Almost a year later and they haven't released it.... Wish they'd get a release date out/finish the album and then TOUR!

I like the studio versions of Someday Soon and Maestro much more than the remixes. http://lplive.net/shows/db/julienk1415/20140628 Added the show page. In general, the band sounds really great. Ryan of course isn't 100%, more like 90%~ here, but hey it's the first show since last August. For not playing in that long, they sure didn't miss a beat (or 10 months LOL). I hope they can do a USA tour for this new album they're working on - it's beyond due. This show was also long overdue for the Death To Analog songs since they ignored most all of them during the We're Here With You Tour. In particular I am a huge fan of Maestro and Forever returning - my two favorite DTA songs. Both songs were nailed. The stage is a bit small for them all to rock out on, but I guess they don't require a big stage anymore like they had at SSMF 2013 (where they had way too much room, ha). I can honestly say Brandon sounds GREAT and is what they have been missing from the live shows. His voice is flawless for their shows and he really adds a signature sound to the show (see: Spiral). I am praying that they can bring him back into the band and put whatever creative differences they have with him aside. The highlight of the whole show to me was Killing Fields. Live debut for that one as well and it's been a long time coming. Absolutely nailed it and wow what an underrated song that is. It doesn't get any better for an "epic" song to close the show with either. My favorite song off from the band period, and with Brandon on it....damn! Then Ryan sings the ending perfectly by hopping up there with the meghaphone! FLAWLESS. If there is anything for the band to take from this show: 1. Get Brandon back in the band ASAP 2. Tour ASAP 3. Close the fucking shows with Killing Fields Very impressed with what I hear here.

There was waaaaaaay more to it than what Elias said publicly. Lots of other stuff. Up to Wilderness if he wishes to say anything or not...I don't want to get into the private lives of the band.

My favorite song by them is Killing Fields (top 3 on DTA are Maestro, Forever and Stranded), so I hope they debut it tonight. If there is any chance to play Killing Fields, tonight is it. Brandon will nail those backing vocals. I wish they'd just get Brandon back in the band and start touring. I'd go see a bunch of the USA shows but the problem is they haven't toured here since 2009! Let's get it together guys and get something going....

Usually we don't do preshow posts for Julien-K as you all know, but tonight marks a very special evening in the band's career. They are performing their debut album Death To Analog in full at Bar Sinister in Los Angeles. Joining them will be Brandon Belsky, who left the band several years ago and will be playing a one-off performance with them tonight. Chester was the executive producer of Death To Analog and has joined the band often live to perform various songs (usually Technical Difficulties but sometimes Maestro, Kick The Bass and others). One time on Projekt Revolution 2007, Ryan had to attend his brother's wedding so Chester stepped in and sang the entire Julien-K set! Chester is in the Kick The Bass video that premiered on playboy.com, he's best friends with them, etc etc etc (the story goes on forever) and we fully expect him to join the band tonight in some regard. He likely will lend his vocals to Technical Difficulties again, but we will see what ends up happening! Ryan has been running a little contest on his Facebook and Instagram for fans to guess the exact setlist of the show, but it appears that no one has guessed it correctly. That means the setlist will be jumbled up slightly... here's what they have to choose from: Death To Analog Someday Soon Kick The Bass Technical Difficulties Systeme De Sexe Maestro Forever Spiral Nvr Say Nvr Dystopian Girl Look At U Stranded Disease Futura Dreamland Killing Fields Some of these songs have never been performed live, like Dystopian Girl, Stranded, Disease, Killing Fields, etc. Ryan mentioned that not every single song from the DTA era will be performed live (meaning Everyone Knows is pretty much out, and maybe a few of the songs in the list above). We will see what happens! This will be Julien-K's first show since August 2013, when they performed at V-ROX in Russia just after Sunset Strip Music Festival. We are missing a few 2012 setlists from the LA-area, but this appears to be Chester's first time joining Julien-K since January 21, 2012 when he sang I'll Try Not To Destroy You and Palm Springs Reset with the band. If we aren't mistaken, it looks like the last time he sang Death To Analog songs with them was all the way back in April 2009. Is anyone in Los Angeles headed out to see the show? We'll report on the setlist and post videos, etc as soon as they come in!

