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 highly commercially successful 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.

Frat Party at the Pankake Festival has a total of five hidden Easter eggs included.
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 (at about 9:33). When the words appear at themjoochy 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.
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 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. At the end of number 2 (on computer simply click on the numbers), you will be taken to a video depicting an alternate version of the "Points of Authority" video featured in the main title.
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.
There are 4 ways to do this.
You will be taken to an LPTV footage in London including Mike's incident of a glass table that he's broke in half, causing Joe and Mike dismantle and hide it to avoid paying a fine.
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.
In the making of Minutes to Midnight, Linkin Park's third studio album, Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington admit they are bad in naming titles, citing Frat Party at the Pankake Festival as an example.[1]
