February 21st 2008
Billboard reports that Linkin Park rocked a crowd of contest winners and industry personnel just after midnight last night at the Soho Apple Store in New York City. The band is playing the Garden tonight.
"This is the best show in an Apple store we've ever played," Bennington joked with the crowd. After the set, group members stuck around to sign autographs for the devotees.
The set was recorded and filmed for what is expected to be a March release on Apple's iTunes Music Store, sources say.
Apple has hosted concerts at its New York store on several occasions, including performances by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Kaki King, the New Pornographers and Simian Mobile Disco.
Previously, Insanely-Great had speculated that Linkin Park would play an Apple Event where the iPhone SDK, among other products would be released.
[update] AppleInsider that beginning at 7:00pm on Sunday, Maroon 5 will take a short breather from their worldwide tour with Dashboard Confessional to play an approximate one-hour set of both electric and acoustic material from their latest platinum album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long.
