Wow. It's been a wild couple of days. Three shows into the Post Traumatic Tour / Monster Energy Outbreak Tour and we're already shocked at the setlists! Mike makes his fourth stop on the tour tonight in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at The Fillmore! Before we talk about anything else, let's talk about last night in New York City - because I was there and still can't believe everything that happened. Mike and company performed a powerful set, surprising from start to finish with lots of energy and excitement. Though the setlist featured many of the same tracks he played at his NYC show earlier this year, it was still a fresh new experience with how much the show has changed since then. With a triple whammy opener of 'Petrified,' 'I.O.U.,' and 'In Stereo,' differing entirely from the opening a the show in June, it was bound to be an incredible show. And that it was. Of the many things that happened in New York, we got some live debuts. First was very first appearance of 'Lift Off,' of which Mike rapped the first verse during the extended bridge of 'Sorry For Now' after Dan's drum solo. Later on in the show came a huge surprise in the live debut of 'World's On Fire,' which was played with an extended jam bridge featuring a drum solo and Mike playing around with the synth solo of 'Robot Boy' - which also got its tour debut as the encore opener at the show! Additionally, 'Wisdom, Justice, and Love' was moved back down into the middle of the set rather than the encore opener, Mike surprising us by mashing it up with 'Hands Held High,' because Shinoda's mind knows no rules when it comes to mash ups. 'Iridescent' was performed right after. In addition, a fan named David came onstage during 'Over Again' and sang with Mike throughout the show! Watch Mike perform 'World's On Fire' for the very first time live in New York last night! I filmed the entire show from the front row - if you want to check out anything from the show, check out the playlist. Philadelphia has always been a great place for Linkin Park to play a show. One of the most popular shows in Philadelphia was 2011's A Thousand Suns World Tour stop, where an awesome video recording perfectly shows off the band's awesome V-shaped stage. Plus, epic performances of songs like 'When They Come For Me' and 'From The Inside' came from this show! The band's first stops in Philly in the year 2000 were some of the earliest they ever made on tour; the fourth stop of the band's first tour opening for the Union Underground was in Philadelphia, who must've put on such a good vibe that the band returned later the same year in December. The band returned early in 2001 for their very first headlining tour: the Street Soldiers Tour. They also returned later that same year, this time on the Family Values Tour. The band made one final Hybrid Theory era stop in Philly on Projekt Revolution 2002, an awesome show that featured DJ Z-Trip on 'It's Goin' Down,' as well as a cover of the Deftones' 'My Own Summer (Shove It).' The band made two stops in Philly on the Meteora World Tour, hitting it in 2003 on Metallica's 'Summer Sanitarium' Tour, and then once more the next year in 2004, at the start of their North American Tour. Philadelphia also hosted the band's famous 2005 Live 8 performance with Jay-Z, which is by far the biggest crowd the band has ever performed to: between 700,000 and 1,000,000 people were there. See Linkin Park perform an awesome show in Philadelphia in 2011. Highlights of the show include the awesome production as well as a particularly great performance of 'From The Inside.' As for tonight, who knows. There's literally no point in guessing anymore because Mike is doing whatever the hell he wants - and we love it! There's nothing like going into a show unsure of what's coming. Mike's winding down the list of songs to play on tour, knocking one off the Post Traumatic list (still missing 5: 'Nothing Makes Sense Anymore,' 'Brooding,' 'Promises I Can't Keep,' 'a full 'Lift Off,' and 'Can't Hear You Now). Fans still really want to hear songs like 'No Roads Left' and 'High Voltage,' and who knows! They could be next! Even the soundcheck in New York showed us some interesting stuff: the first known full band version of 'Dedicated' was partially played, as well as 'Sharp Edges' with Matt on vocals and an unknown song that we can't quite identify. Will we see these songs performed live in the set today? Who knows! We've seen that it only takes literally one day of practice at soundcheck to perform something new, as we saw today with 'World's On Fire.' What will be next? Who's going to this show? I met a lot of people at New York, and I'll be in Philly too and would love to meet more of you (or see some of you again)! If you're at the show and see me, come say hi! My face will probably be plastered all over our social media so check there for updates. And if you're there, you might not have too tough of a time finding me After this show, Mike hits up Stroudsburg in western Pennsylvania before heading south down the east coast, with stops in North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. We're only just beginning.

