Everyone is sharing this moment with him. Doing the performance. Hes just leading them. Going through the motions. You can hear it in his voice. He asked them to put down the cards for now. Later raise them but right now. Just be with him.
I mean, his absence is inescapable on a stage for these guys now. One day, it’ll be a new normal, but every second those performances without him there, having to fill in his spot, I’m sure it made no difference with them yelling his name.
I find myself really MOURNING Chester even though I never met him. His music was just so POWERFUL and heartfelt and helped me thru some very tough times. I felt like he was a personal friend was gone and it still hurts. The weirdest thing is hurting for someone you didn't even know. I have a hard time watching his videos especially One More Light. He sings of a chair being empty at the table and I just don't understand how someone with knowing how his family would feel looking at that empty chair. Depression is like cancer.
Had to be really tough for him to have nothing, have it all, lose it all. Be used to being in a group. Then put himself out there. To do this with no instruments or band members to hide behind. He didnt just lose a friend. He lost a co worker, business partner, career, confidant, peer and essentially family member. Incredible for Mike to do this, when he could just hide and feel bad for himself. Im sure he has more than enough people around him that would allow him to hide and wallow. Incredibly grounded, humble, accepting and strong. If you werent a Linkin Park fan. You should atleast be a Mike Shinoda fan. Hes turned me into 1. And I just knew him as the rapping guy in Linkin Park. Love you Mike. Stay you. Inspirational. Thanks for showing the way.
This is so sweet. Thank you for this. He didn't get the support he deserves for a very long time. His bestfriend and brother would be incredibly proud of him for doing this. Chester is just there, standing beside him. He's not alone. He will never be. He would live forever in Mike's heart until his last breath. That I know, for sure. ❤
I've never seen any other artist do things to such an extent for his friend...its like he doesn't want Chester to die, as in to be forgotten, he wants to keep him alive as much as he can and this speaks a lot about his character. Its true. More than anyone in this world, its Mike Shinoda who makes Chester proud. I bet Chester's watching all of this and smiling.#MikeShinoda #LinkinParkForever
Our most favourite ancestors and friends live through us. I totally understand why he'd want Chester to live on through his actions... and it's for a brother, and he'd do it for all his brothers, because that's how Mike is.
You just made me ball my eyes out again!😭😭😭 You are so completely right 🥺 I just can not believe its more then 3 years ago already since Chesters passing. It still hurts, like it just happened yesterday anytime it comes to my mind!
Don't mind,just my dream....someday to perform with Linkin park😁I am a guitarist And specially a huge fan of Linkin park.... specially with Mike.....cuz he's the only guy left now in Linkin park 😢 Wish Chester would be now somewhere in better place That torture....rarely someone understands his pressure Staying away from family Kids Specially parents Band tensions And rest other his personal problems It was all shown in his voice in his last music one more light And again that day in Mike's voice
Strip away the fame, the fortune, the success, and what do you have in Mike Shinoda? Easily the greatest friend a person could have. If you’re special enough to have Mike in your life, you have easily the most real, down to earth person there is. We should all try to “be like mike.”
Every show he talks about something genuine from the heart not just a pre wrote speech and then the fans just top off it with harmony to mike and his piano #makechesterproud
His 1 man shows are just his own grieving process. It's been 4 years and I cant not cry about Chester. I can't imagine Mike. Hearing his fans clap back is probably what he needed more than therapy.
Sadly we no longer have Chester, but we still have Mike and as along as we still listen to Mike and linkin park then Chester's legacy will live on forever
fallen fame What about the rest of Linkin Park ? Have Rob Bourdon, Joe Hahn, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Brad Delson had their say? Seems Mike is the only one lost a friend and band mate but he wasn’t. Would love to have the rest of the band just for the LP songs and receive the support Mike does on his tour .. They are LP too it wasn’t just Chester & Mike.
@@SINASTERWAYS they are fully supporting Mike through what hes doing, but everyone has their own way of healing. They might not be ready to be back on stage yet without Chester. Joe is doing some DJ work I believe, Dave is doing podcasts. Mike is doing tours, it's how they deal with it.

Just don't mind me either! I'm a big man cryin' as well! Gosh darn! #FuckDepression #MakeChesterProud #LongLiveLinkinPark #WhoCaresIfOneMoreLightGoesOut
Hackyy Gaming I scrolled down when his piano was playing in the beginning and I burst into tears because I just can't take the loss of one of the greatest musical artist
I love that he still gets up there and does Linkin Park songs and has the fans sing Chester's sections. He's keeping the memory of Chester alive every single time he gets on that stage. He's an amazing person, artist and friend.
