Show Notes:
The band performed One Step Closer and had the X-Ecutioners come out on the extended bridge to do their scratching parts.
Mike's microphone at the beginning was very low when he tried to get everyone pumped up for the song. Other Notes:
The day before the show, Linkin Park did a rehearsal with The X-Ecutioners at a local rehearsal studio. Photos exist.
The day after this show, the whole band attended the System Of A Down show at Irving Plaza in New York City. Sources:
