Linkin Park played at Rock am Ring in Germany today and the concert was available to watch as a live stream and oh my god, 10/10 experience. I enjoyed every moment of it and cried during Catalyst and Waiting for the End. I sung along to every song as if I was there and it was just so fun!
First off, Bye Bye Bye being the pre-show song was so fun BUT THEN THE UNSHATTER MOVIE TRAILER?? Absolute Cinema. I was so hyped, I am defo seeing it in theaters if it's near me. Also With You was played live for the first time since 2014 AND it was the opening track!!
So happy to have made it to the live stream and lucky that I was mostly home alone so I could proper enjoy it. I was so excited when I heard the creation intro for Catalyst and then Catalyst started playing and I was good until the bridge where I just. started bawling.
I don't know, usually I don't get emotional over the Catalyst but it was mainly just experiencing it live in a way and thinking about one day seeing it in real life and also the confetti and stuff it was just so emotional for me and I was basically crying the rest of the song
Then we had Burn It Down which gave me a bit of relief AND THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT WAS WHERE'D YOU GO AND WAITING FOR THE END. Cried. literally nearly sobbed during WFTE. That song is just really hard hitting for me in general so yeah... rest of the concert I was good tho
I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THIS CONCERT AS IF I WAS ACTUALLY THERE BUT RAGGHHH IT WAS SUCH A GOOD CONCERT SO HAPPY TO HAVE WATCHED IT!!! I'm really excited for the Unshatter movie (Idk if excited is weird to use since. it's a documentary about the aftermath of Chester's death).
Anyway... if I cried during a live stream I'd most certainly cry in real life at a concert bro oh my gosh. Also, the pyrotechs were so loud my ears kept getting shattered.