Linkin Park is his baby. I don’t think he could ever let go of that. Linkin Park might have lost their voice, but it still has the brain(Mike) and the rest of every contributing member
Linkin park is one of the bands who's songs will stick in my memories forever. Soundtrack to my teenage years, to so many emotions, new experiences, friendships, they're so special to me, and I guess to everyone that reads this. I dont know what Im trying to say, this video is both heartwarming and heartbreaking
This was sooo emotional. I was in the crowd. People were crying including me. So sweet. The whole show was absolutely incredible. His absolute best yet ❤ a night I will never forget in my life
This is utterly heartbreaking. I can’t imagine what he feels not hearing Chester sing his parts.. I know how it makes me feel and it’s hearth wrenching.
I am so very sorry for your loss and I hope that knowing your son is at peace and having a connection this community can help bring you some peace as well.
Today it's already 6 years we lost Chester ❤️🔥 And this evening was the first time at a concert when nearly every single one around me was crying - including the people behind the bar! The crowd was so incredible and very emotional. I'm still thankful for the opportunity to have this evening (and in Oberhausen) together with other fans and #mikeshinoda 🫂 Fly high #chesterbennington fly high!
I like how people pay to go to his shows so that they can sing most of the songs. That's original. I've never seen artists do that to this extent before. I guess it makes people feel as though they're part of something though and that's cool.
It's really special. Although he usually does about 8 or 9 of his new solo album or fort minor songs. Then he does about 4-5 linkin park songs which the crowd helps with.
Mike Faller well this show wasn’t about the band. It was about paying the respect to Chester and to Mike. It was a way for all these people that are feeling the same emotion, the same hurt, to come together and let it all loose. It wasn’t about the songs, it was about the feeling. Mike knew that and that’s why he did the show that way.
It's different. Like 30 Seconds to Mars, when Jared has the crowd sing parts, it feels like he is showing his control or glory (which is fine, that's his thing, which I enjoy at times). Shinoda does it to share something with the audience, to bond with them and kinda share that emotion and memory that Linkin Park and Chester evoked. Also, I think it's an artistic statement because I remember after the Tribute show he said in an interview that having people sub in for Chester just didn't feel quite right, so this is his compromise (although he does have a wonderful guitarist/vocalist who joined him in these shows to do some of Chester's parts).
These guys are my childhood. For all my life, they stuck with me. They helped me during the bad and the ugly. And I well I love them and miss Chester severely even though it's been two years. Everything feels so off now, I keep thinking this is all a dream and one day I'll wake up and find Chester singing on that stage...
These speeches make me smile, whilst at the same time feeling like I've been kicked in the stomach. Its a weird combination of proudness and grief. Anybody else feel the same?
Mike is such a loyal friend, he does these stuff so that chester will be remembered. He doesn't care if he does it alone, he just want to do this for chester. R.I.P Chester. God bless you both💗 #makechesterproud
Mike, your statement at 4:40 is hitting me hard in the heart right now. That is exactly how I feel. Chester, Kurt... Thanks for posting this, Raissa. ❤
I usually hate it when people are recording during a concert (well...who doesn't?) and it actually annoyed the heck out of me with this show, because you could barely see anything with all those phones up... Buuut you were front row and not only did you have the opportunity to film the most amazing concert's most amazing moment up close, but you actually shared it with the rest of the world...what I'm trying to say here is: thank you so so much!!
As a person who haven't had the opportunity to go these concerts when they are nearby, I love it. No it's not that I'm cheap, but the production recorded shows aren't the "same" kinda. Thanks from me too ☺️
What i think would be epic is if Mike recorded a Linkin Park anthology album with all of Chester's parts sung by a properly coordinated and mic'd stadium chrous. He could partner with a group like the Rockin 1000 since they have the experience recording large groups like that. I would be an obscene amount of money for an album like that, especially if the money could in part go towards Chester's family and mental health charities
He deserves equal love!! We've lost one legend may be we didn't show him much love but let's show our love for this guy.. Cus he is alive... We shall make him feel special everyday.
mjacksparrow Fans need to think of beyond Mike. What about the rest of Linkin Park ? Have Rob Bourdon, Joe Hahn, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Brad Delson had their say? Seems Mike is the only one lost a friend and band mate but he wasn’t. Would love to have the rest of the band just for the LP songs and receive the support Mike does on his tour .. They are LP too it wasn’t just Chester & Mike.
