Chester Bennington: How many musicians do we have in the house?
[audience cheers]
Chester Bennington: good luck to everyone of you guys man. We were on the other side of the barricade a few years ago, man. Coming to these shows, seeing our favorite bands and having the dreams. Just persevere, believe in yourself. One day you'll be up here with us. Or Metallica or Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Mudvayne
[Song starts]
Chester Bennington: so this one's dedicated to all of you guys out there.
The set-list was well chosen and covers most of the best songs from Hybrid Theory and Meteora. And also includes the 'Re-Animated' version of Pushing Me Away, which surprisingly turns out to be the highlight of the set. Chester's singing is great and his screaming is up-to-par with the record for the most part, but in the bridge of Place for My Head, it sounded kind of bad. However, his vocals are near perfect on With You.
Brad does his thing well, adding a bit extra here and there, Rob nails his drums, and Pheonix stands there playing his bass and moves around from time totime, but the true standouts of the show are Mr. Hann and Mike Shinoda. Mike's rapping is more aggressive here, he plays guitar on a number of songs, and even sings on a few of them! Mr Hann was easily the standout of Hybrid Theory and Meteora and didn't disappoint here.
For the most part the songs are played well, but don't really bring anything extra to the table. Also, the electronica aspect of the LP sound doesn't translate too well live. While this is understandable and somewhat of a let-down, the songs do sound heavier which will appeal to a lot of fans. The crowd singing to Crawling is definitely a highlight of the concert and is true to LP's popularity--even Metallica fans can enjoy and sing along with Linkin Park. That was the most memorable performance of the disc for me.
While the overall performance wasn't spectacular, it wasn't bad and will certainly please Linkin Park fans who will have a fun time and will satisfy them for several repeat viewings. One Step Closer has to be the best I've heard it here. Chester's vocals are brilliant and the crowd are really getting into the track. And to surprise the crowd, the bridge from the Re-Animation is added. Which really spices up the song, and makes it an overall better listen than the one on Hybrid Theory.
All and all, LP fans will get a kick out of this concert, but it won't do much for the casual listener. But that's exactly the turn-out Linkin Park would have wanted, as they made this for their fans and if you're a fan of their old stuff, what are you waiting for? check this out now!