The last thing they should do is shorten the setlist... At the end of the day I'll still take all the ballads/singles in the set over LP playing 14 songs headlining or whatever.

The Catalyst/The Requiem > Guilty All The Same Lost In The Echo (Full) > War > Points Of Authority > One Step Closer > Blackout (Interlude) Papercut > With You (Full) Wastelands (Album Intro) Castle Of Glass Experience Final Masquerade Robot Boy (Interlude) Joe Solo Medley Waiting For The End (Apaches; Wall Of Noise) What I've Done Mike Solo Medley Numb (Numb/Encore Intro + Outro) Mark The Graves -HYBRID THEORY RARE SONG ROTATION- (By Myself, Forgotten, Pushing Me Away; 1 each in the 3 sets) In The End Bleed It Out ------------------------------------------- Until It's Gone (w/ intro) > Faint A Place For My Head A Line In The Sand Drop New Divide. Please. Drop it ASAP. Drop ALTNC. Drop BID. Rotate 1 rare HT song. Keep APFMH in there. Close with ALITS. They won't do Runaway in full since Chester hates it so With You full takes its place.

inb4 thread title misleads people to think "omg he wants the setlists to be shorter". No, that's not it. There are a few songs that need to be permanently dropped from Linkin Park's live show in my opinion to help save Chester's voice. The man is starting to struggle live (it does indeed show now) unfortunately but the band can certainly help him out by NOT playing..... Let me know what you think and add others if you think they are applicable. Crawling Mike even has said this summer that Crawling is the first song to leave the setlist in favor of new songs from The Hunting Party. Crawling was good, but it was performed at every show from 2001-mid 2012 and no one is exactly missing it. It gives Chester quite a few problems these days and that's not exactly a secret. New Divide I think this one holds the record of times that Chester's voice has cracked on one song live. This has happened all the way back since 2010 and the Canberra 2010 version on the DSP had to even be replaced! They worked many days and nights to get the live debut audio of this one sounding good enough for MTV World Stage in 2009....let's just drop New Divide. With Until It's Gone in the setlist (aka another Transformers song) I see no need for New Divide. It pisses me off personally when it breaks up heavy songs in the setlist, like A Place For My Head, Given Up, New Divide, etc...fuck that. It's not ballad/singalong time after Given Up, LP. The nail in the coffin for this song is the fact that Chester now sings "GAVE MAY RAISIN" on the chorus (completely changing how he used to sing it)....OUCH. Blackout We all love Blackout just like the next person but having Chester scream like crazy (or attempt to) on this song is just not worth the damage it will do to him. I sound like an overprotective soccer mom here and I'd kill to see Blackout live, but the interlude works for me. I saw the band rehearse this song literally 10x in a row in 2011 for the ATS North American Tour rehearsal and it seems like it's a very hard song to sing. Anything else, anyone? Given Up perhaps?

Two things: LOL @ Berlin 2012 about Powerless. I had no idea about that. Can you explain more about Runaway bridge? How is it supposed to be, etc?

LOOOOOL Waiting For The End is a damn anthem right now. Apaches hits like a bomb. From the bridge to end of the outro, LP is jamming. I hated WFTE more than ever in 2010 and 2011, but they really fixed the song starting in 2012. Chester rapping SO LOUD over Mike is now fixed (thank you Pooch). Drop everything else from ATS except When They Come For Me, which kicks major ass live. The songs don't translate super well in the set besides these two. I am on team "save Chester's voice" so let's not get Blackout or anything like that in there.