@@SINASTERWAYS this is what has amazed me all this time. Where are other guys and not talking about it? But anyway that doesn't make me feel less for Mike.
"what you're doing with this show is making grief fun." "what can I do in my life to make somebody else - who is feeling like they are worthless, like they don't have anything to look forward to, or that they don't mean anything to other people - what can I do to make them feel worthwhile or important or loved?" 5:27 - In The End 7:44 - Heavy 8:57 - Burn It Down 10:02 - Numb
The fanbase is actually a bit of a hive mind, I like LP but if you don't like a song or an album you will always be heavily down voted by the hardcore Linkin Park "street soldiers", they are only enjoyable to associate with if you are a hardcore "love 100% of everything LP ever released" type of fan.
@@JMc-ki7kq I agree, sometimes they are overprotective. I think everybody should feel free to share an opinion (not being offensive, of course). It's just music. In my comment I was referring to how supportive they are in moments like this. Since Chester passed we helped each other a lot. Of course we are not a perfect community, there's a lot of drama sometimes and I don't like it at all.
I'm a hardcore love 100% everything of LP ever released type of fan since I have a very broad taste of music. Totally understand what you are saying though. Just know that there is at least one person in the community (and I know many more) that will totally fine with it if you don't like everything that LP has ever made
Yes, very supportive indeed! And as long as people share their opinion without being offensive it's totally ok! I also don't like all the drama that comes along with it so many times.... We're here to support each other right? If you don't like some songs or things it's fine. Just as long as we are all being nice to each other in the end and respect each other
Linkin Park’s style is ever changing, one thing remains the same throughout time, they are some of the most humble people on earth, and they are beyond amazing in all the things they do ‘in memory of Chester’... keep up the good work!
I've been so lost in my own life and sorrows that I never heard about Chester. I Loved him and I Love you Mike Shinoda. I'm probably one of the only 60+ women who Love Linkin Park❤️🙏🏾. Thanks for this performance Mike Shinoda 😢. Rest in ☮️ Chester❤️
I miss Chester and his voice so much it hurts. He got me through my teenage years which is a hard fucking thing to do. Thank you Chester for making my life liveable. I miss you and your voice more than any words can say. I am now a 35 year old woman. You got me through a very tough time just wish I could have returned the favor. I love you Chester. I miss you. Your voice. Always and forever CHESTER BENNINGTON!!!!! Love always!!!
Yes i'm crying again! The acting of the crowd and Mikes reaction is so beautiful! He know's we still aren't over it and he isn't too! And with those concerts we can help each other!
Wow, Chester sang these songs, with those lyrics, like no other. You really felt it. I still really feel it just hearing the beats. It's been very hard for me to hear them without Chester, but I'm getting there. It's amazingly sad, because we want him back out there but we know it's impossible.. but for me, the best healing has come from following Mike and Talinda and experiencing their journey as they heal and they've genuinely opened my eyes to depression. I've listened to an LP song everyday this past year and it really sank in how meaningful those lyrics are. I'm different now, I'm different ever since last July and I don't know yet how I feel about that but I do know that I appreciate this band and the perseverance of Mike and Talinda wanting to keep reaching out to us fans and keep creating those memories for us. In a world of constant negativity, it's comforting to hear Mike's speech that makes us want to make Chester proud.
❤ I know the feeling... My life completely changed this past year because of this all.. I met my fiancé through #LPFamily on Twitter even ❤❤ and moving overseas to be married in January ❤❤ Chester brought us together under such difficult circumstances ❤❤ it truely feels like he is watching over us and caring for us all still ❤❤ I love this video too.. Amazing speech ❤ being able to follow Mike through his grief and healing has really helped me through a lot of struggles and stress
Chester was a special talent of which can never be replicated.He was world class and unique.RIP and i hope he is looking down and seeing what he meant to his family band members and all his millions of fans.
It is very hard to their songs now. Because like you said its like the lyrics have more meaning now. Like all along Chester was trying to tell us a message through his music
Its strange and somehow perfect how the intro notes to 'In the End' were laced with bitterness and anger when Chester was backing it too but now it has a mournful, bittersweet sound to it. Its fitting that the crowd should sing Chester's parts cause as myself I know there are millions out there for whom growing up was with a strong connection to the angst and power in Chester's voice and his vocal presence throughout Linkin Park's best songs. Thank you Chester, Mike, Rob, Brad, Dave, and Joe. You guys were a pillar.
