[AndOne]

I'd say most of the time festivals are recorded, maybe not by the bands crew personally. The reason why they didn't record all the shows back in the days was apparently that they couldn't always take the bulky recording equipment out on tour. I think it's pretty save to assume that they have a couple show of each tour plus their hometown shows, since those are always good.

I just watched another interview where Chester said it was his 23rd birthday, I don't think he'd get such an important date wrong especially since he must have mentioned it in tons of interviews before.

Warner didn't really put much money into the FM touring either. I remember from some interview that Mike said the FM US tour was only possible because he paid mostly for it on his own. He did it as a fan service.

"Prior to Projekt Revolution 2007 we recorded some things sporadically. I believe there is some B-sides on some imports, etc. from our rehearsals and club shows in March/April 2007. But prior to January 2007, when Dylan and I came onto the scene, there is not any regular recordings of LP. There is a "Linkin Park Vault" somewhere, but it only contains recordings from January 2007 and onwards. And NOT every show. We started recording EVERY single show in June 2007 - Projekt Revolution - and onwards." - http://lplive.net/interviews/pooch.php If that answers your question, I highly doubt there is more detail anywhere as to which shows exactly were recorded.

Standing In The Middle was produced by Kutmasta Kurt. Kutmasta Kurt and Motion Man both worked also on Enth E Nd so it's save to assume it was done in 2001/2002 for Reanimation.

They started it in 2007, it was the first year they recorded every performance. How many shows exactly they recorded prior to 2007 is unknown. In March we teamed up with as many fan sites as possible to spread our Open Letter to get the attention of the management/band to release the older shows too.

Yeah you are right but honestly I was only looking at the music credits and not the lyrics.

Preferably for show notes and other bands. But even the bands seem incomplete at times, like Ozzfest and Family Values had a couple more bands than usually mentioned. What's really interesting about this one is (which the other review doesn't mention for some reason) that the reviewer Jane Says being played. We always suspected that they did it in Australia already, it might be the first show they actually did it.

That girl mentions in her review that she received a setlist, thats why it is so accurate in the first place. When it matches the previous show it's most likely to be true. The first review you quoted was obviously incomplete since it was missing significant songs. Generally I don't really see a point in adding incomplete sets based on reviews. That a show had In The End or One Step Closer is not hard to assume and the order is most likely to be wrong too, often people don't even regonize songs right. Or people remember songs that were in fact not played, it's not too uncommon.

I don't know much about STP but judging from the song credits, he doesn't seem to be the writer genius in the band. He doesn't have a writing credit on a lot of the songs. He's barely credited on the first 2 albums.

Nice find! Interesting stories, seems like they left before STP came on stage since their is no mention of Dead & Bloated, which they did on both shows. Good setlist upgrade, since the song order we had is most likely wrong.

Yeah but that's still not a 100% confirmation that they actually finished the songs. Chester got sick during the vocal sessions, this was in December 2002, 2 months after the info you linked (and before Chester got sick), there's a possibility they never finished all the songs. Or maybe they were never all mixed. The album came out 10 years ago and today we basically know nothing about those songs. It took until LPU9, 6 years after the album till we got the first Meteora demo.

They might have a few for each album but definitely not a LOT of completed songs, for the simple fact that the majority of the songs don't even make it that far. The "fate" of a song is decided before it's fully done. That's why there are so many instrumentals too. I'm talking about finished songs like Across The Line, that the band still considers as "demos". They surely have tons of rough versions of songs. For example for Meteora they recorded rough versions of the songs before going to the studio. If I remember right MTM is the only the album where we really know how many extra songs they finished and keep in mind they worked on this album for a long time. It seems to me more like they barely do enough songs for the albums, the booklets always mention a song or two that were done/finished in the last minute. Other bands release b-side albums because they don't do fan club CD's like LP does.

No idea who old those videos are, can't even find them on youtube right now but I highly doubt that they predate youtube. The setlist is years older and was definitely not made up by this sucky cover band.The text is kinda sketchy but it als seems to refer to the Whisky show and not Lynus Brook. The LPA wiki states it as a fact and seems to be completely false about the Cypress Hill part. The setlist as well as the show date might be completely made up. I think if the setlist was real it might have had Pictureboard but the setlist is older than the knowledge about the song. There is nothing about the venue on the internet, it all leads back to the Xero show. Even venues closed in the early 2000's left tons of traces.

You had your good share of MTM demos last time, even if you didn't like them. How about 1 MTM and 3 Meteora

The youtube stuff was made many years afterwards and so shitty that it doesnt even derserve to be mentioned in the same sentence lol.

Ah yes, that is probably the mentioned Cypress Hill show, not the Lynus Brook one. Edit: I made the mistake of reading the LPA wiki entry http://wiki.lpassociation.com/index.php/Xero which is full of bullshit I guess.

Osaka & Tokyo Summer Sonic 2006, extended bridge for In The End.

I wonder if that venue even exists lol. I mean you can't find anything about it online besides the Xero show. EDIT: I even doubt the part about Cypress Hill. Their show is not on setlist.fm and when you look for shows from that time. They played Arenas and Amphitheatres, I highly doubt they played in a small random shithole in LA.

The date is not new, it was also in Omars guide, I have no idea how solid this info even is, it's the only info source I know. The date might be real, or maybe not but that setlist is probably fake. As far as I know the other song names were never confirmed and I think some of the songs didn't even exist back then, like Now I see would be my guess.

If you had a time machine right now and you could travel back in time to watch ONE show which one would you pick? and why? Rules: Pick only one show. You can only travel to this show but you can't stay for more shows after that, you are not stuck there. I'll start: Show: Tokyo 2006 Why: No doubt the Japan 2006 shows were epic as hell, cause they premiered QWERTY and played Reading My Eyes and the setlist was just epic. I still get goosebumps when Mike says "this is a new song" and QWERTY kicks in.

I think that's something they don't seem to like. They don't even release real b-sides or demos on singles anymore. And maybe they think that the songs that didn't make the album are not worth releasing as an EP. They are very picky about their releases. Instead of producing content for an extra EP they rather do full albums.

Well they played Collision Course live You asked for an EP and I named one. Your list is too long, so that wouldn't be an EP anymore. The iTunes EP's roughly stickto the "EP rules" as well. You can do your own compilation, they barely re-release LPU stuff, I think that's good.

I think we used to have a subforum for DBS when they were active, so it would make sense to do that for STP now. But the whole Side Projects subforum should be enough too, the STP discussion is not limited to the "official" thread.

You could say that Collision Course was an EP. The "official" definition for an EP is, more music than a single, too short for a full album. It all originates from the the vinyl times. Translated to the modern times, it's less than 25 minutes or 4 songs. So LPU8 was the last LPU EP.
