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 band’s 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 Korn's “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 did an awesome job. The venue and sound were solid. Entry and exit were seamless. Unfortunately, I assume the crowd was quite dead I assume due to it being a Monday (and it just being an Ottawa crowd). I felt a bit bad for the band because of this. Big ups to Evanescence tho this was a performance that I think was special for many people there.
From our Seats on the Side we had good view and the sound was not too loud. That was good. Only bad point is being unable to use the toilets because of the big queue
I was amazed by the fact that all 3 parts were equal to me. I discovered The Warning, and redescovered Halestorm! Evanescence was a bit disappointing, maybe because I just expect old vintage classics. But the 3 main old songs the did were good.
The opening acts were the perfect compliment to #Evanescence. #thewarning was amazing to see 3 super powerful sisters rocking it out with heart and soul. The follow up with #halestorm left me energized and inspired. I feel so lucky to witness such great talents. When #Evanescence came on the energy level just went thru the roof. Her whole body, soul and voice opened up and she let it be a conduit for the music. The drum solos and guitar solos were intensely felt through my bones. What an amazing show!!
The attendants were super polite and helpful as always. The Warning are my current favourite band. These sisters from Mexico are fantastic performers and I love their latest songs; Sick, More and Automatic Sun were great to see performed live. I can't wait to see them headlining their own tours in the near future. I did not know much about Halestorm before seeing them at the Bud, but Lizzy put on a very committed, energetic performance and her fans seemed to be more than satisfied. I love it when the talent give it their all in a performance. Cudos to them. Evanescence....one of my all-time favourite bands. Amy Lee's voice has been the measuring stick for everyone else that I listen to since their first appearance. Still powerful, precise and inspiring, I could not have enjoyed their set more. Truly worth every penny we paid to see the band. An unforgettable experience. Thank you for coming to Canada on your latest tour.
That was an epic concert by all acts!! I have never been to a concert before where the opening acts were that impressive! The only negative is the process in which we have to go through to see these awesome bands! All of these third party sites, like Ticketmaster charge an excessive service charge and hold the fans hostage to pay if they want to see live events!
Halestorm and Evanescence were both good shows although I found the music overpowered their voices too much. They have such beautiful voices
Amazing performance by all. Only qualm is that the sound wasn’t always consistent, which may be because of where I was sitting.
It was a blast and the performance was awesome. Only downfall is that the venue is cashless. You can put cash onto a card for purchases but the card is only good at the event. The merchandise is separate from the venue and was not aware of this. However they did give me my cash back from the card as the merchandise does take cash. So if buying merch don’t put cash on a card. If you want beer or food then card is good.
The concert itself was AMAZING. The bands were fantastic, i had an absolute amazing time. HOWEVER, the venue itself was not prepared, they did not have things organized. We had VIP tour tickets for evanescence. I checked in, got our landyards etc, was in line to go to the floor area and was turned away because i didnt have a bracelet. Was never told i needed a bracelet. Went all the way back out, to wait in line and get said bracelet to come all the way back in, and get our seats. Cool. Other people complained, they did not have landyards because they ran out. People for soundcheck vip didnt get their gifts etc. It was just absolute pandemonium, it was not organized at all. Either way i had a great time listening to the bands, they were fabulous. But the venue needs to get their act together
What a great line up. Each group was great in their own right and the intensity of each group increased over the evening. Whoever put this together was a genius. Great show.
It was amazing experience. All the ladies rocked and Amy Lee was a vocal goddess 🖤
Vocals were on point!! Very Awesome show!!! Both Bands really know how to put on a performance!!
Great music, great sound. My wife and I loved the show in Ottawa.
Mind blowing show !!! Epic seats...staff were incredibly helpful and the entire crowd, was pumped !!
From opening Band "The Warning"to Lzzy Hale and Halestorm to Evanescence. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. 🤘🤘 Multifacited Talented musicians that can sing and play instruments. This was my 5th Evanescence concert. The only thing is, I wished they came to Toronto instead of London, Ontario or Ottawa. Can't wait to see them all again!
Evanescence are my favourite band so any live performance by the wonderful Amy Lee and Evanescence altogether would be fantastic! Recommend seeing them if you can and will see them again hopefully soon!
That was an awesome show. The Warning was a great opener and was really looking forward to seeing them live. great songs they had and energy on stage. Halestorm was on my bucket list to see. Izzy had an incredible voice! Loved the duet with Amy Lee. Evanescence put on a great performance as well although i could hear some strain in her voice, she did deliver. Loved their version of the Halloween movie theme performed by the band in time for the season. This was worth the price i paid for the show. Now if the parking price could have been a little cheaper, it would have been perfect!
I'd like to say I was impressed by all three of the acts. The sound was good and clear. The lighting and stage was good and all three bands knocked it out of the park. I didn't know much about the Warning but they were excellent. Halestorm had a great stage presence and Lzzy Hale has a very strong voice. What can I say about Evanescance, they were great. I spent a decent amount on merchandise and refreshments but I was treating myself to a night out. Would definitely see them again.
We enjoyed the show at CTC, our floor seats were well-located to not miss a thing, and the event staff were very helpful and professional. I had hoped that being close to the sound booth, that the sound would be very good, however I would give it a C. The midranges were too pronounced, drowning out some of the highs and producing a 'wall' of sound that made it hard to discern the different instruments at times. Of course sound is subjective and perhaps it sounded very good to the sound booth engineers. Other than that we totally enjoyed the show.
