Linkin Park

In August 2009, Linkin Park was riding the success of their album 'Minutes to Midnight,' which had been released just over two years prior. The band was in a vibrant phase, showcasing their unique blend of rock, metal, and electronic influences, that had garnered them a massive global following. Their performance of 'Shadow of the Day' at the Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo perfectly captured the emotional depth and melodic richness fans had come to love. Notably, this live recording was not just a testament to the band's extensive touring in support of the album but also highlighted their ability to connect with audiences through heartfelt lyrics. Interestingly, 'Minutes to Midnight' marked a pivotal moment for the band, as it was their first album produced without longtime collaborator Don Gilmore, reflecting their evolving sound and artistic direction.
