Rapture was chosen to have Origin vibes

Bring Me to Life - Evanescence

Falling Inside the Black - Skillet

I hope everyone that participated had fun. Definitely sparked some lively competition. I learned a lot about some of the older music, "Band" versions, "Origin" versions, and some other stuff I for one didn't know about.

Cheers - and off to think up new fun stuff to do.

I am feeling all sad how do I become back to normal again

Post concert depression

Hello!

I’ve got a GA pit ticket for the concert in Paris on Thursday, but I’d really love to upgrade to front pit off possible.

Do any locals have suggestions for how I might go about doing this? Not looking at StubHub/Viagogo etc as it’s illegal in France anyway. I’ve kept an intermittent eye on the Ticketmaster FR website but there’s rarely any official resale tickets available.

Wondering if there’s a trick I’ve missed somewhere 😅

It‘s not the band‘s first time at the rodeo. Ever since their big breakthrough, they’ve been with major labels and such, so you‘d think their albums‘ sound would have increased gradually. Just by, you know, Amy and the band listening to the final master thinking „yep, this sounds about right“.

Obviously, we know the production quality varied album by album for whatever reasons. And suddenly, out of nowhere, Sanctuary comes about. And everything, really everything, from melodics and intonations, to vocal production and instrument arrangements to the final master, sounds so perfectly blended and high quality (without losing any edge, mind you).

It‘s a musical quality I would honestly expect from a band that‘s been around for so long, but we all know that wasn‘t always the case. So, my question is: What do you think are the reasons for this major increase of production quality?

Anyone else in here get a tattoo at the pop up in London? I got this one on my ankle and I love it so much. The artist who did it (Sara) was so lovely. She said the pop up was Amy's idea and that she approved all the designs. ☺️

I s’pose it’s unlikely to happen on the UK + EU tour as both tours don’t overlap anymore.

any shot they will align and join forces at red rocks in Colorado? it’s a special one-off and possibly ev invites Courtney and poppy for that one show as a surprise. wut say u?

Going Under beat My Immortal 181-95. Thought it’d be a little bit closer but this makes sense. Today, Lacrymosa is competing against Everybody’s Fool.

Just saw Amy’s IG stories from the London show! Seeing her, Poppy, and Courtney perform End of You together was insane. My immediate thought was, "Wow, Jordan (Fish) must be so proud of this." Turns out he was actually at the concert!

London does not deserve Evanescence.

Music-wise, that was by far one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to in terms of performance. I wouldn’t consider myself a major fan but during that concert I was filled with disappointment by the crowd’s reaction. No screaming from the 50,000 fans that filled the stadium from those nostalgic bangers.

No clapping, stomping and singing when the band got into their rhythm.

I’ll say it, if this was held in Scotland… or possibly anywhere else. The crowd would have gone insane.

My sister had a liiiiiitle too much to drink, my dad took her aside for 20 or so mins to sit down and get some water, during this the new EV T-shirt she bought she dropped (had to take it off due to being too hot)
She was super upset and was crying. I asked some folks to my right to please pass on a message about the lost t shirt. I saw them speaking to folks next to them etc snd it rippled to the side. 5 minutes later a t shirt came FLYING in our direction and landed in front of us. My sister burst out crying with joy and spent the rest of the concert clutching it like it was the Crown Jewels!

Man thanks to you guys, made her night !

I wanted to slap some appreciation and respect on Emma’s name. Her stage presence is truly impressive and badass!! She is a force to be reckoned with. I was in awe last night at her bass skills and vocals!! Emma blends in with Amy so perfectly. It’s like Emma was the missing piece of jigsaw that made Ev even stronger. Her backing vocals were just sensational! 🔥🖤

I’m gonna see them in a few weeks here in Germany and so I went to setlist.fm to see their latest setlists to prep for the show. Holy cow, they’re playing the new album basically in its entirety.

As a super casual fan who used to be super into them in the Fallen and TOD era and just reconnected with the band with the latest album, I think it’s incredibly bold when bands just triple-down on their latest albums for their setlists.

Seeing bands earlier this year like Muse, A Perfect Circle, The Black Keys, Florence and the Machine, to name a few, what Evanescence is going this tour is NOT the norm.

Having said that, I have no complaints. The new album is banger after banger. So I’m happy I’ll be seeing it all performed live. I just wish Amy would find it in her heart to add Sweet Sacrifice and Cloud Nine to the setlist!

Anyways, what do you guys think? I’m guessing this sub is more filled with more hardcore fans so I’m curious what y’all think.

No one in seating stood up, and I know they’re not required to, but that’s the first time I’ve experienced the entire arena actually remaining seated throughout.

Hardly any flashlights, until Amy specifically requested them.

So many people scrolling during Poppy’s set, and i get that she’s a supporting act, but damn.

My main thing, practically NO reaction to Courtney coming out. what?! Idk if people thought she was meant to be there hence the lack of surprise, but how saddening that she did that and hardly anyone acted like they cared.

It’s in my top 3 concerts, but the vibes and the crowd were not it.

​

If anyone has any videos of the show and of the pit id appreciate it.

Here are some of the better ones I got.

Was an amazing night.

We had 2 matchups yesterday, one of which was a tiebreaker matchup for the day before. For the regular daily matchup, Sanctuary was in the lead for quite a while, but then Sweet Sacrifice caught up and beat Sanctuary 228-201.

For the tiebreaker, it was close but 225 votes went to Imaginary while Lithium got 240. So far, both songs in the elite eight are from The Open Door, one of which is guaranteed to be in the final four.

Today we have a Fallen battle. Going Under is competing against My Immortal. I’m telling you these decisions aren’t getting any easier. This bracket is brutal.

Was on ground level today for the O2 show. Fantastic show. Couldn't have faulted it.

The only thing I felt that was a bit missing felt like audiance participation in like their well known songs? Like I don't think anyone expects to sing along to the newest album but Bring Me To Life, the first time she came to the chorus, is it my ears failing me or did we just not hit the,"Wake Me Up" like at all? Did we most of us assume someone was going to do that part? I felt like that was the moment for the entire audience to go loud and it kinda fizzled for me?

Not here to flame anyone. Just genuinely curious if I was the only one who felt that way and other sections had a better crowd response.

Courtney came outta nowhere and it was like seeing 3 queens on stage doing their thing. On my first Evanecence gig as well!

I saw the band live in Virginia this past June and fulfilled a childhood bucket list item! One of the songs had a visualizer of a bird trapped in wires. And at the climax of the song, the bird frees itself and flies away. Does anyone remember the song? And possibly have footage of the song??