I've never related more to a UA-cam comment in my life. I'm crying my eyes out watching this but it's beautiful in the pain too, to remember Chester and honour his memory.
I had this on auto play. I was listening to random things and this came on autoplay while I was working. And I was caught up in the work so much it took me a lot of time to realize that what I'm listening to wasn't a song but Mike's voice. All of a sudden it hits me when he paused and said "oh you guys"... I stopped working and looked what is on... And rewatched it. I went home cause I cracked. I'm going through some personal shit too like all of 8s here and everything before in the end hit me so hard I just came home, hugged my fiancee and actually for the first time in a long while felt calm and happy. God I am thankful for listening to them as a kid and now when I'm halfway into adulthood... Thank you Mike. Just fucking thank you. And thank you whoever uploaded this by chance.
I can still hear Chester so loudly like if he's still there between everyone singing it's heart breaking yet magical.. I miss you mr. Bennington , but I'll never forget you.
I wasn't a linking park fan. I have a couple of songs, that I don't mind. But man this got to me. Guy who plays the songs he once played with his friend on his own. It's sad but heart warming to see the fans sing Chester's part. RIP
I’ve been following Mike since Chester’s death and seeing the crowds not realllly interacting that much was hard. The New York show had a great crowd. But seeing those signs appear, then Mike says turn them at themselves really gave a great amount of humanity.. Mad promps to Mike 👍🏼
MN Guy exactly, people,don’t get to be interacting that much but if Chester was alive then yeah it’ll be different but all these tours that mike did are very emotional.
I was there and more than two and a half years later, its still a big emotional trip for me. It was my first time to see Mike live, at this time i was in a really depressive mood. This concert with my musician idol Mike gave me the strength that i needed to get out of this depression phase!
1. In the end 05:25
2. Heavy 07:45
3. Burn it down 08:56
4. Numb 10:02
In my heart forever
These are not necessary, just watch the whole thing, its fucking beautiful
@@askepticalcharmander9815 I agree he is my idol haha I went to the concert in salt lake City Utah on 11/8/18
Every single moments are gold
Thanks but the whole thing is good
Mike Shinoda is the nice guy that everyone wants as a friend
And Chester said that Mike is a good father, and he would like to become his son)))
October. It's still hard as ever. I miss Chester so much
@@vashishlg_lol
And gets shit on. Like all good men.
Also a hip hop god
Its hurts when you sing a song knowing you can't hear him scream again...
Jan's Q & A
Fuck, okay that hit deep. Way deeper than I really expected it to.
Oh. Man you got my point Where it hurts.
That sounds really fucked up out of context...
Yeah it sucks and it hurts. But the point of this concert is what what are we going to as fans and survivors to help others with the pain.
Grrrrrr! *tears up knowing you're so f***ing right*
Rip Chester and Chris and so many others.
I think Mike is the strongest man in this shit world what we livin these days.
Just standing on a stage alone is hard.
Love u Mike.
Hope you are right, I am actually afraid for him..
Bro your comment made me cry
He's not alone. You can't see everyone supporting him with your eyes.
Its his dream and Job dude... Literally everything hes got is there... Whats he gonna do if he leaves?...
@@rosco77365 On stage he said
''From the very beginning we've sung songs about things that were difficult''
Mike Shinoda
Imagine your best friend passing and everyone shouts their name at you. How does he stay so strong.
From not having much other choice. Options are conveniences. There's nothing convenient here.
You can hear how he lost his voice on heavy
Everyone is sharing this moment with him. Doing the performance. Hes just leading them. Going through the motions. You can hear it in his voice. He asked them to put down the cards for now. Later raise them but right now. Just be with him.

Before: We sing With Chester
After: We Sing For Chester
You just broke my fucking heart man
Its ok dude
I wish he just born again and have a better life :)
Agree🤟❤
@@cozysam2779 Goddamm I hope you're right. We'll know soon enough. A soul like that wouldn't be able to stay hidden.
Suicide doesn’t end the pain, it just passes it on to someone else.
Oh man that was so true
That's fucking true ...
Suicide passes the real problems to others, but atleast the person is saved from unreal problems.

It still hurts, like it just happened yesterday anytime it comes to my mind!
Does anyone ever wonder who hurt Chester? It could have been just depression, but sometimes things happen that lead to it!
