Sadly I would still see them announcing shows there... I really don't know what the holdup is. We've heard rumors from several sources that they at least were PLANNING shows there. Maybe something fell through. LP said they were doing 5 South America shows and ended up doing only 3.... so who knows. Anything could happen. I don't understand why they didn't initially announce NZ though...the album sold well and they sold the shows out last time. I don't see them hitting NZ in 2011 if they don't hit it now though. Hmm. Hope it ends up happening...

No, they will not be.

Thanks for the submissions so far. These are pretty cool. I want an LPU laminate like that - I hope I get a M&G on the USA tour. Praying lol. Yeah we'll take any stubs, old ones especially. Anything you have, just send it right in.

Wow they are being mixed so quickly! Only 4 left London night 1 and night 2, Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv! Sweet. I can't wait to get them all when I get back to a computer next week.

These are awesome! Thanks so much. Looking forward to what everyone is going to send in. The show pages will look so cool after we add it all. I really appreciate people doing this. It's awesome how fans come together and we get one huge database of live info.

We have addressed all of these concerns with the 2 designs we chose.

ZOMG GRECIAN WILL BE AT THIS SHOW. N3W SONG!

Thanks. Emailed Pooch about it.

Thanks so much for the info! The image of the flag will go on the show page - that is such a cool one. Yeah we'd love that day schedule sheet. Glad you talked to Pooch...he is so awesome. Thanks again and I'm glad you had fun.

South America will be released after the Tel Aviv show is released. Be patient. Can someone list out all the corrupted jpg files in the recent DSPs? I think Herning, Frankfurt and Zurich all had some bad images? What are the exact file names in each show that are bad?

Please shorten your sig by a lot, you can't have them that big.

Announcement Service Public. Biased poll because LPUX just dropped so obviously those songs will place higher since everyone is like ZOMG N3W INSTROOMENTALZ.

There aren't any known demos of Papercut, at least not released. I looked on the LPUX CD notes and it didn't list any credits for Mark Wakefield on Coal. Interesting. It could be only a Joe/Mike situation but maybe that was before they started to give the credits to all band members on songs. Highly doubt She Couldn't is related to Be Yourself. I'd be interested in playing an mp3 for Chester/Mike at a M&G of that and see what they have to say about it. I highly agree with Astat, I think She Couldn't can't be talked about because of the label/sample. I think Pictureboard will be released someday.

I'll email Poochinator and see what's going on.

This. If anything, out of the grace of someone's heart, they should at least release a video of Faint, even if it's just to you personally since that's a once in a lifetime thing. I think you should get that video. If I get this show you can bet I'll get that to you immediately.

Shirt news coming SHORTLY with a huge post including images! Pricing, etc will be revealed within a few days.

Meh, we're a Linkin Park site, it's not a big deal lol. The point is about the show... the Kanye thing is more or less a joke. You take us too seriously sometimes

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce Mr. Kanye West... Thanks to [AndOne] for the sweet image. Linkin Park played in Camden, NJ on August 3, 2004 (show page here) and as you might have seen in this thread, there is a full proshot DVD of the show that has leaked and is currently in the hands of several Brazilian traders (hence the image above). One of them shot a video of 'Lying From You' with his digital camera and uploaded it, but that's all we have from the show. This is a legendary show for many reasons. Many fans consider the Projekt Revolution 2004 setlist the best setlist that Linkin Park has ever played (myself included). The Gacela Of The Dark Death intro to 'Don't Stay', the Hip Hop Medley ('Step Up', 'Nobody's Listening', & 'It's Goin' Down') and more were all featured in the setlist. This was the only tour where LP transitioned 'Figure.09' into 'From The Inside' and 'Breaking The Habit' into 'Numb' with instrumental transitions - amazing much? Bert McCracken from The Used came out on 'Faint', a fan was called on stage to play guitar on 'Faint' as well and Jonathan Davis from Korn came out on 'One Step Closer'. The show had the fan favorite 'A Place For My Head', the band's cover of Nine Inch Nails' 'Wish' and many other hits. This is the ONLY video recording of the Projekt Revolution 2004 tour and I know I'm not the only one that would say a full release of this should would be legendary for the LP fan community. Only three audience audio recordings exist (one being the bad quality Darien Lake, NY show)... two of those being the popular Somerset, WI and epic tour-closing Mountain View, CA show that LPLive released in 2007. So join me in asking for the release of this show by the few people in the community that have it. Drop a comment and let them know you'd like to see this full show. Thanks guys! Hopefully this incredible recording will someday see the light of day for Linkin Park fans!

