Count me in. This will be my third Ev experience. As an Arkie during the school year and a Tennessean over the summer, this tour schedule is working out quite nicely. It's also on a Friday night, which makes it even better.

I'm going.:D I will be sitting in section 207, which is on the second level. We got the tickets about two hours after they went on sale and the whole floor was gone! :eek: Oh well, just as long as I can see and hear everybody good enough.
Hope to see some of y'all!

I'm debating whether I should spend the $150+ for 2 tickets on Ebay to be in the first 5 rows. I should have taken advantage of the pre-sale but never did. :(

Yeah. We can't go. Too broke plus its kind of a dangerous part of town. Dammit.

is it really? a couple weeks ago I was driving through like...super-inner-city-Atlanta. And I had no idea how the hell I got myself there and no idea how to get myself out. It was quite an adventure.

I'm going. :) I learned about it late though (shoulda been on the EvBoard more, lol), so I could only get seats in section 202 though. And I'm stuck with an extra ticket because I thought my brother was going to go, but he says he doesn't want to.

This show rocked. Although prior to the concert, I was upset that the best seats I was able to find were 10th row, that changed once I got to the venue. Right before the show, they decided to "do-away" with the first 7 rows and put a gate around it. Anyone who had tickets to those rows had to go in there and stand the whole time, all while being crushed/pushed/shoved from what it seemed like. So basically, my seats were row 3.

We watched Three Days Grace and stuck around for part of Breaking Benjamin, but my girlfriend wasn't too fond of B.B. so we decided to go walk around. As we were walking around, I decided to call a friend of mine and ask him who ended up getting the box seats I requested. I work for a company that is affiliated with Sirius and the House of Blues so those are 2 different box seat areas that I have access to usually. When I got on the phone with him, he goes "Oh man.. I just got an e-mail saying there are some tickets at will-call for you. Go see if it's anything better than what you have." So I went and checked it out, and they had an envelope there for us. Inside it were 12 general admission passes, all of the tickets to the House of Blues box, VIP passes, and VIP parking passes.

Since it was just my girlfriend and I, we didn't really have much use for any of it -- especially since we had already paid to park. We used the VIP passes to get free food and relax in the air conditioned VIP lounge between the set changes after that, so it was kind of cool. During the rest of Breaking Benjamin and through most of Seether we decided to hang out in the Box seats but when Ev came on, we went up to our front seats which I'm still glad I bought.

I had hoped for some kind of backstage passes or something using my connections -- but it didn't happen. Wasn't able to meet any members of the band, but I did get a great view in the 3rd row dead center. They did a few songs that I'd never heard before, not sure if it is new stuff or if they were just cover songs of other bands. Amy looked gorgeous and it was amazing to see her in person that close. John who I thought was only rhythm guitar played mainly lead and totally rocked. As a guitarist myself, I didn't realize how talented he was until seeing him play live. The new guy with the funky hair who replaced Ben seemed a little strange and didn't really face the crowd much. Seemed like he always had his back to the audience.

All in all, it was a fantastic show -- best concert I have ever seen!

LOL that other guys is Terry and he was in the band Cold. He looks SOOO bored up there playing with them. It was so awesome that they took out the seats. I had a front row ticket but I like to move around from all the idiot people screaming and talking during the music. Its just too bad they let anyone and everyone who wanted to be up from come up front. I was nice only having 50 or so people up there for Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin.

All in all it was the best show of the 3 that I saw. Setlist is the same as the other shows which gets kinda boring after a few shows, but I was there mainly to see Three Days Grace and Seether.

The concert was fabulous! I went with my mom and a friend of mine. My ears were ringing over six hours after we left. ^^ For a full review, visit my livejournal. (livejournal.com/users/bibsy)

I always visit evanescence.com to see concert dates, about a month or so can't quite remember, I saw that they had one for GA, so I asked my mom. We got luck we were third row, section 101. I thought the show was great, I didn't like the loud bass it kinda messed up everything, so I covered my ears to block it out. I was amazed, just amazed, it was great. Great job Evanescence! =)

I was at that concert. It was amazing. Amy Lee is such an amazing singer. It was the best concert I've ever been to. :D

I went to this concert and it was excellent. I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee and because of construction on I-75 north it took almost four hours to get home. Really loud, but it was worth. One thing that has made me wonder a little was how perfect Amy sounded at this concert. The other times I have seen her, her voice has not been nearly as polished, but this time it sounded just as it does on the CD. I hope she wasn't singing over a recording. Oh well, the show was awesome anyway and I had a great time.

