Later, on the last day of the tour (Metallica's hometown of San Francisco), we were allowed to go on stage and pull a little practical joke on Metallica, a feat that (as we were told) no band in twenty years has been allowed to do. The LP Underground 2 Newsletter offered some insight, 'Toward the end of the tour, Lars Ulrich put on fuzzy, pink bunny-ears and big green 'Hulk'-fists and invaded our stage to mess around with us during our set. The band also pranked Metallica back on the final date of the tour in San Francisco, CA. Lars Ulrich of Metallica came out during Linkin Park's set in Houston, TX to pull a prank on the band, and this can actually be seen on the DVD during From The Inside. Mike said the biggest mosh pits of the tour came from the Los Angeles, CA show.ĭuring the Seattle, WA show, someone threw something at Chester during Crawling, and Chester whole heartedly cursed them out. Phoenix sprained his ankle during A Place For My Head at the Houston, TX show, which you can actually see happen on the Live In Texas DVD. Evansville, IN and Little North Rock, AR were never made up. They played in Rochester, NY, Council Bluffs, IA and Valley Center, KS. The band performed several make up dates for Projekt Revolution 2003 during off dates of the tour. Instead of booking an original show, it was just another stop on Metallica's Summer Sanitarium tour. In 2003, the Dysfunctional Family Pinic was called 'DFP 7-Tarium'. K-Rock in New York City held annual Dysfunctional Family Picnic (DFP) events on-and-off from 1997 to 2008. The tour kicked off in Pontiac, MI on July 4th and ended on August 10th in San Francisco, CA. Later, Mike commented that he knew Metallica fans would be like 'what the hell' when Linkin Park brought a keyboard out to play Numb mid-show.

Interestingly, P5hng Me A*wy remained in the setlist from Projekt Revolution 2003.

There was a short intro before Don't Stay at every show entitled the 'Devil Worship Intro' which sampled Dead Skin Mask by Slayer and the movie Cromwell. The set opened with Don't Stay and ended with One Step Closer and did not feature an encore. The band used only one setlist the entire tour, which was a new setlist for the touring cycle.

It likely was the same setlist as Summer Sanitarium, and was the warmup show for the tour. Figure.09 and Numb were both debuted at the show, but that's sadly the only real information available about the show.

However, Linkin Park did play one show before the tour on June 27th in Las Vegas, NV for the Boost Mobile Pro of Skateboarding. Our fans really are the best in the world. I also wanted to say I truly appreciate the tens of thousands of get-well emails I got from fans. I plan on playing our warm up show in Las Vegas on June 27th, and ripping everyone's face off this summer on SUMMER SANITARIUM. We are working on when we will be making up the missed European headline dates, and I am really bummed we had to miss the festivals. My doctors and nurses were amazing, and very helpful during my stay. Right now it seems like it was some bacteria or virus that spread throughout my intestines and body, putting me in intense pain. I finally got out of the hospital over the weekend after 9 days, and the doctor instructed me to rest for the next 2 - 3 weeks.

We wish him the best, and will keep everyone posted as to his condition.'Ĭhester also had this to say about the cancelled shows, 'First of all I'd like to thank everyone from fans & bands to my friends, and the hospital staff who have been very supportive and understanding of my situation. All touring and video shoot plans in Europe have been put on hold this month as we make sure Chester fully recovers.

Bennington remains hospitalized as doctors are still trying to determine the cause of these ailments. The band's official statement for the cancelled shows was as follows, 'Chester Bennington, vocalist for the rock band Linkin Park was admitted to a Los Angeles area hospital last Friday afternoon after an attack of severe back and abdominal pains. Limp Bizkit and Metallica followed Linkin Park's set.īefore the tour, Linkin Park cancelled an entire European Tour that was supposed to take the band across Europe playing many big name festivals and shows, the reasoning being that Chester got very sick and required hospitalization. Linkin Park played third on the bill, after Mudvayne and Deftones. Anger, which came out June 5th, 2003, and was the first and only stadium tour that Linkin Park has ever played. The tour was in support of Metallica's new album St. It consisted of nineteen stadium shows across the United States and Canada. The Summer Sanitarium Tour was Metallica's Summer Tour in the United States and Canada that ran from July 4th to August 10th, 2003.
