something I literally cannot say about any other song from the band.

And something completely out of left field... In The End!!!

21. No More Sorrow (Extended Intro/Riot Bridge)
22. Blackout
23. Across the Line
24. Figure.09 (Blood, Anger, Suffering Outro, Transitions into...)
25. Faint (Extended Outro)
The idea is to start off pretty heavy and hard, then slow down into a mini acoustic set, and bring it back up even higher towards the end. Sure there's a few wishful thoughts in there, but it's really nothing the band shouldn't be able to do in their current set-lists.
Oh yeah, and don't try to deny that this encore wouldn't be the most epic 20 minutes of your life.

The perfect setlist. PERIOD.
I wouldn't say "perfect", but it is pretty solid. IMO switching Waiting for the End's position with something more exhilarating like Blackout would be a better fit for the last few songs of the main set. No More Sorrow also needs to keep the extended intro. Awesome set otherwise, especially Across the Line.

Explain?
I seem to remember the first few performances of it were kind of weak. Everyone and their dog on here were complaining about Chester being off-pitch every time he sang it. Glad to see it has evolved into something much better.
-
New Divide has come a LOOOONG way since it's rather awkward live debut. It's definitely now one of the band's most solid live songs. Not to mention the new intro kicks ass. Even What I've Done sounded amazing. Too bad the Iridescent Remix is just plain blah.
-
but dont replace that for VDay lol better put in some old school shit instead if NMS should be replaced..
I agree. NMS has always been one of the highlights of LP's shows IMO. The extended intro still gives me chills to this day, 4 years later. It's just a song thats meant to be played live. If it was ever to be replaced, there would have to be a damn epic song to take it's place.

Montreal 2008. Best performance of Given Up. Ever. The crowd goes wild when he holds the scream for the entire 17 seconds.
