Linkin Park Live @ Smokeout Festival 2003

[Shekcious]

It took 7 years for Mike to write such a masterpiece...From 1996 he was thinking about this, and the saw Chesters problems, and in 2003 he wrote it...

[xHybr1d]

This is incredible.

[Ivywemissedourchance]

HEY I WAS THERE HIGH AZ HELL!!

[andidenbrutale]

This is the first performance of Breaking the habit.

[Theorcman2008]

the best one is at webster hall look into it trust me

[joebolla131]

hahah u can see smoke in the lights everybody is smokin buddah



[alexsan4ezvolkov]

like Chester is about to cry while singing this song... it seems his voice is trembling a bit...

[XXXXpredator]

linkin park r true pot heads

[Excellerators]

@XXXXpredator Wtf is that supposed to mean?

[Novelboy2112]

@Excellerators Well Chester has hinted in a recent interview that some or all of them smoke weed. I doubt that's what he was trying to say but it isn't untrue.

[RYUNOMI13TADEH]

I'm breaking the bieber I'm breaking the bieber TODAY! I've posted on his walls!!!! that he's the one that should fall!!!! I'll never say this again!!! coz HE REALLY SUCAAAACKS!!!

WHOOOOH! LINKIN PARK ROCKS!

[XxJ0HNEExX]

[VIL388]

[she3zy9]

[Alexx26794]

<3~ I wish i could get a chance to see their live performance =(

[MrCheslp]

Love it

[Aalex1213]

Linkin Park FOREVER<3!

[MrCheslp]

Aalex1213 yes

[RYUNOMI13TADEH]

THIS ROCKS!

[BlackSteach]

I think he was really cry at this song,because it was first perfomanse of this song life..

and Chester was so emotional...remind his past..

[linkingal]

@xXLinkinParkXxYaby What do you mean by "he only got a ''best 50 goals'' video" Can you please elaborate? And, I do not think that anything that I have done would justify you calling me an idiot.

[koutoun3454]

no way this is in 2003 :OOO

[ChrisLP02]

Any chance the full show will be up on youtube soon?

[LinkinPapa777]

why is chester's voice became so ... his voice was so much powerfull!!

[TheMonkeyboy84]

THATS NOT 2003!!

[Loletam]

@TheMonkeyboy84 Actually it is, 15.11 to be exact

[Southparker42]

linkin park is the best fucking band since 2000

and before that it was grey daze and sean dowdell and his friends, the pre bands of lp with chester as vocalist!!!

[HipHopeJay6]

Actaully I think chester was here before sick or something like that because his voice is going down, but good perfomance at all :)

[Hohenhaift]

sta bien shevre gracias por subirlo

[ezkemimaenomedejan]

La Primera vez que se tocó Breaking the Habit en Directo. A mi parecer, es la mejor interpretación de esta canción que Linkin Park ha hecho nunca. Dan ganas de llorar de lo bien que lo hace Chester.

LP Rocks! :)

[guinnypig007]

Yes Mike wrote this years earlier, so it's not for Chester, but it applies on him though.

This is the first time they played it live, something they had earlier claimed never to do.

Great performance, LP rocks!

[Traiannnn]

it doesnt' tell about chester, but chester had the same things, so yeah you can say it's about chester, but it's not meant to be about chester. savvy?

[Linkinparksoldier]

very nice footage..do we have more like this? =D

[IN0te]

very touching performance. Breaking the habit tells about Chester, right?

[PierreFrenchFiremen]

Yeah, Mike wrote this song for Chester! The song talks about the drugs problem of Chester!

[Traiannnn]

your wrong, mike wrote this in 1997, when he didnt knew chester yet, lots of people think this is going about chester, but actually it isn't its just that actually, chester has the same problems as in the song, but mike didnt knew that before.

[Cherrygirl12100]

It's truth O_o

[PierreFrenchFiremen]

Best performance! Chester is touching in this performance! I think he is really feeling the lyrics, he is totally in the song and that's so good!

[ch4zz7]

[LP]

It's no need to say anything else..

..just great !

