They came, nearly 40,000 people saw them, and they rocked.
Fans of Linkin Park began lining up early Friday morning for the best spots on the field and in the stands at Zhongshan Football Stadium (中山足球場), for what organizers touted as Taiwan's highest-selling foreign concert since Michael Jackson.
Despite light drizzle and a start that was delayed by 40 minutes, people arrived chanting "Linkin Park, Linkin Park," and when the California nu-metal band finally took to the stage, the 38,000 mostly young fans in attendance broke into a frenzy of cheers and shouts.
The chanting continued throughout the concert, with rhythm guitarist Mike Shinoda - who was clearly the crowd favorite - in the front, and singer Chester Bennington bouncing around the stage shouting vocals in a heavy-metal rasp. Linkin Park played electronica, rapcore and heavy metal numbers during their 100-minute show and had fans begging for more. Their stellar performance, combined with the fact that tickets sold out, will hopefully make Taipei a more enticing destination for other international acts.
The Weekender watched a performance in the first week that, though the singing was top notch and the acting quite good, suffered from many technical problems (the crew could be seen for much of the performance) that served to distract the audience. But these glitches were ironed out by the second week when technical staff were hidden, as they should be, and the actors were feeling more comfortable with their roles. Of particular note was the hip and live musical score. Tickets for the remaining performances are NT$750 and NT$1,500 and are available through NTCH ticketing or online at www.artsticket.com.tw.
