Linkin Park Live in Madrid performing Numb and Breaking the Habit
In 2009, Linkin Park was riding high on the success of their album "Minutes to Midnight," which had been released just a year earlier. This album showcased a shift towards a more mature sound, moving away from the heavy nu-metal roots that defined their early work. When they performed "Numb" and "Breaking the Habit" in Madrid on November 30, 2009, fans were treated to a powerful blend of passion and vulnerability, characteristic of the band. Notably, this concert was a part of their 'Pandora's Box' tour, which explored their evolving musical landscape. The energy of the crowd, combined with Chester Bennington's emotive vocals, made it a memorable performance that many deemed one of the best of the year. It was a defining moment for Linkin Park, as they continued to solidify their presence in the rock scene while transitioning into new sonic territories.