Music industry desperately needs more artists like Mike.
and chester of course
Yesss

So true
Don't mind,just my dream....someday to perform with Linkin park😁I am a guitarist
And specially a huge fan of Linkin park.... specially with Mike.....cuz he's the only guy left now in Linkin park 😢
Wish
Chester would be now somewhere in better place
That torture....rarely someone understands his pressure
Staying away from family
Kids
Specially parents
Band tensions
And rest other his personal problems
It was all shown in his voice in his last music one more light
And again that day in Mike's voice
In tears.
6 years ago Chester joined the choir of angels.
Chester, you make US proud!!!!

he does the same speech every concert lol

When chester can not sing, we can. 1 voice has turned into millions. Mike will never be singing alone when on stage ❤
Watching a man give his best friend a tribute through the fans every show. This is a man grieving on his own terms.
Aww, when he wiped his tears away... he definitely felt the love.
incentive yes, he felt it.
incentive man
This is the second time today that I've teared up after watching Mike
This show me to say that Rip linkin park we will miss them
What minute
I could hear Mike's voice cracking under emotion.....damn
He's choking the whole time, it's as if he's gonna break down any moment.......
It's sad........ # youmakechesterproud Mike.......
His 1 man shows are just his own grieving process. It's been 4 years and I cant not cry about Chester. I can't imagine Mike. Hearing his fans clap back is probably what he needed more than therapy.
It's June 2020, and I still bawl my eyes out. How has it been this long already. Rest in peace Chester
Currently bawling my eyes out now, you're not alone. Sending love and positivity! 🙏🏾💛
same
You're not alone 💕 we all still hurt from the loss. Sending big hugs. He lives in all of us, his legacy lives on forever!
2021 . Only fills like yesterday when Chester passed away
It's almost 5yrs already and the hurt and void still feels brand new
Sadly we no longer have Chester, but we still have Mike and as along as we still listen to Mike and linkin park then Chester's legacy will live on forever

@ROHIT KOLI same here

If I saw him I would give him a hug he’ll never forget because that’s have much I love him.
😭😭😭
Today it's already 6 years we lost Chester ❤️🔥
And this evening was the first time at a concert when nearly every single one around me was crying - including the people behind the bar! The crowd was so incredible and very emotional. I'm still thankful for the opportunity to have this evening (and in Oberhausen) together with other fans and #mikeshinoda 🫂
Fly high #chesterbennington fly high!
If every person on this planet had 10% of the integrity Shinoda has, the world would be a MUCH better place! R.i.p. Chester
He really makes Chester proud.
We really make Chester proud 🙏
It hurts to see Mike playing and singing alone. They were amazing to see together.
It’s been almost 3 years but here we are crying 🥺 we want you back chester ♥️
When we all shouted 'Chester', you could really feel that he was with us all ❤
Miri F. gave me chills :((
I like how people pay to go to his shows so that they can sing most of the songs. That's original. I've never seen artists do that to this extent before. I guess it makes people feel as though they're part of something though and that's cool.
It's really special. Although he usually does about 8 or 9 of his new solo album or fort minor songs. Then he does about 4-5 linkin park songs which the crowd helps with.
Mike Faller well this show wasn’t about the band. It was about paying the respect to Chester and to Mike. It was a way for all these people that are feeling the same emotion, the same hurt, to come together and let it all loose. It wasn’t about the songs, it was about the feeling. Mike knew that and that’s why he did the show that way.
It's different. Like 30 Seconds to Mars, when Jared has the crowd sing parts, it feels like he is showing his control or glory (which is fine, that's his thing, which I enjoy at times). Shinoda does it to share something with the audience, to bond with them and kinda share that emotion and memory that Linkin Park and Chester evoked. Also, I think it's an artistic statement because I remember after the Tribute show he said in an interview that having people sub in for Chester just didn't feel quite right, so this is his compromise (although he does have a wonderful guitarist/vocalist who joined him in these shows to do some of Chester's parts).
This is to keep the memories
These guys are my childhood. For all my life, they stuck with me. They helped me during the bad and the ugly. And I well I love them and miss Chester severely even though it's been two years. Everything feels so off now, I keep thinking this is all a dream and one day I'll wake up and find Chester singing on that stage...
It's really hard to hear this song without Chester's voice.. :'(
RIP Chester.
Mike has a powerful voice and we absolutely not disagree if he decides to sing some Linkin Park songs being lead vocals.
Yes
Any member from LP would do justice for me. Them & only them are allowed.
He's done that often enough already.
