Linkin Park's third show of their European Tour for The Hunting Party takes them back to Köln, Germany on November 6th. This is a city that LP has visited since all the way back in 2001, making this their sixth show in the city. This is a bit of a longer history than normal for a city on tour, but it's an interesting one as Köln actually has some cool facts about it in the Linkin Park world. Most preshow posts don't hit this length, but you might learn something about the city below.
On March 11, 2001, the band stopped by the Palladium on the Deftones' 'Back To School' Tour across Europe with Taproot. There's a rare proshot video of With You from the show...if you have it, let us know! Later in the year, Linkin Park came back and headlined the same venue on their European Headlining Tour. Chester performed Karma Killer with Cyclefly and Control with Puddle Of Mudd, but unfortunately no recordings exist as far as we know.
Moving on to the interesting stuff.... almost seven years later, LP returned to play Kölnarena in 2008 and actually debuted a new setlist at that show (Setlist S at the time), which contained the live debut of In Between! It was the very first time that the long intro to No More Sorrow had been played in the middle of the set and fan favorite Points Of Authority and the set closer combo A Place For My Head -> One Step Closer were all included. However, it was noticeably one of the first setlists to omit Papercut, although the other two sets on the tour had it included. While Papercut was in just one of these three setlists to start the tour, it was quickly added to a second one before this show.

It was this tour in 2008 that began Linkin Park's massive touring in Germany, which continues to this day as this tour has NINE shows in the country. 2008 had seven shows in the country of Germany, which was the most of any country outside of the United States. That's actually more than England, which the band used to tour quite a bit until 2012; this tour has just three UK shows compared to Germany's nine.
This show is at LANXESS arena in Köln and Linkin Park has played there several times before the show on November 6th. They headlined this venue in October 2010 for the sixth show of the A Thousand Suns European Tour. This is the show that LP changed the setlist at the time up by swapping Papercut and The Messenger for Lying From You and Leave Out All The Rest, which were both unrehearsed at the time. Interestingly, Mike admitted (at the London Summit later in the tour) that the change was due to feedback he read on LPLive from the setlists on that tour. Cool! But hey, don't get any ideas...... ha! Oh yeah, our picture with him and the red LPLive shirt came from that show too! LPLive staff member Jonas shot a GREAT video of Lying From You at that show and he'd probably kill me if we didn't include it in the post...so here we go:
Finally, in between (see what I did there?) Rock am Ring and Rock im Park performances in 2012, the band stopped by the venue to play Burn It Down for TV total Autoball EM in a show that we think MIGHT have been lipsynched due to it being a very random one song TV performance. Chester's vocal track from the Rio+Social event that May is almost exactly the same as the one in Köln. A subliminal tweet by a certain crew member (we are refraining from naming them) after the fact pretty much confirmed it, but feel free to speculate away.
Two shows have been completed so far on this European Tour. The band played Zürich (Set B) on the 3rd and thenStuttgart (Set A) on the 4th. In Stuttgart, Crawling was dropped for an unknown reason, Mike skipped the With You rap on the Until It's Gone intro (messing Joe up too) and Rob skipped the Bleed It Out intro. Hmm. It seems that these two setlists will rotate all tour between B and A, so it should be pretty easy to determine which one you're getting if you're going to a show.
After this show in Köln, the 12th LPU Summit in Amsterdam takes place the very next day on the 7th! We expect to see many of you there! After Amsterdam, the band dives right back in for four German shows in a row by hitting Oberhausen, Hamburg, Leipzig, and München. See you guys on the road! Who will be at the show in Köln?
