thanks for posting this appreciate it now my neck hurts from headbanging so much 😀

[@jessebeeghly3608]

Adam D will forever be one of the most entertaining guitarists lol

[@jamilshahror2920]

Damn right!

[@AkitaMetal]

He’s got better rhythm than most as well

[@SonOfManMusic]

A guitar hero of mine. Joel too. Lol

[@InnV696]

This is dream setlist for every Killswitch Engage fan... The level of the atmosphere is...I am speechless

[@rynnvierra9999]

I was there and honestly couldnt have asked for a better set than that, the energy for holy diver towards the end was insane

[@ChickenThug55]

Saving this and ripping it to mp3 for heavy rotation!

[@heffmaister93]

the fact that they played so many songs from the three first albums makes this concert so damn good

[@MartynBrown]

Literally a greatest hits set and Jesse smashed the Howard bangers as well as his own

[@MetalLee1234]

There's nothing from the first 2000 album.

[@IFIMTHEDEV1L]

They know what the fans really crave

[@heffmaister93]

Yeah my bad! That album is not a big hit here in Sweden so I keep forgetting about it haha. They should play Vide Infra that song still slaps!@@MetalLee1234

[@stefantopuzov6140]

Rise Inside gave me goosebumps! Great setlist!

[@JakN]

Never thought we'd get Reject Yourself in the setlist!

[@ГошаСмирнов-п4й]

Yee! Thats awesome

[@keenanjacobs9949]

That clean part gets me everytime

[@MMA-mh9uv]

yeah they played it in 2022 in Orlando, was blown away as it's a great song.

[@quentindescotte6037]

The element of one too ❤

[@HaruSkage]

@@quentindescotte6037But that one is on their 2004 DVD, and they brought it back in 2012 when they played AoJB in its entirety.

[@Janaya-fs8iz]

A 21 song set list is just insane! 😮

[@Khazandar]

Not really, that's quite normal for headliners :3

[@goodini026]

Adam is a goddamn national treasure

[@christopherwonnacottnumber1]

❤

[@letsalljustchill]

I was a massive fan when Howard was fronting Killswitch. It is dope to hear Jesse do so many songs that aren’t ‘his’ and give it everything, in the same way Howard did when he was fronting. I think I am going to start listening to them again. New stuff and old.

[@christopherlindsey9516]

Never forget this was Jesse's band before Howard's

[@youknowhuwitis]

Never forget when I saw them open for Iron Maiden, and they brought Howard on to sing a song. It was such an epic moment.

[@TmanTheLord]

thankful to see this comment. man i think they are getting even better! the last 3 albums have be top shelf when it comes to writing and production, and they are so damn good live too. Jesse and Adam writing together will never get old for me. IMO some of the best are "The Call", "Beyond the Flames", "The Journey Upraised". they haven't missed man.

[@heelgill]

​@@christopherlindsey9516No one forgot that, hence him bringing up Jesse the way he did. Also, Mike's the one who founded the band. Let us all not forget that.

[@nostalgicgaming9336]

Having reject yourself in this set list is a blessing from the metal gods

[@onlyfriendyeah]

this band will always be god tier. couldn't be at any festivals this year due to health so ty bloodstock for sharing

[@chief8825]

I was lucky enough to see them at the Charlotte NC show in 2021 with slipknot. KSE stole the show, one of the greatest bands of all time

[@jonathanwickett7028]

For sure man. I saw them in London when I was a kid serving in the navy . So cool and unreal to see them today. Wtf they are doing work on Manny levels. Love Jesse love Howard. Still can't believe we exist in a time where jesse has made his triumphant return. This is emotional to think about as I never thought I'd see this come to pass. On thah note holy fuck shadows Fall is returning. Compliments of Adam d. Coincidence I think not .rock on brothers

[@pyrogian]

hope you feel better for watching this 😀

[@onlyfriendyeah]

@@pyrogian thankyou! lucky to be alive at a time when this stuff is available

[@bobjenks8642]

This band is so legendary. I’m just glad they’re here still tearing shit up!!

[@manuelwretzky4582]

This is their best setlist and excellent Pro-Shot too. Seriously their best, Thank You.

Wish we got to see some crowd shots 😢

[@Solid_Enemy]

God it warms my heart to hear Adam D yell obscenities at the crowd.

[@kingezremV]

with this setlist kse should do another live album.

[@luissalvadorloayzasosa3187]

Hermoso setlist

[@marcusmvcm]

Or simply rework the audio from the soundboard for this show and release the tracks on streaming. It would already be excellent.

[@kengur3403]

Damn Killswitch how can you make an grown man fill his eyes with tears? 😂😊 I can't wait to see you live in Australia!!! Love you guys!

[@thenightmare92]

That right there is a PERFECT Killswitch setlist! Whole band sounded flawless!

[@TheROB0TGuy]

And this is why they will always be my favorite band of all. I will never choose between Jesse or Howard, both are God tier in their work. Thank you KsE for getting me through the darkest of times in my life! All hails 🤘🏻

[@Blessed2XS]

Hail Jesus 🕊✝️💯 KsE are the best band ever!!!

[@reneheadbanger1246]

we should accept the reality that the more time passes, the more it looks like Adam D. is Will Ferrell in a costume

[@andrewhackney3379]

My face looked like a cat seeing Christmas lights for the first time the entire time they were on 👌 they really are something else live

[@evilsheep88]

Is INCREDIBLE how Jesse Makes Howard's songs his own i love it

[@zacharyhullender8663]

Jesse is the original lead singer, wish he wouldve never left but with that being said we got some great songs with Howard.

[@V8SlayeR6661]

On this fire burns he have not the sale level of Howard,i prefer Howard

[@V8SlayeR6661]

Same*

[@Mattipedersen]

@@zacharyhullender8663 I always preferred Jesse to Howard, myself. In my case, I started listening to KsE before "The End of Heartache" was released, which probably has a lot to do with it. In fact, "Alive or Just Breathing" is one of the best albums of all time, in my opinion. When Howard took over, I wasn't really a fan of his Soulful clean vocals, which really took some time to get used to. However, I will admit, Howard had greater range with his screaming, at the time. Of course, like many fans, I grew to like and accept Howard.

[@CaptainsGamertag]

honestly man Adam Ds ability to play and be such a goofball is impressive in itself, and by god that man has written some of the best riffs in metal history

[@AkitaMetal]

Completely agree, his gig where he played hardcore gig without Joel just amazed me. Guys so talented, along with Joel of course. They rarely miss a note.

So many things good about this band. But. The fucking pinch harmonic warfare that occurs between Adam and Joel is just...superb.

[@Jellyfriedfatness]

I’ve seen them live only once. And they are amazing! This sound does them no justice in the vocal section. But live I promise you it sounds amazing. And the crowd . To each and every one of you who are not moving and have their phone out.... fuck off. The way we show the band appreciation is not by the price we pay for the ticket but the energy we give back. Ugh I feel old . Maybe you’re standing still purely to take it all in , but I doubt it.... it’s because there’s no interest anymore. The world is yours This music is mine!

I just love the fact that Jesse is back in the band, dont get me wrong. I love howard's era just as much, when i heard Killswitch the first time i believe it Holy diver cover. But i had to learn more of the group, but jesse has more an aggresive tone. Howard had a more positive tone for his material, at least to my ears. But both are wonderful vocalists and i'd like see the band live with them both singing some day
