Not only did you see and hear the pure emotion in Jake's voice during the slow bit of Beauty in Tragedy, but if you watch, every single mosher was standing still either hands in the air or standing still in awe of such a beautiful bit. Granted, it's not exactly the most mosh-conducive area of the song, but still. I know Wacken isn't exactly filled with Christians (not being judgemental, I just couldn't think of a way to word that) but it's awesome that regardless of faith, they can hear and relate with these guys' music. I think that's the advantage to ABR's ministry: they're not preachy thus both believers and non-believers can relate. On a side note, I noticed that Jake seems to do unbelievably better with his lows than highs live, which is odd considering he uses highs more nowadays on the albums. On another side note, it's good to hear not every American/Brit who performs at Wacken pronounces it as it's spelled instead of the way it's meant to be pronounced. :P EDIT: Also, I have to add that it's just epic how he flips the mic during Spirit Breaker those couple times, it adds a lot of power and sheer awesomeness to the performance.
Yall realize hes holding back on his vocals right? This is an outdoor hour long set while they are touring. Completely raw vocals. Its okay to not like his screams on recording but this vocal performance iis honesty great.
Great video! Although, I was really disappointed the video only showed the last couple seconds of JB's solo in Empire. That solo is iconic in their discography
The sound at the festival itself is probably alright, it's the video audio mix engineer in a van backstage somewhere doing a terrible job. Hence why dustin seems happy the first time you can't hear him in his microphone. The fault isn't with the FOH engineer, it's with the tv mixdown engineer.
This was my first time seeing ABR live and i had been a huge fan for years. I was so bleeding excited! But again, the sound at wacken is absolutely atrocious. A complete and utter shambles. I cannot fathom why after 30 years, wacken can not get their shit together. But i guess they couldnt care less. Their pockets are filled every year and they are happy campers. Well, im not giving them another penny. If there was any justice in this world, nobody else would either.
thanks for the upload. .saw these guys few weeks ago and they killed it. .just like they did here..JB's guitar sounds slightly weak during the solos..the rest sounds awesome. .♡ ABR!
Alter es war einfach so krank heiß im Jahr und weil eure wasserspender das nicht gepackt haben ist man total dehydriert und konnte dabei leider nicht mehr richtig abgehen ^^ Aber mit Wassermangel gabs dieses Jahr ja kein Problem mehr !:Dd
I wish they would get a second backup vocalist just to help or the bass guy should step in more so it doesnt sound so rushed I love his vocals but nothign when hes out of breath lol
I wonder why the battery is far from the front of the stage for this great distance .. out of the ordinary! and I think the guys that was not a good day .. or they were facing problem with the return of audio
The Sound at the Wacken videos are always very bad!!! Why is that? I mean wtf its one of the best festivals and they cant manage to record concerts well. Whats going on there?
