    - 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."

    - Before 'In The End', Mike promoted an early LPU-style "Bags of Fun", for (as Chester calls them) "the 3 craziest fuckers in the house".
    - Mike messed up the lyrics in the first verse of 'In The End'.
    - Chester sang part of 'Esaul' (the demo for 'A Place For My Head') during the chorus of 'A Place For My Head'.

    - To pump up the crowd and get them to jump, Chester screamed 'Get up! Get up! Get up when I'm talking to you!' during the bridge of 'One Step Closer'.

    - One of the first instances of Chester vomiting (or pretending to vomit) on One Step Closer can be seen at this show, on 'One Step Closer', where Chester sings, "One Step Closer to the edge and I'm about to raaablarrarghraraa!"

    Other Notes:

    - This show was not a part of a tour, it was for the radio station 98KUPD which played a lot of Linkin Park songs when they were just getting started. Many of Chester's friends and even some of his family in were attendance.
    - Music photographer Jim Louvau was the singer for Victims In Ecstacy. This is the show that started his friendship and work relationship with Chester Bennington. He told Sunray Magazine in 2021: "Chester and I met in 2000 when we played a show together in Phoenix, Arizona where we are both from. Linkin Park hadn’t released Hybrid Theory yet and we were just a couple dudes in bands at that point. He watched my band’s set that night and really liked what we were doing, I honestly only caught a very short part of their set that night but we kept running into each other at shows that year and we just became friends. I was able to capture him in numerous projects over the years, on and off the stage, and he’s a huge part of where I am today as an artist. After he passed away I wanted to honor him and share work we created together so I put together a photography exhibit that showcased some of what we did over the years. The exhibit may travel to other places at some point when it’s safe to do so."

    - This is the first known audience recording of the band and the first DVD too.

    Comments: Full show. Released by LPLive on August 2, 2013 as a part of the Sunset Strip Music Festival "throwback week". Show was streamed online before the DVD was posted. Forum post: "There simply is not a better time for this show to surface than right now, to end the SSMF "throwback week" with the Linkin Park fansites and the LPU. What show you might ask? Linkin Park at the Roxy on September 5th, 2000! This show was recorded by the band for a potential 'One Step Closer' live video, but until recently, there was no video out there of the song, much less the entire show. We didn't even have a setlist!"

    - After 'Points Of Authority', Chester mentions that the show was sold out.

    - The band messes up a lot during the show - Brad forgot to change his guitar setting correctly on the 'Runaway' intro, Mike messes up the lyrics on the bridge of 'And One', and Brad broke a string on 'One Step Closer' for example.

    - Before 'In The End', Mike asks if anyone heard them on the radio before the show. He dedicates the show to everyone that helped get them on the radio.

    - Crowdsurfers come on the stage and jump back into the crowd on 'A Place For My Head' and 'One Step Closer'.

    - Chester thanks KROQ after 'One Step Closer'.

    Other Notes:

    - According to Jeff Blue's "One Step Closer: From Xero to #1: Becoming Linkin Park" book, this show was sold out and only happened because of the success of 'One Step Closer' on KROQ.
    - The show was recorded by the band for their single 'One Step Closer': "Linkin Park will be recording their show at the Roxy in Los Angeles on September 5th and will possibly using some of the live footage from it in the forthcoming video for their current single, "One Step Closer." The track is the first single from the group's upcoming debut album "Hybrid Theory" which was produced by Don Gilmore and will see a release on October 24th through Warner Bros."

    - Footage from this show was used in the 'Points Of Authority' music video.

    - Due to a series of confusions, the recording of the band's 2000.09.16 House Of Blues show in the same area ended up being mislabeled as this show in The Sapphire among Linkin Park fans and, since then, was believed to be Linkin Park's earliest show recording in circulation, until the mistake was resolved in May 2016.

    - According to Jeff Blue's book, the band decided to change their name from Hybrid Theory to "Plear" on May 1, 2000. A few days after May 9, 2000, they changed it again to Linkin Park.
    - "Interesting footnote about May 27, they told the fans they were changing the name from the tiny 10x10 stage that night, I'm not sure but that could be the first show they played as Linkin Park. They may have played under the new name in Cali prior but I really dunno."

    - A very old and blurry ticket stub from this show helped to confirm the date and location of this performance.

    - This show was sold out. The tickets were sold in three minutes.

    - Brad in an interview later in 2000 answering "the biggest audience LP had played in front of": "We played an Atlanta radio festival show with a number of really great huge bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Deftones, Incubus, Papa Roach among others. And the official crowd number at that show was 18,000. There were two stages, so we probably ended up playing for close to 10,000 people, and that was a pretty amazing feeling. The most incredible rush I've gotten onstage, however, actually occurred at Roseland ballroom in NY because there were probably 4,000 people packed into a club and the entire crowd was reacting to our music. Or at least that's how it felt. Someone might have been talking in the back, but onstage it was pretty amazing."

    - The Kottonmouth Kings Tour was in Norfolk, VA at NorVa Theatre this day, but Linkin Park played this radio show instead.

