Finally got a moment to sit down and give you guys an update. First of all, being a native Californian, I don’t know why you East Coasters complain about this weather. Single digit temperatures and record-breaking snowfall? No problem!
Actually, we’ve had to make some adjustments to our touring plans as we’ve gone. Weather has made certain flights and trips difficult, and we’re actually looking at options on plane, train, and bus for the trip from Boston to New York tonight after the show. (If all else fails, I have a dogsled lined up for me, Chester, and Phoenix). Luckily, all the shows have gone on without any major complications so far.
We’ll be doing a bunch of interviews and a performance on SNL this week, so look for us on TV and the world wide interwebz.
Check out this rave review of our show on Technorati:

LP Tour Playlist: An Exclusive Playlist by Linkin Park by Linkin Park on January 21, 2011 7 songs 14 plays
Rate It: Avg Rating 5.0 (6 ratings) On their latest album, 'A Thousand Suns,' Linkin Park add a heavy dose of electronic music to their rock anthems, so it only makes sense that they'd bring like-minded bands on tour with them. Featuring acts like Pendulum, Prodigy, and Does It Offend You, Yeah? opening their North American tour, Linkin Park have created a playlist giving you a good idea of just how killer their live shows are going to be in 2011. Once you've gotten up to speed on their tour and the killer single "Waiting for the End," head over to mogmusicnetwork.com to download a free tour EP and win tickets to one of Linkin Park's upcoming shows.

The first show of the North American tour was last night, in Sunrise Florida. It went really well, as far as first shows go. We’ve been off tour for a month, so all the normal first show things happened (necks and backs are pretty sore, voices are a bit beat up, etc.). In general, it felt solid. Looking forward to the next show, in Tampa.
For those of you coming (or thinking about it): when you buy a ticket to any of these shows, you get a free mp3 download of your concert. The download info will be posted at the venue. You just watch the concert, and a few days later, the mp3s will be available for you. Easy, right? Even more reason to head over to linkinpark.com and get your ticket now.
Thursday night's opening show of Linkin Park's new tour, at the BankAtlantic Center near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, showed a group of veteran performers standing on a divide. On the one hand, Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, and company clearly want to explore the new, more ambient and electronic sounds of the band's fourth studio album, A Thousand Suns. On the other, these seasoned road dogs clearly aim to please their fans, many of whom have stuck with the band since its early nu metal-ish days. читать дальше So despite the MTV and radio hype surrounding the release of the new album's first and wildly unexpected single, "The Catalyst," the song was, bizarrely, never played in full during the evening. The only reference to it came through "The Requiem," which shares some of the same lyrics and was played as the band's entrance music.
Instead, Linkin Park started out blazing with a string of throbbing, rap-heavy hits that featured the dynamic Shinoda. With a longer, glossy hair-do and dark sunglasses, he looked less like a b-boy and more like Prince. Still, Shinoda is a commanding rhymer whose aggressive but controlled delivery can light up a yawning venue. His star power only shines brighter as he switches between his vocals, guitar-playing, and synth work, often on the same song.
After about the first third of the show, though, Shinoda largely receded from the spotlight as the band launched into a chunk of material from A Thousand Suns and vocalist Bennington controlled the proceedings.
Here is where the set took a turn for the somber, beginning with the atmospheric electronic coda of "Empty Spaces" and dramatically heightened by the moody, galactic slab of trip-hop that is "Waiting for the End." Even the older, frenetic "Breaking the Habit" was introduced by a bit of maudlin piano, though Bennington finished it strong by going a cappella and reminding everyone of his vocal chops.
Toward the end of the show, though, things picked up again with a slate of chart hits -- "Crawling" and "In the End" among them -- and a close-out with the explosive rap-rock anthem "Bleed It Out." Though fans had respectfully listened and sung along to the subtler songs, it was during these ragers that the mood became electric.
Wherever you happen to fall on the new vs. old Linkin Park divide, however, there's no denying the band's generosity. A series of videos played on screen before the set outlined the band's charity work through Music For Relief: scads of money to southeast Asia after the 2005 tsunami and to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, and a million trees planted throughout the Thousand Suns tour, ostensibly to offset its carbon footprint. And for the fans, there was a special SMS code to send that would generate a unique link to download audio of the evening's show.
Linkin Park has also been creative in selecting supporting acts (particularly on its past Projekt Revolution tours). Thursday night's openers further signaled the band's desire to bridge the rock-electronic divide.
Reading, England, dance-punk quintet Does It Offend You, Yeah? took the stage with little fanfare and a modest setup, but won the crowd over by the end of its brief set thanks to the force of its hefty electro hooks. Skipping its relatively subtler, vocal-driven material in favor of ear-splitting, four-to-the-floor stompers, the band showed that it has outgrown hipster dance floors and grown arena-size. Even the several-year-old club stormer "We Are Rockstars" sounded fresh again.
Meanwhile Pendulum, originally from Perth, Australia, made one of the better cases of recent years for another major mainstream dance/rock crossover, a la the Prodigy. Like those English greats, this six-piece marries dance beats with rock attitudes and textures (and the beginning of Pendulum's "The Vulture" sure seems indebted to "Smack My Bitch Up").
The main difference, though, is that even if Pendulum has publicly downplayed the connection, the band mostly skips house and big beat-type styles in favor of metallic drum 'n' bass. As evidenced by mass crowd singalongs to songs like "Witchcraft" and an unusual cover of Metallica's "Master of Puppets," the group has accomplished what Roni Size and company never could. It has created songs from the genre that would fit seamlessly into commercial radio. It just took removing all of drum 'n' bass' old Caribbean and hip-hop inflections, and then kitting it out in a platform-booted, active-rock image, to do so.
Setlist: "The Requiem" "Wretches and Kings" "Papercut" "Given Up" "New Divide" "Faint" "Empty Spaces" "When They Come For Me" "No More Sorrow" "Jornada del Muerto" "Waiting for the End" "Wisdom Justice and Love" "Iridescent" "Numb" "The Radiance" "Breaking the Habit" "Shadow of the Day" "Crawling" "One Step Closer" "The Messenger" "In the End" "What I've Done" "Bleed It Out"