Time to rock, America. Mike's bringing the Post Traumatic Tour to the United States! His first show of his U.S. run is happening tomorrow, October 13, in New York City, New York at The Rooftop at Pier 17! Last night in Toronto, Ontario was certainly one to remember. Mike dished out loads of surprises on only the second stop of the tour - and there were many surprises to look out for. Starting small, some notable structural changes led to 'Make It Up As I Go' and 'Good Goodbye/Bleed It Out' to be performed in the encore for the first time, and the first time since Mike's show at Identity LA that the mashup was played second-to-last. 'Petrified' was shortened a bit - possibly due to a technical difficulty - and went straight into 'I.O.U.,' which apparently was performed acapella through the first verse (still looking for a confirmation on that). The surprises started strong and early, with 'In Stereo' being performed for the second time on tour, and for the first time with Dan and Matt playing along. Next came something fans have been wanting ever since the tour started: 'High Voltage.' Mike performed the first verse and chorus of the song during the extended bridge of 'Sorry For Now' after Dan's drum solo - seems like 'Sorry For Now' is going to become to new 'Bleed It Out!' Mike continued with the first full performance of the piano version of 'Burn It Down' on the tour, which was followed by a full piano version of 'Numb.' The main set ended with the 'About You,' 'Over Again,' and 'Papercut' run for the first time. The encore began with what is undoubtedly the biggest surprise of the night: tour debuts of the studio versions of 'Wisdom, Justice, and Love' and 'Iridescent' - the first time either of those songs have been played like that since Singapore 2011! Watch Mike perform the first verse and chorus of 'High Voltage' during the extended bridge of 'Sorry For Now' in Toronto! What other verses do you think we could see over the song? This isn't Mike's first run around New York - hell, it isn't even his first Post Traumatic show in New York. Earlier this year, Mike played his very first full headlining show at New York's Gramercy Theater for a Post Traumatic Release Show - myself and Mark were both there, and it was one hell of a show! The surprise live debut of 'I.O.U.,' an intimate crowd, and huge energy all led to a fantastic show. Linkin Park and Mike have performed in New York almost too many times to count, so I'll spare you a textbook chapter of notes. But, here's some highlights from NYC history: unforgettable shows in Madison Square Garden in both 2008 (which featured a surprise appearance from JAY-Z) and 2011 (which was actually my first concert ever!) and the iconic Webster Hall show from 2007 (which featured the live debut of 'Bleed It Out') are only some of the epic moments that have gone down in the city. What can we expect from this show? As we've learned from the first two shows: expect the unexpected. We'll probably see a bit of a mix-up of the setlist he played back in June, but there'll surely be more than just a few substitutions. It's anyone's best bet at this point what Mike will play at these upcoming shows, and nothing's off the table. Could we see the tour debut of the full version of 'High Voltage' soon? Perhaps a live debut from a song off of Post Traumatic like 'Promises I Can't Keep' or 'Can't Hear You Now?' Literally nothing is off the table here. We'll just have to wait and see what happens! New York is going to have a great crowd. Watch 'In The End' from Mike's show at the Gramercy Theater earlier this year to get a taste of how great this show will be! Who's heading to the show? If you are, let me know - I'll see you there! I'll be in New York and Philly for the shows, so if you see me be sure to say hi! I don't bite! After this show, Mike heads to Philadelphia on Sunday. grandson is in town in Philly the same night Mike plays - he's opening for Nothing But Thieves. Perhaps we'll see a live collaboration for 'Running From My Shadow' happen! I'll be recording both shows, so stay tuned for sources on those as well. We'll be keeping you updated on everything that happens at this show, so be be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates, and join the LPLive Discord for discussion with fans around the world (a couple members from the Discord will be at this show - be sure to say hi)!

So, I don't know what's going on. No 'High Voltage.' No 'Cigarettes'/'Heavy' choice. What do I believe anymore?

