Live Concert Review
Limp Bizkit tends to be one of the greatest American rock/rap bands of all times. What “Greatness” can be found in modern music? Can 40 million sold records be considered “Greatness”? If so, then Limp Bizkit has earned this societal label. This band found a new generation of alternative music back in the late 90s – beginning of 2000s, and a lot of people grew up listening to this music. Therefore as a big fan, I was privileged to attend one of Limp Bizkit's concerts in New York City.
The show took place at Best Buy Theater on October 8th, 2014. People from various backgrounds came to see the show. Moreover, even true old school fans, who were 12-15 years old in 90s-2000s when they started listening Limp Bizkit visited the concert. However, fans who would be considered Newbies (just recently started listening Limp Bizkit) seemed to have a blast at the event. Everyone was ready to make the memories of a lifetime.
When the curtain fell down the crowd went crazy. Forever young front man Fred Durst with his famous cap, guitarist Wes Borland with the whole body painted in black, drummer John Otto, and bassist Sam Rivers stepped on the stage. The show began. Hundreds of voices sang familiar lyrics, hundreds of feet simultaneously began to stomp, and hundreds of hands were raised up in the sky to the rhythm of Limp Bizkit's jam! Limp Bizkit played their best hits as well as the songs from the early career. Rap-metal charge of Limp Bizkit reacted with the energy of the crowd, and detonated with the two-hour blast.
The sound of band’s live performance was worth of praise. It was as close as possible to the studio recordings. The volume was arranged perfectly, therefore, it was easy to hear every beat from any corner of the auditorium. There was no headache and temporary deafness as sometimes happens after the performance of rock bands. Each member of the band was worth of compliments
