I went to see Projekt Revolution on Wed. July 23rd and was not disappointed. The doors opened at 1:00 and bands started at 2:00. Due to the hint of a rainstorm, we didn't arrive at the venue till 5:00, so we missed on the Revolution Stage: Armor For Sleep, Hawthorne Heights, 10 Years and Atreyu. The Main Stage was where we wanted to be and we got there just in time for: Street Drum Corps, Ashes Divide, The Bravery, Chris Cornell and the main act Linkin Park. I was totally impressed by all the bands, but blown away by Linkin Park. Not only were they loud, but they had great stage presence and really connected with the audience. Busta Rhymes came out during the encore and sang one song, which slightly made up for his missed performance on the bill. He was suppose to come on before The Bravery, but never made it to the stage, with zero explanation. Maybe he got stuck in Parkway traffic, who knows? Chris Cornell and Linkin Park also sang a few songs together, which was an added surprise. There was a lot of heat and rain that day, but not enough to stop the fans. The place was packed and everyone knew every word to every Linkin Park song. It was amazing! It poured halfway through Linkin Park's set and by the end of the show the rain miraculously stopped. Overall, this was worth the price in admission and if the weather wasn't so bad, I would have made it for all the openers.
