Thanks for sharing
I too am not a LP fan even the slightest bit. I actually can't stand the music.
But that was cool. His ability to connect to fans is undeniable.

I love Linkin Park. That's a great video.
Bennington could really connect to fans. I saw them open for Metallica. They were so great.
Sad he's gone. Talented man.

Saw them live during the Metallica Sanitarium Tour at Reliant in 2003. Had pit tickets and was my high school senior year.
They were really good live! They did a really long set too….they only had their first 2 albums out at the time and I think they dang near played every song….Lars at one point came out in some weird dinasour/dragon costume on stage (hard to remember but it's on the Live in Texas DVD which was filmed at that show…..audio is from Dallas show).
Crowd was way in to it!
And what's even crazier is Limp Bizkit came on after them and they were amazing live too….and most people didn't even like them
Edit: just watched the video….so beautiful and incredibly sad at the same time….

I remember listening to Hybrid Theory, beginning to end, no skips and playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for MONTHS! I think I even bought both at the same time at Best Buy. IIRC they came out very close to each other.
Hybrid Theory and Meteora were my introduction into music that wasn't 1960/70s country with my parents. Their old stuff was great and even there newer stuff wasn't bad imo.
That above is an incredible moment, but man screw people who need to film every little thing on their phones. My wife and I were at a concert this weekend and the couple in front of us literally filmed 75% of a 1.5 hour show.

I cannot stand LP, but I watched that video and that was really cool. I'll definitely think of that and have a little more appreciation for them now when their sing comes on and I quickly change it. I know they have a crazy loyal following and now I see why.
Saw STP fronted by Chester at Dallas' House of Blues... was a very good performance.
Can't star this part enough. You pay x amount of dollars to go to this concert, event or what ever and you spend the whole time staring at it through a little screen, if you were going to do that save your money and go find videos of it on you tube. First off just be there and enjoy the moment and appreciate what it is. Secondly it NEVER comes out of the video you recorded as amazing as it was live it doesn't matter how good of a phone you have.wangus12 said:

People talking through shows is WAY more maddening to me than people filming. Stay the **** at home if you want to chat with your friends. At least the people filming are interested in the music.
I loved LP's first two releases then they went downhill fast. Those first two are gold though for emo rock style, really impactful songs.

Nah bro. If you want to see something that will give you chills and make you really sad, watch this one:
For those of you who somehow don't know this and need a summary or explanation before you click play, this is Linkin Park playing "Crawling" live, and half way through the song, Chris Cornell comes out of nowhere and starts singing the second verse (from what I have gathered about this, Chester did not even know he was there until he walked out on stage). Then they sing together for the remainder of the song. I am not a Linkin Park fan, but I am a Chris Cornell fan. Chris and Chester were best friends, and there is much speculation that Chester killed himself in part out of grief and depression over Chris committing suicide 2 months earlier.
Edit to add: Chester Killed himself on what would have been Chris Cornell's birthday.

If I'm not mistaken didn't Chester commit suicide on what would have been Cornell's birthday?
Yes, meant to mention that. He did commit suicide on Cornell's birthday.
This was great, thanks for posting this. Damn, Chris Cornell was incredible.

That was incredible. Thank you for posting. I miss Chris Cornell so much. So thankful I flew to LA to see Temple Of The Dog at the Forum. He would be dead about 6 months later.
Nothing against Chester as I enjoy their music but I would have loved to hear Chris sing all of LP's first two releases, he sounded awesome!Fear InoculAg said:

Not sure what info you gathered to think Chester didn't know, but they did this it nearly every show of that Project revolution tour (even the camera man in your video was anticipating it.. he's panned over to the area where Cornell comes out). This was the ~10th show in the tour, so Chester clearly knew.
Oh well, still awesome.
Love both of those guys. Still mad they're gone. It's hard to not get emotional listening to many of Chester's lyrics. Dude clearly battled a long time.
Let's go, Brandon!
Also, by the same method, suicide by hanging.Fear InoculAg said:

Sad he's gone. Talented man.
In Houston? I was there too. Phenomenal show.

That sanitarium at reliant was a long ass day
Was there at reliant.. 5th row up or so in a section near the stage. My 4th met show at that point! (and exactly 5 years to the day of their previous houston show)
Was pissed cause it took us like 30 minutes from just outside the stadium to finally parking.. we ended up missing deftones.

Yeah I was at that show too! Most girls flashing between sets I've ever seen at a rock show.

Yeah we got there early for Deftones, caught non-makeup mudvayne too
Think it was my second. First one was right after KLOL got turned into some ****ty tejano station and Godsmack opened for them.
that was in 2004 at the Toyota center, after summer sanitarium.ABATTBQ11 said:

They played Toyota (summit) before summer sanitarium in 97 with CoC, and again in 08 with down.
Yup that's the show I was in the pit for…..you didn't miss much with the deftones…..dudes mic cut out at one point and he slammed it on the ground62strat said:

Thought it was pretty hilarious
Audioslave and Linkin Park were two of my favorites. Considering I don't ever find new rock music these days it sucks even more

Compaq Center 97 with CoC was a good show.
Lots of incredible new rock out there, it just isn't shoved in your face by terrestrial radio like it was in the 70s-90s.Madmarttigan said:

I think I permanently damaged the hearing in my left ear after that day. I got there early enough to hear all 5 bands. NRG Stadium was only a year old at the time and while its acoustics are still pretty bad today, they were awful then. I'm guessing the tour techs were informed of this and just decided to turn everything up to 11. Every time the singer for Mudvayne would yell it physically hurt. Still was a great day as high school me was in love with almost all of the bands there that day.jetch17 said:ABATTBQ11 said:Dr. Mephisto said:
