Linkin Park featuring Chris Cornell - Live Performance of 'Crawling'

Venue: Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, United States Date: July 30, 2008

In 2008, Linkin Park was in the midst of their "Minutes to Midnight" era, having released the album in May of that year. This was a significant period for the band, marking a shift in their musical style with deeper lyrical themes and a departure from the nu-metal sound that defined their earlier work. The live recording from July 30, 2008, captures Linkin Park performing "Crawling" with rock legend Chris Cornell at the Projekt Revolution festival. This collaboration is particularly notable as it highlights the band’s connections with influential artists and showcases their willingness to blend various musical elements. Additionally, the performance underlines the band's dynamic stage presence during this tour, with Mike Shinoda incorporating elements from "Hands Held High," weaving together different songs and styles. This concert also reflects their ongoing evolution as a band, maintaining relevance in a rapidly changing music landscape.