And we're off! After kicking off the North American leg of the Post Traumatic Tour / the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour last night, Mike Shinoda and co. are pushing ahead on their tour, tonight played at the second and final stop in Canada in Toronto! The tour started off yesterday in Montreal, Quebec with an awesome show. Full of fresh Post Traumatic songs like 'Hold It Together' and 'Ghosts' (NOT 'Can't Hear You Now,' though - sorry about that, there was a false report of it yesterday), while staples like the run of 'About You,' 'Over Again,' and 'Papercut' as well as 'Roads Untraveled.' The set still came with its surprises, even though it was only the first show! Firstly, after a request at the LPU Meet and Greet, Mike rapped a tease of 'High Voltage' over the extended bridge of 'Sorry For Now.' This was the first time a verse from another song has been rapped over the song - typically, it's either just the demo verse or Dan's drum solo. Next, Mike took a crowd vote between 'Cigarettes' and 'Heavy,' which the latter one. From there, Mike played piano versions of 'Heavy,' 'In The End,' and 'Numb.' 'Kenji' was played in place of 'High Road,' which was written on the physical setlist. Not even one show in and Mike is already flipping things up on us! Watch Mike give an emotional speech before diving into powerful performance of 'In The End' with the crowd! It hasn't been too long since Mike was last in Toronto. Just last year, Mike and Chester performed a piano version of 'Heavy' for the very first time while doing press there for One More Light in March. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Mike has been playing shows in Toronto from the very start. A show in Toronto in 2000 was Linkin Park's very first show in Canada, a free show that was held by a local radio station. The band returned in 2001 for the Ozzfest, playing a blistering set that opened with 'With You' and 'Runaway.' The band played a second 2001 show there on the Family Values Tour, where the X-Ecutioners did a pre-song DJ set before 'One Step Closer.' It wasn't until 2003 on the Meteora World Tour that the band returned, playing a show in Toronto towards the start of Metallica's 'Summer Sanitarium' Tour. The band returned again in 2004 during their North American Tour, playing a packed set featuring rarities like 'My December' and 'P5hng Me A*wy.' Linkin Park didn't return to Toronto for a few years as the band members worked on other projects between the Meteora and Minutes To Midnight cycles, but that route ended up bringing Mike right back to Toronto in 2006 with Fort Minor - the only Fort Minor show played in Canada! Linkin Park came back to Toronto in 2007 for Projekt Revolution, the only Canadian date on the tour. In 2008, Linkin Park visited Ontario twice: once at the start of the year in London (not the one in England), and once again later in the summer for the infamous Edgefest, where delays caused Mike and Chester to open the set along with piano versions of 'Breaking The Habit' and 'Pushing Me Away' (this was the only time the piano version of 'Breaking The Habit' was ever played). The band returned in 2011 during the A Thousand Suns World Tour, the last show before the band had to cancel the following 5 due to Chester being sick. Linkin Park didn't make it to Toronto on the Living Things tour, but did return in 2014 on the Carnivores Tour during The Hunting Party cycle. It's been over three years since Mike's last real show in Toronto, and the crowd will definitely deliver! A classic moment in Linkin Park live history: Mike and Chester opening their show at Edgefest 2008 with a piano version of 'Breaking The Habit.' As with any other show on this tour, all we can do is expect the unexpected. We are up to four potential openers now: 'Petrified,' 'Welcome,' 'Remember The Name' (which opened one show in Milan so far), and 'When They Come For Me,' which hasn't been used as an opener yet but was scheduled to at Mike's Leeds performance. Any number of rarities could be played, from 'It's Goin' Down,' 'In Stereo,' 'Until It Breaks,' or perhaps 'Cigarettes' will get its redemption. We're still missing a couple of key songs from Post Traumatic; even though it was a false alarm, people were very excited for 'Can't Hear You Now,' and many people have been requesting 'Promises I Can't Keep.' Plus, after teasing 'High Voltage,' fans will definitely want to hear the full song soon. There are hundreds of possibilities for tonight's set, and we won't know what happens until the show! Who's going to this show? After Toronto, Mike finally hits the United States, starting with shows in New York City and Philadelphia. I'll be at both of those (+ at the meet and greet for New York), so if you'll be there, keep an eye out! From there, Mike keeps heading down the east coast with another stop in Pennsylvania and others in North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. We'll be keeping you updated on everything that happens at this show, so be be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates, and join the LPLive Discord for discussion with fans around the world (a couple members from the Discord will be at this show - be sure to say hi)!

