In March 2005, American nu-metal legends Korn—led by Jonathan Davis and in classic lineup with James "Munky" Shaffer, Brian "Head" Welch, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, and David Silveria—performed at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, the iconic 3,600-capacity venue in midtown Manhattan. This show was part of the tour supporting See You on the Other Side (2005), their first without producer Ross Robinson, and was recorded professionally for the release Live on the Other Side (2006).
The performance caught the band in aggressive and emotional form: heavy 7-string riffs, Fieldy's bass thumps, and Silveria's drum barrage backed Davis' screaming and emotional outbursts to create total madness. The crowd went wild through classics and new tracks—masks, jumps, sweat, and pure mid-2000s adrenaline. This gig—one of the most powerful and emotional moments in Korn's history—where nu-metal sounds at its rawest and fiercest.