People are greedy and won't share. Hopefully we can find it and get it released... I'm trying to get it. At least if there's no video I do agree with releasing a full audio rip of it. Release mp3 of the full show... at least then we can get show notes, etc from it.

Time for my review, finally. First of all I say thanks to the band for releasing an LPU CD every year with UNRELEASED content...that's ALWAYS better than live tracks like LPU7. There have been some terrible tracks on LPU CDs in the past but there have been awesome ones as well. LPU9 is my favorite CD because "Across The Line" is on it. That's hands down one of the best songs LP has ever written...I have no idea why it wasn't on MTM but I love it. "A-Six" and "Figure.09" you can just jam to all day long. One has a great song structure for an instrumental and the other has the nastiest bridge in LP history. All around, the LPU9 CD brings it and this is where the LPUX CD lacks. I thank the band for LPUX, but overall I think it's a bit weak. They sure hyped the hell out of the fans by saying it's the best LPU CD ever. At one point I was positive I heard "10 unreleased bsides" as well. Hmm. Not sure where that came from now that I think about it. But anyway, it has 6 instrumentals on it...3 full demos (one was already released but that point is really invalid since we knew PTB was on LPUX), and 1 remix that was already released. All the promo for the CD including LPU Facebook posts (even yesterday) say that there's 10 unreleased songs. No, that's not right. There's 9. "What I've Done (M. Shinoda Remix)" was on the "Bleed It Out" single in summer 2007 if I remember correctly. Just because the one on the LPUX CD is a tad shorter doesn't mean that makes it ZOMG UNRELEASED NEW TRACKZ LOL!!11seven. No. That's lame lol. I concluded that all of these songs must mean something to Mike since he chose them for the CD. So each one must have some special meaning to him. Anyway: 01. Unfortunate (2002) As usual I didn't like this the first listen. I do like the samples used...they fit into the time period. The Joe scratch sample before the song kicks in is cool. I don't see this really as anything special but it does remind me of "Drawing" a lot with all the samples near the end. Possibly this was another attempt at an instrumental like that....I'm not sure. Interesting to see something from the Meteora era that's slow 02: What We Don't Know (2007) This is legit right here. Best track on the CD for me. I love Chester's delivery; never heard him sing quite like that...see: unique. The lyrics aren't epic but they work for me. This isn't good enough for MTM for me but I do like the song a lot. Another MTM b-side, so that means we might have them all now. If you count "Not Alone", then this should be the last track from those sessions but if not there might be ONE more. This fits into the MTM time period perfectly and is an enjoyable track. Nice b-side for the CD. It sort of reminds me of "Breaking The Habit" in a way. 03: Oh No (Points Of Authority Demo) Wow, ummm. I guess this is neat to see how POA transformed but I don't really like this track at all. "Stick N Move" from LPU9 blows this away in my opinion lol. I was hoping we wouldn't have any short instrumentals on LPUX but my hopes were thrown in the trash when I heard this. Not a fan of this even though it's a POA demo. I think the space could be utilized for a better song...another full HT song that didn't make the CD. Something different from the 1999-2000 time period would have been better in my opinion. 04: I Have Not Begun (2009) Everyone loves this track. This is a solid piece from the ATS sessions. I don't know if this was ever considered for ATS (I would hope not LOL) or not. I think Wretches and Blackout take this to the cleaners all day long but this works for the LPUX CD. Unreleased b-side. Not a big fan since Mike goes on and on and on here but it's alright, definitely a good choice for the CD though. The intro reminds me of "Do What We Did" by FM. Anyway this wouldn't fit well on ATS at all, at least to me, so releasing it here is good. 05: Pale (2006) Gold material right here. Love this. It indeed is sleepy because of the length of it but I'm a big fan. Piano at the beginning is nice and the drumming reminded me of "Hands Held High" when I first heard it. The guitars coming in at like 2:40 solid. I'm not sure if they wanted this to be an instrumental like ASP or not but I do like this track. Good choice for the CD. The last minute and a half is the closest you come on the CD to being able to jam lol. 06: Pretend To Be I like this song a lot. Good choice for the CD. I guess it was made during the MTM sessions and tidied up in 2008 in the studio around the time Lockjaw was made? I 07: Divided (2005) Not a big fan of this instrumental. I guess this was one of the first pieces made for the MTM sessions. I forgot LP was even recording in 2005 lol. QWERTY is from 2006 so I guess this piece falls in before that...interesting. A slower instrumental here that didn't make it very far in the writing process is what I see. The bridge is ok but this isn't anything special...I'd rather take another song for this one. Who knows though, maybe one of these songs plays a bigger part than what we know. Perhaps the verse instrumental from a track like this transformed into another song we know or something. Who knows. 