Heck, Brad has a great voice; you can hear it on "UNTIL IT BREAKS" on LIVING THINGS. Boy, I wish he did more singing.
Mike did "No Roads Left" so well too. I would absolutely love it if he made more songs like that.
These speeches make me smile, whilst at the same time feeling like I've been kicked in the stomach. Its a weird combination of proudness and grief. Anybody else feel the same?
🙋
It hurts because he's right. It hurts because he knows how every person feels. We feel his pain and grief too.
@@merceraeolymus Agreed. Seeing him live last month was so cathartic. It's helped me no end.
Exactly man. My emotions are really confused lmao
YES.
Imagine how happy Chester would be to see this. RIP Chester thank you for all the amazing music and emotions you shared with us.
Here in 2020 laying in bed with my wife, turned over so she cant hear or see me nearly bawling.
Jeremiah Capen- I feel it
I feel you my friend
We're human, everyone cries. It would be unhealthy if you didn't allow yourself to express your emotions.
I pretty much do this to myself every few nights. I feel you, my friend.
Me too
Mike is such a loyal friend, he does these stuff so that chester will be remembered. He doesn't care if he does it alone, he just want to do this for chester. R.I.P Chester. God bless you both💗 #makechesterproud
Mike is a angel.
Reminds me of times when my high school friends and me used to sing In the End on the walk home from school.
I was there... this part was so... awesome. The whole concert was awesome but this part... so emotional.
#MakeChesterProud
Anne B. Bin so neidisch:(
Anne B. you are lucky
Man you’re so lucky!!!
Mike, your statement at 4:40 is hitting me hard in the heart right now. That is exactly how I feel.
Chester, Kurt...
Thanks for posting this, Raissa. ❤
and Chris, too! :(
Chester Chester Chester Chester Chester Chester Chester
Mike is such an honest and genuine person. He is amazing.
I usually hate it when people are recording during a concert (well...who doesn't?) and it actually annoyed the heck out of me with this show, because you could barely see anything with all those phones up...
Buuut you were front row and not only did you have the opportunity to film the most amazing concert's most amazing moment up close, but you actually shared it with the rest of the world...what I'm trying to say here is: thank you so so much!!
Ahh this is so cute, thank you!
As a person who haven't had the opportunity to go these concerts when they are nearby, I love it. No it's not that I'm cheap, but the production recorded shows aren't the "same" kinda. Thanks from me too ☺️
One Step Closer95 love your channel name!!
Get taller lol
@@raissawalberg ThANk You Raissa!! ♡
German fans You are totally crazy and made me cry, that was so great what You guys did!
Mmm Bbb thank you
Thanks ❤️❤️
Filmed by a Dutch fan though ;-) We were there with quit a crowd! Unfortunately Mike didn't come to Holland on this tour so we went to Germany!
What i think would be epic is if Mike recorded a Linkin Park anthology album with all of Chester's parts sung by a properly coordinated and mic'd stadium chrous. He could partner with a group like the Rockin 1000 since they have the experience recording large groups like that. I would be an obscene amount of money for an album like that, especially if the money could in part go towards Chester's family and mental health charities
Great idea. If Mike's on twitter you should tweet him.
And to mike. Because he had to bear the pain of it all for so long
I didn’t realize how heartbreaking it would be to hear these songs without Chester’s voice
He deserves equal love!! We've lost one legend may be we didn't show him much love but let's show our love for this guy.. Cus he is alive... We shall make him feel special everyday.
mjacksparrow
Fans need to think of beyond Mike.
What about the rest of Linkin Park ? Have Rob Bourdon, Joe Hahn, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell, Brad Delson had their say? Seems Mike is the only one lost a friend and band mate but he wasn’t. Would love to have the rest of the band just for the LP songs and receive the support Mike does on his tour .. They are LP too it wasn’t just Chester & Mike.
@@SINASTERWAYS this is what has amazed me all this time. Where are other guys and not talking about it? But anyway that doesn't make me feel less for Mike.
"what you're doing with this show is making grief fun."
"what can I do in my life to make somebody else - who is feeling like they are worthless, like they don't have anything to look forward to, or that they don't mean anything to other people - what can I do to make them feel worthwhile or important or loved?"
5:27 - In The End
7:44 - Heavy
8:57 - Burn It Down
10:02 - Numb
I don’t understand why people feel the need to distract from the rest of the video
Mike Shinoda is very very strong we unable to bear Chester's death and he's still standing trying to keep Linkin Park Alive.
