September 11, 2012 11:40 AM ET| Peter Holslin
Minutes into Linkin Park's performance at Chula Vista's Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre on Monday night, singer Chester Bennington was slathered in sweat. As he let out his famous bloodcurdling screams, his face contorted into a raging grimace. But Bennington wasn't afraid to show his soft side – even in front of a packed crowd at the nearly 20,000-capacity outdoor venue. The show was the last stop on the Honda Civic Tour, and at one point during the rap-rock band's b... | More »

Lindsey Buckingham Brings 'Small Machine' to Austin
August 23, 2012 12:15 PM ET| Chad Swiatecki
Roughly 40 minutes into a revealing, intimate show at Austin blues club Antone's on Wednesday, Lindsey Buckingham essentially dared his audience not to sing with him. Teasing the opening of the undeniable Fleetwood Mac hit "Never Going Back Again" on his eighth different guitar of the night, Buckingham sang the song's opening line in a voice so faint atop finger picking so precise that any crowd accompaniment would've crushed the moment. The fans recognized this, and they stay... | More »
