Joe Solo

Background

Joe's Solo Medley was a solo performed Joe on The Hunting Party World Tour. It marked the first time Joe had a full spot in the setlist dedicated just to him - he had brief moments, including his "solo" in "With You" and brief interludes used in setlists in 2001. The song is comprised almost entirely of samples of other Linkin Park songs. It samples parts of "Wretches And Kings", the "Victimized" remix from Recharged, "Buy Myself" and "Plc.4 Mie Hæd" from Reanimation, "Cure For The Itch", and "Session".

When Linkin Park played their first comeback show of 2024 at the Forum in Los Angeles, Joe debuted a new solo spot in the show. It featured new member Colin Brittain on drums as Joe played a variety of samples and scratches. The very beginning of the intro features an extremely brief sample of the vocal sample that starts "Cure For The Itch" that Joe scratches.

Live

Joe's Medley debuted at the first show of The Hunting Party touring cycle, at KFMA Day 2014. The song remained virtually unchanged throughout the cycle, appearing mid-set after the shortened "Robot Boy". Because Joe had to leave the 2015 European Tour early due to a family emergency, the medley was dropped from the setlist at these last shows, even though his tech Warren Willis was there to replace him. The medley returned for the few shows following the tour.

Joe's solo spot in 2024 debuted on September 11, 2024 at the Forum in Los Angeles.
