   Summary: Evanescence cd + dvd.
Evanescence is probably my girlfriend's favorite group and she really enjoyed this DVD so that she can view it as she enjoys hearing the music.

   Summary: Even a 40-something mom will enjoy this
I've been searching for the "real" version of "Bring Me To Life" ever since I heard the bubble gum version on Kids Bop. For me, I enjoy music that features good vocals backed up by instrumentals -- particularly piano. Amy Lee definately has that. She reminds me of an Annie Lennox with a more modern edge. I guess I'm also drawn to darker sounding music in minor keys.

I bought this CD because I couldn't find the original album of Fallen where "Bring Me to Life" originally appeared. While this is a live album (which generally I'm not as fond of), the songs definately give you a good sense of what Evanescence is about and whether you will "bond" with them. Now I can't wait to get the other CDs and glad to have found this group and add them to my cadre of anguished chicks.

If you like Annie Lennox and/or Alanis Morisette, then you should like this group. And you will have the added advantage of not being accused of only liking bands from 1985 by your kids...

   Summary: Three songs not on "Fallen" (or "The Open Door")
Top-notch for a live album, not intoxicated and the sound quality is pretty good. Three songs not on "Fallen"! "Thoughtless" is as good as any single "Fallen" track, and the live concert footage on the DVD actually excited jaded 40-something me. Plus VH1/MTV videos, which some of us have never outgrown.

My highest recommendation is to buy all three Evanescence albums to date.

   Summary: A great set for an Evanescence fan!
What's better than having a live Evanescence concert on CD? Having a DVD to go along with it! This set is sure to please any Evanescence fan.

So what's to like about this CD/DVD set? Let's start off with the CD first. 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.

Now let's move on to the DVD. The DVD contains the live performances of each of the songs included on the CD. 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. As for the cd, 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. Other than that, I have no problems with the cd. As for the dvd, 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 set. The behind the scenes stuff is worth the cost alone.
