Projekt Revolution 2002 is a live DVD release by Linkin Park in 2020 for the Hybrid Theory (20th Anniversary Edition).
Background
After an exhausting almost two years touring for Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park wrapped up their touring cycle for the album with a nineteen show headlining tour in the United States, followed by a one-off show in Mexico and a benefit club show in Hollywood, CA. Projekt Revolution 2002, the band's first arena headlining tour in the U.S., featured friends of the band Cypress Hill, Adema, and DJ Z-Trip.
Writing and Recording
Composition
Linkin Park's setlist for Projekt Revolution 2002 was very similar to what they had performed in 2001 while touring for the album. The familiar opening run of "With You", "Runaway", and "Papercut" remained in place, something the band would return to using in 2004 on their arena tour as well.
There were several unique songs in this setlist. "Step Up" from the Hybrid Theory EP was in the fifth spot of the set, having been debuted the previous fall. Following a delayed start to their European Headline Tour due to the September 11th terrorist attacks, the band was able to perform on September 12th in Berlin, Germany where "Step Up" debuted in the encore of the show. It stuck around in the shows for the last five tours for Hybrid Theory - the European Headline Tour, Family Values Tour, Countdown to Revolution, U.S. Holiday Radio Shows, and Projekt Revolution 2002. "Step Up" was played with a lot of back-and-forth interaction between the band and the crowd as they extended the bridge to get the crowd to raise their hands in the air. The ending was also extended for Joe to scratch on.
Another unique track in the show, "It's Goin' Down, Mike's song he wrote for The X-Ecutioners in 2001, was debuted on this tour in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on February 7, 2002 after being soundchecked for the first seven shows of the run. At its debut, it was played with DJ Z-Trip, but the first show of the filming in San Diego, CA for the DVD had The X-Ecutioners on stage for the song - the only known time that they joined Linkin Park live for it. The DVD portion of the show only has the Las Vegas, NV footage, which has DJ Z-Trip and Riff Raff stage.
Almost all of the band's talking to the crowd and between song breaks were cut entirely from the DVD for an unknown reason.
