LPU Chat with Jim Digby, Linkin Park’s Production Manager, Summary




Linkin Park’s production manager, Jim Digby, chatted with us for a while. There were several guest appearances, very brief though, by Missy, Megumi, Pooch, Lonnie, the chef for this out, etc. Here’s a summary of what we got, if we got something wrong, please let us know!

  • Normal day starts at 7AM, laying the stuff is where it needs to be, getting ready for the show
  • What Jim does: getting the stuff altogether, ready for stage.
  • Jim answered that question he asked Twitter regarding the hardhat, the hardhat belongs to Missy!
  • Rehearsals are going well, tonight is the last one.
  • The stage is really amazing, they’re doing a whole lot of fun new stuff. The band is seeing it for the first time tonight. It’s sort of like the V-stage used last time at the A Thousand Suns world tour but it’s nothing you’ve seen before, it’s all new.
  • His favorite Linkin Park song is CASTLE OF GLASS, he said LOST IN THE ECHO first but changed it.
  • Yes, they’re excited for Brazil
  • Honda Civic Tour stage is different from the LIVING THINGS world tour stage
  • How many new songs is a surprise.
  • Chester trains his voice everyday
  • Jim is working with Incubus’ production manager to bring the best show for those going to the Honda Civic Tour!
  • Jim has worked with several bands before Linkin Park like Marilyn Manson, Bon Jovi, Backstreet Boys, Enrique Iglesias, etc.
  • Phoenix plays his mangled bass because he likes how it sounds and probably because the fans love it.
  • He worked with Linkin Park for about 11 years now.
  • There are 5 buses and 12 tractor trailers of equipment for Honda Civic Tour, Projekt Revolution had 20 tractor trailers
  • Takes 8-10 hours to set up the show to be ready for the show to start.
  • They’ll know about a European tour in the upcoming months, nothing now though.
  • There will be a new LPTV today!
  • Pyro is a surprise on this tour, not sure if the Honda Civic Tour will get it or not.
  • He showed us the new tour laminate for the Honda Civic Tour too!
  • They use reusable water bottles on tour.
