"L.A. is the city that we love, and it's got rebellion in its blood!" declared Rage Against the Machine's Zack de la Rocha to the roaring, swirling masses gathered for the band's L.A. Rising festival at the city's Coliseum on Saturday, sounding off a new phase in the band's Battle of Los Angeles.
Rage Against the Machine created the nine-hour L.A. Rising festival as a hometown show of force and a renewed statement of purpose. Joining them on the site of the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics were Muse, Rise Against, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Immortal Technique and El Gran Silencio -- and a "Re-Education Camp" with 42 activist groups on war, poverty, labor and immigration. L.A. Rising was Rage's first major concert in Los Angeles in a decade (aside from an immigration rights benefit last year at the much smaller Hollywood Palladium), and is the band's only scheduled live performance for 2011.
The words came during an extended jam in the middle of "Wake Up," as the singer-rapper railed against "illegal wars," homelessness and "foreclosure signs that stretch to the horizon." He urged fans back into the streets just as the band erupted again with a blast of thundering funk and hard-rock, and the crowd joined De la Rocha as he snarled the enraged closing lyric: "What you reap is what you sow!"

I was there! Watching and remembering.
Tears roll down my face
Most powerful moment of the entire show for me began @ 4:30.
I was in the very front!!! You can see my poster waving at Center Stage!! RATM FOR LIFE!!!
That man could lead a revolution. Kickin' ass with his speeches.
There is a tension growing in this City once again!
I was at this concert! Muse played before them right?
i was right next to the pit, it was epic!!!!!!!!!! I hope people really get the message they're trying to put out there... it isn't just hype.
@vladimiriosifovich it kinda was a 10 hour concert. by that time every one in green zone had endured 5 bands!
It is true that Rage against the machine is the Led Zeppelin of this time
looks like a pretty apathetic crowd for a rage gig
