Linkin Park Live Performance of 'With You' at Rock am Ring 2001
In June 2001, Linkin Park was riding high on the success of their debut album, 'Hybrid Theory,' released the previous year. This album not only catapulted them to stardom but also made them a defining force in the nu-metal scene. The live recording from Rock am Ring captures their explosive energy perfectly, showcasing how their unique blend of rap and rock resonated with fans. Interestingly, this was a time when they were still basking in the rays of their breakout single 'One Step Closer,' which was dominating airwaves and pushing their recognition further abroad. This period marked a crucial turning point for the band, whereby they began to solidify their status in the music world. It’s fascinating to reflect on how such performances laid the groundwork for their enduring legacy.
