Breaking Benjamin - 2007-10-02 - Bloomington IL
This is just a solid Breaking Benjamin show I traded out this week, so I decided to do a review. I actually recorded them with Seether and Three Days Grace in March of 2008 (I'm planning a remaster/re-release of that one soon) and back then they did not disappoint. Very heavy and very engaged with the crowd and it shows on this recording. The taper clearly knew what he was doing and positioned himself with an unobstructed line to the speakers, as there is very little talking or crowd noise close by, but still manages to capture the energy in just the way I like it. The sound is a tad bit on the heavy end but its still clear and not distorted. A very solid effort.
Shaun Morgan from Seether joins in the Deftones cover, very well done. I'm sure they did a lot of that throughout the tour, and probably mixed it up with several different covers as well. One of my favorite things about Breaking Benjamin, they use covers to get the crowd into
I couldn't find any pictures from the date, but I made some artwork.
