@@kevingantt3320 me too. my ninth time was supposed to be mid july 2017 but that didnt happen. my actual ninth time was flying out to L.A to see the Celebrating life concert. chester was still there in spirit😥
For the younger generation in the early 2000s, Linkin Park was a conduit for their anxiety, frustration, and heartbreak. There are grief, pain, and defiance that sets the tone for their songs, the acceptance that there is inner conflict from within but can be spoken loudly and angrily. Linkin Park is one of greatest band ever existed. Rest in Peace, Chester.
My favorite moment in a live performance from Linkin Park was in the Chester Memorial Concert in which the song Numb was sang by the crowd. No one sang on the microphone. All the vocals were from the fans in the crowd. Such a surreal thing to see on a screen that makes me sad that I never saw live in person.
Was fortunate enough to take my son (12yrs old) and attend the Kansas City show in Jan 2011. I will NEVER forget his reaction when they took the stage...in complete awe...and our voices were completely trashed for the next 2 days from singing along with the thousands of people in attendance! I still choke up a little when I think back to my son's reaction and I'm so happy we were there together!
The way Chester went to the crowd, back in 2012 I was able to give him a hug on a Linkin Park concert I went. I wish I could hug him again and tell him everything will be ok.
I was at this show at Download 2014 and it was beyond sick! This is probably one of my favourite live performances and it truly holds new meaning after Chester’s Death.
Was lucky to see them perform 3 times. This very video was the last time I got to see them perform. Incredible in every sense. I dearly miss Chester ❤️ watching these live performances always takes me back. What an amazing guy Chester was
I am actually sad about this. I saw them 3 times and 2 times was horrible disappointing and the last one was ok-ish. They played their set 2 times without talking. The one time they said hello and bye... but 1 hour playing abt 9-10 songs without any crowd interaction or passion. LP was my life, these concerts are still the biggest disappointment in my life...
Live in Texas was amazing too.... I was watching "From the inside" last night, and Chester sings like in CD. Power, stability, long breath, changes. The man was just perfect. Unbelievable.
I saw them in 2012 and 2017 in Brazil. They were absolutely incredible. I was lucky to see 2 live concerts of the best band of the world. Chester, you'll always have a space in my heart.
Oh god, seeing Linkin Park in concert was so amazing! They were so on point that it sounded like they just put a CD on and blasted it loud asf! He did the scream from given up all the way through with out taking a breath and everything! Best band in the entire world!!!
Chester was and still is a national treasure. The world lost an amazing artist with his passing. I saw them live in the early 2000’s and it was probably one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
I saw them at Chester's last ever live show in Birmingham UK, wife bought the tickets as a surprise birthday present. Absolutely immense, exhilarating and emotional to the hill. Best live gig I have been to and the most amazing musicians. Always feel so privileged as this was the only time I experienced them live and was devastated about Chester as he such a connection with the crowd.
I was blessed to be able to see Linkin Park live 5 times in my life. Each time was memorable and there was always electricity in the air when they came out to perform. The first ever performance I saw was when my sister bought tickets when I graduated high school in 2004. It was an epic lineup including Less than Jake, Snoop Dog, Korn and Linkin Park. I remember at one point, Chester had everyone stuck up their middle finger and yell “F*ck” as a crowd would usually do the wave. The fan interaction was amazing. The 2nd time was cool because I went there with my Dad (who was easily one of the oldest guys there - he was nearing or in his 70’s then lol). His favorite performance of the night was My Chemical Romance. This was the only time I ever heard LP perform No More Sorrow with the epic buildup to the actual song. It was amazing. The 5th time was special in another way because I got to go with my Mom who passed away in 2020 from COVID. We accidentally got seats to the orchestra section so there were no seats but we got a great view of all the performers including Chris Cornell and Chester. That was a special day for sure. The last 2 times, I went with my then girlfriend, now wife and had a blast each time screaming out every lyric of every song together. The best past of these performances was that I was able to spend it with and share memories with the most important people in my life and have fun together enjoying the music from my favorite band of all time.

