Linkin Park - Given Up Live Performance at Darien Lake Concert

Venue: Darien Lake Performing Arts Center Location: Darien Center, New York, United States Date: August 21, 2014

In the summer of 2014, Linkin Park was riding high after the release of their sixth studio album, 'The Hunting Party,' which had hit the shelves just a few months earlier in June. This album marked a significant return to their heavier roots, showcasing a raw intensity that fans of the band had craved. The live recording on August 21, 2014, at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center showcases the band's electrifying energy during the Carnivores Tour, which also featured heavyweights like Thirty Seconds to Mars and AFI. It’s fascinating to note the nimble shift in their sound during this period, as they balanced their evolution with a nostalgic flair for their earlier work. Chester Bennington's powerful performance of 'Given Up' is a memorable highlight, encapsulating the band's dynamic spirit as they continued to connect deeply with their audience, even after years in the spotlight.
