Linkin Park

In June 2009, Linkin Park was riding high on the waves of their most recent album, 'Minutes to Midnight,' released just a year prior. At the time of the Transformers 2 premiere, the band had solidified their place in the rock and nu-metal scenes with hits like 'What I've Done' and 'Bleed It Out.' This live recording outside Mann's Village Theater in Los Angeles captures their electrifying energy in a special moment, blending the worlds of rock and blockbuster cinema. It's fascinating to note that this performance came during a period of transition for the band, as they were experimenting with their sound and would soon delve into a more electronic vibe with 'A Thousand Suns.' This live appearance showcased their adaptability and crossover appeal, further establishing Linkin Park as a cultural phenomenon.
