Linkin Park - Bleed It Out Live in Red Square, Moscow, Russia
In the summer of 2011, Linkin Park was riding high on the release of their album "A Thousand Suns," which had hit stores just two years prior. This innovative album showcased a bold experimental approach, pushing the boundaries of their nu-metal roots and incorporating elements of electronic and progressive rock. Their live performance at the Transformers 3 premiere in Moscow, held on June 23, 2011, was not just a showcase of their hits but a testament to their evolution as artists. The setlist, featuring tracks like "New Divide" and "Papercut," illustrated their ability to engage and energize a festival crowd, blending old favorites with new explorations. Interestingly, this show highlighted their peak popularity, as they were quickly becoming a dominant force in the rock scene, and performing in such an iconic location added a layer of excitement for both the band and fans alike.
