And there it is, the grand finale to this series. I'm a little disappointed that Lady Bug is the only B-side they've played. Ordinary Man and Better Days live would be incredible. I don't really have much else to say other than this series was so much fun to do, looking back on the band's career and seeing how far they've come and how much of their catalogue they've played. Thank you to everyone that followed me on this journey and hopefully relatively soon I can come back and do the new album. I plan on doing other bands' catalogues in the meantime because this is really fun! Again, thank you all!

Two in one day! I have a lot of free time right now lmao so might as well! Per setlist.fm as usual. Might be some recency bias factored into this as well, even though recency here means... 8 years ago. Insane.

Feed the Wolf: Never performed live

Blood: November 22, 2025 at Neon City Festival 2025 (43 performances in total)

Save Yourself: Never performed live

Close Your Eyes: Never performed live

And that is officially a wrap on all of Breaking Benjamin's (as of right now) discography. Hopefully we get that new album this year finally lol. Crazy that they've played more songs from this album than Dark Before Dawn if only by one song. Those never performed songs would be phenomenal live though I bet, hopefully they bust them out for a future tour. I am glad they play Blood though, that's my favorite off this album!

Also, one more thing: this isn't quite the end of the Breaking Benjamin performances series, as I'm going to conclude it with their non-album singles like Blow Me Away and Awaken (I know Awaken is technically the first single off the upcoming album but it's been almost 2 years so it's basically a standalone single to me right now) along with some b-sides and random covers they've done of other bands and artists over the years!

Ashes of Eden: March 26th, 2024 at Erie Insurance Arena in Erie, Pennsylvania (215 times in total)

Defeated: Never performed live

And there we have it on their comeback album! Gotta be honest, I'm a little disappointed, their track record for their first 4 albums and giving each song at least one performance was solid. But that's 4 songs on here that according to setlist.fm have never been played live and that's crazy. Especially Hollow and Defeated. I'd love to hear those live! Hollow is my favorite song off this album lol.

Without You: November 22, 2025 at Neon City Festival 2025 (94 performances in total)

And that's a wrap on Dear Agony! I think this is the most evenly split of their albums as far as songs still played recently and ones that haven't been played in a while go, with 6 songs still played live within this decade and others not played in 10 years or more. But I guess that's the price you pay when you're 6 albums deep into your music career, some songs just end up taking precedent over others.

They should definitely bring back Hopeless and Into the Nothing live, love those songs.

I will give them credit too, they've given every song of theirs thus far at least one performance live, back in the /r/Chevelle lists that inspired me to do these, some of their songs have literally never been played live. That's not a dig at Chevelle at all, I love that band. Just a wild and interesting contrast I saw between the two bands lmao.

You Fight Me: October 24, 2006 at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Columbus, Ohio (1 performance in total)

And there we have it on Phobia! Sorry that for the first 5 songs it started to look like that it got a little too samey. But at the same time, I'm glad they still give this beautiful album it's due. Except for Topless, Here We Are, and You Fight Me, it's criminal that they haven't played those in 10 and 20 years. Especially Topless, that's one of my favorite songs of theirs, it's a little cheesy but it's fun.

But You Fight Me only being played once almost 20 years ago? That's crazy! I hope they bring it back one day.

Edit: Thank you /u/33GoodSamaritans for letting me know about my typo and forgetting to put the performances for Had Enough. It has been fixed!
