On November 7, 2010, Linkin Park took the MTV World Stage at the Europe Music Awards with Madrid’s historic Puerta de Alcalá as their backdrop, delivering a set that moved from the atmospheric complexity of ‘A Thousand Suns’ cuts like “The Catalyst” and “Waiting For The End” into the full-crowd eruption of “Numb,” “In The End,” and “What I’ve Done,” with Chester Bennington’s soaring vocals and Mike Shinoda’s sharp delivery cutting through the Madrid night in front of thousands of fans who made one of Europe’s most iconic landmarks feel like the only right stage for a band operating at exactly this scale.
