Linkin Park performed their first live concert in 2 years last night at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square, New York City.
It was pretty much a greatest hits so far with a few of the new songs sprinkled in. The intro was amazing! Started off with The Requiem and The Radiance and slammed into New Divide (love the live breakdown - so sick).
ONLY WATCH THE FIRST 3 MINUTES THEN SWITCH TO THE VIDEO BELOW THIS ONE:
THE REQUIEM/THE RADIANCE
THEN WATCH THIS ONE... Filmed From Camera Pit
NEW DIVIDE
The heavier Shinoda influenced tracks were also gnarly.
WRETCHES AND KINGS BEST SOUND and view of MIKE AND CHESTER ROCKING!!!
BEST VIEW from CROWD!!!
BEST VIEW of entire backdrop and BAND***
Probably the coolest thing about LP shows are that you get a little hip-hop mixed with Rock so it makes for a fun show to move to. Once second its ethereal, the next drop down then its rap/arms laying it down. Love it!!!
And scared to say it... but musically, from a dual singer/songwriter/rock band stand point... are Chester and Mike sorta the Paul and John of the early millennium???? Sometimes I'm amazed at their ability to collaborate and create such unique sounds and abilities... and they each have their own projects on the side. Just saying???
