Linkin Park Live Guide - 2005 Summary

Summary: Linkin Park kept it short and simple for 2005. After touring extensively for Meteora, the band took a year off to be with their families and work on side projects. Fort Minor got its start in 2005 and Chester worked on Dead By Sunrise. The band played a show in Anaheim for Music for Relief: Rebuilding South Asia and had several guests come out. After playing three hits, Chali 2na came out and joined them for FRGT/10, which was the first time it was ever played. Then, after an outro into Breaking the Habit and then Crawling, Jay-Z came out and they went through all six Collision Course hits. This would be the third time Jay joined them for the collaboration onstage. In July, Linkin Park played a concert for Live 8 in Philadelphia, after Bono from U2 invited them. They played Crawling, Somewhere I Belong, Breaking the Habit, and In the End, followed by Jay-Z coming out for his own song Public Service Announcement, and then the first four songs from Collision Course. This would be the first time the band never closed with One Step Closer, and started the reign that continued into present day with it not ending the set.
