    - Xero opened for System Of A Down. This show in general is pretty interesting from a historical standpoint. System Of A Down was still a local/regional band (although a pretty well-established one) in 1997, in fact the period they were playing shows at places like the Whisky and the Viper Room was around the time they started getting major label attention (they were ultimately signed by none other than Rick Rubin that year), and SX-10 would have just formed not long before this show as well...it may have even been THEIR first show too. Mike said in one of the Sunset Strip Music Festival 2013-related interviews that Xero played four out of their first five shows on Sunset Strip.
    - In the HBO Reverb airing from the 2001 London Docklands show, it said that this very first show got the attention of Jeff Blue, who worked at Zomba Music at the time. He saw that they had potential but they were pretty far from actually "making it" so they got a little financial support from Zomba at the time. Jeff later said that he went on to see Xero play several shows after this to mostly empty venues with almost no one in attendance.
    - In a 2010 article published by NME, Mike described the show, “I remember that gig. I was wearing the most ridiculous thing ever. I had this white beanie hat on with blue goggles and white gloves, I think because it made me feel more like a performer and not the normal dude that I knew I was. So I had to get into costume in order to get psyched up and get into character. We were awful, just horrible but we survived.” Jeff Blue addressed this on his "One Step Closer: From Xero to #1: Becoming Linkin Park" book. He heard an audience member say Mike looked like a smurf. Jeff thought the performance was raw and energetic and that the band had potential but the audience lost interest about two minutes into the show. He wrote the following notes on a napkin: "Vocals off key. Awkward stage presence. Decent songs. Didn't connect with the audience."

    - Jeff Blue's book mentions 'Rhinestone' was recorded shortly before the show for inclusion in the cassette tape with the baby cover.
    - In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, Mike said, "Our very first show there we opened up for SX-10, with Sen Dog from Cypress Hill, and System of a Down. I remember really vividly that I had seen System play there before. It was the era where Incubus played there all the time, System played there quite a bit. And we played our set, which was probably 30 minutes at the time, and it was all friends. Nobody had even heard our music – they were there just to support friends. After SX-10 performed, System of a Down's set was memorable for other reasons. It turned out that a couple of the guys had smoked weed with Sen backstage and got laid out. They were incapacitated. They were two hours late to start their set because some of them were just, like, unable to function." Mike also mentioned this at the 2007 LA Club Ritual show when he said System Of A Down didn't go on "until like 1:00 in the morning" because "Daron was knocked out backstage."

    - According to Jeff Blue's "One Step Closer: From Xero to #1: Becoming Linkin Park" book, this show was a public showcase with over 30 industry scouts in the audience. This included Danny Goodwin from Virgin, Matt Aberle from Warner/Reprise, Clive Davis and Michelle Ozbourn from Arista, Tommy Mottola from Sony, Guy Oseary (who worked with Madonna) and Polly Anthony from Epic (who signed Macy Gray) as well as staff from Columbia, Capitol, Atlantic, Dreamworks and RCA. Both Jeff Blue and Danny Hayes thought this show was a bad idea because if it went bad the entire industry could decide the band wasn't worth signing, but the band insisted on playing. David Simoné from Geffen, the person who was interested in Xero, couldn't make it.
    - Before the show, Brad bribed the sound guy with $150 to make them sound good. The band was 15 minutes late and had to stop and restart the first song so Brad could re-tune his guitar. Mark Wakefield was described as being horribly off key. The band played for 30 minutes and when the lights came up only Jeff Blue, Danny Hayes, Scott Harrington and a few of the band's friends were still in the venue. They received 7 official rejections in the next 36 hours, the two executives from Geffen who wanted to hire Jeff Blue were fired, Danny Goodwin (who had shown interest in the band after listening to a demo) was fired from Virgin and Mark Wakefield was fired from Xero. Most of the rejections centered on how bad the vocals were.
    - This show was the reason the band decided to change their name to Hybrid Theory.
    - Rick Rubin, the producer of Minutes To Midnight, A Thousand Suns and Living Things, was in the audience.

    - The Backalley was opened from 1997 to 2001, then closed, then reopened as The Alley, then closed around 2008-2009. The venue should not be confused with The Back Alley Bar & Grill that is a totally different (and unrelated) club that is currently situated on the same street.

