Linkin Park performs Numb at Summer Sonic Festival in Chiba, Japan
In August 2006, Linkin Park took the stage at the Summer Sonic Festival in Chiba, Japan, showcasing their electrifying energy in a performance that many fans still cherish. This live recording came just after the release of their critically acclaimed album 'Meteora' and while they were in the midst of their meteoric rise to fame. 'Meteora,' which debuted in 2003, solidified their signature nu-metal sound and included hits like 'Numb' and 'Breaking the Habit.' By 2006, the band was riding high with enormous popularity, performing to packed audiences worldwide. This performance at Summer Sonic captured the band in their prime, brimming with confidence and dynamism. An interesting fact: 'Meteora' was the last album they recorded before they ventured into a more experimental phase with 'Minutes to Midnight.' Watching this concert, you can feel the electricity in the air, a reminder of why Linkin Park became such a defining force in the 2000s music scene.
