Admission was at 7 p.m. and the hall of the Colos-Saal filled up more and more until it was packed just before the start. After I knew that I could take pictures during the whole concert and that there was no photo pit anyway, I decided to start from the back. It started punctually at 8 p.m. and due to my decision, I was able to see and enjoy a really cool intro as a whole. They started with one of my favorite songs, Papercut, which they really rocked. One hit after the other followed, but also some songs that I didn’t know at all. I realized that there was obviously still a lot of gaps in my Linkin Park knowledge. But that doesn’t change the fact that a 55-minute long and intense celebration took place here, which you could only enjoy.

[See image gallery at catchingmovement.de] The break lasted exactly 15 minutes, but it also surprised the spectators a bit when it suddenly continued. What followed was a great show similar to that of the first 55 minutes. The only thing I missed was a real moshpit, but when they played Breaking the habit, it suddenly started. A little late, but better late than never. Before that tho, there was something special. Singer Lukas went in the middle of the audience to sing One More Light from there. I was able to capture the whole thing from the stage, take a look for yourself in the pictures. Great moment. Lukas then wanted to treat himself to his crowdsurfing moment of the evening during Crawling and let the audience carry him from the stage to the back of the mixing desk while he sang, only to then continue singing while walking from the back to the front again. After that, the band left the stage, just to come back to the typical “encore” shouts. They closed the evening with three songs and finished it with the song that gave the band its name, One Step Closer. After a little more than two hours, the evening was over and I was thrilled. The band can be recommended for hard core Linkin Park fans. I’ll gladly go and see them again.

[See image gallery at catchingmovement.de] The concert was opened just like the album, with Crystallize and Alien. During the evening every song from the album was played, except Black And Gold and the cover Crush. A special atmosphere arose during the last single In My Blood, as the stage was soaked in a deep red color to match the music. Afterwards was a small intermission, where the fans called “encore, encore”. Nastassja came back on stage alone to deny anyone who doubted her singing talent. Break Through was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. Even tho Crush was not played that evening, there was still place for a cover, which was Summer Son from Texas. Just like on the album Phoenix, it was the penultimate song of the evening. Finishing the evening was Phoenix. It was a fitting conclusion of a memorable concert, which was the first concert of the band for over a year. Just like a Phoenix from the ashes, they came back with a bang.
