ME!

I'm sure he will perform. I would love to see him perform a LIVING THINGS track acoustically like POWERLESS however I'm not sure how likely that is. What work has he actually done directly with MusiCares? Has he ever dealt with addicts directly or is it more of a 'support though music' award? Regardless, well done to him.

I chose A Thousand Suns. It is the album that was made to be played start to finish so it makes sense for the band to play it from start to finish. Like SomedudeRemix said, they would need to go all out for it. No altering the album by throwing in Bob Marley or an UNTIL IT BREAKS verse, just the album in it's entirety. It would be amazing to throw in the lasers like they did at the laser light show, alongside some visuals like at A Thousand Horizons. Obviously unlikely, but it would be pure amazement.

Well ... His name is Maurice (?) - pronounced Mau-reece. He's pretty darn funny.

What defines the Minutes to Midnight 'Special Edition'? Is it just the digi-pak case?

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Also, I believe the answer to your question is Jess. Jessica Sklar was filming us alongside Adam.

As this thread already exists, I will add my own review to it. 21.02.13 I didn't really get much sleep. I was staying in a cheap hostel and the room I was staying in was filled with eight people. The heat was intense. The noise from the streets was not subtle either. I decided it was time to get up as I couldn't stand being in that room for any longer. I jumped on Facebook on my phone and got in contact with some LPU members to ask what they were up to for breakfast. We decided on a McDonalds near the venue. After getting a little lost, I made it. There was a Linkin Park marathon on the television as we were eating which was fitting. We all talked about what items we would get signed and the Music For Relief event the previous day (which I could not attend, unfortunately). After some cheap food and chatter, we headed across to the venue. We waited in line alongside about 200 other LPU members, eager for the Summit to begin. Thankfully, it wasn't long until I saw a familiar face poking his head outside to update on what was happening. It was Adam. He had us all enter in line, presenting our passes, obtaining our lanyards and making the decision between an on stage or a back stage tour. Most people had chosen back stage which spurred the decision to take the on stage tour. I am also a musician myself so I knew the opportunity would be priceless. We all spent the next few hours getting to know each other, bidding on Linkin Park auction items, buying raffle tickets, checking out the exclusive Summit tee shirts and waiting about. Lunch was provided and we soon begun a Q&A with the crew. Many substandard questions were asked and a few comical answers were given alongside a small insight into the backstage life for a tour crew member. We were then divided into our back stage / on stage groups and taken on our respective tours. I was among the first few to take the stage. This gave me a chance to sit behind Rob's drum kit and admire the view across the stadium. I could only imagine what it must feel like to play to that stadium while filled. I also had a look around at Joe's turntables, Phoenix's bass, Mike's keyboards and Brad's trigger pads. After this, I had a chat to a touring security member who was really lovely. He seemed tough but ready for conversation when sparked. We waited around for a while more until Linkin Park themselves took to the stage. They performed a brief but solid five song set including VICTIMIZED / QWERTY, Points of Authority, New Divide, LOST IN THE ECHO and CASTLE OF GLASS. Unfortunately, the crowd was standing still and quiet while holding on to their respective iPhones, iPods, Cameras etc. The energy from Chester was fantastic, the energy from Mike was unemphatic but this was because the energy from the audience was lame. After this set, Chester was presented with a plaque from Warner Bros. Records NZ signifying LIVING THINGS reaching gold album sales in New Zealand. Brad went on to re-present it to Chester as a joke. The band offered a Q&A time to the audience who remained relatively quiet apart from a few standard questions and a question regarding the supposed 'break-up' the band went through in 2005. The band laughed and dismissed this as a joke. Another question involved asking about how Michael Bay managed to involve Linkin Park in the Transformers trilogy. Chester & Joe went on to re-enact a phone conversation where Joe was Michael Bay and Chester was 'Linkin Park'. It was hilarious. It wasn't long before Adam had each person line the arena in order to organize a signing. The band took individual photos with raffle winners and highest bidders before signing each person's chosen item. Brad and Joe race around the arena while Chester, Mike, Rob and Phoenix took their time to sign each person's item. I chose to get my LIVING THINGS vinyl signed. Unfortunately, Chester and Rob happened to reach me at the same time so they were too busy talking to each other to really notice the people around them. Phoenix was lovely and had a chat with me about earthquakes (which is something we shared in common). After this, we were given entry to tickets to re-enter the arena once Stone Stour had soundchecked. My friend James and I used this time to sprint down to Subway, grab a foot long sub and a drink and then run back. We were refused re-entry until we had eaten our food. Never in my life have I consumed a foot long sub so quickly. We entered the arena in time to be allowed early entrance against the barrier. I was standing where Phoenix would later be standing above me. Stone Sour were still soundchecking but that was nice. People begun to rush the arena as general admission gates opened and the stadium packed out. I talked to some lovely people and found some old friends. Stone Sour began to play. I had only ever heard 'Through Glass' and 'Absolute Zero' before but the set had me thrilled. Corey Taylor was a stunning frontman, pulling the audience in and riling up a crowd. He was very enthusiastic. I was keen on the music and thoroughly enjoyed their set. Soon enough, the lights lay low and the eerie noise from TINFOIL began to play. Faint quickly followed and the audience went crazy. Mark Fiore had the camera in my face for a verse or so which I quite enjoyed as I had a chat to him earlier. Phoenix flicked a pick at Mark's head and laughed so Mark handed the pick on to me. As the night went on, the party continued until the LOATR / SOTD / Iridescent medley. The arena was filled with lights, not from the stage but from lighters and cellphones and cameras. It was magic. For any person who has been to a Linkin Park concert, I am sure you know and understand the rest. I did, however, receive personal acknowledgement from Phoenix a few times throughout the night. Mike, while rapping the verse from UNTIL IT BREAKS, visited our stage side and saw that I knew the words so he looked at me as we rapped the words at each other. Brad waves to me at some point while he was near the stage back and smiled. Chester also pointed at me, nodded, and mouthed thank you before the encore. This was my Linkin Park experience. The end.

