If I had to put money on it I'd say it was Skan who supplied the sound and sound engineer. They are Berkshire based and have been around long before the 90's! I know they supply sound for the second stage at Download Festival. And Bizkits Download 2013 set sounded awesome!!!

The sound engineers have out done themselves. What a crispy, tasty mix. That snare and bass. Doesn't feel like 2003. They played this show free after their original date was canceled. And not just for the ticket holders, but everyone! Good old times that will never come back. No phones, just people enjoying themselves. One of the best live rock/metal shows. This will remain eternal.

I feel so privileged to have been at this show. It's second only to Oasis at Knebworth for the best concert I've ever been to. I also went to the small warm-up show at the Apollo in Manchester a couple of nights before. That was a fuckin mental gig too. I got dropped while crowd surfing at Finsbury and ruptured a vertabrae, I'm 40 now and still have back pain from it. I'd rupture another couple of those fuckers for the chance to experience this show again.

[@ivanoliver9532]

So many people say their best era is the pre RMV, a lot people said after Wes leaving the band Limp Bizkit was dead. But ironically 2003-2004 was Fred's best vocal era and like it or not Mike's live sound is way cleaner than Borland's. My point is, when most people said LM was over they were actually at their best!

Mike четче рифы играет, Василий виртуоз, безспорно, но как исполнитель Mike подходил к игре серьезнее. Василий на сцене больше для себя, чем для слушателей.
