    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.

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!

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.

    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

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.

    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.

    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

  • @jariemonah

    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%.

    • @LeonBurchardt
      @LeonBurchardt Год назад +2

      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.

    • @artanmcmanus
      @artanmcmanus Год назад +1

      And if this is him at 200% then Chester in Given Up with the 18 second scream must’ve been him at 500%

  • @naynay3710

    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.

  • @alexanderthered5603
    @alexanderthered5603 Год назад +8

  • @cademorgan9519
    @cademorgan9519 Год назад +6

    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. 💔

  • @theUnicornOfPower

    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!

  • @aaronfriesen5749
    @aaronfriesen5749 Год назад

    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 reckon Live in Texas is one of their best shows, and recently been remastered in HD!

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.
