Evanescence Celebrate 20 Years of ‘Fallen’ At Madison Square Garden
idobi.com/high-life/evanescence-celebrate-20-years-of-fallen-at-madison-square-garden/
"When Evanescence broke onto the scene in the early 00s, Amy Lee immediately became a vocal powerhouse vocalist in the world of rock and roll and beyond. Her dynamic range effortlessly gliding over the band’s heavy gothic sound became a benchmark for others that still exists to this day. And fast-forward to today, where such power was on clear display at The Garden. A room that can be somewhat notorious for drowning out bands who can’t properly fill the void, Lee & Co had no such issue. Every note was as crystal clear as the last, reaching all the way up to the upper bowl and all 20,000 strong providing a backing vocal for one of the greatest voices of a generation.

This was the first time that Evanescence had performed at The Garden; a fact that outwardly filled Lee with joy. She joked with the crowd halfway through the set, saying, “it has been a dream of mine to play this room for such a long time. I’m just happy someone else is paying for the parking!” The second half of the set leaned heavily into The Bitter Truth material, with the band putting enormous energy behind their performance. Lee bounced all over the massive stage, running up and down the catwalk without missing a single note. The only moment that energy slowed was when a grand piano emerged from under the stage, and the first heartbreaking chords of “My Immortal” filled the air. With the stage dark, apart from some sparse lighting behind Lee, the entire room sang every word of the 2003 hit as one."
