    I just finished listening to a few live performances of Pushing Me Away (the piano rendition), and the Road to Revolution performance of it struck me as about as close to perfect (Especially in pitch) as you can get live. I actually listened to it twice just to be sure, and it was equally impressive on both listens - not just because of Chester's near-flawless delivery, but also by the harmony of his voice with Mike's fantastic piano melody.

    Listening to that song gave me the idea for this thread, as I think it'd be fun to share what we each think is the best live performance of a Linkin Park song.

    Now, I've already chosen mine, but what do YOU think is their best performance?

    I have a bit of a weird one here ... Given Up from Melbourne 2007, Night 2, the night Chester broke his wrist. I just absolutely love how he yelled ''You fucking ready!!!'' right before the last chorus. Not sure why, but to me, it's an epic performance of Given Up and probably my favorite live moment for LP so far. I have more favorite live performances for DBS than I do for LP.

    Faint - Rock Am Ring 2007. Chester's screams were a cross between demonic and classic-rock-god.

    Shadow of the Day at Road to Revolution in Milton Keynes.

    It felt so intimate and I just get goosebumps every time I listen to Chester saying "Yes it will" and "YEAAAAAH" while Brad rocked it out with the simple, but absolutely amazing solos near the end of the song.

    A Place For My Head on Live In Texas or at Rock Am Ring 2004 are pretty iconic in my opinion.

    I'm sure there are others I could think of if I thought about it for a bit.

    That whole Rio+ Social (or whatever the fuck its called) was really fucking cool. The AOL sessions were cool too. Only time I've seen Chester do the full given up scream.

    One of my favourite performances of A Place for My Head. I just wish the quality was a little bit better!
