Breaking Benjamin Burnley DIARY OF JANE House of Blues, Atlantic City, NJ 7/10/10

Ben Burnley of Breaking Benjamin performed a solo acoustic show at The House of Blues in Atlantic City, NJ on July 10th. Joining him onstage playing guitar and providing backup vocals was Aaron Bruch of Ourafter. This was announced as the last song, but Ben stayed for an encore and played "Who Wants To Live Forever" (Queen cover) and "Rain", but my memory card was full!! CRAP!!!!

[@RunaroundStar]

His scream "Nooo" at 1:02 is the coolest thing I have ever heard.

[@yeisonvorjis1752]

Tacos de duende

[@ang_sun]

The guitar throughout the entire song is absolutely gorgeous. Along with ben's voice

[@sweetied221]

I was there. It was awesome. I cannot believe it will be 5 years this summer since this show. But Ben is back and I saw a recent show. He still rocks on!

[@REVERSEFLASH19901]

I wanna say it's been 7 years now lol since u seen this show ?

[@SimplyEnrico]

Sounding amazing on studio recordings is easy .. sounding amazing on regular live shows is hard .. BUT sounding absolutely amazing on acoustic performances shows a great singer!

[@blackmaba2321]

When this song starts goosebumps everytime

[@AFwife427]

There are just no words to describe his voice. I could listen to him sing all day.

[@bribriw4396]

I love Aaron's backup vocals in this :D their voices go together so well

[@BreakinBenjamin4ever]

i love it when he does the 'woo!' at the end...so coooool...i love this guy!

[@s4perl]

You really have to admire the artists that can sound amazing both with studio recording AND live. You just dont always see that.

[@elobiretv]

The best thing is that you had such a clear recording of this show

[@RumRum95]

This totally took my breath away !!! AMAAAZIIING!!

[@indy8295]

This is what you call a natural voice! nothing but a guitar and a mike recorded by a phone an sounds so great!!! Would love to see some of your auto tune fake stars try this shit!!!

[@ashfoxz6756]

EVEN THOUGH YOUR COMMENT IS OLD..... AMEN SIR

[@SirBennington11]

He's got a strong, good and unique voice. What else could you ask for from a singer? And his songwriting skills, while I admit not the best, are very good. Great performer and musician.

[@xanthium1065]

Can't really say anyone's songwriting is the best since it's all based on mental and emotional preference from the songwriter

[@RunaroundStar]

1:01

[@creepypastaacademy4266]

Best diary of jane performance

[@MRSJGIRL1]

There is A better one in my opinion.You should check it out its the Riverstreet Cafe acoustic 2009.Really great...

[@IcecoolGeehihihi]

Can someone please make a 10 hour version of that "No" at 1:02

[@DakotaTruesdail]

I can

[@JordanWallac3]

He broke one doing a cover of Nirvana (don't know which song). He knocked it over like Kurt Cobain, cracking the microphone. The owner of the microphone then said "I'd like to thank Benjamin for breaking my fucking microphone." And that's how Breaking Benjamin got it's name.

[@NameLikeNobodyElse]

Love the way he tucks his gum away while he sings, then pops it right back out to chomp on when he's done.

[@izryn]

I lived 10 mins away from AC and I remember i went to that concert almost 3 years ago its on of my favorite memories.

[@JamesNeil24]

@BreakMyFall2008 argh, I bet Rain was just amazing live and acoustic! lucky you! and thank you for the uploads! at least you give us the chance to take part at this gig!

[@MrKyel17]

This particular song is in Drop Bb/Drop A#. Some songs are in different tunings. For instance, So Cold is in Drop C.

[@sylar1989]

@BreakMyFall2008 ah dam rain is 1 of my favs, would of been awsome lol, o well at least i can still listen to the rest of his awsome songs.

[@lovermens3602]

Estoy enamorado de su voz

[@Samantha_Jensen]

Ben please come to my dream

[@eeyore9598]

@starsmily7 i have found a couple videos of who wants to live forever. its one of my favorite covers of theirs. yeah i wish he wouldve got one too cause youre quality is so much better than all the others ive seen. i would love a copy of this. wouldve loved it more if i didnt live 13 hrs away from either of these shows and couldve been there.

