Did you know... (Rating: 3 out of 5) ...that the CD also comes with a DVD? I bought both, and gave this one away. Save yourself some money and get that CD/DVD combo instead of this DVD.
A great DVD for an Evanescence fan! (Rating: 4 out of 5) What's better than having a live Evanescence concert on DVD? A ton of bonus footage to go along with it! This DVD is sure to please any Evanescence fan.
So what's to like about this DVD? The setlist is the same as any concert during this tour. I personally saw the band perform these songs when they did a show in Florida. It's great to hear the same songs you know and love sung differently. Most of the songs on the band's first album, Fallen, are on here except for "Hello". The two other songs that you may not recognize are "Breathe No More" (a ballad) and "Farther Away" (a harder song complete with an awesome drum and guitar-heavy intro). Both are songs that were written before the band's first album. You also have a cover of Korn's "Thoughtless" (which I personally think is better than the original) as well as "Missing", a track that was recorded pre-Fallen. "Missing" is a beautiful song presumably about suicide. No songs from the band's second album, the Open Door, are on this disc as this was recorded before that album was released.
It's great to see an entire Evanescence concert with your own eyes (especially for those people who haven't had the chance to watch a live Evanescence show). Highlights include the audience singing the chorus of "My Immortal" and the intro to "Haunted". You then have all four music videos for the singles that were released from Fallen, "Bring Me to Life", "Going Under", "My Immortal", and "Everybody's Fool".
The best part of the DVD is the bonus footage. Highlights include bloopers (on stage as well as press stuff), pranks (mostly from the band's last concert from this tour), and a ton of behind the scenes footage (on the tour bus as well as pre-show stuff).
Now onto the negatives. First of all, Amy's voice could be better. There are some pitchy spots that make me cringe but that is expected as most of the band's songs consist of Amy holding out notes and singing in full voice. The quality of the actual concert is iffy. There's a lot of special effects that take away from the show and way too many shots of the audience.
If you're a big Evanescence fan (or even a casual one), pick up this DVD. Better yet, pick up the CD/DVD set. The CD is an added bonus so you can listen to the concert whenever you want to.
Awesome collection from an Awesome band (Rating: 5 out of 5) Forget about what some people think about the video editing. The music is hard driving and intense. The video of the live performance needs to reflect the music. I know some people just want to watch Amy Lee the whole time but that's not what it's about.
For the moeny you get the live concert version of many great Ev songs, live concert videos and lots of behind-the-scenes footage. My wife, who doesn't even like Ev enjoyed the behind the scenes parts.
It's well worth it.
Evanescence Rocks (Rating: 5 out of 5) What can I say, I love Evanescence so this DVD is fantastic to put on the TV and sing along to while doing the housework! It reminds me of the great time I had at the concert and of course Amy Lee Rocks!!!
i am a fan and this was worth buying!!!! (Rating: 5 out of 5) recently seeing Amy Lee and the boys in concert, i had to have a live cd, and find out more about them.....i have loved there music since there 1st album and love it more now..this DVD was amazing to me, i liked every aspect of it, it showed behind the scenes and live conserts and videos....i enjoyed it very much, just like i did their consert....i wouldnt have it any other way.
This is haunting music that is different in everyway, its like eveytime i listen to any of her songs, i am swept away to some sort of crazy/mixed up fairytale.....
Buy this DVD, and enjoy Evanescence for yourself over and over in your own home....u have my word u will like it!!!!!
