Well i am happy to contribute to the title of this thread

My review is on the legends and lyrics thread but I'll post it here also:Hey you all, just got home from this amazing, fun show!

First off, true to all the talk they only played old stuff..I think the only non album song was "Missing" everything else was from the 2 albums. Yes, Amy looked incredible with strapless dreess, multicolored scarf or whatever, I'll leave that to Myra...who i was looking for but, we didn't connect!

Anyway, this was one HELL of a show; flawless and rafter shaking excitement to the very end. Amy was PUMPED - no doubt in my mind...man, she was lovin' being up there and the audience responded. I was in dead center floor about 20 feet away and I had a superb view...the place is smallish so you really can't go wrong here and, for a sold out show the crowd seemed small which means they sold a limited amount of tickets which was cool. The new lead guitarist was a fill-in from a band called "11 fingers" I believe and was more than superb.

The band was as tight musically as you can get and were obviously enjoying every minute of it. Terry even got into some headbanging which made me cringe a bit because of the stroke he got last time but he limited it. I have seen hundreds of shows from some of Rock's top performers and i put this one into my top five immediately.

The crowd around me was also really into it and we were dancing and slapping hands and everyone seemed to know every word...it was a joyous experience to say the very least...I was crying from the sheer natural high the band was exploding out to the people. i am totally hoarse from singing. Also, to my surprise the crowd was as diversified as I have ever seen and, funny, I wasn't the oldest one there! Yeah, I the no camera rumors - there were people with full size SLR's taking shots...I filled up my cell phone so I'll have to see how they came out but i am not expecting much.

Anyway...the songs as I remember them...didn't write them down so they are not in exact order:

Going Under, Weight of the World, Missing, Haunted, The Only One, Whisper, Cloud Nine, Good Enough, Lithium, Taking Over Me, Lacrymosa(best song of the night, IMHO), BMTL, CMWYS, Imaginary, My Immortal, Your Star(last song...2nd best of the set). I may be missing one - have to check with Myra but I think also All That I'm Living For.

The sound, loud for sure and the band really came through great but, on occasion, drownded out Amy's voice somewhat but not too bad, I would have given her mic a little more juice if I was the sound engineer...but all in all and A+++ experience that i will never forget and will savor in my mind.

My daughter was with me and wasn't a fan..she is now!

Keep you eye on the other forums and YouTube - there will be muco pic coming out on this show. That's my review...woooo!!!!!!

OK well here is what I said on the other thread!

Quote:

This is my ghost typing because I died!

This is just a quick summary because I`m dead tired so I`ll post more tomorrow in detail! First things first, Amy looked amazing!

Her hair was super short, like on her shoulder, and straight. She wore like a corset type top but it had one strap with this colorful skirt almost like a tutu but not really. It was like a whole bunch of fringe, it`s kinda hard to explain

She looked fresh. Her voice was immaculate! She sounded so clear and strong OMG! They sang like 17 songs I think, I put them on my phone so I`ll post them tomorrow. My highlight of the night was when they closed with Your Star! I have always wanted to see Amy play the piano to that!

The only thing I`m mad about is that cameras were allowed there. I thought they weren`t allowed. Everyone had cameras and I was so jealous! And also, I think it took really long for Ev to actually start their set. It was over so fast too

I`ll post more about it tomorrow. Night!

Here is the songs they sang in order since I had them copied.

1. Going Under
2. Weight Of The World
3. The Only One
4. Missing
5. Cloud Nine
6. Haunted
7. Lithium
8. Good Enough
9. Whisper
10. Call Me When You're Sober
11. Imaginary
12. Bring Me To Life
13. All That I'm Living For
14. Taking Over Me
15. Lacrymosa

Encore

16. My Immortal
17. Your Star

I know they were supposed to sing Sweet Sacrifice but they had some technical problems with Terry`s guitar and they had to skip it. The went right into The Only One and then they played Missing while they fixed the problem.

Deadly Poison · 11-05-2009, 10:09 AM

That all sounds amazing

and they played my 3 favourite Ev songs

I found some pics

Hey, I didn't do too bad from memory huh, Myra?

Anyway, downloaded my cell phone pics and they are crapola so forget that but there are numerous shots appearing on the Tube so, no worries.

**broken|smile** · 11-05-2009, 01:33 PM

Oh my god you guys that sounds incredible

Soooo glad to hear you guys had fun and that the concert went well, Amy looks gorgeous as always

Though I wish youd taken cameras but at least this way you were able to enjoy the show without worrying about pics

Peyton Scott · 11-05-2009, 03:08 PM

Well look at those pics!

I guess I didn`t describe her outfit too badly. She looked like a fairy Goddess.

I`m kinda bummed they didn`t play Snow White Queen.

There are tons of vids and pics coming out of this one and we are all bummed about a song we didn't hear...so many wanted Tourniquet and My Last Breath...I wanted Haunted and, man, did she do a great job on that and would have loved to hear FOI but I knew that was a longshot at best....all in all it was a tear-evoking, heart-ripping, sweat-provoking spectacle...I can't find enough words for it!

BTW, check out this Good Enough vid and all of the show vids on this YouTuber's channel...very nice!

I think I have expressed myself fully but, you have been to one so you know how I am feeling and it's still with me...it would have raised the dead!

**StartSomething** · 11-06-2009, 12:53 PM

Thanks for the review Larry! Sounds like a fantastic night

Great playlist too

I'm loving what Amy is wearing

the girl looks stunning, love the boots

- would love a poster of her wearing that

I have a load of youtube clips to get through, which I'm watching later

AncientGoth · 11-06-2009, 09:27 PM
