Breaking Benjamin Unplugged 2/4/16

Man this was a tour come true. Now that Breaking Benjamin and Starset have been touring together for a while now, they finally have gone the unplugged route with an unbelievable result on the New York City date at Irving Plaza. With a sold out show, 1,200 strong rolled in to sing their butts off to both acts, I for one was one of those people who left the building hoarse and tired from letting my shower singing abilities get the best of me during the show. Breaking Benjamin even brought out David Draiman of Disturbed to pay tribute to the late David Bowie. Both singers got together to sing “Under Pressure”, which brought the house down. I have waited 14 years to see this band live. Not only that, I got to photograph them for the lovely people at LiveNation (with some promotion over at Revolver too). Check out the photos and the set-list’s below. Now that this tour stop is over, I can await Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin to tour this Summer!
