A Place For My Head was performed for the first time since 2010.10.25 Paris when it was played for a one-off performance for the Hybrid Theory 10th Anniversary. The song featured a new, extended intro and an extended outro. It was also the first time it has opened a show since June 8, 2001 in Tinley Park, IL.
Random drum samples started playing during the first verse of "Faint". This is very audible in the webcast and TV versions of the show.
The sample part of the intro to "Somewhere I Belong" was stopped and restarted.
Chester went into the crowd on the bridge of "Somewhere I Belong" until the end of the song, the end of "What I've Done", and on the first verse of "Crawling" until the end of the song. Mike went in the crowd on "In The End".
Chester messed up the lyrics to the first verse of "Crawling".
When Chester was in the crowd on "Crawling", someone draped him with a big scarf for the FC Porto soccer team and the Lisboa fans let him know they weren't happy with it! When Mike was in the crowd on "In The End", fans tried to put a Lisbon team scarf around him unsuccessfully.
Bleed It Out featured the Beastie Boys' Sabotage bridge.
After "Bleed It Out", the intro sample to "Papercut" started right away but Mike said something like "Hold on a sec". The intro was stopped immediately and after a few seconds he said "Alright Pooch, crank that shit up" before the song restarted.
Debuts
This was the first time that "Lies Greed Misery" was performed live.
Other Notes
The band did not play last at the festival. They were in between The Offspring and Smashing Pumpkins (who played after them) on the bill.
Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit (who played earlier in the day) gave a shout out to Linkin Park during the LB set and sang part of "In The End".
The DSPs (Digital Souvenir Packages) for Rock In Rio and Pinkpop were not offered for presale until May 28, 2012. This is the first time DSPs were not offered for presale before the tour started since they began on January 24, 2008 in Nottingham.
