Astat

Good catch! Didn't notice the absence of the bass in the first verse because I was listening through laptop speakers. The bass in the second verse of ATL has always been synth though -

The Live 8 sampler was actually a CD (not a DVD like lpliveusername said) so technically speaking, it's the only audio release of Numb/Encore from that show.

The version of FTI on this sampler is NOT from Live in Texas (that Faint promo was released to promote the Faint single...long before LIT). Pretty sure it's the same one from the Numb single. FYI, those 3 tracks were also bonuses on the cassette version of Meteora in certain areas (I know Indonesia was one).

Why would it get taken down? Anyway, listened to the whole MTM album. No musical differences other than SOTD and NRL. The mix is vastly improved with some parts being easier to hear than they were before (the strings at the climaxes of Valentine's Day and In Pieces were the most notable things I noticed), but that's probably more due to the remastering than having different recordings or anything like that.

Tunecore/CDBaby/Discmakers etc. + Brazil not being particularly tough on the distribution of bootlegs (as well as a lot of their "music business" in general being really shady) = PROFIT!

That's just the transition from the end of Figure.09 moved forward by like...half a second, if that, lol. Instead of starting with the gunshot, it has a little bit of the "fade in" before it that's normally at the end of Figure.09. Pretty sure that's how BTH is on the single version too, it's basically just the radio edit. Same with SIB, the intro starts in a slightly different spot than the album version does.

No different than them ending up in physical retail stores, which has been happening for years.

The LPU 2.0 CD in general is a piece of crap, mastering and overall sound quality-wise. Someone screwed up big time on that release. Shame we'll probably never get good quality versions of Dedicated and A.06.

Yeah, definitely seems like a mistake for a few reasons. But here's some trivia! This is the first pre-Minutes to Midnight live track to be released since Faint and From the Inside from Summer Sonic 2006 were released on the What I've Done CD single. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I THINK this is the first Hybrid Theory-era live track to be released since Step Up and My December from PR 2002 were released on the Somewhere I Belong CD single!

Mark's guess was a good one - High Voltage is from Wantagh 2001! http://lplive.net/shows/20010809.php

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Weird that it's literally the exact same clip of the song though.

LOL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. The version of SOTD on the Studio Collection is different from the one on the Deluxe Edition! Compare this sample with this sample. EXACT same section of the song, two different versions! How the fuck does shit like this happen?!

WHOA! SOTD is a different version! The little synth pad thing that Joe plays during the choruses has been replaced with strings!

It could just be as simple as them having several different "final mixes" of songs, then when they have to dig up the master tracks for a new release years down the line, they don't check which one ended up being the "final final" one, lol. Kind of like how the version of Robot Boy on LPU 11 was the same mix as album version but with a different vocal track on it.

I really doubt the audio is all from Dallas - just compare the LPU 3 version of Don't Stay with the one on the DVD for instance, two different performances (Mike says different things to the crowd during the breakdown). They obviously recorded the audio from both shows and used them both to some extent.

It's a bootleg that somehow made it onto iTunes. The cover art is fucking awful.

It's always been the studio version on every release until now. Sounds like it might be RAR 2001 actually.

Linkin Park has been erroneously using the term "demo" to describe basically any non-album track they release, dating all the way back to Step Up being labeled as a "1999 demo" on the In the End single in 2001. Across the Line is a completely finished Minutes to Midnight b-side that was literally the last song cut from the album, according to Mike.

No...why would it be?

$30 for 6 albums is a good deal...but who's seriously going to buy this? There's no new bonus content to give people a reason to buy these albums again, and someone who's interested enough in LP to buy 6 of their albums at once probably already has all of them!

You're kinda right - just looked through the archived pages. They had Songs From the Underground on there at one point (it's not there anymore), which is where the QWERTY lyrics were: http://web.archive.org/web/20120107044718/...the-underground And yeah, totally wrong lyrics on there, lol. *Edit* They had LPUX on there at one point too: http://web.archive.org/web/20111206183504/...round-x-demos-1

I wasn't aware that there are or ever have been lyrics for QWERTY on LP.com? None of the LPU stuff has ever been in the discography on there...

There are TV commercials airing for the Grammys with no mention of LP as a performing artist, so I really doubt that's happening.

Pooch mixes/records all of LP's rehearsals these days. Don't really see why a release of something like that would be worthwhile (unless it was some unusual thing they did during rehearsals that never made it to the live show). The end result would pretty much just sound like a DSP without crowd noise. Also, I love how Brad can be either seen or heard working on the acoustic guitar part throughout almost the entire video. Transposing chords to a guitar with the A string tuned down to F is probably a nightmare.

The original idea for SDC was that they were going to perform as a processional after the rest of the Revolution Stage bands were done - they'd start on/near the Revolution Stage and perform while walking over to the main stage, where they'd finish up. I'm guessing that turned out to be a logistical problem, because it never happened, so they just had them open up the main stage. No idea why they were listed as openers on the original flyer though.
