July 20, 2008 New England Dodge Center Hartford, CT

The day started with ARMOUR FOR SLEEP and ended with LINKIN PARK.  CHESTER and crew were fantastic as always and they featured the STREET DRUM CORPS in the beginning of their act.  STREET DRUM CORPS are just so compelling to watch and they always add that extra special icing to any project.  I found out CHRIS CORNELL and I have something in common and he did a great job especially when CHESTER joined him on stage.  ASHES DIVIDE sounded exactly like their cd live so that is always a plus.  They had the best lights of the night.  THE BRAVERY are never a let down.  I was excited to see BUSTA RHYMES and figured that he would perform like a crazed man but that didn’t happen.  His stage persona was nothing like his videos.  He was pretty calm.  I’ve seen ATREYU several times and they always bring so much energy to the stage.  10 YEARS did a great job getting the audience excited and it was the best performance I have seen from them.  HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS helped set the pace for the day.  If I had to pick a favorite act of the day it would be STREET DRUM CORPS they are just so primal and are like a car crash in the sense that you just can’t look away.  In the end all of the bands did a great job making PROJEKT REVOLUTION 2008 unforgettable.