Sorry for the mix-up about CHYN, false report. Hopefully he plays the actual song now

Seems someone requested High Voltage over the bridge of Sorry For Now. not sure if it'll happen, but it'd be great to finally have a random verse spot in the set!

Time to get back in action. After a hugely successful - and fun! - tour throughout Europe and Asia this past summer, Mike Shinoda and co. have been on break for a month to gather their bearings. Now that they've had their break, it's time to get back on the road. Mike Shinoda's Post Traumatic Tour continues on Wednesday, October 10 in Montreal, Quebec - the first show of the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour. Before we get into anything, let's get a little refresher as to what Mike was playing when the last leg of the tour ended. Mike's last leg of the tour was in Europe, ending with shows in Austria and Italy. The Italian show was at the Milano Rocks festival, where Mike opened for Thirty Seconds To Mars. The show featured a shortened set, but it was still packed with surprises, as almost every show on the tour was! Not only did 'Sorry For Now' get its festival set debut and LPL member Peppe Park joined Mike for 'Roads Untraveled' onstage, but the setlist opened with 'Remember The Name' for the first (and only, thus far) time on the tour! The night before in Wien, Austria was probably one of the most surprising nights of the tour, with a massive encore featuring the tour debut of the live version of 'Cigarettes,' 'It's Goin' Down,' and the return of 'Until It Breaks.' Mike also added 'In Stereo' into the set for the first time on the tour. This show also featured the first time 'Welcome' opened a set in quite some time, replacing 'Introduction' and 'Petrified' (which were meant to be played during the encore, but were dropped in favor of all the rarities). Watch Mike and Matt perform 'Cigarettes' in Wien, Austria for the very first time on tour! They rehearsed the song a few days prior at a soundcheck in Sweden. The precedent for adding a song to the set seems to really just be a bit of rehearsal at soundcheck, so we are bound to see a bunch of surprises throughout the tour! In other words, we haven't known what to expect from this tour on a day-to-day basis, and that certainly hasn't changed. Mike, Matt Harris, and Dan Mayo have been deep in rehearsals lately in preparation for the tour, and that could mean more surprises are on the way. Whether or not we see them appear on the first few dates of the tour is yet to be seen, but it certainly wouldn't be a shocker if we saw different songs pop up. Several songs off of Post Traumatic have yet to make their live debut: 'Nothing Makes Sense Anymore,' 'Brooding,' 'Promises I Can't Keep,' 'Lift Off,' 'World's On Fire,' and 'Can't Hear You Now.' Plus, 'Place To Start' has been absent from the setlists for quite awhile. It's likely we see at least ONE live debut on this tour, but the question is: which songs will come first, and which will bite the dust? If you asked us, 'Promises I Can't Keep' is probably the most likely to get its live debut first, and perhaps 'Brooding' will be used as an intro or transition. 'Lift Off' is another possibility, considering this tour coincides with Mike's performance at the Deftones' Dia De Los Deftones festival in November. What do you think? On top of Post Traumatic songs, Mike had been adding random songs from throughout his discography randomly throughout the tour. On the European Tour alone, almost a dozen songs made their tour debuts: piano versions of 'Heavy,' 'Burn It Down,' 'Numb,' 'Wisdom, Justice, and Love,' and 'Iridescent' were all played at some point; 'Cigarettes,' 'It's Goin' Down,' 'Until It Breaks,' and 'In Stereo' all made debuts mid-tour, and Mike even threw in acapellas of 'A Place For My Head' and 'Cigarettes' at some shows. The point is that every show is something special, both in terms of emotion and setlists. You never know what to expect, and that's not likely to be any different on this tour. Awhile back, we conducted a survey across our social media to see what songs fans wanted to hear most, and several tracks have already been played. Big fan requests like 'No Roads Left' and 'High Voltage' have yet to be mentioned, but we know we'd love to see them. What songs do you want to see Mike play on this tour? Mike first started playing piano versions of songs in Köln, Germany, starting with 'Heavy,' 'Burn It Down,' and 'Numb.' Plenty of songs can receive that treatment - what other songs would you like to see Mike tackle in this style? Let's focus in on where the tour is starting, now. The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour kicks off in Montreal, and it's been a minute since Mike was last there. While he and Chester made the trip to Canada last year to do some promo for One More Light, Mike hasn't been in Quebec since 2015, when Linkin Park played in Montebello at the Amnesia Rockfest, the last show to feature his Solo Medley (which was replaced by 'Welcome' at following shows). Mike was last in Montreal the year before on the Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds To Mars (funny how that worked out, huh) in 2014. Linkin Park's very first show in Montreal was in 2003, on the Meteora World Tour, during Metallica's 'Summer Sanitarium' Tour, which featured tracks like 'P5hng Me A*wy' and 'Don't Stay.' They returned again in January of 2004, a show that featured the famous fan Sal on guitar during 'Faint.' They returned 4 years later on the Minutes To Midnight North American Tour in 2008, where Mike performed a cover of The Cure's 'Just Like Heaven' for the last time ever, after doing it throughout the winter tours. The band also performed in Quebec last that year at the Festival d'Été de Québec, which featured a performance of the MTM Tour Version of 'Cure For The Itch.' Montreal was the first Canadian stop on the A Thousand Suns North American Tour in 2011, which was the last time until 2014 that the band performed there, as the band skipped the city during the Living Things Tour. Here's a throwback for ya - watch Linkin Park's very first show in Montreal in 2003 on the Meteora World Tour! Who's heading to the show? This will be Mike's longest tour yet, making 23 stops across Canada and the United States. The first two stops are the only shows in Canada, with the next show being in Toronto. Then, Mike hits North America with New York City and Philadelphia - I'll be at both, so if you'll be there, stay on the lookout! It's going to be a long tour, but we know Mike will keep things interested, so stay tuned for our coverage of every show! We'll be keeping you updated on everything that happens at this show, so be be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates, and join the LPLive Discord for discussion with fans around the world (a couple members from the Discord will be at this show - be sure to say hi)!

