I think I wanted to add Rock Shop Sessions to the guide but couldn't find a date, venue, etc for it. Any idea? They posted the cities/dates for the WHWY European Bootlegs release right? With the full tracklisting? Do you have that?

Thanks! We worked hard on the site. Unfortunately for you, we don't make any music. Talk to Mike, he made Invisible. We'll see you in Charlotte.

I think rotating setlists now. At least 2.

Rehearsals page coming soon.

Chester says September 23rd in Vegas, so it will be two shows?

It's confirmed that it's Sharp Edges.

Just a quick note... In response to Linkin Park broadcasting footage from their rehearsals, we are now archiving those performances too. You will see the "(Rehearsal)" tag on the 2017+ pages; these shows are not counted in the "Total Performances" number at the top of the page. The parentheses will help distinguish these rehearsals on the year pages from actual shows. As of now we have three rehearsals where Linkin Park has broadcasted some material - February, May, and June. These are not meant to list every known rehearsal by the band, but we will list all of the ones in which LP posts video from. Starting this year, they have begun using Instagram and Snapchat specifically to post videos, sometimes Facebook Live as well, from rehearsals. Since there were zero shows in 2016 and the 2015 and prior shows just had pictures, we won't be archiving those. However, we are open to adding rehearsals with specific dates from LPTV (A Line in the Sand, Castle of Glass, etc) if anyone wants to help research those as well. Suggestions, feedback, etc are always welcome.

What an interesting first post, Mike.

Intimate for LP for sure when they can play festivals to 50k+ or arenas/amphitheaters on their own to 10-12k+. I agree with you that it makes no sense to do this if they could have easily done two O2 Arena shows. I'm surprised because they *always* do two O2 Arena shows.

From what I have been told, Manchester is a go and they don't plan to change anything. They obviously can play other arenas, sure, like Leeds or whatever, but they wanted to do an intimate show. Remember Berlin 2012? They seem to be all about these smaller shows every cycle. Vegas club show, NYC surprise set, London club show.

OML sold 111,000.

Not yet, I'll create them soon.

I think when it's all said and done on Sunday (when final stats come in), it will be barely just under THP or will beat THP.

lol. I dislike OML, but how can you say there is no passion in the live show? That is total bullshit and you know it. Mike is blowing up on Good Goodbye live. Really animated on Invisible too. One More Light? Did you even see it performed? They just added new intros to songs, brought older songs back, are playing a 25 song setlist with a new show intro. There is absolutely a LOT of passion, just different than the "balls to the wall" 7-8 heavy songs that kicked our asses to start the setlists 2007-2009. They are also talking a lot more between songs than the entire THP world tour. If there was no passion they'd cop out with just a few songs from the new album live versus SIX before the thing even came out, and if there was no passion they wouldn't have done all all of these changes to the set, and if there was no passion, they wouldn't be talking between songs. Trust me, I've seen them on stage without passion and this is far from it.

Well I agree with you about releasing so much. That's just how promotion works now. Can you believe for Living Things they released BID and LGM? LOL still hilarious for me....literally a terrible example of how the album was. I try not to listen but it's impossible for the pre release songs. Singles now even bother me. I'd rather hear an album at once with nothing heard beforehand, but I realize I'm "extreme" in that belief. lol @ Carnivores. How did they not play ALITS on that tour? Picking that specific tour for the "DJ set" with shortened songs was a weird move, in my opinion. But I like playing as much as possible before the album is released. The LP cycles now are SUPER short. Living Things was a year. A Thousand Suns was less than a year. The Hunting Party was a little over a year but huge breaks. Go ahead and rehearse the entire album before the release and start with 6+ songs in the set so fans can see the new music live. I'm sure a lot of people here are disappointed ALITS barely got played and they didn't get to see it. Imagine for THP if they had rehearsed Keys, All For Nothing, GATS, Mark The Graves, Rebellion, Final Masq, UIG, and ALITS. That's 7 songs, and they dropped UIG ASAP (good move). Go ahead and play the other 6 in the sets the whole cycle. It's a shame more of that album didn't get played live.

They said they want to get it going again by May 30th.

Schedule is finally out. Waited super long to confirm the schedule. Hurricane on the 24th, Southside on the 25th.

I don't understand why people say the band released 60% of the music before the release date. You have the option to not listen to the pre release songs, and two of them were live only (Talking To Myself and One More Light) so it's really 40%. To find those you have to actively go to YouTube and look them up. This is the exact opposite of the complaints for THP - oh they didn't play enough songs for the album.

Sorry For Now by far.

Probably 10~. The mix is so bad. OUCH.

The song has so much more going on the verses than I originally thought. It's growing on me for sure.

Setlist.fm is a very inaccurate source only because it's open for public editing....I don't want to hate on the site because I use it daily but if it was the best resource for live archives then we wouldn't continue the live guide here
