That is an awesome review man! I absolutely had the best time of my life at this show! I was thinking about writing a review for it, but thank you for doing a much better job then I would've haha. I absolutely lost it reading that because I swear to you, my friend Matt and I were the ones that yelled FUCK YOU at Armor for Sleep, right in the dead center front of the revolution stage area. I haven't laughed that hard in so long, because you actually remembered that. The Hawthorne Heights singer also called me out as I was taking my shirt off, he said something like "Hell yeah, this guy knows it's a rock show, he's taking his shirt off." haha I'm so fucking glad you wrote that about Armor for Sleep, made my week.

Hey, I've been checking out this site for almost a year now, but this is my first post. Man, I've got to say this night was one of the best of my life. It was the first (of two, so far) times I've seen LP, and I almost didn't get to go because of the heinous amount of snow on the Cumberland Plateau (I live in Knoxville, so I had to drive over to Plateau to Nashville). Anyway, I got to the Sommet Center at about 6:00, and made my way with my (ex now….bitch) girlfriend almost to the front in time to see Chiodos play. We were about six rows back and I enjoyed them, and Coheed & Cambria was pretty good too, even though I got a little bored during their set. Claudio can play the hell out of the guitar. Finally, it was time for Linkin Park to set up. I have listened to Linkin Park for six years, and barely missed seeing them in Atlanta in 2007, so needless to say I was ridiculously pumped at this point. I know every word and couldn't wait to see what their set would hold. I also had not even heard of this site yet, so I had NO idea what to expect from the band. As they finally began setting the stage I was really impressed with their giant screen set up and the way the stage led up to Rob's drums and Joe's set up. As time wore on and my adrenaline wore off just a little, I got a little worried because it had been an hour and there was no sign of LP yet. Then. . . . . . REALLY started the best night of my life. J Next was Valentine's Day which I loved for the first time since I got Minutes to Midnight. Chester messed up a line in the middle, but I still got chills again. Numb and Shadow of the Day were perfect too, and after Chester played the guitar in SOTD, he threw his pick that hit me in the chest! I was lucky enough to have some fat lady crush the hell out of my hand for it, and she won, with her husband looking at me like I had tried to kill her. Crawling and In the End were also incredible. I loved the Reanimation intro to Crawling, and the crowd was the loudest of the whole main set during In the End. Bleed it Out was awesome and full of extenders with everything but the sing-a-long part. Rob nailed the solo perfectly and Chester's growls were perfect as they had been the whole night. That signaled the first encore break. At this point I was covered in sweat, beer, and everything in between. The crowd roared when Chester started My December and it was a great piano performance. It led into Breaking the Habit which was absolutely epic. The intro and entire song was chilling. I, being the idiot I was, started to leave after this, heading towards the middle of the aisle in the floor. I had the best night of my life, only slightly disappointed they didn't play OSC. As I reached the middle, I heard the guitar strum. . . I freaked the hell out because A. I recognized A Place for my Head, and B. Mike Shinoda ran two feet past me, gave me a high five, then jumped up on the rail and into the pit! HOLY SHIT! APFMH was out of control, Chester's screams were EPIC, Mike headbanged the whole time on the edge of the pit and sprayed silly string into it, as a crowd surfer in a full leg cast went by him. The "Go Away's" by the crowd were awesome too! Then my night's dreams were fulfilled as One Step Closer kicked in; I love it as a closer to a show, and Mike pumped the crowd up one last time before the bridge, Chester told the world to SHUT UP and the extended outro was fucking sweet. ONE HELL OF A NIGHT It wasn't quite over because I ended up snowed in on the side of the interstate in my car all night, and made it home at seven the next morning, which didn't phase me after my awesome night. I thought it was ironic that Chester's screams were so real that night because it was only a night or so before he got really sick and they cancelled the shows. It was an incredible show, I really recommend the SBD, and if anyone's interested I have some really really good pictures from the show. I also have clips of videos of every song (mainly the screams and choruses) on Youtube under Ethanmr909. If anybody was there or is interested I can email those suckers to you.

