Their rendition of \u201cThe Messenger\u201d to open the show brought the crowd to its feet and ready to embrace the night as Mike sang Chester\u2019s vocal parts. As clips of Chester\u2019s fun times with the band played in between songs, the crowd laughed and cried while songs like \u201cNumb\u201d had the crowd taking on Chester\u2019s parts accompanied by a spotlight on an empty mic stand. The band\u2019s performance of \u201cOne More Light\u201d was also heartbreakingly beautiful as the outside venue was filled with glowing lights from the crowd in memory of the loved honoree. Chester\u2019s wife, Talinda Bennington, said some remarks about Chester and helping others fight depression in the later part of the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Mike even performed a somber new ballad called \u201cLooking for an Answer,\u201d causing the entire audience to get emotional as he sang the heartbreaking lyrics. He used every bit of strength to continue performing while playing the piano.
