Somebody needs to learn to read.

Well, I'll be downloading this illegally and burning my own copy with my own artwork now since they decided to release a shitty product with a shitty name.

Should be the first week of December.

^ The intro to the Fort Minor shows was "Intro" from the FMST Sampler Mixtape.

All 4 Japan '07 shows were Dir En Grey/Yellowcard as the opening bands. The opening bands in Bangkok were Futon, Retrospect, Slot Machine, and Ebola, but I think that's already mentioned on the show info page.

The only other song that's known for sure that FM did at either of the Summer Sonic shows was Where'd You Go with Chester, there's a video of that too. And it isn't known which of the 2 shows either of the videos come from, I'm pretty sure. So that's why it isn't listed.

The second encore was after Faint, not after CFTI.

Looks fine other than the part about the Heineken Jammin' Festival - they did Reading My Eyes with Bleed it Out at that show, not SCOM.

http://www.lplive.net/shows/20080806.php - Petrified was over Points of Authority, not In Stereo. http://www.lplive.net/shows/20080812.php - Setlist is slightly incorrect. Cure for the Itch was done before Bleed it Out. http://www.lplive.net/shows/20080816.php - I think it should be noted somehow that SCOM was more of a mashup with Bleed it Out than a song by itself. They changed the key of the song so it matched with Bleed it Out, plus Phoenix and Brad both played parts of SCOM during the middle of Bleed it Out too, not just during the intro. http://www.lplive.net/shows/20080824.php - Missing the usual info about Street Drum Corps on the first/last songs.

Not necessarily. They offered refunds for the Albuquerque show and it was eventually made up. I think they just have to issue refunds because they aren't sure when, if ever they can make up the shows. If they can, then they will just sell tickets again like they did for Albuquerque. I just seriously doubt they'll bother either way, they're going back into the studio next month. They might hit those cities next touring cycle, but I honestly wouldn't consider that (or Albuquerque, for that matter) a "makeup" show.

They're offering refunds for tickets = these shows will not be made up.

I can live without Don't Stay, that song got old live about 2 years ago IMO. MK isn't the best show setlist-wise, but comparing it to LIT, it's still vastly different and does a good job showing how much the band's live show has evolved since then. The last time Linkin Park released a full live DVD, they hadn't even played Breaking the Habit live yet. The technical problems with the video screen probably won't be much of an issue - they just won't use shots that focus on the screen when they occur. Other than that, there weren't any real major problems at the show, and most of the mistakes were relatively small and can be fixed easily (let's face it, we know they'll do it). Aaaaand Jay-Z hater #1 (of many more to come, I'm sure) comes crawling out of the woodwork. No, Linkin Park can't stand on their own anymore, they just released a multi-platinum album that was the 2nd best-selling album of 2007 and it was a complete fluke. And the only officially released CC live recordings are the CC DVD and ONE SONG on the Live 8 DVD...both the songs performed at Milton Keynes are different versions than the original CC mashups, on top of that.

Well, the show is too long to fit on one CD, so unless they make this a 2CD/1DVD combo, which I doubt they will, they're gonna have to cut a few songs from the CD. They'll probably cut the Hands Held High acapella and edit out most of the encore breaks, maybe the outro to Points of Authority/intro to Little Things, the piano version of Pushing Me Away...I actually wouldn't be surprised if they left the Jay-Z songs off the CD and just put them on the DVD.

If you aren't capable of criticizing a band you love, you are not a "fan" in any way, shape, or form. You're nothing more than a sheep. Yeah, they had better shows. I think Milton Keynes is still a good show for a DVD though. They'll undoubtedly edit the show substantially more than it is on the DSP, so it's kind of a moot point what show is "better." They can make any show sound good with enough work. Visually, it should be a great DVD with the massive Milton Keynes crowd and the photogenic aspect of the venue (it's the same place Green Day's Bullet in a Bible DVD was filmed). I'm worried about the video editing more than anything. No slow-mo crap/inserting shots from different songs/seizure-inducing quick camera angle changes, please. In terms of summing up the entire Minutes to Midnight touring cycle with a single show, I think either this show or Madison Square Garden takes the cake.

