Haha, they seem to be a little lost playing Forgotten. Never been a huge fan of this song, sounds pretty good though!
But My Myself Wow, holy shit... Amazing Performance, Chester nails it! They should keep that in the set!
-
I already expected them to announce a German tour after Rock am Ring and Rock im Park. I'm sure it'll happen in the next few days.
Fingers crossed I'll be able to attend one show since I won't be at home for 2 weeks in November...
-
That is absolutely amazing. Best album since Meteora!
-
Getting reports from there that lots people were apparently leaving the show after Watelands.
-
Burn It Down, oh lord...
-
Yeah, amazing performance until Wastelands. It's a shame that the middle of the set is that terrible with that stupid Castle of Glass Remix, Burn It Down, the ballad medley etc.
But anyway, the band is in great shape. I hope there'll be good footage from Download!
-
Sadly, the Rock am Ring shows aren't that special anymore since lots of people there actually hate Linkin Park and the crowd there gets worse and worse every year, but still...
I might be able to watch it too I hope someday a full 2007 recording appears...

@mikeshinoda: @lplive Ha! Our setlist is a complicated matter. Let's just say that I'm personally willing to play any song, and play a longer set.
I bet Brad and Joe are the ones refusing to play any rare stuff...
-
99,9% sure they're not gonna play Step Up...
Besides that, I don't see any big changes appearing in the set compared to the Australian tour set.

Really good post, that's exactly how I feel.Do you think LIVING THINGS was a letdown coming after A Thousand Suns?
I feel like the frustration for some LP fans with LT is that it came after LP's concept album ATS, which after a while grew significantly on people. With LT, I feel like the band didn't spend nearly enough time on the songs, leaving some to feel really incomplete. Imagine a longer and stronger VICTIMIZED or SKIN TO BONE, both of which are shorter than average songs (unless you're talking about The Beatles). Why did Rick Rubin allow the band to get away with such short, undeveloped songs? On my iTunes, I'LL BE GONE has 6 plays in the last year. TINFOIL has 58. On A Thousand Suns, Blackout has 124 since 2010 and When They Come For Me has 116. Why is that? I like ATS much more than LT, but I do like POWERLESS a lot. The rest of the record, besides CASTLE OF GLASS and maybe IN MY REMAINS, I feel is a letdown. I thought BURN IT DOWN was much weaker than The Catalyst as a lead single and I felt like ROADS UNTRAVELED, SKIN TO BONE and UNTIL IT BREAKS all in a row was a really weak run of songs. LOST IN THE ECHO to me seems like a weak attempt to sound like they did on Meteora, with combining some electronic New Divide elements.
A Thousand Suns took quite a while for me to "get" and to appreciate but I absolutely love the album start-to-finish now, even Robot Boy (my least favorite song). Waiting For The End, Blackout, and Wretches & Kings in a row is fucking great and the best 1-2-3 punch in the middle of an album for Linkin Park since Figure.09, Breaking The Habit, and From The Inside in my opinion. I "get" A Thousand Suns, even though it took a very long time, and I think it's an incredible album that took a LOT of effort, time and work for the band to perfect. LIVING THINGS I feel like took almost no time and the work that the band put into previous albums isn't shown on it at all. Outside of a few songs mentioned above, the record feels short, incomplete and almost demo-ish to me.
Does anyone else feel this way?
I can totally see what they wanted to do with Living Things, namely mixing their old and new sound. Their interviews and some song descriptions before the release made me really excited for it, but the final product is a huge letdown in my opinion. IN MY REMAINS, LIES GREED AND MISERY and I'LL BE GONE are the only songs I like, not even LOST IN THE ECHO which everybody seems to love. What I don't like about songs like SKIN TO BONE, UNTIL IT BREAKS (best example) or VICTIMIZED is that they feel rushed. It seems like they didn't really put much effort into the songs for being finished with it in a shorter amount of time.
I'm not really looking forward to the next album since they want to continue making albums every 18 months. They should definitely take more time, A Thousand Suns was great although it contained so many different styles and many fans thought it was a letdown. But they put much effort in it and that's what counts.

Finally a good interview again, really interesting
And yeah, Papercut ftw. My favourite LP song!
-
<_<Mike surprised the fans and appeared in the LPU chat last night. This is what he said:
-They still don't know what they are going to play for the Sunset Strip & Asia shows, the sets might be similar.
-
*moved*
Pretty cool episode although it's kinda short. The beginning was hilarious
-
No, they didn't play it at some shows in 2001 eitherHoly moly. Is this the only full set that hasn't had ITE EVER?
-
That's pretty awesome. First time without In The End in years...
I edited the main post, thanks to everyone for posting the set
-
I'm pretty sure that's what they'll be doing. Why should they do something special at a festival?LP might troll us all if they do this set minus like 3-4 songs for Soundwave. Ouch. APFMH?
-
Wow, I'd be pissed to miss so many great bands lol. 6 bands playing at the same time is terrible for someone who likes lots of different music.
-
How do LP get away with claiming 100$ for a ticket? That's ridiculous. It's not like their show is something very special.... Although their production improved on the HTC.
-
This. He's messing up a lot lately, that's absurd...Seriously Joe...You have one job...Lol, seriously.
-
Good stuff!
-
Damn... Not even Lost In The Echo lol
-
Not a huge fan of this CD. It's always cool to hear demos though, Homecoming might be my favourite. LPU 9, X and 11 were better in my opinion
-
Papercut only ,I just hate this song,IDK why,love all the rest of LP's songs,just give a bit rest to crawling,I miss little things give you away
-
This show is so good!
Rest In Peace, Chester Bennington

I haven't posted here in a long time, but still...
Linkin park was the first real band I discovered back in 2006.
Before that, I was listening to shitty pop music and some bad German hip-hop but by accident, I watched a Harry Potter fanmade video on YouTube that had In The End as background track and something changed for me personally. I loved that song from the first second on which is why I immediately bought Hybrid Theory, Meteora as well as Live and Texas and listened to these three records for months. There was literally no other music I was listening to during that time.
My first ever concert was a Linkin Park show in Düsseldorf in June 2008. I got the ticket for my 14th birthday and I drove there with my dad. This was certainly the best day of my life until then.
I remember freaking out for the releases of Minutes To Midnight and A Thousand Suns, I downloaded every single audience recording available from the Internet, I discussed setlists, show intros and song structures here on lplive.net, I learned every single lyric and burned famous shows (Rock am Ring 2004 might be the best example) on DVDs in order to watch them on my TV. They were the biggest part of my life back then.
In 2010 and 2011(+LPU Summit in Hamburg thanks to amazing people on lplive.net), I saw them live two more times but then my interest began to fade away slowly, simply because my musical taste developed more and more into hardcore, punk and metalcore. Even their newer stuff isn't as bad as lots of people are saying and I followed every release and still listened to all their music every now and then but my priorities just changed.
The news of Chester's death hit me hard. I cried my eyes out yesterday which is something I hadn't experienced before with a celebrity (Chris Cornell was close but not that intense). It just makes sense though: All these memories from my teenage years and all these amazing people I got to meet due to their music have such a special place in my heart. Linkin Park have always been and will always be extremely special to me and it breaks my heart that the band's existence has to end that way.
I still can't believe it. I've been listening to Hybrid Theory and Meteroa all day long which is not a easy thing to do with the tragic news and all the memories coming back. But I feel that it's something I have to do.
Let's hope his family and band members stay strong and somehow get through these dark times.