    - This show was cancelled because Chester had to attend to a family emergency in Los Angeles. His wife, Samantha, had a miscarriage. The other band members still made it to the show to hang out with fans. Jay Kereny on LPLive's Grey Daze Story: "Chester's then wife had an emergency surgery situation and Chester was faced with canceling one of the most important tour of his career after recently going Gold. I offered to take off work and nurse Samantha back to heath while Chester continued touring."

    - The band is listed as Xero 818 on the flyer. Talking to Kerrang! in 2020, Brad explained they started using this name because there were already other bands named Xero.

    - The flyer is the cover of N.W.A.'s debut studio album "Straight Outta Compton" with one extra person: Mike's dad.

    - This date came from Mike's wife Anna.

    - Andy Gould (who was partners with Rob McDermott, Linkin Park's future manager) was in the audience. McDermott couldn't make it to the show. In an interview to Brighton Lee Sagal in front of the venue Andy Gould said: "Came here seven years ago with Rob McDermott, my old partner. We saw a band called... what they're called? Xero. X-E-R-O. Changed their name to Hybrid Theory, changed their name to Linkin Park. Played in front of ten people here. I was [managing Linkin Park] for a time. But sometimes you just see, you know, you see the [talent]. And it was Rob McDermott. So I stood there like 'I don't know if this band is good or not' but he believed that passion was talent. Got that wrong every time."

    - Styles Of Beyond played across the street at the Whisky a Go Go. Once their show was over, they went to The Roxy to watch Xero.

    - The band is listed as Xero 818 on the newspaper clipping. Talking to Kerrang! in 2020, Brad explained they started using this name because there were already other bands named Xero.

    - This date came from Mike's wife Anna. On July 24, 2013, she posted an article on her blog entitled, "College, Sunset Strip, and Meeting Mike", which included some old Xero posters and a ticket stub. When we asked her for closer pictures of these items, she happily obliged and sent them to us. A grateful thank you goes out to her for submitting this information!

    - This date was discovered in July 2013 when the band was promoting the Sunset Strip Music Festival. This flyer was in Mike's personal collection and was given to LPLive as the site and other fansites participated in "Throwback Week" before the show.

    - Grey Daze's manager Kerry Rose talking about this show for Grey Daze Story: "About six months later, Chester called to say his new band was playing a show at the Big Fish Pub in Tempe. So, the first time I saw Hybrid Theory was in a small club in front of about 50 people. They were amazing. I knew then that they were destined for big things. Their first album was incredible. The rest is history".

    - In January 2018, it was discovered that the band performed a second show in Tempe the following night.

    - "Mike Galaxy Presents" Indy Hits Showcase was a weekly event aimed on music industry exposure for independent bands. It was usually held every Thursday at the now closed club called The Gig-Hollywood. Mike Galaxy himself confirmed the show for LPLive and believes this was Chester's very first show with the band: "They were signed after labels saw them at my showcase [...] Unfortunately I do not remember the date of their performance. I think it was the first show ever with singer Chester Bennington. Yes at the Gig on Melrose which is closed several years ago".

    - The show was added to the guide in November 2016.

    Show Category: showwithoutsources Notes: Yes Song No 1: 01 Song Name 1: Unknown Other Notes:

    - March 20th, 2001 article written by Mike Galaxy reads: "Formerly Halogen, Dr. Lady was one of Music Connection's best 100 unsigned bands of 2000. The band has had several gigs recently including opening for Slash at the House of Blues and for Hybrid Theory at the Troub". The band has changed it's name to Dr. Lady around early 2001, so they definitely were still called Halogen at the time. The band then ultimately changed it's name to Orson. Mike Galaxy has confirmed the show for LPLive in November 2016.

    - In the LPU chat on April 20th, 2015 Brad said his 2015.04.18 appearance at the Jakob Dylan show was his first time performing at The Troubadour. He discussed working at the Roxy and playing other clubs in Los Angeles both growing up and with Linkin Park, but said he had never played The Troubadour until this show, so it was an exciting moment for him. However, Lee Cadena's (Rap Editor at Urban Network Magazine and the creator of the Rapology CD series that started an artist management and development company in 1998 called LCM which worked with Xero) bio reads: "The first group he consulted was Xero, they changed their name to Hybrid Theory and Lee would introduce them at famous Hollywood spots like, The Whiskey and The Troubadour", so it's possible Brad is not actually correct on that statement.

