Linkin Park

On September 14, 2001, Linkin Park delivered an electrifying live performance at the BBC Radio 1 Studios in London. This recording came shortly after the release of their groundbreaking debut album, "Hybrid Theory," which had dropped just a year earlier in October 2000. At this stage in their career, the band was riding high off their initial success, rapidly becoming a defining force in the nu-metal scene. Interestingly, this was also a time when the band was beginning to transition from underground favorites to mainstream icons, a shift that would only accelerate in the months to follow. The energy captured in this live recording vividly reflects their raw, unapologetic sound, while also hinting at their burgeoning popularity in the early 2000s. A moment frozen in time, this performance showcases how quickly Linkin Park was evolving during those formative years.
