You guys, okay? You still standing?” Lee asks. “I just want to take this moment to appreciate the moment. Not worry about the past, not worry about what’s gonna have to happen tomorrow…just right fucking here, right now tonight. ‘Cos this is a good night and, in those moments, when everything sucks, we can come back to this night. I’ll be right there with you,” Lee says. (...) “I wanna thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the past 20 years,” Lee proclaims at another moment. “I just want to say that it’s not that it didn’t mean something to me back then – of course it did, but it means so much more to me now because of you. When I play this next song, please know that it is about you, it is about us and everything we’ve been through together through our lives, through our losses, through the things we’ve seen together and the things that we only understand. Thank you so much for opening your heart and sharing with us and letting this music be a part of your life as much as it is a part of ours. We love you, this is for you.” There’s no encore for tonight’s show, instead they keep the energetic pace going right to the very end of their last breath with their biggest tracks to finish. My Immortal brings tears to the eyes of the crowd as phone torches light up the arena for an emotional moment as we sing in harmony for the touching piano-driven ballad. Lee proves Bring Me To Life doesn’t need a male vocalist to rap a verse and takes on every lyric herself for the earth-shattering anthem to raise the roof and bring the house down. killyourstereo.com/reviews/live-review-evanescence/hr80mJuanZw/31-08-23
The tour was promoted as celebrating 20 years since their break out album Fallen, and there’s always the question of whether they will play the album start to finish or mix it up. In the case of Fallen, the first four songs were all singles, so this seemed unlikely. To the audience’s surprise the band played a set spanning the band’s full career instead of focusing on their smash hit album, and by the 10th song of the setlist only three songs of Fallen had been played. (...) Lee’s haunting vocals echoed through the arena and sounded almost identical to the recordings. From her slow solo intro to End Of The Dream from their 2011 Self-Titled album to their second album The Open Door hits Lithium and Call Me When You’re Sober, she’s an absolute powerhouse. Before launching into the emotional [My] Immortal on piano, Lee thanks the crowd - “Thank you so much for opening your heart and sharing with us and letting this music be a part of your life as much as it is a part of ours. We love you, this is for you.” ditchthismagazine.com/galleries/evanescence23