for me the best performances they did are 2003 Texas ,2004 and 07 Rock am Ring, 2007 Japan, 2008 Milton Keynes and 2011 Red Square Moscow. would love to see you react to anything from those shows!
Saw them in Birmingham in 2017. It was quite a big thing for me at the time as I had mad social anxiety and having to go on my own was even worse but I'm glad I went now, I got to see my idol preform live just before he passed. Getting to finally see the band I idolised since I was 12 years old was a feeling like no other.
I saw them in KC, MO in 2008 and they were incredible. Chester gave 150% from start to finish. In fact you could tell at the end his voice was getting strained but he never backed down. It was high energy and even the people in the cheap seats, up on the hill in the grass were up and interacting. It was such a commanding performance. You were afraid to look away. And at one point when the drum corps showed up, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. They played for a really long time and it was fantastic. I'm so glad I got to see them. I cried for days when Chester died. Such a deep loss, I felt it in my soul
duuuude that is a blast from the past for me. i was there, download festival. one of the best and most powerful bands iv ever seen live there. the energy and passion between fans and band made that whole night outstanding for me.
My wife and I were there at Download Festival 2014! We went purely to see LP. They performed Hybrid Theory from start to finish. Incredible. We also saw them in Manchester later that year. Wish we could do it all over again 💜
I saw Linkin Park perform with Chris Cornell back in 2008 at Projekt Revolution. To see both Chester and Chris together, I treasure that. It was just MAGIC. I also saw LP 1 more time in 2014 with Thirty Seconds to Mar - and again, it was amazing. We were supposed to see them again July 27, 2017 when he passed a week before. Definitely went through the stages of grieving.
Alex it’s been so fun to watch you become a Linkin park fan as your channel has progressed. It’s definitely reignited my passion for Linkin Park and for music in general. Thank you.
I'm so happy I got to see them live back in 2014 during their tour with AFI and 30 Seconds to Mars. Been a huge fan since Hybrid Theory dropped and will be a fan for life.
I saw them in one of their last concerts in Lima, Perú in 2017(may) Such and incredible performance... All the good songs, I still remember all the crowd singing all the rap part and chorus from in the end, Chester was really smiling 🥹🥹🥹 I couldn't ask more...🖤
Was lucky to be first time in my live in the last ever LP permormance in Birmingham 2017. Chester hold my hand during The One More Light song. Incerdible experiance. R.I.P Chester❤️
Got to see them live 4 times, quit my job to see them in Grand Junction! 🤘🏽🎸 Chester is and always will be a beast live ❤️ Linkin Park will always be my favorite band! They are amazing and sound incredible 🙏 fly high and rest easy Chester ♥️ we miss and love you brother 🤘🏽🙏
sharing the grief of not seeing them live. Damn. Lucky to live in the era where we at least have so many live concerts available to love. Going to watch that live again. A whole vibe, the sky, everything, pure magick
I had the honor of seeing both LP and Soundgarden in 2015 (different shows but same venue). Never did I ever think just a year later they'd both be gone 😢
Wow I never thought I’d be so lucky. I saw them live 3 times. The thing that stood out to me most was how close to their studio sound they sang. It was incredible. After all these years I still can’t get over how much they sounded like their albums.
Two BEST Chester performances are: - A Place For My Head (Live in Texas) - Wish (Rock am Ring 2004) These are the two performances where Chester is really in his element.
I saw them in 2012 and it was truly amazing. The fans interacted with Mike so well he forgot the lyrics to a song and burst out laughing. As a thank you for going to the concert they gave us a code and 10 days later we were able to download the concert to relive the experience
@@belladonnafox2356 ok, yeah I wasn’t at that one. I was at the Bristol, VA for the opening North America tour. Mike messed up Bleed It Out, laughed it up, and they just carried on with the set like he didn’t forget his mark lol. Good times!
I saw them live not long before it happened and they were amazing. So blessfull i still could see them. Still my favourite band from when i was just 11 now rocking 34
the biggest moment of my life was when i was at mikes post traumatic concert in munich, i somehow got to talk to him and i was in a very dark place and he just hugged me, mike is is one of the most kindest, modest and in my oppinion most taletend people with such good morals that he even gives to his fans, and chester was a musical legend, and i think the quote "often the kindest people are the ones that hurt the most inside" is him we love you chester
I was at this concert!!!! It was So Epic!!! I'm so happy that I got to see them live before Chester passed. He was so cool. I got to go backstage and say hello to them. I was so over the moon. I will NEVER forget that day. Rest in Peace Chester. ❤😢😊
I feel like Mike had so much respect and love for Chester. Just watching the pure joy on he's face while mouthing the words Chester was singing, you could see Chester's singing gave him so much joy.
saw them at this download they were immense. I am so grateful to have done so. we were all so up for it and so happy they were there! crawling was one of the best I have ever seen.
Год назад+4
I love Pushing Me Away piano version, recorded only live.. and then, let me just say.. When Chester sings One More Light with the audience, it's just breathtakeing...
I've been having a pretty dark week and its been hard, but watching this video just gave me something to make me smile and have another reason to get outta bed tomorrow... to watch Alex's videos... and get on a phone call... and you know, listen to Linkin Park.
I saw them once in 2012 on the Honda Civic tour, they played with Incubus and Mike Eizinger came out and played Bleed It Out with them after they mashed it up with Sabotage from Beastie Boys, easily one of the greatest nights of my life 💙 and Chester screaming that "THOUGHTS" in the 2nd verse is one of my favorite things that Chester would do live when they performed OSC
I got to see LP once and only once. It was incredible, two of the best non-stop action I’ve ever been apart of. They crushed it and played SO MUCH of their discography. Can’t even explain how much fun it was.
Seen them live 3 times. And the way you described their vibe was spot on. The radiate positive energy. Their music is medicine. Best experience of my life. Gosh I miss them 😭💔
Linkin Park always put on great shows! Chester always puts everything out there during each performance. The last time I saw them was on my 30th bday at a festival in San Antonio. I finally won an opportunity to meet them after trying multiple times and was star struck when I met Chester. If only I would have known he would’ve passed a few years later, I would have said a lot more.
I saw Linkin Park play 5 times, they were always awesome. The mosh pit would go absolutely crazy for songs like one step closer. Actually though one moment that stayed with me was when they did a new version of My December. Chester's vocals were just out of this world, I remember the crowd just stood in silent awe. Good times.
Had the Chance to See them 10 times live - loved every Single performance an i am so happy to have this in my heart! Thanks for your passionate reaction. Was Great to watch!
I was lucky enough to see them 1 time and it was the greatest show I've been too. I was super lucky and caught a drum stick, so I will always have that memory.
I consider myself extremely lucky to the point of lunacy that I technically got to see them almost back to back in the course of 2 years. First time I saw LP was at Staples in 2011 and it was multiple dreams come true, because I finally moved back home to LA and the very next day was the concert. I never felt more alive and happy even all the way from the nosebleeds. The songs were just amazing, their presence was great, and I wanted to cry. The true lucky one would come when Living Things album came out, they announced for LPU members (which I was at the time) that they were coming to throw the first pitch at the Dodgers game and were going to have a secret concert at the Nokia Club in Downtown for select people and the tickets where gonna be FREE. I woke up an hour early before the supposedly Ticket release, and had 2 computers with multiple browsers open to ensure I got them. Once I did and went to the club... that place was tiny as all hell and I got into the pit 2nd row of people.... when they came out, it just was such an amazing moment. Halfway during show, I think was Bleed it Out, Mike came and did same thing going down and going over rail while Security held on to his ass to make sure didn't fall. He went to one side of the stage and I was pushing to try and get close but no dice, but then he came to MY side of the stage and was in front of me. I grabbed his arm and was belting all I could with the people beside me. It was truly special. After that, I also got lucky 2 more times. First, Mike threw one of his guitar picks into crowd and I caught that mid-air and still keep it sacred. The 2nd time... was after the show. I waited behind just in case, because I brought the physical album cover with me in desperate hope of something happening... Chester came back out and started giving autographs. He was sorta in like zombie mode but I ran up and showed the album cover. Dude smiled and thanked me for being such and awesome fan and gave me a hug giving one of the last 2 autographs of that night. I will never ever forget that moment and I miss him dearly
