hospital, the video begins with a group of teenage friends hanging out around a dark alley. The original version of the video was supposedly meant to be live footage of the band with fans (similar to their music video for " Faint").ĭirected by Dark and shot in Los Angeles, sixty-three feet underground in an abandoned LA Subway tunnel near an abandoned V.A. Joe Hahn of Linkin Park and director Gregory Dark came up with the concept for the video. The performance retained the 2017 Intro, but the extended outro was not played for the first time since 2008. On October 27, 2017, during the Linkin Park and Friends: Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington, Jonathan Davis performed the song again with the remaining Linkin Park members alongside Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh of Julien-K and Dead by Sunrise. On the One More Light World Tour, the song was performed with a brand new extended intro based on the Gunshot Intros, particularly the 2007 Intro. The tours for The Hunting Party and One More Light (in 2014-20 respectively), however, consistently placed the song mid-set instead of closing either the main set or the show. In others, the song closed off the main set instead. On the A Thousand Suns World Tour onward, the songs served as the last song in certain setlists.
In 2008, it had a new extended outro, and sometimes it was performed as the last song.įor the 2009 International Tour, the song was used as the final song of setlists, with an extended outro featuring a guitar solo by Shinoda while Brad Delson played an extended rhythm section during the solo. It also featured a new, extended intro featuring Shinoda on rhythm guitar. During the 2006 live performances in Japan, the Reanimation bridge was played with the main riff of the song.ĭuring the band's 2007 tour, "One Step Closer" became the opening song of Linkin Park's performances, and the Reanimation verse was removed. It can also be heard on the Live from Nottingham Rock City 2003 Live from Nottingham record. On the single cover, it is called "One Step Closer (Reanimated Live)". This was half-done on the performance at 2004's Rock am Ring (in that Shinoda only sung the part during the second half of the bridge) and fully done on performances during 20's Projekt Revolution tours (along with Davis on the 2004 tour), which was completely recorded and included as a B-side on the " Faint" single and is available as a bonus track for Reanimation when purchased on iTunes. On several of these occasions, Mike Shinoda would sing "Blood is pouring" under Bennington's screaming during this part, as was done by Jonathan Davis on the remix. During the Projekt Revolution 2004 Tour, as Korn was part of the tour's line up, Davis would come out to sing his part on the song before Chester Bennington starts screaming his part. At the end of the verse, Davis repeats the line "Blood is pouring" while the song builds up to the bridge. This part was somewhat similar to the atmosphere on the remix, with synth parts and faint vocal parts being scratched.įrom 2003 to 2006, performances of the song include a verse originally sung by Jonathan Davis in the Reanimation remix of the song before the "Shut up when I'm talking to you!" bridge, which can be heard on LP Underground 4.0. In 2009, every show they played was ended with "One Step Closer", excluding the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen premiere.ĭuring the 2001 MTV VMA performance of the song, the band had the X-Ecutioners do an extended break before the bridge. In 2008, they ended some of their shows with either "One Step Closer" or " Bleed It Out". In 2007, Linkin Park played "One Step Closer" toward the beginning of their live performances and sometimes at the end. Until 2007, Linkin Park closed every concert with "One Step Closer", excluding Live 8, and their live performances at Summer Sonic. In 2001, Linkin Park performed "One Step Closer" on The Conan O'Brien Show.