Just a little bump before the tour starts back up - what songs do you think we'll hear on the North American tour?

Even though the poster puzzle is still going strong, the 'Make It Up As I Go' music video is here! In similar fashion to this whole "pieces of the poster" puzzle Mike's been doing in promotion for the video, the music video is a very artsy one, using the effect of different pieces of paper to create different scenes. What are your thoughts on the video? Mike's on the quest to create a visual component for every song on the album - we're almost at all of them. The last video was for 'Brooding' released last month. Videos for the Post Traumatic EP songs, as well as 'Crossing A Line,' 'Nothing Makes Sense Anymore,' 'Running From My Shadow,' 'About You,' 'Ghosts,' 'Promises I Can't Keep,' and 'Lift Off' have all been released so far - we're up to 12 videos now. What song do you want a video for next? Mike Shinoda's Post Traumatic Tour is currently on a break, but it's kicking up again soon next month with an extensive North American tour - be sure to buy tickets if you haven't already!

So usually when I put together the show pages for these Hahn sets, I use Shazam to figure out what remixes/songs he's played. That didn't work out so well this time. http://lplive.net/shows/db/mrhahn/20180915 If anyone wants to help figure out which remixes/songs he played, feel free to post here.

Ghosts

Get the candles and the party poppers out, it's LPLive's birthday! 12 years ago, on September 16, 2006, Mark and Jonas - known as Hahninator and AndOne respectively - started the site as a way of accurately documenting Linkin Park's live shows so the trading community could have an accurate source of information. Since then, we've expanded in both size and purpose; we have a huge community of almost 7,000 members, a great team from around the world, and a whole lot of LP news and content to provide. 12's not a big number (though LPLive hits those edgy teen years next year), but every new year that we can do this is a great step. None of us make any money from this, none of us get any special benefits outside the LP world for this. What we get is a connection with you, and to this music. This site has given all of us - team members and site members alike - opportunities with Linkin Park, with other fans, and these shows we love to cover that we like to think other fanbases just don't have. And most of all, this fanbase has proven that time and time again, when someone falls, we'll all pick them back up. Because that's who we are: LP Soldiers. So, on our 12th birthday, from us to you, thank you for everything. We hope you'll stick around for another 12 years to come, and hopefully even more beyond that. We don't have any cake to offer, but feel free to check out a small gift LPLive style for everyone: a new Recording Of The Week in the form of an upgraded recording from Linkin Park's 2008 Milton Keynes show - the same one from the Road To Revolution DVD! If you're new to LPLive (we know a lot of you come from Twitter and Facebook) - feel free to sign up to the forums and join the discussion! We have lots to offer - we're working on more and more exclusives to share with you all (some of them coming in the next few weeks in the form of Recording Of The Week). Over the 12 long years of running this site we've released a whole lot of exclusives for ya - all of which you can find on the Downloads page, ranging everywhere from never-before heard demos to unreleased live recordings. Join the forums and say hi! It'd be a nice birthday present to get a few new members For everyone else, be sure to follow us on social media: we're on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram! Be sure to follow us on there for the latest news from the Linkin Park world. It's a bit of a quiet period right now, but in a few weeks, Mike's Post Traumatic Tour will start its long trek throughout North America, and we'll be bringing you all the first information from every show. Let us know what you're favorite memories of being part of LPLive were below and help us relive some of those memories from the last 12 years!