Its July 3rd, 2019...tears still fall for you Chester.❤
Tears don't fall - they crash around me
Tears don't fall - they crash around me
@@mathiskoperek8215 honestly same..
It's 1st August 2021 Now
Mike shinoda you are one of life's gentlemen x
Mike is really keeping the LP spirit alive and making Chester proud ❤️
Only all of us united have the strength that chester had in his voice.
September 2019, doesn’t get any easier💔
So true. It just hits harder as time passes
I know my man, I know. Even just thinking about it now makes me cry .
Pussy
It never will I'm still crying
@@michaelhowell2809 yes it does
His best show so far, he's such a beautiful soul and our fanbase is awesome ♥ thank you for uploading this
The fanbase is actually a bit of a hive mind, I like LP but if you don't like a song or an album you will always be heavily down voted by the hardcore Linkin Park "street soldiers", they are only enjoyable to associate with if you are a hardcore "love 100% of everything LP ever released" type of fan.
@@JMc-ki7kq I agree, sometimes they are overprotective. I think everybody should feel free to share an opinion (not being offensive, of course). It's just music.
In my comment I was referring to how supportive they are in moments like this. Since Chester passed we helped each other a lot. Of course we are not a perfect community, there's a lot of drama sometimes and I don't like it at all.
I'm a hardcore love 100% everything of LP ever released type of fan since I have a very broad taste of music. Totally understand what you are saying though. Just know that there is at least one person in the community (and I know many more) that will totally fine with it if you don't like everything that LP has ever made
Yes, very supportive indeed! And as long as people share their opinion without being offensive it's totally ok! I also don't like all the drama that comes along with it so many times.... We're here to support each other right? If you don't like some songs or things it's fine. Just as long as we are all being nice to each other in the end and respect each other
Hrey bb
Linkin Park’s style is ever changing, one thing remains the same throughout time, they are some of the most humble people on earth, and they are beyond amazing in all the things they do ‘in memory of Chester’... keep up the good work!
I've been so lost in my own life and sorrows that I never heard about Chester. I Loved him and I Love you Mike Shinoda. I'm probably one of the only 60+ women who Love Linkin Park❤️🙏🏾. Thanks for this performance Mike Shinoda 😢. Rest in ☮️ Chester❤️
I miss Chester and his voice so much it hurts. He got me through my teenage years which is a hard fucking thing to do. Thank you Chester for making my life liveable. I miss you and your voice more than any words can say. I am now a 35 year old woman. You got me through a very tough time just wish I could have returned the favor. I love you Chester. I miss you. Your voice. Always and forever CHESTER BENNINGTON!!!!! Love always!!!
I LOVE YOU CHESTER AND I MISS YOUR VOICE!!!!
Yes i'm crying again! The acting of the crowd and Mikes reaction is so beautiful! He know's we still aren't over it and he isn't too! And with those concerts we can help each other!
I think we all will never be...
Wow, Chester sang these songs, with those lyrics, like no other. You really felt it. I still really feel it just hearing the beats. It's been very hard for me to hear them without Chester, but I'm getting there. It's amazingly sad, because we want him back out there but we know it's impossible.. but for me, the best healing has come from following Mike and Talinda and experiencing their journey as they heal and they've genuinely opened my eyes to depression. I've listened to an LP song everyday this past year and it really sank in how meaningful those lyrics are. I'm different now, I'm different ever since last July and I don't know yet how I feel about that but I do know that I appreciate this band and the perseverance of Mike and Talinda wanting to keep reaching out to us fans and keep creating those memories for us. In a world of constant negativity, it's comforting to hear Mike's speech that makes us want to make Chester proud.
❤
I know the feeling... My life completely changed this past year because of this all.. I met my fiancé through #LPFamily on Twitter even ❤❤ and moving overseas to be married in January ❤❤ Chester brought us together under such difficult circumstances ❤❤ it truely feels like he is watching over us and caring for us all still ❤❤
I love this video too.. Amazing speech ❤ being able to follow Mike through his grief and healing has really helped me through a lot of struggles and stress
Chester was a special talent of which can never be replicated.He was world class and unique.RIP and i hope he is looking down and seeing what he meant to his family band members and all his millions of fans.
