Surprise! Amy wore the mirrorball costume! And a very interesting skeleton-like bracelet on her left hand.   Setlist: www.setlist.fm/setlist/evanescence/2023/target-center-minneapolis-mn-7bbae6fc.htmlPhoto by pjsvids (Emma). This setlist is identical to Chicago.
 Eric D. Howell was at this show too. There was no fake snow for Lithium... but outside the venue there was a lot of it  see the pictures by Atsushi Kimura. Seems that there was a huge sound issue at the beginning, see this. Later it got fixed and other songs sound good. Merch stand:
Photo by pjsvids: Love Over All is available but the tour poster was not there. Amy explained that there were wrong dates so the poster will be available later in the online store.   Videos:Broken Pieces Shine | The End Of The Dream | Use My Voice | Better Without YouShorts:

Reviews:"It felt like a treat to have One OK Rock lead into Evanescence, both bands sharing a passion for high-energy performances and an unapologetic approach to their music. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since the release of Evanescence’s debut album “Fallen,” but Amy Lee’s voice continues to stand up to the test of time. Her powerhouse vocals were on full display for an hour of stage-time, ending on iconic songs My Immortal and Bring Me To Life." www.musicinminnesota.com/muse-leaves-target-center-in-awe/"I’m almost surprised that I’m writing this but Sunday night was my first time catching Evanescence live. This band has been a mainstay in the scene since the mid-90s. That brought me an undeniable sense of nostalgia as I watched them play through their set but I also got this kind of shock and awe while watching them. It’s been years but this band has not changed at all and finally crossing them off my list was a true honor. I ’ll be honest, there were moments when vocalist Amy Lee’s vocals felt very flat and she seemed to struggle with some of the notes that she probably could have hit easily back in the day. Although this left me super disappointed with their performance of “Going Under”, I appreciated the fact that the band was actually playing live and will admit that Amy quickly redeemed herself and only had a few hiccups with her vocals throughout the track. Sure, there was some theatrics to Evanescence’s live show. Dramatic lighting, a giant logo hanging as the backdrop, a dazzling sparkled sleeve on Amy Lee’s outfit, a grand piano that raised from the middle of the stage, really, their set felt understated for the powerhouse that this band is and I loved that. Just like they didn’t rely just on their hits (although they did close out their set with their megahits “My Immortal” and “Bring Me To Life”) to carry the set, Evanescence stayed true to the band that they have been for decades and, fan or not, that’s something that I absolutely admire and respect." twincitiesmedia.net/blog/muse-brings-perfection-power-and-theatrics-to-target-center/"The crowd eagerly welcomed second opener Evanescence back to the stage with open arms, despite the band’s most recent visit to the Twin Cities being just this past fall. Screams rang out throughout, as lead singer Amy Lee gracefully marched to center stage, draped in a dramatic one-shoulder sparkling silver cape. “We’ve got a lot of music to play in a short amount of time,” Lee told her enraptured audience. “Let’s make the most of it.” Paired with Lee’s surging vocals, the band’s distorted metal guitar riffs and pulsing gothic bass melodies felt all-encompassing and magnetic. Lee was often brought to her knees as she sang, lunging toward the stage in a full-body release of the pain, grief, and love embedded in the band’s lyrics. Evanescence’s hour-long set wrapped with Lee thanking the audience for 20 years of their debut Fallen before launching into the blistering chords of “Bring Me to Life.” www.thecurrent.org/feature/2023/02/27/muse-deliver-electrifying-performance-at-target-center"A large number of fans got there early enough for Evanescence, which rewarded them near the start of its hourlong set with the hard-hitting 2006 hit "Call Me When You're Sober." The Arkansas-reared band then did a musical 180 as a grand piano rose up from under the stage, and its Tori-Amos-gone-Ronnie-James-Dio-like singer Amy Lee dramatically plunked out their power ballad "Lithium." www.startribune.com/review-muse-and-evanescence-make-a-dramatic-pair-in-minneapolis-rock-spectacle-matt-bellamy/600254660/ |