[@lankydude1000]

@10vs10000 thats gr8 cz its a gr8 song

[@erykswifey2012]

he so fucking beast live saw em in 2010 at the chevy center in youngstown ohio

[@LeakyDutchoven]

Nope he was over it, can't believe how much better he sounds here.

[@1603Chaz]

[@ScrmR]

for me he's the best :3

[@BreakB97598]

damn, I just wished they had done the original acoustic diary of jane I just love the false setto part on that track... this is still great though

[@jennifertimilyn]

Yeah that person is an idiot. Ben rocks. Thanks for these videos :) They keep me company at work!! :)

[@NightAngelV]

Oh Ben..I don't like that, I fucking love it!

[@lucasohira]

I wanted to be there =/

[@GovnaBuckingham]

i would sell my sole to see him live

[@jimmyvideo3617]

Lol it's "soul" and don't ya know it's less than $100 to see him? Just google if they are touring and follow their FB and other social media. Peace.

[@GovnaBuckingham]

@@jimmyvideo3617 ok karen

[@GovnaBuckingham]

@@jimmyvideo3617 this was also back when his health halted his tour and there was a chance he might die you moron

[@Yeahmanyup]

Literally 10 year old comment

[@300warrior300]

1:01 I like what he did with the "nooo" i wish he'd done that on the original acoustic version

[@MrCookiesoldier]

He meant an Acoustic Version and in them most of times they dont usually scream

[@datilas2platoonrepresent878]

NoOoOoOOOo

[@RunaroundStar]

It sounded awesome.

[@datilas2platoonrepresent878]

ye

[@Lawol]

That's the best No I have ever heard lol

[@mikaylawestbrook2115]

Aaron looks so different! I didn't recognize him at first.

[@BreakMyFall2008]

@SelasSolaris Perhaps you should go back and watch the video. The close up on Ben singing lasts less than one minute of the 4 minute video and doesn't even occur until 2:09 into it. Not that it matters much because it's not like this is my job or anything. Hopefully you enjoyed the video.......

[@redyrnogardash]

@vamlltrm I'd kill to see him live too! But according to Wikipedia at least, due to some Phobias he doesn't leave the continent so he'll never come to Aussie :(

[@ieuan3evans]

The chair Ben was sitting on was actioned the next day :-) what nerds do ay

[@2otimesbetter]

i hate how the new AUTOTUNED artists that dont have 2 do shit get more money more fans and crap for fake stuff. while these guys have to work their asses off to impress us :D! i love them for that but i think bands like these should be on TOP OF THE WORLD.

[@OmieThaaHomie]

I would have jumped into the stage for one of his picks XD

[@SonOfManMusic]

nice

[@djadi1995]

is it just me or did i just hear the most ausum voice ever

[@brookebigger975]

LOL!!! i like the chick at 3:35 that screams WE LOVE YOU BEN!!!! XD

[@ThePatMoran]

This makes me sad, knowing that he hasn't performed since this show. & also the fact I almost went to this. :sadface:

[@OnlyOneLife696]

haha the guy next to him with the glasses looks funny

[@Am-Not-Jarvis]

Ben sounds great when he doesn't have terrible bronchitis. Thank god he kicked the habit.

[@MrDead67]

@GovnaBuckingham If you were to sell it, at least sell it to meet him and get his guitar autographed. I know I would. =D

[@warriorwithin24]

can someone tell me the tuning Ben uses in this acoustic performance?

[@Starry_Nights294]

warriorwithin24 drop c

[@bobafatty111]

[@ryan81923]

[@TheSithSiggi]

@94bayo a long time ago in a galaxy far far awayXD

[@94bayo]

Is his lung infection healed?

[@tonilindner22]

hamma song :)

[@richburnsred]

Good acoustic cover, but i like their piano version better would have been epic if they had someone playing a grand behind him. Also i know this is a recording and it always sounds better when you are there but he did hit quite a few bum notes. Tis a shame, but such an epic song none the less!

[@conorpsr]

He has such a nice quiet/deeper voice.. pity that he sung most of these songs as if they were plugged-in rock concert versions ;/ Still good stuff, but the loud rock voice sounds funny with the acoustic guitar.

[@DC11961]

@TheSithSiggi xD nice.

[@halolovingmaniac]

@vamlltrm Probably gettin some snacks :D

[@lankydude1000]

:D

[@brookebigger975]