[LikeShinodaSkill]

I agree =) very impressive

[LP] -4-ever..

[bracomole]

The best perfomance of breaking the habit!

[tobyiy]

@bracomole got to disagree  watch this! its awesome com/watch?v=oxbqvMRz_WQ

[carterfelderva]

Dude needs some vocal lessons, seriously, fuck.

[jellybean454]

[Hunt3rTPH]

[xthegamex88]

Espectacular canción.

Salu2

[lucianop11]

[siwclan]

[mharvz14]

[mharvz14]

[LPInsiderMan]

Good! Good! Good!

[cofee18girl]

[000xxxMJBGxxx000]

the guitarist(or bass i dont no) is the same but without beird and hair or is another???

im a fan of lp

i´m really sorry my ignorance...-.-'

[Bajannez]

It's the same guy, Brad Delson, he just grew an afro and a big beard for the last tour. It's pretty short again now actually.

[000xxxMJBGxxx000]

thanks...i started to listen lp musics recently...that explain why i dont new that

2 bad coment on me...wow :O

sorry xD

[linkinparker13]

very emotional<3

[001MUSICFREAK]

awesome what a performance that is lp at its best

[bkcin86]

Awesome.

[PointsOfAuthorityY]

Love it.

U can see how hard it is for chester ...

Chester is so emotional in this song :)

[jjjoie]

Love this performance!

[EvOoba]

awesome!! great perforance :D

[PickNickProductions]

he's sweating, not crying

[18chester11]

SKVELE bravo Chester

[purfectw0lf]

he must be nervous cuz in every live u could see him sweat

[Linkinpark666x]

i love it !

[lpmikeshinodafan]

Man...Chaz is so emo in this vid.

I like it.

I like the fact he's letting his feelings pour out of him.

I sing too, so, I know how it feels.

And...its weird 'cause I sound like Hayley from Paramore.

[Naxilos]

OMG! Chaz is so emo???!!! You like it?! Are you POLACK?! :P

[lpmikeshinodafan]

Beautifull!

[HPAndHG4ever]

Beautiful. This is probably the best version of BTH. Chester is amazing!

[linkingal]

Chester is a great guy, just born in the wrong family... Linkin Park will always soar to higher heights. You can probably see him crying in this video and another video where he sobs so loudly into the mic and turns around (back face fans) at the end of the video.

[ibetucantreadme]

Really? Can you give me a link to the other video?

[linkingal]

it's live in toronto by pop1030 just search the song and read the description.

[CLIK90]

@linkingal can you give me the link of the video please?

I would really like to see it

Thanks in advance

[linkingal]

@CLIK90 It's live in toronto by pop1030. just search.

omg u guys are sadistic barstards lol

[CLIK90]

@linkingal I'm terribly curious!! :)

thank you very much!!

[leo2102]

Guys taht was the first Breaking teh habit performace live , it was very emotional for Chaz sings it , cause this music told a piece of his past , ;x

[whatiwasgoingtosay]

It's crazy to watch him perform like this, knowing how he feels about it, and realize that Mike was the one that wrote it. I think it really speaks to the power of music to transcend personal experience and tap into raw emotion.

[SamiMocha]

Towards the end, Chester was singing slightly faster than the band was playing, almost as if he just wanted the song to end.

Very emotional, I felt so bad for him during that song, but amazing performance all the same.

[hybridbennoda]

lol when brad came i was thinking "who the hell is that?" haha i was so used to his afro that i didnt regonize him! ....*feels stupid* and yea i know he doesnt have the afro anymore XD

and 3:44 . chester looked REALLY emotional there , must have been hard to perform this song for the first time

(fans know why its emotional for chester ^^ )

[danishinoda]

Chester is so emotional in this song, i liked it.

[jakecal]

IM THE ONE CONFUSED!!!

[leo2102]

BTH first permormace live . Perfect , just that .

[musiclord98]

[bleeding1core]

hax i´m peru genial video

este es el primero de breakin the habit cierto?