    - 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.

    - Mike rapped the first two lines of 'SuperXero' (the demo for 'By Myself') during the first verse of 'By Myself'.
    - This is the show the semi-popular Chester quote came from, 'Peace, love, happiness. Take care of each other'..take care of your friends'..take care of your family. Hey, if you wanna smoke weed, smoke weed. If you don't wanna smoke weed, don't smoke weed. This is fucking America, you do what you want to do because you have the right to do what you want to do. And if anybody tells you any different, what do you say? FUCK YOU!'

    Debut(s):

    - Sometime between the St. Louis show on the 6th and this show, 'By Myself' was added to the setlist. This is the first confirmed show where it was played, but it is likely that the band played it earlier in 2000 at some point or even 1999 when the song was called 'Super Xero'. The band changed the setlist too, dropping 'Cure For The Itch' and 'And One', changing the order up, and putting 'A Place For My Head' as the set opener.

    - 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.

    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.

    - If you happen to have or know a full or partial setlist for this show, please let us know!

    - Review of the show:

    "Club-hopping in Hollywood is great. As many shows as there are on any given night, it is always a difficult task to choose when and where you want to be the most if you're an avid music fan. Late 1999, and the year 2000 have been an incredible time when it comes to new talent, which has made going to see concerts a monumental task if you're only one person. Last night, we narrowed it down.

     

    Our friends at Andy Gould Management were intuitive enough to have forwarded us a CD advance by a band called Hybrid Theory about a month ago. Immediately taken by the sheer magnitude of talent in this band, both Brian and I were anxious to experience their live performance. Last night was only the first of hopefully many shows we will be attending in support of Linkin Park (formerly Hybrid Theory).

     

    Emcee Mike Shinoda (one of two front men, and main rap vocalist) welcomed us and showed appreciation for their predecessors, Half Cocked (who we unfortunately missed) by thanking them for leaving the microphones smelling "fruity and fresh". After that, it was full speed ahead into what became a passionate and energetic performance by Linkin Park. The entire audience occupying the Whisky was already feeling the buzz surrounding the band that had a sound rumored to be a blend of hardcore, hip-hop, and electronic music with similar overtones from bands like Shorty, Tenfold, Simon Says, and even Professional Murder Music.

     

    It would be an understatement to say that we were blown away. Chester Bennington (a complete Godsend on vocals) worked the crowd with his lively performance and astonishing singing voice, while Linkin Park's killer DJ Joe Hahn scratched and mixed with total style. This guy rules! Guitarist Brad Delson, sporting headphones and a great vibe, threw down with totally solid riffs that danced fluidly with the band's killer drum and bass team.

     

    Linkin Park played an amazing set including just about all of the tracks that audiences will hear on their upcoming release in October. Needless to say, there wasn't a single Linkin Park cassette sampler left on their merch table!

     

    Speaking to Chester after the show furthered our opinion on this great band. He candidly gave us a brief account of how he came to be a part of Linkin Park, "I'm originally from Arizona, and the rest of the guys are from here, so I was, you know, living in my car for a couple of weeks, and before you know it, things were happening. I feel really blessed right now. This is great. I'm just looking forward to getting out there [on tour]."

     

    Keep a close eye out for the new Linkin Park release. This band is sure to explode on the scene when the word gets out further. Catch them live if you can; you'll be sorry you missed them if you don't. In the meantime, visit the band's website, at www.linkinpark.com. We sincerely appreciate and thank the band's management and publicity staff for bringing the music of Linkin Park to us."

    - This was the first show of the first national tour the band ever was a part of.

    - The show was presented by 98Rock radio station. The price of admission was only 98 cents.

    Tour Diary:

    We arrived in St. Petersburg, Florida, after driving almost three-days-straight from Los Angeles (we did shower once). Fortunately, the ride was smooth and we only got really lost once (partially my fault). Unfortunately, when we arrived in St. Pete, looking forward to finally getting half-a-night's-rest, our tour manager got stuck in the hotel elevator. An hour later, the fire department had managed to free her from that evil machine. We opened up for a band called Union Underground, who we'll be touring with for the next three weeks. The show was awesome and the people we met at the State Theater were super-friendly. Special thanks to the street-teamers who were representing in the front. We can't wait to meet all the Linkin Park streat-teamers and supporters who catch us on our current tour. Keep checking the website for more journal entries and information on shows. Thanks for your support,Brad (a.k.a. Big Bad Brad)

    - 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!

    Comments: 'Papercut' cuts in halfway through, so 'Cure For The Itch' and the first part of 'Papercut' are missing. The recording is not that great. You can hear Chester clearly, but Mike is barely audible. This was rumored to have been an audience recording for years but we believe this was some sort of webcast.

    - After playing with them but never talking to them directly in Arizona earlier in the year, this is the show where the band finally was able to meet Papa Roach. Linkin Park sat on the side of the stage for their set, and Papa Roach did the same for them. There were a few girls in the front row during LP's set who kept yelling "Coby! Coby!". After becoming friends at the show, this is where/when Papa Roach invited Linkin Park to open their December 2000 tour for them. According to Jeff Blue's "One Step Closer: From Xero to #1: Becoming Linkin Park" book, Papa Roach had already heard the band's material back in October 1998 when they were called Xero and loved the music.

