A Thousand Suns - Live Around The World
More actions
On May 30, 2012, Linkin Park announced: "To celebrate the release of their new album LIVING THINGS on June 26, Linkin Park has partnered with Spotify to release a set of "best of" live compilations to correspond with each of their albums. These Spotify exclusive albums contain some of the band's favorite live performances of each song through the years and will be released each week leading up to June 26. Listen HERE starting May 31. To purchase full Linkin Park live recordings click HERE."[1]
Via Spotify, iTunes and other online digital outlets, Linkin Park released a series of these compilations to fans to lead up to the Living Things release. All of the tracks came from the band's Digital Souvenir Program (DSP) shows that were released between 2007 and 2012. However, due to some songs not being released via DSPs since they were not played live during that period, songs were missing from each release.

- Missing: "The Radiance", "Wisdom, Justice, And Love", and "Fallout".
- Notes: The DSPs were going strong at this point, meaning almost everything from this album was released as well. "The Radiance" was only performed once as it was on the album and that show had no DSP. "Wisdom, Justice, And Love" faced licensing issues from the Martin Luther King Jr. family, so that's probably why it isn't here. "Fallout" is a questionable omission since it was performed at almost every show of the touring cycle. "Blackout" is mislabeled. The recording is actually from Homebush in 2010.
- Highlights: "The Requiem" is from a sold out show in London for LPU Summit #1, "Empty Spaces"/"When They Come For Me" are from the fourth performance of the song, in Paris. "The Catalyst" is also from that show. "Waiting For The End" is from the sixth performance of the song, but the first in Europe. "Burning In The Skies" is from LPU Summit #4 in Hamburg.
