09.01.12 - Calgary, AB, Canada

[Zane]

As the month of September begins, Linkin Park is set to perform on their first Canadian tour date in Calgary, AB, Canada at the X-FEST. With only three Canadian dates during the Honda Civic Tour, fans eagerly await to hear performances of both new and old material. Being a festival date, the concert will feature seven other musical acts including Young The Giant, The Joy Formidable, and more. As a reminder, LPU Early Access will NOT be permitted at a festival tour date.

The band's previous performance in Denver, Colorado on Thursday brought a slightly reformatted Set B and introduced, for the first time, IN MY REMAINS into another setlist other than Set C. The concert marks the first time that all seven LIVING THINGS songs (LOST IN THE ECHO, BURN IT DOWN, IN MY REMAINS, VICTIMIZED, LIES GREED MISERY, TINFOIL, and UNTIL IT BREAKS partially) were performed during a single concert event. Will this set reorder be continued in the remaining half of the Honda Civic Date? Will Linkin Park include the additional performance of POWERLESS in future dates? Continue following the Honda Civic Tour to find out!

The concert also marked the first on stage collaboration between Linkin Park and Incubus when Incubus' Mike Einziger joined the band during Bleed It Out. Catch the performance below:

Good to see my two favourite Mikes on the same stage together.

[Spitz]

Now I'm hoping that joke about Einziger working on a remix was actually a confirmation.

[Hybrid]

Zane Ninja'd me on this news post. Here, Zane... Add this video in to your news post.

I'M GOING! With VIP tickets!! First time seeing Linkin Park live EVER, and i've been a fan since Hybrid Theory. Its their first time being in alberta. Hope they open with With You or APFMH

[Jeff]

Damn that performance was sick.

[LohithMohan]

Was that mike wearing a hat? Doesn't suit him anymore.

Me too :]

It said VIP tickets gave you early entry. Does that mean we can just waltz in whenever before the gates open?

[TheZlajaZlo]

I'm going to write them a letter!

[Netherwood]

That was awesome!!! glad to see that Linkin Park And Incubus are finally collaborating on tour.

Also Does anyone think since they are in Canada for the next couple of tour dates that they might debut "I'll Be Gone" at some point over the next few days?

[LP_Evan]

Sick collab, but why was Chester half-assing BIO? And btw Zane, Set C was the first set to feature IMR, not A.

Just checked, thanks for letting me know!

[LP_Evan]

No problem!

[Faint into Pieces]

Glad to see LP back in Canada! Now if only they would have circled around and came back through Ontario... Then I'd finally be able to see them

Anyways I hope Brad was taking notes during that performance! Watching those videos I haven't seen a crowd that pumped up about guitar work in an LP concert since the early days of Faint's extended outro way back in 2007.

[Rezanator]

How come Brad doesn't shred more often? Why doesn't he play more solos during concerts? This is one of my few complaints regarding LP. I would love to see Brad take part and maybe stage a guitar duel with Mike Einziger. He should bust out his guitar skills and let it rip. I KNOW fans will love it!

I'm not sure if Brad even writes guitar music anymore. Not a diss, but I remember Mike joking how most of the guitar work in Living Things were done by him and Chester. Seriously...

In My Remains might have been up/down a slot or two, I remember them playing it relatively early.

Whoever wrote it, the guitar in Living Things is a little uninspiring... don't get me wrong, I like the album, but there's nothing distinctive or stand out in there. It doesn't even have to be particularly complicated - just look at pretty much all the riffs on Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they're simple but snappy and memorable. Minutes to Midnight had some interesting guitar parts too that were a bit more sophisticated (In Pieces solo, LTGYA). The extent of the guitar work in Living Thing's is fast, repeated down-strumming patterns that pretty much get absorbed into the background of the song. Only hardcore fans would recognise the In My Remains guitar part if it were played on it's own, but pretty much an entire arena of people will go crazy when they hear the OSC or Faint riff.

I'd love to see a little bit more from Brad... the guitar is hardly an alien instrument to him so I'm sure he's capable, there's no way he could have gone 10 years in one of the worlds biggest rock bands and not picked up anything to show off with

It's alright to call a turd a turd. This album was easily their worst album to date. I'm actually disappointed to see all the news material in the set list as I will be attending the show tonight in Edmonton. Obviously though it's expected as they just released the CD. Honestly aside from Lost in the Echo(brutal music video though) the album is the most disappointing one from LP.
