Evanescence - 12/4 show at IZOD

RustedEarth · 12-04-2007, 11:09 PM

Amy Lee was great, her voice is spectacular.. but the show lacked something, not quite sure what it was.. like they were going through the motions. This has been a long tour, so maybe they are just showing the fatigue.. ?

But a good show all around.

Did they play everything live or use a lot of sound track?

Alot of soundtrack, and the drummer err'ed more than once.. I actually think it was more like 10 times. The more I think about the show, since it's been a few hours past now, I think it was clearly signs of fatigue. It's either than or the band is unhappy and Amy Lee may do better as a solo act with a hired band, which would be happier to do the work.

Even with Amy sniffling like she's getting over a cold, she put on a fantastic show. I think she's tired, but still one hell of a show, and I've seen more than a fair share of concerts. The band, however, is what I think brought it down. Either they need a break or she needs to replace some people..

On a side note, the band Sick Puppies who was an opening band, was a decent band, but the chick they had on bass guitar, wow. Not just wow she's hot because thats most peoples reaction I guess, but wow she can really handle a bass guitar. Excellent professional A+ grade bassist. I wish her and the band well. Their lead singer came off as a real nice guy with alot of enthusiam and a good show all around.

Thanks very much for the review RustedEarth!

It doesn't surprise me that they are quite tired

Its been a long tour and a long 18 months or so for Amy. Sounds like you had a great time anyway

And I agree with you - it's unlikely Evanescence will continue with this lineup.

The band behind her were members of Dark New Day and were put on the tour at the last minute so, it's understandable. I am not a big fan of on-stage sound tracking; it really turns me off; kind of like cheating. I saw a show on cable with Sick Puppies and thought they were very good also. In spite of all sounds like a good time.

^^ Its a surprise if they are'nt really performing though 'cos Amy always talks so enthusiastically about them. But as you say they were added last minute so.....

I have listened to Dark New Day many times on YouTube since their addition and they are a very good band but this is the last show of a long tour and they all could have been spent. Amy's OK she just had to hop in the limo and drive to her new home in Manhattan; a short jaunt from the Izod.

Ahh, she shouldv'e told me. I'm a NYC yellow-cabbie, and I brought my car to the show. I could have given her a ride off the meter