    - Brad in an interview later in 2000 answering "the biggest audience LP had played in front of": "We played an Atlanta radio festival show with a number of really great huge bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, Deftones, Incubus, Papa Roach among others. And the official crowd number at that show was 18,000. There were two stages, so we probably ended up playing for close to 10,000 people, and that was a pretty amazing feeling. The most incredible rush I've gotten onstage, however, actually occurred at Roseland ballroom in NY because there were probably 4,000 people packed into a club and the entire crowd was reacting to our music. Or at least that's how it felt. Someone might have been talking in the back, but onstage it was pretty amazing."

    - Money raised from the show was donated to Angelflight.

    - The Kottonmouth Kings Tour was in Chicago, IL at House of Blues this day, but Linkin Park played this radio show instead.
    - In October 2021 with the release of Hybrid Theory 20, the interview with Linkin Park around the release showed proshot clips of this concert.

    - The show took place on Halloween, which was Chester and Sam's anniversary (Chester mentions it during the show).

    - This was Scott Koziol's last show with Linkin Park. According to Jeff Blue's "One Step Closer: From Xero to #1: Becoming Linkin Park" book, a couple of days after Halloween he had lunch with Brad and Phoenix who announced Phoenix was returning to the band.

    - In late 2000, fansites posted that Linkin Park would be performing on an upcoming episode of "Farmclub." LPLive found this while researching the band's past history and in 2017 finally figured out what it was. On July 21st, the day after Chester passed, Jonathan Solin posted on Facebook, "Years ago, when I worked for the great Farmclub, I was sent to interview an unknown band at the old Palace in Hollywood. We interviewed Linkin Park in a ratty dressing room at the venue and they came off as young, likeable, funny, goofy guys. When interview over, Chester ran down street to give us free tix to the show that night. It was a great show. We never aired that segment cuz they weren't known yet. A month later, the album came out and exploded. They had a ton of hits and I liked them very much. This was the song they played for us that day." This confirms the date and performance. The video is unreleased.

This was on Stocker Street in Glendale, the source of the "Ten PM Stocker" alternate band name idea and the story of Mike's neighbors getting mad about the noise while Chester was recording the vocals for 'One Step Closer'.

    - Shawn 'Clown' Crahan of Slipknot owned this club back in 1997 for about a year when it was called 'The Safari Club'. As Slipknot got huge though, it became too much to manage and had to be shut down, it later re-opened as Hairy Mary's.

    - This is the first known performance of these ten Linkin Park songs.

    Tour Diary:

    I actually threw up in my mouth in Des Moines. This is a good story though. We were playing in Des Moines, Iowa at Hairy Mary's. There was no air conditioning and it was during the middle of the day. The club is tiny. We showed up at noon and everyone who was going to be watching the show was already there drunk and wasted. We got there, set up our stuff, and got ready to play. People had been there for a while and it smelled bad. It was humid and horrible. We played a full set and two songs before the end I couldn't breathe. I was running around like a madman and got nauseous and threw up. I didn't want to throw up on anybody so I kept it in my mouth and swallowed it. And then I drank a fat glass of water to wash it away and continued with the set. Brad almost passed out. At the end of the show Brad was resting on his Marshall cabinet or he was going to pass out it was so hot. It was a very difficult show for us.

    -Mike

    - This show was an expected crowd of 500, but over 5,000 people showed up. Traffic was completely jammed.
    - The band performed a soundcheck before the show while the crowd was there. 'Points Of Authority' and 'Forgotten' are confirmed by the video recording but it's possible other songs were played too during soundcheck.

    - After the show, the band signed autographs on free calendars that were given out in Best Buy.

    - We do not have a list of other bands at the show, but Linkin Park headlined.

    - In 2015's podcast with LP Association, Mike mentioned that people still come up to him and say that they saw Linkin Park play in the parking lot of a Best Buy, referring to this show.

    - The Kottonmouth Kings Tour was in Norfolk, VA at The Boathouse this day, but Linkin Park played this radio show instead. This was the second radio show in two months that caused LP to skip shows in Norfolk. A press question came up about this later...

    Q: "Linkin Park has been scheduled to be here in Norfolk, Virginia twice, and each time they have chosen to play a radio show instead. This is happening again on November 11th. I told the band when I met them in Richmond to come to Norfolk, but each chance they've had they've played somewhere else. What do you have against Norfolk?"

    LINKIN PARK - Mike: "I've never been to Norfolk but I hope to play there someday. The unfortunate thing is that when our label or our management hears of a radio event where we can play in front of a large number of people, they'll usually pull us out of a smaller show so that we can play there. It's just a coincidence that it's happened a couple times in Norfolk. We have nothing against it, we have a bunch of street teamers from there, in fact. We hope to play there at some point."
