Evanescence Concert Schedule and Tour
Rock group Evanescence, initially formed in 1994 by Amy Lee and Ben Moody, released three EPs before the end of the 90s and an album called Origin. By 2002 they were signed to Wind-Up Records and expanded the line-up to include musicians John LeCompt, Will Boyd and Rocky Gray. In 2003 they released their first official album, Fallen, which sold over 15 million copies. Evanescence released a live album, Anywhere But Home, in 2004. This was followed by Open Door in 2006, which sold one million copies in its first week. The band then waited five years to release their third album, the self-titled Evanescence. The band has toured extensively across the world. Their 2012 world tour took in a number of dates in the UK, South America , North America, Australia, China, Japan and Indonesia. The band has received five Grammy nominations and has won two awards for Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance. Other accolades for the band include a Los Premios MTV award, a MTV Australia Video Music Award, a NRJ Music Award, two Teen Choice Awards and a World Music Award. Amy Lee was awarded the National Music Publishers' Association's Songwriter Icon Award in 2008. The bands line-up has varied with a number of members leaving at various stages in their history. One of the founding members, Ben Moody, left in the middle of their European tour in 2003. He was replaced by Terry Balsamo. In 2005, Will Boyd also left, with Tim McCord joining in 2006. During their 2007 tour, John LeCompt was fired and Rocky Gray decided to quit. These two members were replaced by Troy Lawham and Will Hunt. Evanescence's lead singer Amy Lee has worked on a number of other projects. Her version of “Sally's Song" was included on the soundtrack for Disney's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Her collaborations with other artists have included “Freak on a Leash" single and Seether's Broken, which was featured on the soundtrack for The Punisher. She has also performed on tracks for David Hodges, Big Dismal and The Damning Well.

They sound amazing live. Amy's voice is incredible!
Last night was the first chance I had to see Evanescence perform and it was well worth the wait. I've been in love with Amy ever since the first time I heard her. Her voice goes through me like blood through veins. I will do everything I can to see every show that she performs in NY.
all songs sound the same. didnt sound any better than albums
Excellent concert. The energy was amazing. Please start a tour soon (with lots of tour dates in NYC please!!!!!!). It's time for a bigger venue like Madison Square garden!
Evanescence were in fine form, playing excellent, and Amy Lee's voice was flawless. The venue suited her well, small-to-mid sized ballroom venue, which allowed you to hear every detail in her vocals and the band. I'd previously seen Evanescence at the Izod Center, and the poor speaker set-up washed out her vocals. Not so in this venue at this show. I was very pleased with the sound. Amy Lee looked great, too! It's these smaller, intimate venues that allow you to truly enjoy the artist and their performance. The arena venues tend to be a bit too removed and sterile. It was also kinda neat that this was their only show this year. It made it more special as a fan. I even got a tshirt with the one date listed on it, lol. I was hoping they'd perform at least one or two finished songs from the upcoming new album, but no such luck. I still enjoyed it, but it would have been cool to have been the only people to have heard something of the new stuff. Definitely a night to remember.
Amy Lee was absolutely AMAZING!!! Her voice reached to the rafters and down into your soul!!! She puts so much energy into her performances. Her renditions of Going Under, Bring Me To Life, Imaginary, Weight of the World, Call Me When You're Sober, Lithium and Good Enough just totally ROCKED the place to its core. The audience ranged from teenagers to fifty-somethings showing the wide appeal of their music. If their first two albums and supporting performances are any indication, their third album will go to number 1 in very short order.
Concert was very personal. Not a huge amount of people, only hard core fans, and the music was simply superb. She's a phenomenal singer and the music resonates very well in this concert hall.
The whole band sounded amazing! Amy Lee was at the top of her game sounding refreshed and probably the best she's ever sounded! It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The entire show was astounding from beginning to end. Absolutely wonderful!!!
The show they put on was frakkin awesome!!! Unbelievable music.
OMG, they were amazing! Sounded awesome! Amy's voice was unbeleivable! Probably the best Ev show I been too and this is my 4th! Was in second row after waiting about 5 1/2 hours outside! I cannot wait for the new album! The setlist was great! Loved "Missing"! And the cello that accompanied her during "Good Enough" was gorgeous! Had such a great time rocking out! Cant wait to see em again next year!! Took many pics and videos - will upload vids on YouTube later tonight!
great gig. her voice is angelic. musicians are fantastic. i highly recommend you check them out when you can.
Evanescence was amazing. This was their first show in a long time, and they did not disappoint the fans. The vocals were spot on, and despite a brief interruption because of technical difficulties, the band rocked the house as well. The venue was terrible. They were completely disorganized from the start with lines, meet and greet admission, and even the ticketing. People who had been online for 8 hours did not get to the front because they started a second line at two hours before the show and let those people up first. Every security guard you talked to had a different answer and told you something else as far as when you could go in. Good thing Evanescence was so amazing.
Amy is amazing in every sense. Great voice, great stage presense. I love the passion, energy, and emotion she bring. The soundsystem could have been better but that was not Amy's fault of course and she still sounded wonderful.
Great show. Played most of fallen and some from the last album. only one older track though, which was disappointing. Much better than their last show downstairs.
They Totally ROCK !!!! I hope they come to Los Angeles Very SOON>>>> I want to go to a good concert !!! LUCKY NY :) !!!
