It's correct. Thanks!

I still see zero evidence they are working with them?

You think they wrote a song with them?

I wonder if this will be after the band announces an October show.

Projekt Revolution 2004 was Linkin Park at their all time best. Band firing on all cylinders. In terms of the best tour I saw them on, Projekt Revolution 2007 was awesome...Set A kicked a lot of ass. Europe 2009 was GREAT too after the band looked so tired on PR08. Stuttgart show was ridiculous.

Updates on what the current status of Chester is....who should probably be touring in a bubble by now.... STP Cleveland: He trips over Robert's speaker at the front of the stage and comes inches from falling off of the front of the stage (which would have been Dave Grohl 2.0). "That would have fit in perfectly with me breaking shit all the time" -Chester STP Detroit: Chester trips on stage during 'Down', falls into Eric's drumset and smashes his left hand. He didn't break it, but he hurt it to the point that he had to restart a song later in the show due to the pain in it. Six shows left.

I'm sure LP will announce it at the very last minute and cause it to be very stressful for everyone to plan it....

Wow thanks. These are pristine, where did they come from?

Listen to this Raleigh show, the banter is hilarious. The stage manager tells Chester they have time for one more song after Trippin' (which ended the set). Chester says ok we'll play TWO more, the fans deserve to have at least TWO more. Then before Dead & Bloated he's like "these two guys will fucking kill me if we don't play this song....so get the fuck up here and sing it with me!" - epic lol. Asks everyone to introduce themselves into the mic. Complete opposite stage persona than he is with LP. I love it. If there's 3 mins left in the stage time, he's adding a song.

What about LP-Bits? http://lp-bits.com/details.php?id=662 My upload speed is about as slow as it gets, lmao

It's audio. Great, glad we got a setlist and recording. The set is an awesome collection of songs. Wish I could have seen this show.

Not surprising to me...they win the EMAs all the time. I'm sure another win on the next album tour.

Belowempty doesn't have the setlists. I post there frequently. Raleigh was allegedly these songs (not in order): Sex Type Thing Vasoline Wicked Garden Interstate Love Song Plush Piece Of Pie Trippin' Down Out Of Time Coma Big Bang Baby Dead & Bloated Still trying to get more info.

Maybe they should start the cycle somewhere else besides Europe. Do the first album promo tour in Asia for a change. Or Australia.

He's had the Jonathan Davis / Scott Weiland persona with him since the Grey Daze era. That's who he learned from for his stage moves.

They only get 75 mins at the first 2 shows in NC. Not sure what the set was.