RIP PICK Hold It Together

y'all are fuckin nuts Hold It Together

Thanks! We would do a pre-show post if he had any feasible way of getting any updates on the show, unfortunately if we ever do find any videos even then we probably won't get much info. Not much we can say or predict about these DJ sets.

Make It Up As I Go

We've gotten quite a bit of anniversary merch this year! In May came the Minutes To Midnight Anniversary merch that featured logos and squares. Then in June came the Living Things anniversary which featured... more squares. Now it's September, and you know what that means: it's the eight-year anniversary of A Thousand Suns! As of yesterday, the album is eight years old! And how do we celebrate it? With squares! Thankfully, that last part was a lie. Instead of bringing out a bunch of designs, the band has opted for two of them - and only one of them dons a square! You can choose from the white Eagle Tee or the black Thousand Suns Tee. The Eagle Tee is pretty much the cooler one, we can't lie - the design is on point and it isn't a square (hallelujah!). Probably one of the best t-shirt designs from the band yet! The Thousand Suns Tee is more conservative on the front, featuring the albums title on the chest and the cover of the deluxe edition (the inverse colors) on the back. In square format. Both are available now on the official Linkin Park store, so be sure to nab them while you still can! Will you be buying any of the shirts? I'm nabbing the Eagle Tee - it's honestly the first anniversary design I've really loved so far. Perhaps this means the band's stepping up the game with these anniversary merch designs. The next one coming up is Hybrid Theory in October - and we know very well that they'll want to nail the designs for that round of merch. Let's just hope it's not squares. We'll be keeping you updated on everything that happens in the Linkin Park world, so be be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates, and join the LPLive Discord for discussion with fans around the world! We just launched the new LPLive Archive YouTube Channel that is loaded with hours of rare content from the Linkin Park world, and we'll also be uploading videos from the Post Traumatic Tour there, too.

It goes without saying that mental health is a very important topic for the Linkin Park community. For over a year now, the members of Linkin Park, their families, and the crew have been working hard to ensure the stigma of mental health ends. Talinda Bennington and Anna Shinoda have made several appearances on TV and has even spoken at events across the world. Jim Digby has spoken about mental health on the road. Mike Shinoda is, of course, touring for his therapeutic new album Post Traumatic that documents his own journey through grief. Mike's work doesn't end there; he's speaking today morning on the I'm Listening discussion, where artists and professionals alike will be discussing mental health an trying to put an end to it. The event takes place today - Sunday, August 9 - and starts at 7am CDT. You can listen to it live on their website (ImListening.org). Many guests will be speaking throughout the night: musicians including Jared Leto, Alessia Cara, Bebe Rexha, Charlie Puth, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, and more will be speaking, as well as professionals including Dr. Chris Nowinski and Dr. Ursula Whiteside. The event will be running all day so if you have the chance to tune in, be sure to. For a taste of what you can expect, check out this clip from Jared Leto's previously-held talk about mental health. Who'll be listening? We'll try to catch up with it on social media and tell you when Mike is on and hopefully link to his part, so be sure to follow us on on Twitter and Facebook for the latest updates, and join the LPLive Discord for discussion with fans around the world.