Linkin Park were the band which got me into heavy music, and music in general. I remember singing their stuff from Hybrid Theory through a home kareoke machine at 9 years old. 15 years later here I was, at Download Festival UK. My first and only time seeing them live, a moment I had waited for all those years. And what do you know - it would be their only performance of the 'Hybrid Theory' album in its entirety in UK history. What a day that was. Little did I know a few short years later what would happen. Will always have a place in my heart for these guys and their music
One of my favorite things of seeing LP live was when they would combine several songs into one. I highly recommend checking those out! Wretches and Kings / Skin to Bone / Remember the Name (I think it’s called “Mike’s Rap”)
Dude, you have to appreciate their concert in Texas in 2001, there was an hour and a half live. I don't know how, if every song in a separate video or all at once, but you just have to, because it's a fucking masterpiece
I was in that crowd it was special playing of HT. It was an incredible night. I own the dvd of live in Texas and that is an incredible show too. One of the best live acts period tbh. So glad I got to see them
Честер всегда любил своих фанатов. Помню как он выступал с one more light. Он был простым, но в то же время великим человеком. И помог многим в сложное для них время.
This isn't their "best performance ever" as the title claims but it is a historic performance when they played Hybrid Theory in its entirety. Chester's voice was a little worn out in this show, but still gave it his usual 200%.
Worn out? I watched the whole show and I think this was probably the best his voice ever sounded. Singing voice and screams were both great. He also had great vocal control.
I never got to see LP live, unfortunately, but every time I listen to their music now, I get so hyped, just like you did, and have to cry. It's not so much a cry of sadness, though there's a bit of that, in there, too, but crying because I get so excited by their sound! Their songs blow me away, and it's overwhelming! I did get to see Mike, live, during his Post-Traumatic tour, though, and he was absolutely fantastic. Got to see him at the meet-n-greet beforehand, too. It's weird (in a wonderful way) because he's got such an aura of serenity, or zen, about him. I don't "see" auras, or even generally feel them, but I could feel it from him. He's very calming, surprisingly, considering he's a rocker. I really wish I'd had the chance to see the band, too, though.
I got to see Linkin Park live twice. The first time was the Meteora World Tour in 2004 at the Palace of Auburn Hills, and the second time was also in 2004 for the Projekt Revolution tour at DTE Music Theater. Two of the best shows I have been to. Super thankful I got to see them not just once, but twice, before Chester's passing.
Honestly, my favorite performance of theirs that I've seen is A Place for my Head from Rock Am Ring 2004. You have to check that out if you want a great feel.
There’s no other band/musician that has concerts like Linkin Park in any form…. The energy is felt simply through a video, the energy at the concert is probably so unreal and the talent presented to you on that stage is out of this world.
I was incredibly fortunate to see LP at least 3 times in SD and LA, and I was able to go to the memorial concert they held for Chester at the Hollywood Bowl. These guys were basically the soundtrack through the better part of my formative years, have gotten me through tough times, and brought me closer to my sister who usually went to the concerts with me. Losing Chester was hard. I still have trouble listening to songs like "Leave Out All the Rest" or "One More Light" without tearing up as I sing them. Hearing some of the previously unreleased tracks like "Lost" and "Fighting Myself" recently has been both amazing to hear more from Chester and heartbreaking, 1) knowing that we won't get to see them performed live and 2) knowing how much the pain in those lyrics was real. 💔
I saw them three times. The first time was in 2007, in Chorzow. I was very privileged, because they played so close to my home that I could take the tram there. The show was great, in the stadium where they supported Pearl Jam. I was a member of LPU at the time, met the band and have a signed copy of Minutes to Midnight. I had a word with Chester, and to this day I still have in my visual memory the way he looks me in the eyes, thanking me as I complimented his performance. Then I saw them in 2012 in Warsaw and in 2017 in Krakow. This last concert is also special, as I decided to buy tickets at the last minute and was there with my dad.
@Jason Chidwick it was only my second ever Download Festival and have to say it is probably the best headline act I've seen there! Yes Rammstein and many others could have a say on that but for me Linkin Park's performance that night was instrumentally, vocally and as a whole perfection from start to finish!
Was definitely going to take my kid, "the next time they came on tour" as he was finally old enough to go to a show with me. Sigh. RIP Chester. So tragic. Thanks for highlighting these performances Alex.
I saw them twice and both gigs were unbelievable. They were sending so much energy to the audience. I have regrets that I’ve underestimated Chester’s lyrics till his tragic pass.
I was honored when I got to meet Chester at Projekt Revolution 2008. When I hugged him, he whispered in my ear "it's too late for me." My heart shattered instantly & I buried my face in his chest. R.I.P Chester ill never forget you. Much love.
its bittersweet to be able to say i was able to see them live, like im happy because theyre my fav band of all time and Chester is my biggest inspiration in life but i wish i hadnt because when i did see them i was young asf and fell asleep like half way through and dont remember anything from it. im so glad youtube exists tho cuz im able to rewatch it lmao
i got to see them in philly at the summer sanitarium tour at veterans stadium. in the pit in front of the stage it was one of the best moments of my life. they put on such a great show, one of the best bands ever live.
I saw them during their Meteora World tour, first concert I've been to and so far still the best! They had so much cool stuff going on with the stage, at one point the stage morphed and moved them around on like they were on a conveyer belt. When they got to One Step Closer the lighting rig above the pit started flashing and rotating, it pulled down above the stage in a giant "LP" and blasted the audience with light before it got to the "SHUT UP" part of the song. Best memories ever.
I’m so lucky to have gotten to see LP live when they toured the UK. Approaching 6 years since Chester passed and if still hurts. They were such a huge part of my teens.
I saw them all 3 times they came to Perth, Western Australia and then once in Singapore at the Singaport F1. I'm a huge LP fan, and I have to say I feel so privileged to have been able to see my favourite band live, so many times. I reckon Live in Texas is one of their best shows, and recently been remastered in HD!
Yo! I was actually at THIS performance! Download Festival 2014, I'm near the front on the left of the crowd 🤘🏻 they played the Hybrid Theory album in full for this show, followed by their other classics. It was INCREDIBLE. I'm so lucky I got to see them, and for my first festival experience, it was the best thing I could have witnessed!
I was able to see them in 2008 when they came to my city. It was such an amazing concert. I am so happy that I got to see them live. I'm not sure if they did this all the time, but you could purchase a recording of the live show and download it after the concert. I listen to this whenever I need to feel that experience again. I'm so happy I paid for this. My concert tee has long since been gone which is sad. It makes me sad that I won't be able to see them again in concert.
I was lucky enough to meet them 5 times, see them 12 times and attended one of their LPU Summits at the United Center in Chicago. The summit was literally an all day experience that included sitting in at their soundcheck. Such good memories. They were all good memories. My experience meeting them, they were all genuine.
I was blessed enough to be at this show truly unforgettable! Download Festival 2014. The atmosphere was absolutely electric! And LP 100% fed off it and gave us everything we wanted.
saw them 3 times, best concerts i've been to. its magical. i also got the chance to touch chesters hand when he was coming down to the crowd. it was amazing! miss him so much, thank you ALL for keeping him and Linkin Park alive!! Greetings from germany!
Saw them in NYC at MSG. So freaking awesome! Loved every second of it and never say down ever!. Was planning on seeing them again, but with the untimely passing of Chester made that not happen.
Saw them 13 times. Best performers of my generation for sure. Miss you Chester
You are sooooo very ooo😮o😢lucky!!!!!!!!
Saw them 9 times. Great performances!!
Sooooo jealous 😱
Omg!!! I’m so jealous! 💔

