a thousand meteoric minutes to theoretically hybridised solar midnight--

Last night I went to a Linkin Park concert and it was fucking AMAZINGGGGG <3333

1. I went with Fio and Em and we were in the silver reserved seating area which was in the section furthest away from the stage but I didn't mind because it meant we weren't pressed by people on all sides like the guys in the mosh pit (though the front row guys there would've had the most awesome view) so it was quite comfortable, and because we could sit down.

2. But the seat thing was whatever because for the actual Linkin Park concert (i.e. excluding the breaks and stage changing and the support act) I think I spent almost half the time on my feet, screaming/cheering and singing/yelling along with everyone around me :'D

3. Every time an 'old' song (i.e. from their first three albums, before A Thousand Suns) came on, everyone pretty much jumped up and cheered, especially the ones with really distinctive openings, e.g. Numb, In The End. And people sang along to those. Not so much singing along to the ATS songs though.

4. That said, during 'The Messenger', at the end, the "ohh-oh-oh" kind of part... Chester stopped singing partway through and instead it was just the whole audience singing the very last part together and it was like nawwww BELONGING AHAHAHAHHA. But yeah seriously, that was really nice. Did I mention that 'The Messenger' is a really sweet song? It was acoustic too and it was so nice. And while we all sang along to the old songs, for this one, which was both new AND a quiet song, everyone shut up. Except for the last part, heheh. LISTEN TO THE SONG (: [ link ]

5. By the time the concert was over I actually could not talk properly for 10 mins or so, my voice had changed notably in pitch and hoarseness, what with all the scream-cheering I did hahahah - I wondered if I annoyed anoyone there... seeing as I'm not physically able to cheer/scream in a roar like guys, I resorted to shrieking instead. HAHAHAH. Yeah I'm a fangirl etc. etc.

6. I definitely didn't expect to enjoy myself as much as I did, partly because I didn't really know how good Linkin Park were live, and also because I didn't really like any of the ATS songs prior to the concert... and because my LP obsession had just waned significantly since its 07-08 zenith. Needless to say, however, I did enjoy myself very very very much (:

So yes it was WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT <3
