Album Transition Intro Tease
- Around this time of the tour, Mike went into a studio in Nouzov, Czech Republic to record music. Some of this music was eventually released on the LPU XIV CD in November 2014.
i may have posted this before somewhere, but i thought since we're playing "reading my eyes" a bit on stage, i'd give you a little background. i think we wrote the song back in '97 or '98. it was an original demo from when the band was called XERO, which means it was written (and originally performed) by me and my friend mark. this was one of the songs on the demo we would send out to record companies to try and get signed, and it was on some of the demos we passed out to friends and new fans (the blue cassette with the baby on the cover).
we decided to put it in the show because a lot of the hardcore fans wanted to hear us play it–the only time we played it with chester before this tour was in tokyo, 2006. looking back at the lyrics, it's crazy; some of it's really dated, some of it's still dope, and some of it makes virtually no sense whatsoever. but i've seen some really bad "interpretations" of the lyrics on so-called "lyric websites" that are WAY OFF…so i figured i'd give you the real lyrics.

Verse 1 Acapella
- Jay-Z joined the band for 'Numb/Encore' and 'Jigga What/Faint'. Both versions were the same as the Madison Square Garden show in New York City earlier in the year.
- Mike rapped the first verse of 'Hands Held High' acapella after 'Lying From You'. This wasn't planned, as Mike explained to Rolling Stone: "We had put that song in the set and took it out because the chorus has 10 voices singing on it, and live it just never sounded right. But during the Milton Keynes show, there was a fan in front of the crowd who had a sign that said "Play 'Hands Held High.' " Halfway through, I thought, we can't play the song because we aren't prepared but I can give him the first half. So I just threw the verse in a cappella. In fact, we added that verse to the set, so that kid's sign essentially changed the set for the rest of the year. It was really cool."
- The band switched things up a bit for this show, moving 'From The Inside' up after 'One Step Closer', and moving 'Lying From You' down after 'Given Up'. 'Reading My Eyes' was also dropped.
- Chester mentioned that this was the biggest Projekt Revolution show to date.
- There were a number of problems with the the video screen behind the band. The problems persisted with the video during 'What I've Done' messing up, as well as an orange Linkin Park logo appearing out of place during the following song. The screen incorrectly displayed the backdrop for 'Faint' on 'Numb/Encore'.
- A few fans in the front started cheering for the band to play 'No Roads Left', which prompted Mike to shake his head.
- Consistent with the past, there was quite a lot of confusion surrounding the details for the LPU Meet and Greet, which of course resulted in some fans missing it.
- Rob had problems with his ride cymbal after 'Given Up'.
- The show was supposed to be broadcasted live on various MTV channels in Europe. It was dropped off the schedule at the last minute most likely due to the release of the live CD/DVD from this show 'Road To Revolution'.
- HIM was originally on the lineup but later dropped out.
- On October 6, 2008, the band's official website held a contest for anyone 18 years of age or older to submit a name for the CD/DVD. On October 8, five final choices were made into a poll allowing fans to vote for their favorite. The final choices were: "Linkin Park: Midnight In Milton Keynes", "Sunset Revolution: Linkin Park Live In The UK", "Road To Revolution: Linkin Park Live", "Revolution In The Iron City: Linkin Park Live", "Revolution in the UK: Linkin Park Live". On October 13, the website was modified to fit the winning title which was announced as "Road to Revolution", along with the tracklisting.
- 'What I've Done' from the CD/DVD was nominated for a Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance" at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards.
- 'Somewhere I Belong' and 'Papercut' were released in 2013 as bonus tracks for the new Meteora deluxe edition on iTunes.

Comments: The intro to 'One Step Closer' was edited. If you watch YouTube videos of the intro, you will notice that Brad's guitar cuts in late on the intro (it seems to have been muted). This was fixed on the soundboard audio.

Live Debut; Ext. Ending; w/ Busta Rhymes, Spliff Star & Adam Monroe
- Mike rapped the first verse of 'Hands Held High' over the Reanimated intro to 'Crawling'. Chris Cornell then joined the band for the song and sang the entire second verse, the outro, and Aaron's harmonies. Chris messed up on his part, skipping the second 'confusing' near the end of the song.
- This was the second time 'We Made It' was performed live - the first time in front of a major audience.
- Rob's drum solo was done before 'Bleed It Out' began, and Street Drum Corps came out in the middle of the song where his drum solo was normally done in the past. He did his solo on a special drumset at the front of the stage.
- 'What I've Done' was dropped from the setlist due time restrictions by the venue. This was the only show of the Minutes To Midnight touring cycle that did not have 'What I've Done'.
- This was a modified version of Setlist X from the European Tour, except with 'We Made It' instead of 'Reading My Eyes'.
- This was the first time that 'We Made It' was performed live.
- A clip of 'We Made It' from this show was available on MTV.com.

Intro #1 w/ Bloc Party; Jam Outro
Acapella Live Debut
- Mike rapped verse one of 'Bloc Party' over the intro of 'Points Of Authority'.
- After 'Points Of Authority', Mike later said (in the Road To Revolution interview) that he saw a sign in the crowd for 'Hands Held High' at this show, so he rapped it acapella. 'In Pieces' was dropped from the setlist, perhaps because of this reason.
- Before 'Pushing Me Away' someone threw a fur hat and a pirate patch onstage and Chester put them on. Video.
- Rob did not perform his drum solo on 'Bleed It Out'.
- This was the first time that Mike had rapped the first verse acapella of 'Hands Held High'. This was also the first acapella performance in a Linkin Park set.
- This was Linkin Park's first show in Finland.