The duo of Mike and Chester is unmatched, no one will ever be as good as those two. You should react to more of their live performances.
Ivo Rosario is attempting
Lennon and McCartney?

Edit: yup, I was. He sang crawling.
i saw the video .. shit was chilling
That was beautiful

That is a beautiful story to share!
Lucky son lucky dad
Live in Texas is still the best overall concert they ever did IMO
Live in Texas or Rock am Ring 2004, they are both amazing.
that place of my head is the 2nd best scream of chester for me!!
Incredible show!
That’s what I’m saying!
Not wrong but also yes
The way Chester went to the crowd, back in 2012 I was able to give him a hug on a Linkin Park concert I went. I wish I could hug him again and tell him everything will be ok.
I was at this show at Download 2014 and it was beyond sick! This is probably one of my favourite live performances and it truly holds new meaning after Chester’s Death.
I feel you man HYBRID THEORY in full too!
Honestly, this was probably the best gig I’ve ever been to! remember being totally mesmerised!
Yeah Hybrid Theory in full then into some others. I was there too. What an evening
Was lucky to see them perform 3 times. This very video was the last time I got to see them perform. Incredible in every sense. I dearly miss Chester ❤️ watching these live performances always takes me back. What an amazing guy Chester was
You’re so lucky, I found out about them after Chester passed which is so stupid, bc they are now my favorite band. And I’ll never get to see them live
i bet, shame i've never got to seem them live.😭 But regardless they seem great live.
Was this Rock AM ring? I used to have this whole show saved
Grew up on them, saw them twice

