[audience cheers]
Chester Bennington: good luck to everyone of you guys man. We were on the other side of the barricade a few years ago, man. Coming to these shows, seeing our favorite bands and having the dreams. Just persevere, believe in yourself. One day you'll be up here with us. Or Metallica or Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Mudvayne

halfway good

I like Linkin PArk. They're one of the few modern bands i actually DO enjoy listening to. So when I saw a copy of Live in Texas, i was more than a little disappointed.

If you're a big fan of the band, then the part that you're fans of-the music-is excellent. Sound quality is amazing, and the band sounds excellent live. The combination of all the members fits together exactly like on the CD. However, if you like the music i think you're better off just buying a CD.

The video did nothing short of bore me. I would have turned it off if it weren't for the music. The cameraman didn't really seem to know how to do this, as the camera seems to feel its a good idea to stay on the lead singer and only the lead singer. What about the guitarists? The DJ guy? Well, he does get a bit of time. But worst of all was how the lead singer didn't really do anything. He just stood and sang. No on-stage antics or anything. He ran around a little, but that's really the extent. Also was the slow motion effect. I don't mind slow motion...until now. They used it at bad times. It made me wonder what they were thinking.

What i found funny was when they were trying to incite a mosh pit. They wanted maybe 30 feet by 30 feet...i think they got 30 people in the end to join. That was probably the best part of this (after the music of course), and was certainly the only part i remember.