A new instrumental track and some live stuff. Maybe No Roads Left.

If you're listening to it, it's Chester. There is no recording of Xero's version of Esaul that exists. All of the various A Place for My Head demos that circulate date from 1999-2000.

I think Shinoda is taking a stab at Warner. He knows they are in a fucked up situation right now, he knows the fans are pissed, he's letting us know they have so little control over things. I'd like to see them take some action and get the hell off of this shitty label ASAP. The fans are being treated like absolute crap here. Warner is guiding the LP fanbase ship right into a massive shipwreck. This is the most genius post I've ever seen by Mike, and it's got people buzzing. Everyone I've talked to, which is about 12 people, think the exact same as I do. LP is in a bad situation with this label. This could possibly be a result of the DBS situation, which is apparent IN MY OPINION that Warner has taken control of, renamed it, and fucked with it to get maximum profits, not wanting the same thing to happen with DBS as it did for FM. Shinoda is an absolute genius. I think it's absolutely ridiculous to even suggest that Warner had anything to do with Dead By Sunrise being "renamed," when it is in NO WAY confirmed that it will even be renamed at all. You do know there's a band called Death Before Sunrise already, right? Even if Chester had been able to work out Level 7, it would have become a subsidiary of Warner, just like Machine Shop. There's no way an artist under contract with Warner can create a label of their own that is completely independent. That's just the way the music business works, nobody is "screwing anybody over." Warner recieved a ton of profits from FM, I have no clue what you're talking about...?

Record labels typically automatically own ANYTHING that was recorded by an artist while under contract with them. i.e. Warner owns all of LP's demos from all 3 albums, any unreleased Reanimation remixes, etc.

I don't see the LP album coming out until at least a year from now, I actually doubt very much that it'll be out in 2009. DBS tour would depend on how soon Chester gets it out and how far along the LP album is at that point. If he gets DBS out by spring, I would say there's a good chance of a tour.

DVD: Heineken Festival ‘08 FLAC: Any of the Japan '07 shows

Mike isn't talking shit about Warner at all, and LP isn't going to leave them. All he's really saying is that the music business today is in a vastly different place than it was 10 years ago. If LP was a new band coming up today, they'd probably do things differently. Linkin Park had their opportunity to get out of their contract with Warner in 2005. Now that they've re-negotiated a new contract, there's NO WAY it will happen until that contract ends. I guarantee that Warner essentially owns and controls everything related to the band now.

Chester appearing at Unplugged was nothing more than a rumor. I believe he was in the audience though. Korn's "Korn Kovers" compilation has been delayed indefinitely and will probably never come out, due to them recording it prior to their split from Sony. Sony probably owns the rights to it. Chester's vocals have also been long-rumored to have been removed from the final mix anyway.

there all live tracks, u tool. there not gona hav live tracks, and u just cant walk out and get there CD, u have to suscribe to the LPU.....im joining LPU8, i wish they wud send u old LPU cd's tho They never said that there will be NO live tracks on LPU8. They said that it's "not a live track compilation," meaning that there will be at least one non-live track on it. They could easily put 5 live tracks on the CD along with No Roads Left, and they would still be completely correct. I hope that doesn't happen and I really don't anticipate it being the case, but it's still possible, and no reason to call someone a tool.

He said they played it as Linkin Park. They would've still been Hybrid Theory at both of those shows. And LP isn't exactly good at remembering how often they've played something - go listen to QWERTY from Mountain View '07, Mike and Chester literally go back and forth for about a minute trying to figure out how many times they've played it. Mike thought they had only played it once before.

Bryson Jones - Crawling (Bluegrass version) - on the Frat Party DVD Deena Noroian - One Step Closer (Acoustic) - commonly mislabeled as No Doubt Jamelia - Numb Josh Groban - My December Flatline - In the End Silent System - In the End Myleene Klass - KRWLNG (Instrumental piano version) Richard Cheese - One Step Closer There are a lot more, but I think those are the most notable ones.