I saw them in 2012 and 2017 in Brazil. They were absolutely incredible. I was lucky to see 2 live concerts of the best band of the world. Chester, you'll always have a space in my heart.
Como me arrependo de não ter ido
I was also there in Maximus Festival (2017), glad I could see them at least once
Oh god, seeing Linkin Park in concert was so amazing! They were so on point that it sounded like they just put a CD on and blasted it loud asf! He did the scream from given up all the way through with out taking a breath and everything! Best band in the entire world!!!
Chester was and still is a national treasure. The world lost an amazing artist with his passing. I saw them live in the early 2000’s and it was probably one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
I saw them at Chester's last ever live show in Birmingham UK, wife bought the tickets as a surprise birthday present. Absolutely immense, exhilarating and emotional to the hill. Best live gig I have been to and the most amazing musicians. Always feel so privileged as this was the only time I experienced them live and was devastated about Chester as he such a connection with the crowd.
I wish I had gotten to see Linkin Park live that's one thing I regret 😪 but I still love their music and listen to them even today 🖤🤘
Same here
Same here. They only came to my country a couple times and the only time I was actually an adult, I was too broke to afford a ticket
I live in Ireland and the only time they ever came here I was 8 😔 Chester died just before I turned 17 so I really never had a chance
same here!!
I was blessed to be able to see Linkin Park live 5 times in my life. Each time was memorable and there was always electricity in the air when they came out to perform.
The first ever performance I saw was when my sister bought tickets when I graduated high school in 2004. It was an epic lineup including Less than Jake, Snoop Dog, Korn and Linkin Park. I remember at one point, Chester had everyone stuck up their middle finger and yell “F*ck” as a crowd would usually do the wave. The fan interaction was amazing.
The 2nd time was cool because I went there with my Dad (who was easily one of the oldest guys there - he was nearing or in his 70’s then lol). His favorite performance of the night was My Chemical Romance. This was the only time I ever heard LP perform No More Sorrow with the epic buildup to the actual song. It was amazing.
The 5th time was special in another way because I got to go with my Mom who passed away in 2020 from COVID. We accidentally got seats to the orchestra section so there were no seats but we got a great view of all the performers including Chris Cornell and Chester. That was a special day for sure.
The last 2 times, I went with my then girlfriend, now wife and had a blast each time screaming out every lyric of every song together.
The best past of these performances was that I was able to spend it with and share memories with the most important people in my life and have fun together enjoying the music from my favorite band of all time.
What awesome memories you will have for the rest of your life. Good for you! ❣
Saw them twice and both times they were the best live performance I have ever seen! LP for life

for me the best performances they did are 2003 Texas ,2004 and 07 Rock am Ring, 2007 Japan, 2008 Milton Keynes and 2011 Red Square Moscow. would love to see you react to anything from those shows!
Milton Keynes was a special show and my fav DVD...SICK!
Saw them in Birmingham in 2017. It was quite a big thing for me at the time as I had mad social anxiety and having to go on my own was even worse but I'm glad I went now, I got to see my idol preform live just before he passed. Getting to finally see the band I idolised since I was 12 years old was a feeling like no other.
I was there!
I saw them in KC, MO in 2008 and they were incredible. Chester gave 150% from start to finish. In fact you could tell at the end his voice was getting strained but he never backed down. It was high energy and even the people in the cheap seats, up on the hill in the grass were up and interacting. It was such a commanding performance. You were afraid to look away. And at one point when the drum corps showed up, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. They played for a really long time and it was fantastic. I'm so glad I got to see them. I cried for days when Chester died. Such a deep loss, I felt it in my soul
duuuude that is a blast from the past for me. i was there, download festival. one of the best and most powerful bands iv ever seen live there. the energy and passion between fans and band made that whole night outstanding for me.
My wife and I were there at Download Festival 2014! We went purely to see LP. They performed Hybrid Theory from start to finish. Incredible. We also saw them in Manchester later that year. Wish we could do it all over again 💜
Same for me, but in my case Download 2011! Worth the 10+ hours without eating/drinking/bathroom breaks to squeeze into the front row!
Same Here!! it was INCREDABLE!!
I saw Linkin Park perform with Chris Cornell back in 2008 at Projekt Revolution. To see both Chester and Chris together, I treasure that. It was just MAGIC. I also saw LP 1 more time in 2014 with Thirty Seconds to Mar - and again, it was amazing. We were supposed to see them again July 27, 2017 when he passed a week before. Definitely went through the stages of grieving.
Alex it’s been so fun to watch you become a Linkin park fan as your channel has progressed. It’s definitely reignited my passion for Linkin Park and for music in general. Thank you.
Amazing artist and person. Appreciate the reactions to him and the band. Keep him alive in our hearts.
I'm so happy I got to see them live back in 2014 during their tour with AFI and 30 Seconds to Mars. Been a huge fan since Hybrid Theory dropped and will be a fan for life.
I saw them in one of their last concerts in Lima, Perú in 2017(may)
Such and incredible performance... All the good songs,
I still remember all the crowd singing all the rap part and chorus from in the end, Chester was really smiling 🥹🥹🥹 I couldn't ask more...🖤
Was lucky to be first time in my live in the last ever LP permormance in Birmingham 2017. Chester hold my hand during The One More Light song. Incerdible experiance. R.I.P Chester❤️

