Top 10 Best Linkin Park Live Performances

From massive festival stages to intimate venues, Linkin Park consistently delivered unforgettable shows that brought their unique sound to life in a way studio recordings simply can't capture.

Their energy, precision, and connection with the audience made every concert a moment to remember.

1. Live in Rock am Ring 2004

   The last Linkin Park performance for the promotion of Meteora! After this, the band went on to Collision Course. But the crowd was jumping during each and every chorus.

   The best songs played there were A Place for My Head and In the End, just because the crowd had gone mad, singing these songs before the band, and Mike had to control them all!

   100% emotion and power. Their best live performance ever.

   This was their best performance.

2. Road to Revolution - Live in Milton Keynes 2008

   This is one of the best live performances, featuring JAY-Z for two songs. The whole crowd was dancing to all the songs. Mind-blowing!

   Mind-blowing concert! I was there. Unfortunately, many of the songs played were eliminated from the DVD, but the atmosphere was incredibly energetic!

   This is my favorite. Great atmosphere, beautiful setlist, beautiful sunset. It was a great performance overall. Chester's voice was on point. I felt they did magic that day.

3. Live in Texas 2003

   This is the only concert where the band breaks some of the instruments. The Angry Young Men! But the whole concert was just awesome and worth seeing.

4. Hybrid Theory - Live at Download Festival 2014

   Linkin Park performed their mega-selling debut Hybrid Theory in its entirety for the first time, 14 years after the album's release! Probably no LP show in recent years had as much energy as this one! Simply amazing.

5. A Thousand Suns+ - Live in Madrid 2010

   The concert was full of energy. Even though it was too cold, the crowd was dancing and enjoying the whole live performance. The band gave a new intro to the concert by playing "Wretches and Kings," which made the crowd jump!

6. Living Things+ - Live at Telekom Street Gigs 2012

   The new Linkin Park with their new music! The concert was just awesome! Played in Berlin, the band was about to release their new album "Living Things," and so they included this concert as a bonus edition DVD!

   Living Things is a great album with so many easy-listening songs that can make everybody love Linkin Park.

7. Live in Rock am Ring 2001

   When they were more nu-metal and, in my opinion, better...

8. Live from Red Square, Moscow 2011

   The concert where the single "Iridescent" was released and played for the first time. The show also won the "Best World Stage Performance" award by MTV. The intro of the concert was simply awesome and then continued into the song "New Divide." The concert was performed to promote Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

   Breaking the Habit, What I've Done, Waiting for the End - all of them were really perfect, and Chester's voice was super clean, especially during Breaking the Habit. That was Chester's top performance of that song, and the other performances are not even close.

9. Hurricane/Southside Festival 2017

   One of the last Linkin Park performances with a best-of set and an awesome crowd.

   Chester had a perfect voice, and even the new songs fit perfectly.

   Such an intimate moment when Chester sang One More Light and Crawling with the crowd.

10. iTunes Festival 2011

    Also known for the performance of "Rolling in the Deep," which is considered the best cover made in 2011. The band was performing in England for the first time in three years. Their previous performance was "Road To Revolution."

13. Chester Bennington Tribute Concert, Hollywood Bowl 2017

14. Rock am Ring 2014

15. Rock am Ring 2007

    Chester's voice sounded like he had a demon inside, and it was awesome. Every song was perfect. He didn't pass the mic to the crowd during Faint when he yells I WON'T BE IGNORED! - he screamed it, which is very rare. He performed Crawling flawlessly, a song that Chester himself said is very hard to sing. Shinoda played the Breaking the Habit intro on a piano while Chester sang. The crowd was alive. The intro song was One Step Closer, and the closing song was Faint, but Chester's scream at the end was scary cool. You have to watch it. You won't regret it. They also played Given Up, and Chester did the 17-second scream perfectly. This seemed to be Chester's last good year for his voice. After 2007, it began to slowly decline.

16. Oeiras Alive 2007

17. Collision Course - Live in Roxy Theatre 2004

    Surprise! The crowd was surprised by the band including JAY-Z for all the songs. They played all the tracks from their new album Collision Course, which also topped the Billboard list and many other charts, making it the second most successful EP.

18. Live from Madison Square Garden 2011

    The second-best concert in 2011 by the band. The concert was streamed live on Fuse.TV. However, the song "Breaking the Habit" was eliminated from the stream.

19. Live in Webster Hall 2007

    The best concert ever known for promoting any album in New York. The setlist was perfect for the crowd to jump and dance.

20. Rock'n Coke 2009, Istanbul

21. Hunting Party Tour 2014

22. The Hunting Party: Live at Mexico 2014

23. Anaheim 2005 (Music for Relief: Rebuilding South Asia)

24. Docklands Arena 2001

25. Somerset, Projekt Revolution Tour 2004

    For me, the best setlist they ever created. The band was on fire, and the show had special guests such as J. Davis, Bert McCracken, and Ivan the Urban Action Figure.

    This concert was a live experience we'll never see again. Compared to those over-edited DVDs like 'Live in Texas' (which is a mix between two shows, so not a real show in general), this had a raw sound recording with a REAL live feeling! Check it out on lplive.net!