When They Come For Me

Before I go through and list what I love, like, dislike and hate about your review....how in the world can you say Living Things is better than Meteora? I know everyone has an opinion but damn. Don't Stay, Lying From You, From The Inside, etc shit all over Lost In The Echo's regurgitated "let's be like Hybrid Theory & Meteora again, BUT WITH ELECTRONICS! ROB TAKE A SEAT ON THIS ONE!" nonsense and stomp a hole straight through Living Things. But I will say Living Things is hands down the worst album in the band's catalogue and stands out as a huge sore thumb after hearing The Hunting Party. I can't express enough how disappointing that album is start-to-finish, especially after hearing an ATS-esque Primo on LPUXIII. I am still facepalming about that song becoming I'll Be Gone. The only song on the entire album that is GREAT to me is Powerless, and In My Remains can certainly be a middle-of-an-album song for an LP release, but that's it. You think Hit The Floor is bad? Listen to Burn It Down, Lies Greed Misery, Until It Breaks, Skin To Bone, and Roads Untraveled. Sure, there are portions that are great on the album like Mike's verse on Victimized, but even the guitar on that song sounds 100x better on A Line In The Sand (which I agree is the best song in their catalogue now). I'm beginning to think the reason why they ended up not playing so many of the Living Things songs live is because the band now understands how badly that album flat out fucking sucks. I will take your review and comment on it tomorrow.

Our goal with LPLive has always and will always be to provide fans with the most information that we can get our hands on that deals with Linkin Park's live shows throughout their career. Recently, a several year long project was completed to gather up some physical setlists from the band and add them to our gallery and live guide. These setlists include notes from Brad's long-time guitar tech Sean Paden, who worked with the band from 2003 to early 2014. The time range on them is from Projekt Revolution 2007 to June 2012. A very big thank you goes out to Jim Digby and Lorenzo Errico for finding, saving, and scanning these for us! Another thank you goes out to [AndOne] of LPLive staff for getting all of these sorted and added to the live guide. Some of these shows we did not have setlist pictures for and others we did not have full pictures of the setlist (like Nottingham 2008). The most interesting setlists come from the rehearsals that we have listed (and added show pages for). For the Living Things World Tour, the band started out with A Place For My Head opening the show....and then originally wanted A Place For My Head to also be in the bridge of Bleed It Out later in the show. Pretty cool! Other setlists divulge smaller things like Bucharest 2012 having Crawling dropped from the setlist before the show began instead of during the show by the band. The full list of shows: 2007.07.29 Mountain View 2008.01.21 Köln 2008.01.24 Nottingham 2008.01.25 Sheffield 2008.02.16 Detroit 2008.02.21 New York City 2008.07.18 Burgettstown 2008.07.19 Camden 2010.09.14 New York City 2010.10.20 Berlin 2011.02.08 Toronto 2011.02.25 Salt Lake City 2011.06.02 North Hollywood Rehearsal 2011.06.05 Mountain View 2011.06.12 Donington 2011.06.18 Leipzig 2011.06.19 Oberursel 2011.06.28 Arendal 2011.06.30 Werchter 2011.07.01 Arras 2011.09.06 Chek Lap Kok 2011.09.16 Osaka 2012.05.04 North Hollywood Rehearsal 2012.05.26 Lisboa 2012.05.30 Skive 2012.06.06 Bucharest 2012.06.08 Nickelsdorf 2012.06.12 Odesa 2012.06.14 St. Petersburg 2012.06.29 Los Angeles *Facebook gallery with all new setlists* Enjoy!

Why do you say that? 2012 had seats, but this year there is a pit. All pit tickets will be standing.