You are so fun to watch! I ❤️ these reaction videos. Especially for one the BEST groups of all time!
sharing the grief of not seeing them live. Damn. Lucky to live in the era where we at least have so many live concerts available to love. Going to watch that live again. A whole vibe, the sky, everything, pure magick
I had the honor of seeing both LP and Soundgarden in 2015 (different shows but same venue). Never did I ever think just a year later they'd both be gone 😢
Their performance at Rock am Ring 2004 is also killer 💯
Rock am ring 2004 was DEFINITELY their best live concert ever, the vocals, the instruments, the crowd, all of them were perfect.
Wow I never thought I’d be so lucky. I saw them live 3 times. The thing that stood out to me most was how close to their studio sound they sang. It was incredible. After all these years I still can’t get over how much they sounded like their albums.
Two BEST Chester performances are:
- A Place For My Head (Live in Texas)
- Wish (Rock am Ring 2004)
These are the two performances where Chester is really in his element.
And many many others
Rock AM Ring 2004 is my all-time favourite LP show. That extended intro to Don't Stay is epic
true story
I love Faint from Rock am Ring
I saw them in 2012 and it was truly amazing. The fans interacted with Mike so well he forgot the lyrics to a song and burst out laughing. As a thank you for going to the concert they gave us a code and 10 days later we were able to download the concert to relive the experience
Which concert were you at where Mike forgot? I saw them live in 2012 too and Mike forgot the lyrics lol
@@RandyVazquez It was Manchester
@@belladonnafox2356 ok, yeah I wasn’t at that one. I was at the Bristol, VA for the opening North America tour. Mike messed up Bleed It Out, laughed it up, and they just carried on with the set like he didn’t forget his mark lol. Good times!
I saw them live not long before it happened and they were amazing. So blessfull i still could see them. Still my favourite band from when i was just 11 now rocking 34
Saw LP, in Toronto, just before he passed away. They were a bucket list band I'm SOOOO greatful I got to see them. One of the best shows I've been to.

the biggest moment of my life was when i was at mikes post traumatic concert in munich, i somehow got to talk to him and i was in a very dark place and he just hugged me, mike is is one of the most kindest, modest and in my oppinion most taletend people with such good morals that he even gives to his fans, and chester was a musical legend, and i think the quote "often the kindest people are the ones that hurt the most inside" is him we love you chester
I was at this concert!!!! It was So Epic!!! I'm so happy that I got to see them live before Chester passed. He was so cool. I got to go backstage and say hello to them. I was so over the moon. I will NEVER forget that day. Rest in Peace Chester. ❤😢😊
I feel like Mike had so much respect and love for Chester. Just watching the pure joy on he's face while mouthing the words Chester was singing, you could see Chester's singing gave him so much joy.
saw them at this download they were immense. I am so grateful to have done so. we were all so up for it and so happy they were there! crawling was one of the best I have ever seen.
I love Pushing Me Away piano version, recorded only live.. and then, let me just say.. When Chester sings One More Light with the audience, it's just breathtakeing...
The energy of Linkin Park is unbelievable. Best band ever
Always love your energy!!
LP 🫶
I've been having a pretty dark week and its been hard, but watching this video just gave me something to make me smile and have another reason to get outta bed tomorrow... to watch Alex's videos... and get on a phone call... and you know, listen to Linkin Park.
I saw them once in 2012 on the Honda Civic tour, they played with Incubus and Mike Eizinger came out and played Bleed It Out with them after they mashed it up with Sabotage from Beastie Boys, easily one of the greatest nights of my life 💙 and Chester screaming that "THOUGHTS" in the 2nd verse is one of my favorite things that Chester would do live when they performed OSC
I watched it good show!
Mike and Chester were such an amazing combo Q.Q
I got to see LP once and only once. It was incredible, two of the best non-stop action I’ve ever been apart of. They crushed it and played SO MUCH of their discography. Can’t even explain how much fun it was.
Seen them live 3 times. And the way you described their vibe was spot on.
The radiate positive energy. Their music is medicine.
Best experience of my life. Gosh I miss them 😭💔

Linkin Park always put on great shows! Chester always puts everything out there during each performance. The last time I saw them was on my 30th bday at a festival in San Antonio. I finally won an opportunity to meet them after trying multiple times and was star struck when I met Chester. If only I would have known he would’ve passed a few years later, I would have said a lot more.
I saw Linkin Park play 5 times, they were always awesome. The mosh pit would go absolutely crazy for songs like one step closer. Actually though one moment that stayed with me was when they did a new version of My December. Chester's vocals were just out of this world, I remember the crowd just stood in silent awe. Good times.

