Was at that. The bands before them were shit but the Linkin Park lads tore that place up. Not my best concert, think that Slipknot in 2020 at the 3 arena

Linkin Park in Berlin in a "smaller" club. 12th September 2001. They decided to play and not cancel despite everything and gave 200%. Chester and Mike came out after the gig for an unscheduled meet and greet with the few remaining people that hadn't left yet

best concert by far for me