On June 21st, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America announced that they were partnering with Linkin Park for the upcoming Carnivores Tour. From lpforvets.com: "Linkin Park Partners With IAVA To Support Veterans Through Music, Community & Action Linkin Park has touched thousands of veterans through their music, and now the band will take their commitment to this community to the next level via a partnership with IAVA. We will create a dynamic video that showcases compelling, user-generated videos and photos submitted by veterans, which will be set to Linkin Park’s “Wastelands.” The video will be shown on the band’s upcoming US Carnivores tour, to help inspire action and drive fans to support IAVA and the new generation of dedicated, young leaders. Submit your photos and videos to: lpforvets@linkinpark.com Please do not attach video files. You may submit videos as YouTube links or via a download link (i.e.: dropbox, WeTransfer, etc). Please make sure YouTube videos are public or unlisted, not private." This is not the band's first time working with the military. All the way back with Projekt Revolution 2003, the band offered free concert tickets to local residents who were in the military that wanted to see Linkin Park perform live. Even the Facebook comments on the announcement include comments like "Linkin Park puts on a great show! I got to see them in El Paso, because LP gave free tickets to Active duty and their families!" It's no secret that many soldiers listen to Linkin Park while they are deployed. And we do all know about the great Castle Of Glass music video released in 2012, featuring a soldier breaking the news to a young boy about his father dying.

Watched the full show. Yeah the crowd rocked it and LP introduced themselves to that "crowd" and they were VERY receptive of the band. All the shit I have seen today has been SUPER positive. That whole scene of people are in awe and think it's amazing. Best comment I have seen yet: "do people realise what this means? The fact that linkin park (mainstream band) just released a heavy album, played warped, with all of these "stars" in our scene can open huge doors. like people outside of our scene might actually start giving a shit, I wouldn't mind hearing adtr or issues on the radio, obviously they won't play their heavy songs but they don't play lp's heavy stuff either way. I'm actually freaking right now, sick of hearing really boring generic soft alternative indie rock on the radio" Nate blows the fuck up on OSC, I really like his guest spot. Awesome song to open the show with - OSC always takes the cake and rocks the show. New Divide..."gave may raisin" is pretty annoying...just drop the song permanently since Until It's Gone takes a shit on it now and jams harder. Chester's voice cracks badly after the bridge, which Joe messes up. lol @ the Blackout samples. How did that even happen? Not hating on Joe but he really has been struggling at the Cali shows lately. I think New Divide needs to go. No need to play this thing anymore. I said the other day that I think Chester in 2014 still has a GREAT voice and he has been kicking ass live this year. I even think he's singing better in 2014 than he was from 2010-2013, but that's just my opinion (maybe someone disagrees). I do think that LP should give him adequate breaks. Even if they need to schedule shows so that there aren't two shows in a row (we know they don't do 3 in a row anymore) then that's completely fine. He isn't in A+ shape at Warped...more like B shape. You could hear his voice not being A+ halfway through the KROQ set (when he was going HARD for the first part of that set with the heavy jam songs he was GREAT then he sort of lost it a tiny bit after that when the slower stuff came around). Surprising at the messups here...OSC v1 right? GATS v2, GATS bridge. WID false start. I will say that WID with this legit MTM studio intro sounds 100000x better than the short ticking intro they have now....oh wait then they stop it and go into the weird intro from 2014, lmao. Oh well. On one listen I can't hear Jeremy at all on APFMH and either guest on GATS. I do love APFMH coming back and I hope that this one stays around all summer. Great job by Ryan on WID. BIO is alright. I like Faint a lot. Overall - great idea, genius to keep it secret until the last minute and this really got a lot of credibility for LP (not that they needed it) with that group of Warped fans. Love it! Wish they'd do more secret events like this

What's funny is that I'll take this crowd over any USA crowd I've seen for LP 2008-now. Honda Civic Tour had crowds that just stood there like STATUES, looking at Instagram and shit and not jamming at all during the show. All show long. The Warped people are going off. I like how all the anti-mainstream people are all like "fuck mainstream shit!" then LP comes and it's all "OH MAN LP NAILED IT, SUCH A TRUE HONOR TO BE HERE WITH THEM, THEY KICKED ASS, MIKE AND CHESTER ROCK!" etc etc etc. Epic.

Looks like different camera angles for Monterrey. This shit is insane. Epic quality, great mix, wow. LOVE it.

Yeah but LP just got a lot of credibility with that fanbase.

Coolest thing I have seen LP do in ages. Wow.

FUCK APFMH WOW

What I've Done after Faint!

I hope Ryan from Yellowcard comes out!

Wow! This is wild!