Had the Chance to See them 10 times live - loved every Single performance an i am so happy to have this in my heart! Thanks for your passionate reaction. Was Great to watch!
I was lucky enough to see them 1 time and it was the greatest show I've been too. I was super lucky and caught a drum stick, so I will always have that memory.
I consider myself extremely lucky to the point of lunacy that I technically got to see them almost back to back in the course of 2 years. First time I saw LP was at Staples in 2011 and it was multiple dreams come true, because I finally moved back home to LA and the very next day was the concert. I never felt more alive and happy even all the way from the nosebleeds. The songs were just amazing, their presence was great, and I wanted to cry. The true lucky one would come when Living Things album came out, they announced for LPU members (which I was at the time) that they were coming to throw the first pitch at the Dodgers game and were going to have a secret concert at the Nokia Club in Downtown for select people and the tickets where gonna be FREE. I woke up an hour early before the supposedly Ticket release, and had 2 computers with multiple browsers open to ensure I got them. Once I did and went to the club... that place was tiny as all hell and I got into the pit 2nd row of people.... when they came out, it just was such an amazing moment. Halfway during show, I think was Bleed it Out, Mike came and did same thing going down and going over rail while Security held on to his ass to make sure didn't fall. He went to one side of the stage and I was pushing to try and get close but no dice, but then he came to MY side of the stage and was in front of me. I grabbed his arm and was belting all I could with the people beside me. It was truly special. After that, I also got lucky 2 more times. First, Mike threw one of his guitar picks into crowd and I caught that mid-air and still keep it sacred. The 2nd time... was after the show. I waited behind just in case, because I brought the physical album cover with me in desperate hope of something happening... Chester came back out and started giving autographs. He was sorta in like zombie mode but I ran up and showed the album cover. Dude smiled and thanked me for being such and awesome fan and gave me a hug giving one of the last 2 autographs of that night. I will never ever forget that moment and I miss him dearly
Linkin Park were the band which got me into heavy music, and music in general. I remember singing their stuff from Hybrid Theory through a home kareoke machine at 9 years old. 15 years later here I was, at Download Festival UK. My first and only time seeing them live, a moment I had waited for all those years. And what do you know - it would be their only performance of the 'Hybrid Theory' album in its entirety in UK history. What a day that was.
Little did I know a few short years later what would happen. Will always have a place in my heart for these guys and their music

One of my favorite things of seeing LP live was when they would combine several songs into one. I highly recommend checking those out!
Wretches and Kings / Skin to Bone / Remember the Name (I think it’s called “Mike’s Rap”)

Love it. I also sadly never got to see them live. I've been a fan for yrs. Just never got to see them. They dropped more new songs, btw.
Dude, you have to appreciate their concert in Texas in 2001, there was an hour and a half live. I don't know how, if every song in a separate video or all at once, but you just have to, because it's a fucking masterpiece

Would love to see a Shinedown reaction next. It's been awhile. Their newest video is a song called A Symptom of Being Human. It's a beautiful song
Just went to their concert last night! AMAZING!!!!!
I love the live in Texas version of One Step Closer, the bridge before the breakdown makes it sound so much better
I was in that crowd it was special playing of HT. It was an incredible night.
I own the dvd of live in Texas and that is an incredible show too.
One of the best live acts period tbh. So glad I got to see them
Честер всегда любил своих фанатов. Помню как он выступал с one more light. Он был простым, но в то же время великим человеком. И помог многим в сложное для них время.
This isn't their "best performance ever" as the title claims but it is a historic performance when they played Hybrid Theory in its entirety. Chester's voice was a little worn out in this show, but still gave it his usual 200%.
Worn out? I watched the whole show and I think this was probably the best his voice ever sounded. Singing voice and screams were both great. He also had great vocal control.
And if this is him at 200% then Chester in Given Up with the 18 second scream must’ve been him at 500%
I never got to see LP live, unfortunately, but every time I listen to their music now, I get so hyped, just like you did, and have to cry. It's not so much a cry of sadness, though there's a bit of that, in there, too, but crying because I get so excited by their sound! Their songs blow me away, and it's overwhelming! I did get to see Mike, live, during his Post-Traumatic tour, though, and he was absolutely fantastic. Got to see him at the meet-n-greet beforehand, too. It's weird (in a wonderful way) because he's got such an aura of serenity, or zen, about him. I don't "see" auras, or even generally feel them, but I could feel it from him. He's very calming, surprisingly, considering he's a rocker. I really wish I'd had the chance to see the band, too, though.
I got to see Linkin Park live twice. The first time was the Meteora World Tour in 2004 at the Palace of Auburn Hills, and the second time was also in 2004 for the Projekt Revolution tour at DTE Music Theater. Two of the best shows I have been to. Super thankful I got to see them not just once, but twice, before Chester's passing.
Honestly, my favorite performance of theirs that I've seen is A Place for my Head from Rock Am Ring 2004. You have to check that out if you want a great feel.
There’s no other band/musician that has concerts like Linkin Park in any form…. The energy is felt simply through a video, the energy at the concert is probably so unreal and the talent presented to you on that stage is out of this world.

