Linkin Park

In February 2005, Linkin Park was riding high on the waves of their second studio album, "Meteora," which was released just a year earlier and contained massive hits like "Somewhere I Belong" and "Numb." This live recording at the Music for Relief benefit concert showcased their rising stardom, as Linkin Park was rapidly becoming a dominant force in nu-metal and rock. Collaborating with Jay-Z for this special performance was a pivotal moment, illustrating their openness to genre-blending and widening their audience appeal. Notably, the concert aimed to raise funds for victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, underlining the band's commitment to social responsibility and community engagement. Such moments not only displayed their musicianship but also their dedication to using their platform for good, making it a powerful and memorable event in their career.
