Fan Review LPU Roadie for the Day Special: Rock in Rio Lisbon/Portugal (26.05.12) by Cátia Marques

There were still 3 hours to go till the doors would open, so we just sit there and some of us started to play Linkin Park songs on our phones. It was really sunny and hot and there were times when I started to feel a bit dizzy (back pain wasn’t helping at all), so I was really happy when the doors finally opened and we got in.

I had planned to meet Adam at 4 pm, near a huge pink tower (the same place where we would meet up for the M + G, later that night). Once I got there, I immediately saw him taking pics of the main stage and the crowd. We talked for a couple of minutes, before we headed to the merch booth. Once we got there, we saw some really cool Linkin Park shirts and I thought about getting one, with Adam quickly approving it. I decided to get a LIVING THINGS shirt with all the tour dates, I thought that one was pretty nice.

Maybe it just wasn't transported well in the video, but when you compare it to the 83,000 people who attended Linkin Park's performance at Rock in Rio, this looks really lame. Watch Evanescence's full show after the jump! ...