I was incredibly fortunate to see LP at least 3 times in SD and LA, and I was able to go to the memorial concert they held for Chester at the Hollywood Bowl. These guys were basically the soundtrack through the better part of my formative years, have gotten me through tough times, and brought me closer to my sister who usually went to the concerts with me.
Losing Chester was hard. I still have trouble listening to songs like "Leave Out All the Rest" or "One More Light" without tearing up as I sing them. Hearing some of the previously unreleased tracks like "Lost" and "Fighting Myself" recently has been both amazing to hear more from Chester and heartbreaking, 1) knowing that we won't get to see them performed live and 2) knowing how much the pain in those lyrics was real. 💔
I saw them three times. The first time was in 2007, in Chorzow. I was very privileged, because they played so close to my home that I could take the tram there. The show was great, in the stadium where they supported Pearl Jam. I was a member of LPU at the time, met the band and have a signed copy of Minutes to Midnight. I had a word with Chester, and to this day I still have in my visual memory the way he looks me in the eyes, thanking me as I complimented his performance. Then I saw them in 2012 in Warsaw and in 2017 in Krakow. This last concert is also special, as I decided to buy tickets at the last minute and was there with my dad.
Just wanted to say..... I WAS THERE! It is one of the best live performances I've ever seen
I was aswell! It was a brilliant concert
I was also there! It was incredible, Friday headliner getting things hyped for the rest of the weekend the best way possible!
@Jason Chidwick it was only my second ever Download Festival and have to say it is probably the best headline act I've seen there! Yes Rammstein and many others could have a say on that but for me Linkin Park's performance that night was instrumentally, vocally and as a whole perfection from start to finish!
EVERY single song of theirs is like no other! I ❤️ every single one of them
Was definitely going to take my kid, "the next time they came on tour" as he was finally old enough to go to a show with me. Sigh. RIP Chester. So tragic. Thanks for highlighting these performances Alex.
I saw them twice and both gigs were unbelievable. They were sending so much energy to the audience. I have regrets that I’ve underestimated Chester’s lyrics till his tragic pass.
Best band in the world, Linkin Park music is legendary.
I was honored when I got to meet Chester at Projekt Revolution 2008. When I hugged him, he whispered in my ear "it's too late for me." My heart shattered instantly & I buried my face in his chest. R.I.P Chester ill never forget you. Much love.
its bittersweet to be able to say i was able to see them live, like im happy because theyre my fav band of all time and Chester is my biggest inspiration in life but i wish i hadnt because when i did see them i was young asf and fell asleep like half way through and dont remember anything from it. im so glad youtube exists tho cuz im able to rewatch it lmao

I have had the pleasure of seeing this amazing band in Tacoma WA, drove 4hrs from Eastern WA with a migraine. The most killer concert ever!
Love one step closer its so perfect! One of the greatest songs of Linkin Park, R.I.P. Chester
i got to see them in philly at the summer sanitarium tour at veterans stadium. in the pit in front of the stage it was one of the best moments of my life. they put on such a great show, one of the best bands ever live.
I saw them during their Meteora World tour, first concert I've been to and so far still the best! They had so much cool stuff going on with the stage, at one point the stage morphed and moved them around on like they were on a conveyer belt. When they got to One Step Closer the lighting rig above the pit started flashing and rotating, it pulled down above the stage in a giant "LP" and blasted the audience with light before it got to the "SHUT UP" part of the song. Best memories ever.
I’m so lucky to have gotten to see LP live when they toured the UK. Approaching 6 years since Chester passed and if still hurts. They were such a huge part of my teens.
I saw them all 3 times they came to Perth, Western Australia and then once in Singapore at the Singaport F1. I'm a huge LP fan, and I have to say I feel so privileged to have been able to see my favourite band live, so many times. I reckon Live in Texas is one of their best shows, and recently been remastered in HD!
Yo! I was actually at THIS performance! Download Festival 2014, I'm near the front on the left of the crowd 🤘🏻 they played the Hybrid Theory album in full for this show, followed by their other classics. It was INCREDIBLE. I'm so lucky I got to see them, and for my first festival experience, it was the best thing I could have witnessed!

I was able to see them in 2008 when they came to my city. It was such an amazing concert. I am so happy that I got to see them live. I'm not sure if they did this all the time, but you could purchase a recording of the live show and download it after the concert. I listen to this whenever I need to feel that experience again. I'm so happy I paid for this. My concert tee has long since been gone which is sad. It makes me sad that I won't be able to see them again in concert.
I was lucky enough to meet them 5 times, see them 12 times and attended one of their LPU Summits at the United Center in Chicago. The summit was literally an all day experience that included sitting in at their soundcheck. Such good memories. They were all good memories. My experience meeting them, they were all genuine.
YES!! They compliment each other so perfectly! What a incredible band as a whole. There will never be another
Saw them in Cincinnati in 2012! They were my first concert and ill remember it for the rest of my life. 😎❤️ #RIPchester

I was blessed enough to be at this show truly unforgettable! Download Festival 2014. The atmosphere was absolutely electric! And LP 100% fed off it and gave us everything we wanted.
saw them 3 times, best concerts i've been to. its magical. i also got the chance to touch chesters hand when he was coming down to the crowd. it was amazing! miss him so much, thank you ALL for keeping him and Linkin Park alive!! Greetings from germany!
I got to see them live, and it was incredible I still have some videos on my phone R.I.P Chester I miss you dearly
Saw them in NYC at MSG. So freaking awesome! Loved every second of it and never say down ever!. Was planning on seeing them again, but with the untimely passing of Chester made that not happen.
love your reactions you make me laugh so much and pull us into all that excitement with you
I was there for this performance, it was amazing! ❤