LP YEHHHHH

GRAX MAN SIGAN SUBIENDO EN ALTA CALIDADA

[aeiuee]

jak zwykle Chesterek nie zawiódł, ale wydaje mi się że potem juz mu lepiej BTH wychodziło, bo teraz sie chyba za baerdzo wczul w te emocje i wydaje mi sie ze strasznie cierpiał kiedy to śpiewał :(

[lplikevery]

ооо.......замечательное выступление))) просто нет слов ,как передать чувство, которое испытываешь при просмотре....а какие чувства испытывает Честер, это уже отдельная история)))

[MoOdesta]

omg , it's wonderful. i can't stop listening this. awesome. Chester.. you're best of the best ;D love LP.<3

[musiclord98]

wow great song video was good too

[lerkid]

This was Their First time playing This song Live

[rmdchester]

no my friend :)

[shadycroat]

every time i watch this video, it just amazes me even more. chester, man, you did great

[mshinoda18]

Gosh, I love these guys....

Chaz struggled through the song.

Absolut amazing...

[LinkinParanoia]

i love it. great quality. great live.

LINKIN PARK ROCKS.

thanks for uploading.

[skaja4ever]

xXXkieranXXx  -----> Chester was addicted heroin and cocaine?

[elyXchaz]

yes...

[whatiwasgoingtosay]

I don't think he ever said heroin.

[anothersun1990]

Yeah, he is crying...

Very sad performance. But I still love - 'cuz It's the first time they are playing this song, and it sounds beautifull! It's very easy to forget that you've heard that song for thousands of times when you see this video.

[0melon1992]

wow! It sounds little differently from newest versions :)

[hehewucz]

omg NICE !

[klp2372]

AWESOME

[prisonbreakhunt]

OMG..u can see how hard it is for chester

[Linkinpark666x]

awesome ! omg LP ForEver !!!

[xXXkieranXXx]

first ever performance of it, does not disapoint, u can hear how hard it is on chester in his voice

[jdole41]

awesome song, great performance

[Hahninator]

daaaang! awesome!

thanks so much! that is so great we're finally able to see the first performance of this song.

[chazmike07]

Wow!!! Thanks for sharing.

Really nice performance.

Chester did really good for the first time he sang it live.

[Manutdsucks]

3:42-3:47 he looked like he was crying, wonderful performance.

[xXXkieranXXx]

he was crying, the song reminds him of when he was a teen, addicted to heroine and cocaine, and this was the first time he could even bring himself to play it live, and it is the first ever performance of it live too :)

[theUnicornOfPower]

wow! Chester's voice sounds much more raw than in most recent performances of this song. also the piano intro is played slower now.

[elitexero]

The first time Breaking the Habit was played live.

Thank you for sharing, from the whole LP community, we really appreciate it :)

[Meteoralogist]

THANKS SO FUCKIN' MUCH

[omarzk1]

was saying "fukin" necessary.  douche

[Meteoralogist]

Hey, you know what, scumbag ? If you can't go with others' enthusiasm, so go hide yourself in a wood, in the middle of nowhere, ok ? Just because I said " fuckin' ", you say I'm a douche ? And how close-minded are you ? Geez, people are so agressive, those days.

[astatslpvids]

...It's the Internet. People swear. Fuck shit piss ass cunt. Get over it.

Anyway, cool to see some footage from this show, thanks for being so generous.

[hyola]

this is beyond wicked!

[linkingabo2008]

great

[Busta311]

Wow! That's amazing! Chester struggled, but that was expected at the time. Great performance! They look so young back then.

[linkingabo2008]

why was it expected that time?

[Fran07Chile]

because he really relates to song, thats why it took him a while to sing the song live.

[linkingabo2008]

yeah....

[omarzk1]

he relates to every song obviously, but this is the first song where he really had to slow it down and sing it his heart out without screaming. but as chester says " i got over it" lol

[Busta311]

Because the song was too emotional for Chester to sing at first.

[linkingabo2008]

yeah...I didnt know it was the very first performance of the BTH...thanx

[abzayz]

first performance of BTH!!

[InTheEndlp]

Thanks you for sharing Scott.

[lpyeastlp]

Nice and awesome show of Linkin Park....
