Linkin Park released their first DVD, Frat Party at the Pankake Festival, on November 20, 2001, more than one year after the release of their critically-acclaimed debut album, Hybrid Theory. The release documented the band on its touring cycle to support Hybrid Theory. It also features all four of the band's music videos up to that point, plus the promotional video for Points of Authority which was used to promote the DVD. It also includes bonus special features and several hidden Easter eggs that unlock even more bonus special features.

Easter eggs

Frat Party at the Pankake Festival has five hidden easter eggs included. To access these hidden chapters, use the following as a guide.

Place for my studio footage

This first easter egg will require the use of your DVD remote control. First, activate subtitles. Go to the "Chapter Selection" screen and select the "Beginnings" chapter. When Brad Delson is talking, the words "from the beginning" will appear at the bottom of the screen. When the words appear at the bottom of the screen, press the "Enter" button on your remote. You will be taken to a video of early studio footage from 1999, before the band was signed. The song that they are performing is a demo of "A Place for My Head" which appears on Hybrid Theory. This demo is not to be confused with "Esaúl", a properly recorded demo for "A Place for My Head". The significant difference is found in the lyrics. Hybrid Theory is the first studio album by Linkin Park, released on October 24, 2000. ...

Points of alternate

This easter egg will also require that you have your remote control. Go to the "Disc Setup" screen and wait. Do not press any buttons. After about two minutes and 45 seconds, the screen will change and a honeycomb-like keyboard design will appear. Using your remote, enter the following sequence of numbers: 1-4-8-5-9-5-2. After entering the sequence, press the "Enter" button on your remote. You will be taken to a video depicting an alternate version of the "Points of Authority" video featured in the main title.

One step backwards

This easter egg is fairly easy to find. Simply turn on the "Director's Commentary" audio track and watch the video for "One Step Closer." The audio track will be playing backward while the video will still be playing forward.

Broken table in London

Using your DVD player's "go to" or "program" function, navigate to title 3, chapter 1. (Not all DVD players are capable of doing this.) This featurette has some live show footage, some midnight pranks, and lots of other amusing footage, including a table in a London hotel that broke when Mike sat on it.

One Step Closer (Humble Brothers Remix)

When viewing the One Step Closer video as part of the main title (accessed from the Chapter Selection, not the Track Selection menu), wait until the last time Chester says "Shut up!" right before "I'm about to break!" and press Enter on your remote/keyboard. This takes you to an audio-only section where you can listen to the remix of One Step Closer by the Humble Brothers. This is the earlier version of the one on Reanimation, without Jonathan Davis. The Humble Brothers is a group of electronic music composers. ... For reanimation of the dead, see Undead. ... Jonathan Houseman Davis (born January 18, 1971) is the vocalist for the multiplatinum nu metal[2] band, Korn. ...

Trivia

• The band purposely misspelled the word "pancake" in the title of the DVD and have been quoted as saying that it is the "worst name that we could think of."
• The bluegrass version of "Crawling" is noted as being an audio-only feature on the DVD; however, there is a video of the All-Star Band playing the song on the DVD, with members of Linkin Park standing around them within the making of In The End music video section.
• Frat Party at the Pankake Festival has been released in three editions: a standard edition with a DVD case; a VHS edition; and a standard edition with a CD case (the latter of which was released on September 2, 2003).
