05.26.2012 - Lisbon, Portugal - Rock in Rio

This is the closest thing I've seen to thinking it was Until it Breaks :

“Until It Breaks” starts with Shinoda rapping over a swaggering beat, surrounded by beats coming at him from all angles. The song shifts into a Kanye West-like rap thump into real instruments—strings, keys—under Bennington’s vocal as he prays for the “strength of the rising sun.” The ambient sonics grew louder and stronger as the voices succumbed to the machines."

Doesn't confirm any lyrics in Shinoda's rap to start the song, but "starts with rapping over a swaggering beat"...sounds like its it. Until it Breaks though has also been described as "their most poignant ballad ever"...it'd be funny if a swagger-loaded rap was followed by a poignant ballad.

 

LOATR is so much more powerful on piano.

 

beautiful LOATR intro!

 

crowd singing along >>>>

 

Chester - We fucking love you! Your voice is so fucking awesome <3

 

It´s a trap

 

I love the medley.

lol omg guys with the girl talks -.-.

 

Aww man Rob's drumming on SOTD . . .

 

You are right.

 

Is it me or did they increase the tempo in Shadow of the day?

 

It would make sense. When he was rapping, I thought it sounded very Kanye like.

 

The medley is just great.

 

That Crowd.

 

Its nice to see the crowd know the lyrics!

 

That medley is beautiful to listen to.

 

I love the piano outro to Iridescent. LOVE it.

Catalyst coming up?

 

They were using Iridescent in the background of SOTD.

 

Iridescent IZ SO AMAZING...THE crowd love it

 

It's nice to see them wake up lol. I felt they were almost dead for the first 3-5 songs. I think Numb lit a fire under them which is kind of funny because it's not necessarily a crowd-blaster in energy...but it's a fan favourite so...

 

Who else is thinking that this is one of their best concerts?
