Show Notes:
- First time that 'What I've Done' ever opened the live set. A new intro was added to it.
- First time that 'Valentine's Day' was ever played live.
- First time that 'A Place For My Head' was played since the Sao Paulo, Brazil show on September 11th, 2004.
- First time since 2004 that 'One Step Closer' closed the set again.
- First time ever LP played in Hannover.
- 'Petrified' verse 2 was over 'Points Of Authority'. The song also featured a new outro.
- 'Given Up' had a new outro.
- 'Crawling' was performed with the Reanimation intro, the same intro LP used during the Japan 2006 shows. Chester is barely audible at this show singing "Crawling in my skin", etc over the intro, but he is indeed there.
- Even though it was moved up in the setlist, 'Bleed It Out' still retained the drum solo.
- 'Breaking The Habit' featured a new intro once again, as well as a new outro that was different than their outro at the Japan 2006 shows.
- 'One Step Closer' had a new, extended outro.
- Mike performed a short cover of The Cure's 'Just Like Heaven' on keyboard and vocals after 'Numb'.
- This is the fourth time that 'My December (Piano Version)' was ever played, but the second time the 'new' version has been done. It's also the first time that Mike sang his vocals on the piano version of the song ever.

Other Notes:
- The Live CD was sold at this show, which was a complete surprise.
- Clips of the show were shown on MTV and ZDF.
- Thanks to Chesterchaz for the setlist!
- Tapers notes: "The show was the greatest i've ever heard and ever been to (counting 2 lol). The worst part was some drunk german idiot ;] The security was not that tight, other fans were 100% sane and helpfull (thx to the blonde chick for using her cell lol). During the show one of my mics slipped off from my shirt, Chesters mic went off during Crawling and the right speakers fucked up. And last but not least: thx to Max (Chesterchaz) for the opportunity tu use his rig and tape the show in good quality! p.s. Where's my beer? :P"
