Linkin Park's debut album Hybrid Theory was released in October 2000. In 2001, Linkin Park won a Grammy award for Best Hard Rock Performance for "Crawling," the second single off of Hybrid Theory. Shortly thereafter, Linkin Park joined Ozzfest for their first national tour. In 2002, Linkin Park embarked on their first headlining tour Projekt Revolution. July 2002 saw the release of the remix of Hybrid Theory entitled Reanimation. Over 50 different artists submitted remixes for the album and Mike Shinoda hand-picked them himself. Linkin Park headed back to the studio in 2002 to record their sophomore release, Meteora. Meteora was released in March 2003 and debuted at No. 1 after selling over 800,000 copies in the first week.
Linkin Park released a new live CD/DVD Live in Texas in 2003. The footage came from the Summer Sanitarium Tour 2003 shows in Dallas and Houston. The beginning of 2004 saw Linkin Park on their "Meteora World Tour" with P.O.D., Hoobastank, and Story of the Year. Following that tour, Linkin Park set off on their third leg of the Projekt Revolution Tour. This time, the Project Revolution Tour features two stages and Revolution Village, all of which were very similar to the Warped Tour or Ozzfest. Revolution Village featured various types of entertainment such as video game kiosks and batting cages.