J G hold your horses bro
He's voice is not like Chesters.But his big heart.❤🔥💔
It is very hard to their songs now. Because like you said its like the lyrics have more meaning now. Like all along Chester was trying to tell us a message through his music
So many dislikes, you heartless individuals. This is beautiful. We miss him dearly. #makeChesterProud
Simon Howroyd they probably disliked it because it made them cry, not because they hated the video
Grief is a process... Everyone deals with it differently but grieving together is powerful
Its strange and somehow perfect how the intro notes to 'In the End' were laced with bitterness and anger when Chester was backing it too but now it has a mournful, bittersweet sound to it. Its fitting that the crowd should sing Chester's parts cause as myself I know there are millions out there for whom growing up was with a strong connection to the angst and power in Chester's voice and his vocal presence throughout Linkin Park's best songs. Thank you Chester, Mike, Rob, Brad, Dave, and Joe. You guys were a pillar.
I've never related more to a UA-cam comment in my life. I'm crying my eyes out watching this but it's beautiful in the pain too, to remember Chester and honour his memory.
I somehow feel that Mike is my long time good friend. A friend that will always be.
That had to be so hard for him to not see his best friend be there singing with him:(
Watching this on 1st july 2019.......tears still flowing.
RIP Chester.
Right here with you, 2 days later.
im here too, mike saying, you make chester proud too, had me crying a river
@@solidoustopher and here with you with 5 days later
Same here.
2 weeks later. still cry :(
Mike is such a beautiful soul and really does make Chester and everyone else proud.
Linkin Park in my heart forever
In my too
I had this on auto play.
I was listening to random things and this came on autoplay while I was working. And I was caught up in the work so much it took me a lot of time to realize that what I'm listening to wasn't a song but Mike's voice. All of a sudden it hits me when he paused and said "oh you guys"... I stopped working and looked what is on... And rewatched it. I went home cause I cracked. I'm going through some personal shit too like all of 8s here and everything before in the end hit me so hard I just came home, hugged my fiancee and actually for the first time in a long while felt calm and happy.
God I am thankful for listening to them as a kid and now when I'm halfway into adulthood...
Thank you Mike. Just fucking thank you.
And thank you whoever uploaded this by chance.
I will never forget this concert.... "hey, you guys, come on..."
Cologne was unforgetable❣
I can still hear Chester so loudly like if he's still there between everyone singing it's heart breaking yet magical.. I miss you mr. Bennington , but I'll never forget you.
December 2019 is just around the corner and I still haven’t forgot about you Chester
I’ll be crying listening to ‘My December’ my time of the year. 😢
He lives on in our voices and heart ♥
Absolutely beautiful, RIP you fucking legend. Touched my life more than you’ll ever know.
It feels like Chester IS the people singing together. It's very heartbreaking and at the same time heart warming.
The fact that Mike tries to make every show special and it ends up feeling that way, and it all becomes an outpouring of love makes me so emotional.
Mike you the best. Hit the 👍🏻 if you agree.
I wasn't a linking park fan. I have a couple of songs, that I don't mind. But man this got to me. Guy who plays the songs he once played with his friend on his own. It's sad but heart warming to see the fans sing Chester's part. RIP
I’ve been following Mike since Chester’s death and seeing the crowds not realllly interacting that much was hard. The New York show had a great crowd. But seeing those signs appear, then Mike says turn them at themselves really gave a great amount of humanity.. Mad promps to Mike 👍🏼
MN Guy exactly, people,don’t get to be interacting that much but if Chester was alive then yeah it’ll be different but all these tours that mike did are very emotional.
It's still extremely sad seeing him up on the stage all alone, everytime I watch these videos I have to try really hard not to cry.
You’re not alone bud. I’m fighting with my tears and started crying while watching.
Hats off to the crowd🙌🙌🙌I got choked the entire video...love u Mike...rip Chester😢
Can’t believe it’s been almost 3 years, he was always that role model in my life as a kid.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
@Jeff Z ok tough man...
We're all crying, man
Youre damn right I’m crying.
skadoodle :
@@razorraptor2247 yeah im crying
I wanted to be in his show for once before I die.... ... And sing these song with crowd....
Such a nice gentleman... Artist ... Human being😊
I'm getting emotional again. 😢 I really like the way Mike deliver his hearwarming speech. Damn! I miss Chester😢😢
Wow Mike Shinoda does this so beautifully, the fans are the voice of Chester. Chester never die.
Thank you so much for sharing this
His speech at the beginning made me cry
The Saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the most memories becomes a memory RIP😐
I was there and more than two and a half years later, its still a big emotional trip for me. It was my first time to see Mike live, at this time i was in a really depressive mood. This concert with my musician idol Mike gave me the strength that i needed to get out of this depression phase!
