Inspired by LYF debut. Goal is to give an instant overview of the studio album songs (or songs from the same era) that have never been performed in their entirety, as in the studio version with potential key change, under the Linkin Park banner and with their complete old or new line-up. The list includes songs where only bits have been performed, or songs performed for example during Mike's solo tours only This excludes interludes/intro/outro to keep the focus on "full-fledged" songs that could possibly take a full spot on future setlists This includes B-sides that have been released in some form on early Deluxe Editions / Bonus Editions, but excludes 20th anniversary content, which I think falls more under "late exclusive/demo material", with little chance of being played live Will keep this updated in case of future debut. Feel free to give your rankings of the songs you'd like to be performed the most, the songs you think have the biggest chance of ever being performed, and also don't hesitate to correct mistakes / omissions I'd made ! -------------------------- Hybrid Theory EP Carousel Part of Me Hybrid Theory / Meteora Session Minutes to Midnight No Roads Left Across The Line Not Alone Blackbirds A Thousand Suns Robot Boy Living Things I'll Be gone Roads Untravelled * Skin to Bone Until it Breaks Powerless The Hunting Party War Mark The Graves Drawbar One More Light Sorry For Now Halfway Right From Zero Unshatter -------------------------- Additional comments : RU is debatable, tribute Show Version came close but technically doesn't fit thread criteria Across The Line is technically a late B-side to MTM, but never got a physical release as far as I'm aware Blackbird is tricky, can't remember if it got released physically, but including it in ATS feels weird Fighting Myself & More The Victim feel more like advanced demos than real Meteora B-sides Never realized LIVING THINGS got it so dirty Let me know if you'd prefer I include any of those, or others!
"Across The Line" and "Blackbirds" were used as bonus tracks on iTunes editions of Minutes To Midnight and A Thousand Suns, respectively, but neither have been on physical releases
Oh, that's right, LP Underground 9: Demos was a physical release for the fan club. In that context, it was labelled as a demo, and it became established as a proper B-side when it was used as an MTM bonus track
Yup, didn't mention it explicitly, but I didn't include any LPU material either. Simply studio albums and their direct physical extensions available in the mainstream, so to say.
In that case, why not Recharged too? I don't know if I agree with the "physical release" criteria. Leaves out a few good ones like "Not Alone" that I feel should be considered. Even if the chances of that song being played live ever are slim to none...
Good points. Not Alone is technically a finished song released as a charity single, with even its own video. Now that it was mentioned, I feel this one could be included, despite the lack of physical release. Trying to reach a balance of having a clear view of not-debuted main studio material per album withour overloading it with LPU demos, remix, all that stuff. That's why I didn't include content from Reanimation and Recharged, else it's gonna get really bulky, and I feel it'll loose a bit of meaning. Based on previous comments, I'll add Across The Line (finished song present on some bonus editions and streaming platforms) Blackbirds (finished song present on some bonus editions) Not Alone (charity single with a video) Carousel (HT EP) Part of Me (HT EP) Keep the feedback coming for more fine-tuning
We also just really don't know the status of the HTEP songs since the period prior to them embarking on tours after OSC blew up is not very documented. Maybe tracks like "Technique" there's a good chance haven't been performed? But hard to say definitively. Easier to not include it in my opinion. Real question is: where is "From Zero (Intro)" @Qwerty19
Fun thread, cool that we're down to so few from THP with KTTK and AFN debuting. Jokes aside, Drawbar and Session should really be on the list (the latter has never been played in full, as far as I'm aware). Being instrumentals doesn't make them not "full songs". It's strange not to keep track of instrumentals/interludes, especially since many of them have been performed in full, for example Cure for the Itch and Jornada Del Muerto.
I think it's been said by Rob (or another member) that Carousel and Part of Me had been played plenty of times back in the days, but I think that was under the Hybrid Theory label. Since we don't have recordings or dates for those 2, and as And One and Step Up were performed under LP banner, I'll keep them included (also because I love them ^^). From Zero (Intro) goes into the category of "short intro/interlude not taking a full setlist spot", I'm openly boycotting that one Very fair point, didn't think of those 2 when I mentioned intro/outro/etc. I'll add them right away.
