Okay, long post dedicated entirely to Linkin Park. Since I didn't have class yesterday I spent the entire day in preparation for linkin park. Which consisted of listening to every song on every single one of their albums, and picking out what to wear to a rock concert. haha
I ended up wearing a dress, even though I said I wouldn't and I am SO glad I did because it got intense and sweaty during the concert. Halfway through I took off my belt cause it kept falling cause I was jumping up and down. I pretty much stood for 3 hours in 4 inch heels and believe me I jumped and danced and ran a little bit in these shoes as well. haha my feet were numb a few times, but how can you sit down during a rock concert?? So jealous of the people that got to touch mike shinoda :/
Dress : Forever21
Belt : UrbanOutfitters
Shoes : ASOS
Jewelry : Express/BananaRep
Jacket : D Collection @UrbanOutfitters
I actually bought this jacket in two colors, black and camel. Orig. it was 150, but I got it for 15 o.O what a crazy markdown... At first I thought it was a mistake but I'm not complaining.
Linkin Park Concert Tee!
This is a pic from our seats, I was SURPRISED when I saw how close we were to the stage.. I mean I was a bit worried when I bought them that we were going to be a bit behind the stage, but since it was V shaped we saw everything!!!
Oh yeah the opening band was Paper Tongues, you may have heard their song, Get Higher on the radio. They were good, but not comparable to linkin park... not at all.
Weird to see the bass guitarist in a cowboy hat.. haha just cause we're in texas...
That's mike with the hair and of course Chester screaming his lungs out.. :)
Joe "Mister Hahn" on the turntables... he got pretty hefty
ow ow OW! whOoOOOoOo!!!! *fist pumping* jumping up and down
(The flag says houston linkin park thanks for rescheduling) NO PROBLEM!
On the drums for the song, When They Come For Me off of A Thousand Suns. Not one of my favorites, but the drums were nice.
GAH my point and shoot was KILLING me! I took like 107 photos and these were pretty much the decent ones.
A sea of cell phones
Chester singing Iridescent, as the first song for the encore performance. When he opened his mouth I was in awe, he sounds freaking awesome LIVE.
Mike Shinoda in the crowd on the right.
So they had a pretty cool screen in the background with awesome graphics, but no light show or whatever. All they really need is the stage and it would still be awesome. I was impressed by how high energy they were. For a live performance it was prob the best I've ever seen. They played a lot of old stuff, which is the BEST, but I was a bit disappointed they didn't sing Faint, or Leave Out all the Rest.
More LP gear, I was a happy camper :) I want to go again, I wish I could go to more concerts like this. Totally worth every penny. I HAVE to have to see them again in concert someday. Right now I'm watching their concert DVD, not the same... but still amazing.