Linkin Park just wrapped up their ten show tour of Europe, which is the last tour for The Hunting Party before they go back into the studio. We'll recap the tour for you and also give Fort Minor some love in a second recap, coming in a few days. This is the first time that Linkin Park has played the August festival circuit run in Europe since 2003, when they did it for Meteora. A twelve show tour that June was canceled due to an injury to Chester, but with shows already planned at Reading and Leeds in August, the band was able to return and make up six of the canceled shows. Since two of the shows were opening for Metallica in Spain, LP headlined a show in Spain in August and played Terremoto in Weeze, Germany since Rock am Ring and Rock im Park were canceled that year. Sadly, the Norway, Sweden and Netherlands shows weren't made up but the band eventually returned to those countries on the world tours for Minutes To Midnight and A Thousand Suns. Since then, LP has typically stuck to the June/July festival circuit in Europe, which arguably has the biggest cluster of festivals for rock bands at one time, but August does offer a few great ones, which we'll get into next. This tour kicked off at Pukkelpop in Belgium, which was the first LP show in that country since Rock Werchter in 2011. It was the first appearance of Linkin Park at Pukkelpop, and the band DOMINATED the "want" list for the festival for months....the tickets for the day LP played sold out almost instantly. Talk about huge demand. Seriously, Belgium REALLY wanted the band. Anyway, Fort Minor's first show ever was also at Pukkelpop in 2005 so it was fitting that this tour also kicked off there. It was the first time Limp Bizkit opened for LP since Rock in Rio 2012 in Lisboa, too. For the setlist, we saw the same thing that had been played this summer, but with Rebellion back in the #3 spot. Rob and Brad injured themselves on Guilty All The Same so we knew that song wouldn't return, but it's good that another song from The Hunting Party was able to be added to the setlist since Rebellion was also banned in China in July. This was the first time in 2015 that Rebellion and Points Of Authority appeared in the same setlist, after rotating in-and-out BEFORE China in June, when shows in Mexico and the U.S. occurred. Mike even played a bit of Let It Go at the end of the LOATR/SOTD/Iridescent medley at this show, ha. Austria (home of FM4 Frequency, show #2 on this tour) has been a staple of LP's tours since the beginning, just barely missing out of a show on the Meteora World Tour when Aerodrome 04 didn't work out. There wasn't ever really a big European Tour for Meteora...the band's schedule was completely exhausting with all of the U.S. touring going on as well as the short European visits (plus with hopping across the rest of the world), so they never had time for a full-on arena tour across Europe. If they did, Austria would have definitely gotten a show. However, they've received shows on every world tour since, including back-to-back Novarock shows in 2011 and 2012. It wouldn't be a Linkin Park European Tour unless Germany received more shows than anyone else, so the band kicked that off with a show in Hockenheim at Rock'n'Heim. This festival is newer....starting in 2013 and with MLK promising a third three-day-festival in 2015, fans were excited but it unfortunately turned out to only be one day. Linkin Park drew 14,000+, which is good, but definitely not as much as MLK or the band wanted in Germany. The Berlin show more than made up for that, probably. Still, that's a sellout if it was in an arena with the same lineup so no one likely complained at the end of the day. A big return to Poland came next! The 2014 show in Wroclaw was one of the largest headlining shows the band has played....what a huge crowd! It's no surprise they decided to come back this year and Rybnik was selected as the lucky city to host the show. Another big turnout came to Rybnik...which probably gets Poland more shows in the future (that's a good thing). Next up, Belarus got their first Linkin Park show ever. We held a great LPLive Meetup the night before the show in Minsk with a cover band featuring the lead singer of the band that was chosen to open for Linkin Park the next night. Several members of the crew like Ted (Phoenix's bass tech) and Benjamin (Brad's guitar tech) stopped by to hang out as well. The show in Minsk ALMOST sold out...a large turnout for the first Linkin Park show there ever and it also wouldn't surprise us if the band returned on a future tour. Russia has hosted the band on every world tour since they made their debut there on the Minutes To Midnight touring cycle, and Moscow didn't disappoint on this one. The flashmobs were great and the crowd was massive once again! Next, Jämsä, Finland hosted an outdoor show - the first show in Finland since Projekt Revolution in Helsinki in 2011. The band took things back to Germany by headlining Stadion An der Alten Försterei in Berlin on September 3rd to over 30,000 fans. Joe had to fly home due to a family emergency before this show, and we now know that everything is ok at home and he's good to go for future shows. This was the first time that Joe was ever forced to miss a Linkin Park show. His tech, Warren, stepped in and nailed it....even playing parts of songs that Joe skips sometimes. The second show in a row for Germany and last German show of 2015 was Düsseldorf, which also hosted Projekt Revolution 2008 at the same venue. Funny enough, the 2008 tour also went from Berlin to Düsseldorf. This show was billed as Rock im Sektor, a "new festival" for MLK. With another massive crowd, the tour went to Italy to close it out in style. Roma is a city Linkin Park has never played before, so the Rock in Roma show was a special one. Over 500 LPU members used the early entry at this show and were chanting for the band five hours before the show even began. Chester during the encore gave a speech about a fallen fan named Alessandro before the band did something they've never done before at a headlining show....they played a fan request. Fans up front started chanting for A Place For My Head, causing the band to decide to play the song (even changing instruments for it on the spot) just for them. Not bad! This was one of the shortest tours in Europe for Linkin Park, but they once again played huge shows across the continent. The summer tours in Europe are only getting between 9 and 12 shows at this point in the band's career (2012 to now)...the last one with more was for A Thousand Suns in June/July 2011. It would be nice if they extended it back out to 15 in the future, but that's doubtful since LP really doesn't do HUGE tours anymore. Carnivores, though, was an exception since it was quite bigger than Honda Civic Tour in 2012. Still though, we are referring to just six shows in Asia in 2013, nine in Europe last summer, ten now, etc. A notable exclusion on this tour was definitely the United Kingdom, where the band played four shows in 2014, but none this year. We don't know the logistics of it all, but it's interesting that England isn't getting nearly as many shows anymore compared to the 2007-2011 period. A show in Serbia almost came to fruition to close the tour, but didn't work out. Look for the band to play their first show there in the future as that's the second legit attempt at getting LP there (after May 2013). Next, we thought Spain would get a show as Live Nation Spain has been very vocal about The Hunting Party and the LP fanbase there, but the country went without a single LP performance on any of the three European tours for The Hunting Party. Finally, we were shocked to see no shows listed in France or Czech Republic...stadium show rumors for France were being discussed years ago and Brno in Czech Republic has hosted several great Linkin Park shows. Don't worry, LP will play all of these places on upcoming tours. Truthfully, there are just too many countries in the world for EVERY country to be played on EVERY album's touring cycle. The band can't logically tour for four years for each album. Anyway, that's it for Europe! The band ends the world tour here, playing just one show in Tempe later this year, as they write their followup to The Hunting Party. Another club show or two is rumored to happen around that show, which is near the 15th anniversary of Hybrid Theory. A live release is also rumored for later this year...stay tuned to see if that ends up happening. So what did you guys think of the tour? Did you see multiple shows? One thing Rob mentioned at a M&G this tour was that he can see how hardcore fans lose the incentive to see multiple shows on the tour...because the band isn't rotating setlists anymore. The Hunting Party's touring has really brought huge production and a "show" aspect instead of just 18-20 actual songs in a setlist. Maybe that changes for the next world tour as the band will introduce even more songs to the set. One thing we'd like to see again is rotating songs/sets, for sure. Another tour in the books! Linkin Park will undoubtedly return to Europe next year in case you didn't see them on this run.

