So we managed to score a couple tickets to the “secret” Evanescence warmup show.
Apparently they have some huge 40k person show in Brazil coming up and wanted to do a test set since it’s been 2 years since they toured.
Amy Lee’s voice was a lot stronger than the last time we saw them. The setlist was solid, but sadly lethy did not score a hard copy of it… they had made notes on lighting and sound errors they needed to fix for the Brazil show! For a change the backing band was not virtual statues in the background. Finger Eleven’s guitarist joined them and had a lot of energy – especially compared to the actual band member lead guitarist.
In my opinion the drummer stole the show. He was never introduced and I have NFC who he is, he looked 16 or younger and he rocked. He twirled his sticks continually between beats, flung them up in the air and would jump up and down to do the big crash cymbal sequences. I saw him break (and subsequently launch into the crowd) at least a half dozen sticks during the show.
Sorry, once again no picks. We really need to get a point and shoot that can be smuggled into shows!
