Linkin Park released their first DVD, Frat Party at the Pankake Festival (often referred to as simply Frat Party by fans), 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.

[edit] Easter eggs
Frat Party at the Pankake Festival has a total of five hidden Easter eggs included.
[edit] A Place For My Head 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 "Esaul" an early demo of "A Place For My Head" which appears on Hybrid Theory.
[edit] Points of Authority Live at The Dragon Festival
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. Between each number press the enter button, and at the end of number 2.You will be taken to a video depicting an alternate version of the "Points of Authority" video featured in the main title.
[edit] One Step Farther
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.
[edit] Broken table in London
click on "Special Features" and then once in that menu click "Main" Menu... you'll be taken back to the main menu only this time the second "N" in LIИKIИ will be written forwards = LIИKIN. Press 9 then enter on your remote and you will be taken to the bonus featurette in London. The name of this featurette comes from a table in a London hotel that broke in half when Mike sat on it, causing Mike and Joe to dismantle and hide it to avoid paying a fine.
[edit] 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.

- On the Minutes To Midnight DVD, Chester revealed that he came up with the name.
- 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).
- An early version of the electronic intro to "Somewhere I Belong" can be heard during "The Future" chapter of the main program.
- The sample from From The Inside can be heard right before Mike introduces the Somewhere I Belong sample.
- The standard edition in a CD case has an altered cover.
