Getting to finally see a legend of rock... or "Owwwwww! My freakin ears!"

I finally was able to see one of the definative "rock gods" of my generation last night. This was Chris Cornell. The abilities, by means of voice alone, are amazing. As i live in Raleigh, I have never had the oportunity to see this founder of modern "alternative" rock. Temple of the Dog was too underground to showup here, Soundgarden was broken up before they could come, and Audioslave never came anywhere near here (mainly because the Rage members hate this area... don't ask why). Still, I have seen Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, U2, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, and Candle Box. None of them have been able to keep their sound the way Chris has. He's 10 years older than me and can hit all the right tones for a concert. I hope he shows up a million times more to Raleigh.
The other band appearing was Linkin Park. All I can say is "Dear Lord!" They put on the best most spectacular show I have ever seen. They were definitely upstaged by they near perfectness of Cornell, but their show was just a spectacle. The concert could be best described as a UFO landing in the middle of the stage and a band performing along with the light show. It has to be experienced. There were few, if any, areas of the stage that were not utilized.
Overall, the part of Projekt Revolution I was present for was as close to a perfect show as I'll probably get. I am not one who goes to a lot of shows. I like the up close shows of the Avett Brothers and such. However, I absolutely love a concert that is just a hard rocking spectacle. That is what I received at this concert. The only thing I could have wanted more is to have pit and back stage passes. I love rock and the excentric stuff it includes. What else needs to be said?