    - Upon the discovery of a 2000 tour itinerary in March 2016, this date was added to the guide. It is listed as "confirmed" on Linkin Park's itinerary and it is shown on the tour laminate. However, it did not appear on the Kottonmouth Kings website with the rest of the tour dates and isn't listed on a venue website archive. It is unknown if this show even occurred, so we have it added as a canceled show unless more information eventually surfaces. We cannot confirm it ourselves so we aren't adding it as a regular show for now.

    - This is the only show that Relative Degree played together. The band consisted of Brad, Rob, Mark Wakefield, and Dave Garrett (bass player from the band Karma).

    - The show was filmed on Mark Wakefield's camcorder.

    - In the LPU 1.0 Newsletter, Rob said, "Brad and I, along with the bass player from Karma and some other high school friends started our own band called Relative Degree. Mike was making beats for a lot of local MCs at this time, but would come by and watch us practice sometimes. He never joined the band but would occasionally put his samples into our songs. Relative Degree sounded a lot like the band 311- it was rock with a funky incorporation of hip hop and rap elements. Our dream for the band was to play a gig at The Roxy, a popular club for up and coming bands, located on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, CA. When the goal was reached, the band just stopped practicing and lost focus, eventually leading to a break up and a separation of ways."

    - An MTV article from 2002 said, "It all began when Bourdon and Delson were in high school and played together in a band called Relative Degree. "We set a goal to play one show at the Roxy [in West Hollywood]," Bourdon said. "That was our big goal, so we wrote 12 songs, rehearsed for a year, played that show at the Roxy and then broke up. That was the end of Relative Degree." Shinoda, a classmate of Delson's and Bourdon's, crashed a few Relative Degree practices and fostered a strong friendship with Delson. He created a few samples for them but was more interested in making beats for local MCs. "We always just figured we were in two different worlds," said Delson, whose head looks naked when not wrapped in his signature headphones."

    - In a 2011 LPU chat, Rob said, "Relative Degree played 1 show and then finished, their goal was to sell out the Roxy so when they accomplished that goal they stopped."

    - The date of this performance was confirmed in the MTV The Ride documentary. The image included on this page is taken from that documentary.

    - Show photos provided by Dave Garrett. One of them was used in the artwork for the Xero demo tapes.

    Source 1: Video - PROSHOT (Unknown)

    Taper: Marc Ostrick

    Time: 2.5 hours~

    Format: ?

    Comments: Filmed by Marc Ostrick for his "Lockout" documentary series that was first uploaded to YouTube in 2006 (1, 2). For the full raw footage, over $10,000 is wanted.

    Notes: Yes Song No 1: xx Song Name 1: Rhinestone Song Notes 1: Forgotten demo Song No 2: xx Song Name 2: Slip Song Notes 2: Post LPU 11 Version Song No 3: xx Song Name 3: Esaul Song Notes 3: A Place For My Head demo Show Notes:

    - In the video footage that is shown during the documentary, we can see Hybrid Theory rehearsing three songs. The rehearsal was two and a half hours long and until the full footage is obtained, the setlist is incomplete. They played early versions of 'A Place For My Head' ('Esaul' at the time) and 'Forgotten' ('Rhinestone' at the time) as well as 'Slip', which was unknown from 2006 until 2011, when it was released on the LP Underground 11 album. While we know 'Esaul' and 'Rhinestone' were definitely played live, this is the only known performance of 'Slip'.

    - The performance of 'Slip' is a different version of the song (probably "further along" song-wise/a more worked-on version) than the version released on the LP Underground 11 album.

    - Joe is seen scratching DJ Qbert's "100mph Backsliding Turkey Kuts" vinyl while playing a beat from DJ Babu's "Super Duck Breaks...The Saga Begins."

    Other Notes:

    - The band's rehearsal space at the time called HiFi Hollywood was located on Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. They would rehearse there for upwards of six hours a day during the week.

    - Scott Koziol is on bass in this performance.

    - The date for this rehearsal was found in May 2016. The exact name of the rehearsal studio was found in October 2016.

