Linkin Park Live in Chiba: Summer Sonic 2013 Full TV Broadcast Performance
In August 2013, Linkin Park performed at the QVC Marine Field in Chiba, Japan, during their Living Things Asian Tour. This live recording captures the band in the midst of a significant phase of their career, just after the release of their fifth studio album, 'Living Things,' which came out in June 2012. The album marked a stylistic shift, marrying their signature nu-metal sound with a more accessible, electronic vibe. Interestingly, this was also a period of intense touring for the band, as they were reconnecting with fans following the release, blending crowd-favorites with newer tracks. Chester Bennington's dynamic stage presence and Mike Shinoda's seamless mixing of rap and rock are palpable in this performance, encapsulating the energy and emotion that have always been a hallmark of Linkin Park's live shows.
