Linkin Park

In 2005, Linkin Park was riding high on the success of their album "Meteora," which had been released just a year prior. This album solidified their place in the nu-metal scene with hits like "Somewhere I Belong," the very song they showcased at Live 8 in Philadelphia. The event was part of a larger movement to raise awareness about poverty and famine, and Linkin Park's passionate performance reflected their dedication to social causes. Interestingly, their set at Live 8 was not just a show; it symbolized their evolution as a band, blending rock with hip-hop influences that defined their sound. This live recording captured the energy and emotion of a band that was fully embracing their platform just after their meteoric rise to fame.
