Linkin Park

In August 2006, Linkin Park performed at the Summer Sonic Festival in Chiba, Japan, right around the time of their album 'Minutes to Midnight.' This concert showcased the band’s evolution towards a more mature sound, following their previous album, 'Meteora,' which had cemented their fame with hits like 'Numb' and 'Somewhere I Belong.' During this live recording, fans were treated to the intense energy and passion that the band is known for, particularly highlighted in the song 'QWERTY.' Interestingly, 'QWERTY' was a unique addition to their setlist at the time, as it was never officially on an album and emphasized their willingness to experiment. This performance not only captured the spirit of their leading singles but also marked a pivotal moment as they prepared to redefine their sound in the subsequent album release.