Surprisingly, they actually have won a Grammy. They won it in 2006 for Best New Artist.And they're "currently touring worldwide" as they're about to come to New Zealand & Australia so that's gotta be a worldwide tour, right? However, I'm not 100% sure that the latest clue fits with them. Clue #1 stated that the band is "currently touring worldwide". Linkin Park's touring ended on the March 4th. If Linkin Park are still in the running then so are Red Hot Chili Peppers as their touring ended on March 9th and their first show was at Rhythm Lounge in Hollywood. They are Grammy Award winners and they met in high school.

This. Another idea would be Fall Out Boy as they have just reunited or whatever and they have done the HCT tour a long time ago.

I think the photos are stock photos from HCTs past. The band fun. is a possibility. Although they didn't form in high school, they may have met in high school. And as somebody else has said, The Black Keys also fit this criteria. Somebody also mentioned Red Hot Chili Peppers. Personally, I don't believe that Linkin Park will be back for the HCT. EDIT: If it was fun, that would explain "The trip to LA for you and a guest will include air, hotel and fun!"

I'm glad that this was uploaded as an LPTV episode rather than to Music For Relief. Linkin Park, and Mike especially, are trying to promote MFR and their current focus and cause. Uploading this video to Music For Relief alone would have seen minimal exposure and this is only further proved by If this wasn't an LPTV episode, it would not have made it to the LPLive newswire, therefore promoting it further. Also, SRS is not officially affiliated with Music For Relief. It is a private project between Mike & Andrew. I think it's awesome that Mike was able to actually go to Haiti and see the impact of SRS on the people. Hearing that they are in the top ten employers in Haiti is fantastic, too. What an incredible effort from Mike, Andrew & SRS.

Ever since the fan survey, I have been wondering how long until we hear more information on Linkin Park: Recharge. I wish I could get a Beta code because I am really interested in this. It looks really good. In regards to whether it will be available on any other platform other than Facebook, I don't believe that it will. The whole idea was to interact socially via Facebook to raise awareness about current issues in the world and Music For Relief. This sounds really ambient. I can't wait to hear more.

This tour saw Linkin Park come to NZ for the first time since Minutes to Midnight so I was very happy to attend my first show. As it was my first show, the setlist didn't matter at all because they would all be my first experience. I have no reason to complain about the tour. I am looking forward to seeing what Joe Hahn has done with 'Mall' and hearing the soundtrack and score for it. I also cannot wait to see what LPLive has up their sleeve in terms of exclusives (:

Jonathan Davis' instrumentation on this track compliments Chester's voice so well. I have always considered this to be one of Chester's best performances.

Awh man. I was honestly looking forward to getting the DSP for the NZ show

I don't see a reason to complain. This is the first setlist that NZ has seen since Minutes to Midnight so the setlist, although used throughout 2012, was a perfect fit for NZ. Linkin Park aren't performing setlists for the people who are sitting at home & researching setlists, they're performing it for the audience who haven't seen them since 2007. P.S. Mark, do you need photos of the setlist, tickets or summit pass?

Set B opens with APFMH and closes with a medley of LFY, Papercut and one other which I can't remember. It was sitting on Joe's decks at the Summit. Stone Sour were fucking awesome. Chester was praising them when Linkin Park came on stage.

Well then, congratulations Damian for losing your post virginity. And I shall keep you updated This haha. 5" is ridiculous. You either get vinyl in 7" (or 45rpm) or 13" (33 1/3 rpm).

- Wretches & Kings - P5HNG ME A*WY - It's Goin' Down - Reading My Eyes I don't want to add rare songs to the setlist just so they're not rare anymore. I genuinely believe these songs would be so much fun to hear live.

Welcome to LPLive Damian. I hope you enjoy your time here. As for the scans, I will do them when the CD single arrives however I'm sure somebody will beat me to it as I still have a while to wait before my disc arrives.

Was thinking the same thing. It's obviously just Warner trying to squeeze a last few sales out of LT. I would have preferred rare lives or a few remixes or something to lives that were already circulating in mediocre quality. Would you like me to sort you out with a copy or something? Mail me if you want.

The Australian Tour Edition for LIVING THINGS has now seen it's release. What are your thoughts / opinions? Personally, I thought that it would be released in as a digipak but unfortunately it is the same packaging as LIVING THINGS with an extra disc added and the added tracklist on the back. EDIT: The tracklist mentions that New Divide is track one and In The End is track two however it is the other way around. Also the mixing for the two Rock im Ring live tracks is not great.

I heard Numb / Encore at a club in the weekend. The first thing I thought about was this thread haha.
