Rock on pt. 2 of 2
Last Thursday I went to the Garden with my brother, sister and Francis to see Linkin Park. Apparently, it was the band’s first time playing at Madison Square Garden. Personally, the Garden is my favorite venue to see live music. The concert was fantastic and they played for an hour and a half. The crowd was so hyper that you can feel the floor vibrating from the screaming and foot stomping. Also, the people in the pit (people who were standing in front of the stage) went rabid as Chester Bennington sang Crawling off the stage and in the pit. Then Mike Shinoda performed A Place for My Head as he “surfed” the audience near the stage. The highlight of the show was their encore with Jay-Z, who magically appeared from the bowels of the Garden. They performed their mash-up hit ‘Numb/Encore’ and ‘Jigga What/Faint’ from their 2004’s collaborative effort ‘Collision Course’. We capped the night off at the 2nd ave deli, mmm pirogies and smoked salmon.