I find it very interesting at the end Chester says they're opening the doors for other bands in China. Not exactly. Bon Jovi and Maroon 5 just got their shows canceled, both for Dalai Lama stuff. Same thing that got LP banned in 2011 and the 3 shows that fall canceled. http://news.yahoo.com/bon-jovi-adds-taiwan-show-following-china-tour-100811723.html http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6634609/maroon-5-china-tour-dates-canceled China's government is extremely backwards, still. LP isn't opening the doors for any bands, they just likely apologized under the table or worked out a large money deal so that they could return.

It might be a best of THP World Tour, doesn't have to have exclusively THP songs. It can be like: Mashup Intro GATS Rebellion Given Up Points With You OSC Blackout > Papercut ALITS FTI DOYS/LFY etc etc etc Whatever they want, however they want to do it. Maybe they like the Vegas ALITS the best, who knows. There's a bunch of ALITS performances that are messed up. I have no clue what they are doing but I would think that paying Ethan a studio rate of $___ an hour means they are hiring him to mix something professionally so that they can release it. Otherwise, they'd just get Pooch to do it if it was an LPTV.

It definitely isn't for LPTV, they have Pooch's mixes for that. For example, European Tour in fall 2014 had Pooch's mix of Wastelands and he confirmed that to me. He will mix parts of songs for LPTV. Hiring Ethan is a different thing. I think what they are doing is mixing a "best of THP Tour" to release. Wastelands from this show, ALITS from this show, etc. Lots of stuff. Maybe a compilation to make a "full" setlist release. LPU 15, why would it have live songs? It's the 15th year of LPU and is a big celebration.

Waves Audio has posted a great behind the scenes video of Ethan Mates mixing A Line In The Sand, with a little insight from Pooch. Who knows what they're mixing it for...but the end result at the end of the video sounds fantastic. Ethan mixes all of the live releases, so if he's touching ALITS, the band at least appears to be putting out one live song somehow. 9/11/15 EDIT: The video has now been set to private.

That was fast! The European Tour is over...and as always, we are asking for your tickets from the shows so that we may add them to the show pages. Europe has a PERFECT record on this world tour so far...we have tickets for all 25 European shows in 2014.

Shows we are missing tickets for: 08.20 Hasselt (Pukkelpop) 08.22 St. Polten (Frequency) 08.23 Hockenhein (Rock 'n' Heim) 08.25 Rybnik 08.27 Minsk (alternates, several versions exist) 08.29 Moscow (alternates, several versions exist) 08.31 Jamsa 09.03 Berlin 09.05 Dusseldorf 09.06 Roma Fort Minor: 08.26 Copenhagen (hard ticket) 09.02 Berlin 09.05 Dusseldorf 09.08 London Please submit your scans/images to us via email at pics(AT)lplive(DOT)net. A great example of a completed show page for 2014 is Columbus, Ohio. Other things we are taking: (LP, DBS, JK, FM, any band we cover on LPL) - Show pictures - Ticket scans/pictures - Upgrades of pictures we already have on the site - M&G wristbands, VIP wristbands, GA pit wristbands, any kind of wristbands or passes - Show posters - Anything that we don't already have on LPLive that has to do with the show Thanks everyone! BONUS: We now have all Projekt Revolution 2007 tickets except Mountain View, CA and Greenwood Village, CO.

Interesting info, didn't know that stuff. That's really cool about the Astoria show. Correction, Sektor was shortened Berlin set, because it had High Voltage

I like it a lot and hope he keeps doing that. A request part is cool, or just keeping TTG/APFMH is great.