08: What I've Done (M. Shinoda Remix) WTF. Total, huge waste of space. Easily the worst track on the CD and I'm not saying that because I hate the remix because by all means I love it (OSC intro gunshot sample FTW) but we already had this song from the BIO single in summer 2007. I'd like to see why it was slightly shortened and mixed a bit differently for this CD. Maybe another track got cut from the CD at the last second for some reason (someone said no to it at the last minute or a sample couldn't get cleared like "She Couldn't") or something. Regardless, garbage entry here. I would have taken anything in the place of this. 09: Coal (1997) LEGIT fucking entry right here. A Xero INSTRUMENTAL. Very nice. The samples are great and this is an excellent look into the past of LP. Another Xero track is an epic win. I could see why they chose this for the CD and saved "Pictureboard", maybe for another LPU CD in the future. Obviously the label/band knows that whatever they release "Pictureboard" on will generate a lot of sales solely because of the hype it has in the fan community even though it's been mentioned ONCE EVER and has NEVER been heard by anyone, so they do have that going in their favor. Huge fan of this selection for the CD. Nice one, Mike. I am wondering if this is just Joe and Mike or if anyone else had any input into this track. Also...any other Xero songs lying around? LOL 10: Halo (2002) The band are huge Halo fans so the name doesn't surprise me at all. I like the intro sample...it sounds like someone walking through a desert in heavy armor in my opinion (or maybe I only think that because of the track name lol). It reminds me of the sample before "Not Alone" only because it stands out in a way that is totally different from the actual sound of the song. Anyway this is another dark piece from the Meteora era and is one of the best tracks on the LPU CD in my opinion. I don't know if that is a sample of keys or some other metal piece but I do like that. The guitar is dark sounding and the one that comes in later I guess for the choruses sounds great. This didn't make it very far in the song writing process either it seems but I do like this one. Anything from the Meteora era is a win because we have NOTHING from those writing sessions besides the CD, the 2 instrumentals on this CD and the demos from LPU9. The past 2 LPU CDs have really given us more insight into Meteora so I hope they keep releasing stuff like this in the future. Meteora is a lot of fans' favorite album. Final thoughts: Ok I think 6 instrumentals were a bit too much. 6 out of 10 are instrumental and you're calling it the best LPU CD ever? I think "Across The Line" hands down destroys the entire CD for me and I prefer LPU9 a LOT over this. There are 3 solid b-sides here (WWDK, IHNB, and PTB) and I would have kept 3 instrumentals (Coal, Pale and Halo), but 4 of the other tracks could have been put to much better use. Scrap Oh No, Unfortunate, Divided, and WID remix and put some better songs on there. What happened to "Pictureboard"? What about the unreleased songs from the Meteora DVD? "Thought That Take Away My Pride" or maybe another demo. On the Meteora art wall we saw tons of lyrics to unreleased demos... what about one of those? Another HT track? Team Sleep remix of My December? ATS demos? I'll take 6 songs here but I think 4 are pretty weak for a release you're calling the best LPU CD ever. Hell I would have rather had demos to SIB, LFY, NMS, BIO or something else than some of these instrumentals. I hope Mike posts a track-by-track description on his blog with info on each song and why he chose them for the CD. I hope LPU keeps this up in the future with 10 songs on LPU CDs that are unreleased. Fans love that stuff and the LPU CD is a great outlet to release your demo material. Fans love it.

$5 plus over $8 for shipping...no thanks lol

They should play more shows in Canada and Mexico. Maybe a return to South America for more in 2011, or some in South Africa. Other than that, LP does pretty well in hitting a lot of different countries. Congrats to Australia. I'm sure they don't add shows for the hell of it...this seems like the work of the LP promoter who probably told the band there was a lot of demand for them and wanted to see if they could add another show. That's usually what happens with the second night in London, second night in Sydney and what happened in Dortmund. I think they might add New Zealand after Canberra because I don't see them playing more than 9 shows in Australia lol. Maybe 2 in Auckland for 11 total to wrap it up. But dang they sure are announcing them close to the show!

Girlfriend coming

Seats for me in Atlanta lol

We'll have LPL M&Gs for sure. The M&G info is coming soon, it's after presales. They haven't rolled that out yet. GA is one section. It's divided up sometimes in the seating chart pictures but at the show that means nothing lol, it's just the big floor. Florida crowds rock...can't wait to kick off the tour down there in Sunrise.