I sat next to some really cool people, the ones who posted pics of their tickets. He told me to post a new message on the thread, so here it is.

One thing I wonder though, is why great bands like Evanescence never seem to come to Chattanooga. We have had bands like Three Doors Down, Aerosmith, and even Cher is coming, so why can't we get more like Evanescence?

It could be she just knows how to manage her voice know even more so than before because they've been touring for so long. She sound perfect at Jones beach. Definately better than the previous 2 shows I went to but not bad at any of them by any means. I don't think Amy would lyp sync unless she really had to anyways.

I was also in section 107 in the third row. The concert was great! The opening bands and expecially Evanescence. It was awesome to know Amy could play the piano, heheh.

I had a good time at the show.
I could say, being someone who has been to 2 other Eva shows, she wasn't lipsinging.
I noticed the sound guy really did hve the bass amped up a little too high.
And Terry did seem quite bored with the show.
I had a great time though, I missed Three Days Grace and BB but didn't mind.
I am not a fan, I only enjoy Sether and Evanescence.
I stuck around afterwards and was able to get see the band exciting the venue into a van.
They didn't stop to sign anything it seemed like.
I was hoping to get my 3rd signed Fallen CD :)
They looked tired after the show, they are touring like mad with little to no breaks so I understood.

Anyway out of the 3 shows I have seen it definitly didn't disappoint.

The show was excellent, I was in section 206 so I had a pretty good view of the stage. I enjoyed Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin, but Seether and Evanescence were definatley the best. I thought the band did a good job on KoRn's "Thoughtless".

Ok..I'm just a little late posting this.

We got to Hifi Buys a little late. When we got their 3 days grace was almost done. They finished up some songs, then played I hate Everything About You. Then played a few more songs, and that was it. Next was Breaking Benjamin. I didn't really see them, I saw them play So Cold and a few more songs, but that was when I was getting food and getting some Ev. merch. So I got my Ev. Summer tour shirt, got some food, then went back in and waited for Seether to come on. I sat there for about 20 minutes. Then Seether came on.

Seether is an awesome band live. They played 7-8 songs and then Broken. Amy came out wearing black pants (i'm not really sure though, I'm pretty short and I only saw her bottom half 3 or 4 times) and a red shirt. They finished up Broken and Amy said, I'll see you guys later tonight and left. Seether played a few more songs and finished up. Then Shaun said Ok, Let's hear it for Three Days Grace..Let's hear it for Breaking Benjamin, and who's ready for Evanescence??

So about 30 minutes later, I ran to the bathroom and to get a water. I was in the middle of paying the guy when I hear everyone start screaming. I knew Ev. was coming on. I threw my money down, grabbed my water and ran back to my seat. I got back just in time to hear the opening of Haunted. After Haunted, Amy had to pull her hair up. I don't blame her, my hair was up and I was sweating so much, and I wasn't under those hot stage lights. So anyways, they played a few more songs. Amy then said, OK, guy we're gonna slow things down for a bit. Then a piano came up. Amy sat down behind it and began to play Thoughtless (I think, I'm not sure I was kind of out of it that night, I was so happy to be there). Then I know she played these songs, I just don't know what order, Heart Shaped Box, My Immortal, Breathe No More, and later on (I think) Zero. Amy then got off the piano and sang a few more songs. Then she said Atlanta, thank you guys. You make this fun for us, most shows we play, people just sit there and stare at us. But you make this fun for us. We'll see you guys next year, on the the tour for the next album. you guys fucking rock! (That's probably not right ,she said something like that, but like I said before I was kind of in a fog the next few days, I was still in shock to see them live) So then it got all dark, but everyone knew there was going to be an encore. They came back and and Amy said, Do you guys want an encore or something? They played Whisper, I know and a few more songs that I can't remember. But that was the best night. Ever.
