“CONCERT REVIEW: Linkin Park Rocks Diverse Audience at Jiffy Lube Live

One wouldn’t necessarily paint a Linkin Park concert as an all-ages show; however, Aug. 11 at Jiffy Lube Live appeared more family-friendly than expected, despite the occasional expletive.

Not that the messages put forth in Linkin Park’s music is relevant across generations, but there’s no doubt that teens, adults and even seniors were connecting on Saturday night.

And the enthusiasm of the audience was everything that Linkin Park could have asked for on the opening night of their Honda Civic-sponsored 2012 world tour.

Despite the absence of the alt-rock band Incubus from this date of the tour, from the opening salvo of high-energy songs “With You,” “Faint,” and “Given Up,” the crowd was poised to participate with hands raised and fists pumping.

As singer/guitarist Chester Bennington belted out the melodies, rapper/guitarist Mike Shinoda provided the perfect counter-balance as they traded the spotlight throughout the evening. Likewise, the band’s fusion of guitar-driven energy blended with hip-hop and scratching turntables demonstrated why the band attracts such a diverse audience.”

As this is the first tour since I’ve started LPFC, you’ll get to know a brand new feature here: the show info posts. As always, I will present you a summary of all news about a certain show by quoting other fan sites who’ve been doing tour posts for years now. In addition to that, I will update the show info post after the show with links to pictures, the set list and press articles. Sounds like fun!

So, let’s start with the first show of the Honda Civic Tour – Bristow, VA! As always, the LPA was super fast with their pre show post, giving us all the juicy details about the show:

“Coming off their show at the SiriusXM Town Hall Special, which was the band’s first live appearance since their performance at the X games back in late June, Linkin Park is officially kicking off the 2012 Honda Civic Tour tonight in Bristow, Virginia at Jiffy Lube Live. MUTEMATH will be the opening act, but Incubus will not join the tour until its 3rd show in Mansfield, Massachusetts. For Linkin Park, this will be their 5th time playing in Bristow. They last played there on July 27th, 2008 as a part of Projekt Revolution.

Tonight’s show in Bristow will be the start of a tour that has been highly anticipated by many fans since its announcement back in April. Prior to the full release of LIVING THINGS, the only songs from the new album that have been played live are BURN IT DOWN, LIES GREED MISERY, and TINFOIL. Also, Mike has rapped the last verse of UNTIL IT BREAKS over the intro of Waiting for the End on several occasions. However, with the full album now being released, fans can expect to see a lot more songs from LIVING THINGS to make their live debut on this tour. In fact, it has already been reported that LOST IN THE ECHO was played at the SiriusXM Town Hall Special earlier this week (the performance will air on Octane channel 37, on Tuesday, August 14 at 9:00 pm ET).”

You might have heard that there was a dress rehearsal yesterday and the guys from LPLive (their interview will be up soon by the way) were part of it, eating pizza with LPUers and lurking around at the parking lot until security kicked them out (Follow @Hahninator and @jonaslpl on Twitter). Well done, guys!
They were so nice to share the set list with us, which includes LIVING THINGS songs that were never played before and an incredible mix of VICTIMIZED and QWERTY. Personally I’m very happy that they rehearsed “When they come for me”, one of my favorite tracks ever, which means that they might keep it in the set list.