    Alien Ant Farm, Hoobustank, *, Boy Hits Car, Kundalini

    Show Category: showwithoutsources Notes: 0 Song No 1: 01 Song Name 1: Unknown Other Notes:

    - The Backalley was opened from 1997 to 2001, then closed, then reopened as The Alley, then closed around 2008-2009. The venue should not be confused with The Back Alley Bar & Grill that is a totally different (and unrelated) club that is currently situated on the same street.

    - This show was added to the live guide in September 2016 after the discovery of news clippings from November 1999 advertising the show. It was, however, addressed in a few different sources several times before that. The LATimes article from December 1st, 2005 titled "Age-appropriate entertainment" mentions: "This is actually the second go-round for Barnum's club. He ran the Backalley at this same locale from 1997 until 2001, booking mostly weekend shows (some which wound up being more historic than others, like the night when then-unknowns Hoobastank and Hybrid Theory -- later to become Linkin Park -- shared a bill)".

    When rockrevoltmagazine.com asked members of Boy Hits Car about their best memories of them teaming up with big names in music industry over the years, the band members also seemingly recalled this show: "Supporting Stone Temple Pilots in Europe, playing festivals that were headlined by names like Iggy & the Stooges, Eminem, or The Prodigy, gigging at LA clubs in the mid 90’s with bands like Incubus, System of a Down, and Linkin Park before they really broke, then supporting em all years later, generally sharing stages with so many great artists and bands in general…".

    Kundalini's bio on their Soundcloud page reads: "Originally formed in Nashville, Tennessee with Danny's brother Marcos on bass and Brian Rhodes singing, after a short period of time the band decided to relocate to Southern California. Ian Horak and Damian Young both played bass at various points in their history and the band enjoyed playing with several prominent bands of that time period such as: Hybrid Theory (Linkin Park), Papa Roach, Hoobastank and Alien Ant Farm".

    - This is the band's second known show in The Backalley, with the first one being their 1999.08.20 gig.

    - "Hoobustank" was the actual spelling Hoobastank went with at the time.

    - The Pricks opened Hoobastank's (spelled Hoobustank at the time) very first show in the summer of 1995 at Doug Robb's parents' backyard.

    - Hoobastank filmed their set in VHS. It was confirmed by Dan Estrin in an interview to AltWire in 2022 that the VHS includes The Pricks footage as well.

    - Members of both bands had been friends since long before The Pricks was formed and to prepare for the show they stole stages from their local high school in the middle of the night, set them up in Doug's backyard and hired security, charging a dollar for admission. Around 150 people were in attendance.

    Other Notes:

    - The Pricks was a band Brad Delson and Mark Wakefield played in before Relative Degree and Xero.

    - This date was discovered in January 2018 when researching Hybrid Theory (band) dates.

    - Reportedly, almost no one came to the show. The band took a long time to get prepared to play and ran way into their set time. The promoter told them to end their set and the band refused, so the promoter cut the sound and the band continued playing with the power to the PA off.

    - According to a different report, the band had technical problems with instruments and microphones during the show. Chester got so pissed, he threw his mic and left the stage, but Mike rushed after him promising everything will get fixed.

    - According to a member of the band Size 5, Hybrid Theory opened for Size 5 that night. The band consisted of Jay and John Kereny (Lemon Krayola), Barton Applewhite (Kongo Shock) and Chuck Moore - close friends of Chester and Grey Daze. Size 5 also served as Chester's backing band for his pre-production live session when he was preparing himself to record his audition tape for Xero. The band was also thanked by Chester in Hybrid Theory booklet.

    - According to a concert listing from Arizona Republic's August 26th, 1999 issue, the band PHD were the headlining act for the night.

    - This show was a frat house Halloween party at Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) Delta Theta Chapter at California State University. Thanks to Dave Garrett for the venue name and songs played.
    - The band members were dressed as characters from the movie Dead Presidents.
    - Xero entered the studio on August 25, 1998 to record a demo produced by Darryl Swan. Afterwards, Jeff Blue sent out the demo to record labels and the only one who showed interest was Danny Goodwin (VP of A&R at Virgin Records). He was in the audience for this show and passed on the band citing how off key Mark Wakefield sounded live.
    - In the unauthorized documentary "Conspiracy Theory", Mike Giangreco (Brad's boss at The Roxy and Whisky A Go Go) recalls the band used to borrow his sound systems for free to play at frat parties. The only condition was that they'd carry everything themselves and put them back in his garage afterwards.