Oops I forgot the intro and outro of POA earlier haha sorry

I typed this earlier today, possibly not as good as the above review which I hadn't had time to read yet, but another prospective. . . Hey, I’ve been checking out this site for almost a year now, but this is my first post. Man, I’ve got to say this night was one of the best of my life. It was the first (of two, so far) times I’ve seen LP, and I almost didn’t get to go because of the heinous amount of snow on the Cumberland Plateau (I live in Knoxville, so I had to drive over to Plateau to Nashville). Anyway, I got to the Sommet Center at about 6:00, and made my way with my (ex now….bitch) girlfriend almost to the front in time to see Chiodos play. We were about six rows back and I enjoyed them, and Coheed & Cambria was pretty good too, even though I got a little bored during their set. Claudio can play the hell out of the guitar. Finally, it was time for Linkin Park to set up. I have listened to Linkin Park for six years, and barely missed seeing them in Atlanta in 2007, so needless to say I was ridiculously pumped at this point. I know every word and couldn’t wait to see what their set would hold. I also had not even heard of this site yet, so I had NO idea what to expect from the band. As they finally began setting the stage I was really impressed with their giant screen set up and the way the stage led up to Rob’s drums and Joe’s set up. As time wore on and my adrenaline wore off just a little, I got a little worried because it had been an hour and there was no sign of LP yet. Then. . . . . . REALLY started the best night of my life. The lights went out and fog machines started. . . and I heard the sirens of the intro to What I’ve Done. Through the haze I saw Phoenix and Brad take their places, Rob and Joe step up, and through the smog walked Chester just as the keyboard started. The crowd went nuts and stayed crazy the entire night. Chester voice was dead-on the entire night (I know A LOT more about LP’s shows now than I did then), and his screams were ridiculous too. His voice seriously is perfect on every song if you haven’t heard the SBD yet; it’s really good. Everyone sang along to WID, and when the last note faded, I heard the drums kick in for Faint. This is one of my favorites, so I lost it, not expecting something this great so early in the set. Mike was just as on as Chester, energetic and smiling the whole show. The outro to Faint was completely bad ass and Chester ripped all three screams well, and I hopped in the pit during the bridge and outro. I could not believe how great LP sounded live! I mean, I’d heard Live in Texas however many times, but the experience of being there with thousands of other crazy fans was indescribable. After Faint, the short intro to No More Sorrow kept the show rolling with intensity. Mike told everyone to put our hands up and clap, which we did, of course. Again, Chester nailed the singing and screaming, and the crowd was out of control the entire time. I was flabbergasted by Chester’s stage presence, his jumps off the stage set up were perfect during Faint and SIB especially. After NMS, the intro to Somewhere I Belong rocked my world. The crowd clapped along, and as the song hit, Chester pulled the scream just like the one at the beginning of Wth>You. At this point I was mind blown by the clarity of the sound and their intense show as I again thanked God for buying the digital download pack. Lying From You was next, and Mike really pumped up the crowd before and during this song. Chester again nailed the screams and the crowd sang along the whole time. Next was one of my personal favorites from Meteora, which I did not expect them to play at the time. Chester absolutely ripped it as From the Inside hit, pulling off one hell of a nine second scream, and still hitting the soft beginning notes of the song. Points of Authority was next, and I loved the …………… intro, it’s my favorite of all the Fort Minor verses I’ve heard, and the crowd loved it. What made this song perfect and unique though was the speakers going out during the outro. All we could hear was the guitar echo and as Mike rapped ……………… we had no idea what he was saying. We still loved it anyway, but when Mike realized what was going all we heard was “TURN THE FUCKING SPEAKERS ON” just as the fucking speakers turned on. The best part was he worked it into the rap, which went like “You can love it, you can hate it, don’t mistake it. Everybody TURN THE FUCKING SPEAKERS ON!” Next, they launched into the best performance of Hands Held High that I’ve heard so far ever. The Amen’s were perfect and Mike was so into the verses it gave and still gives me chills hearing it now. Mike pumped everyone up by talking about how people in the south consider getting the middle finger a good thing on stage. Haha, everyone enjoyed that. Next was Wake, which perfectly got everyone rowdy for Given Up. Chester didn’t quite make the full scream, but every scream in his performance was gut wrenching! During the second verse Brad had some fun with the guitar, adding in a little short finger tapping metal solo. I got in the pit again and actually got knocked down while Chester was being put out of his misery. J Next was Valentine’s Day which I loved for the first time since I got Minutes to Midnight. Chester messed up a line in the middle, but I still got chills again. Numb and Shadow of the Day were perfect too, and after Chester played the guitar in SOTD, he threw his pick that hit me in the chest! I was lucky enough to have some fat lady crush the hell out of my hand for it, and she won, with her husband looking at me like I had tried to kill her. Crawling and In the End were also incredible. I loved the Reanimation intro to Crawling, and the crowd was the loudest of the whole main set during In the End.
