    The popular video of it from HBO Reverb (the Docklands, UK) show, is actually the last known time they ever performed that song.

    First known performance: 1/26/2001
    Last known performance: 9/16/2001

    It was also mashed up with the intro to Points of Authority at 3 Projekt Revolution 2007 shows.

    If you think about, that's kind of weird. "High Voltage" seems to be one of their more popular songs.

    I think it only is with the hardcore fans, like the people on the fansites.

    You're average fan who buys the albums, but no Reanimation or Frat Party would have no idea what it is.

    My December is much more unlike anything else they've recorded so, for the sake of variation at least, it makes more sense for them to include that in their setlists. Plus if Josh Groban's covered it I'm willing to bet it's probably one of their more well-known pre-Hybrid Theory songs.

    They actually wrote "My December" after they released Hybrid Theory.

    At any rate Josh Groban's version isn't all that popular. It was only included on that one album of his as a bonus track, so really only people in the markets who get bonus tracks (like Japan and the U.K.) would've ever heard it, unless, as someone said, they're a hardcore fan (in the same vein as a hardcore fan of Linkin Park) and downloaded all his stuff, which is how I found out about him recording a cover.

    Plus Groban's version is pretty bad anyway. :lol:

    What I meant by that is that, to my knowledge, no one of that profile has covered or sampled High Voltage outside of already Linkin Park-related work.

    Someone who can't sing for crap, just put it that way.

    It's a pity they've stopped playing it live, it's one of my favourites.

    seriously.. they dont play many songs live that i would like to hear. like if u try to look up hit the floor live.. theres like 2 on the internet. and that song is so sick live!! i wish they would play it more often. also like nobody's listening, and easier to run. Also.. they dont even play dont stay anymore. Its mostly meteora stuff they dont play. Off of hybrid theory its stuff like forgotten and by myself they dont play anymore. Such a shame. But i would really like them to play hit the floor more thats one of my favorites.. :)

    I'd like to see LP perform High Voltage live. But I'd also like to go to their concert and see them play a place for my head. I found on youtube they performed that song in Nashville back in February, but I think that was the only place they played it at..Maybe one day they will :)

    ^They played APFMH at the majority of their shows up until Projekt Revolution this year.

    And don't bump old threads. *closed*
