    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 !

    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

    It first got released on LPU9 before it was released on a MTM deluxe edition, does that not count?

    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.

    Really should be including Hybrid Theory EP & Reanimation.

    In that case, why not Recharged too? :linkinpork:

    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 :)
