Sessions@AOL is the first live/digital compilation album by Linkin Park co-vocalist Mike Shinoda for his well-known hip-hop side project Fort Minor. This was recorded in the Capitol Studio in Studio A at Los Angeles, California, which was filmed on November 2, 2005. The album included the live versions of the songs which were included in Fort Minor's first studio album, The Rising Tied, which was released on November 22, 2005. Due to its time length in the digital download version, it is considered as an EP.

Live performance

The live performance included two versions. The digital download version and the webcast version. The digital download version only included the audio live versions of the songs. But the webcast version included the video of the live performance of the song and in addition it had performances of "It's Goin' Down" and "Where'd You Go" with Holly Brook, an interview with Mike Shinoda, and Sessions @ AOL announcements by Mike. It is rumored that Fort Minor did a whole set to rehearse for the gig at the Universal Amphitheater in LA that month, but it is not confirmed. Eric Bobo from Cypress Hill came out and played his Latin drums on the song "Believe Me". After Fort Minor did "There They Go", they launched into "It's Goin' Down", and then Holly Brook came out and they practiced "Where'd You Go".
