Discuss the San Francisco concert (Warfield Theatre) here.

i am so fucking there.

who's comin' with me!?!

I'm there... It kinda sucks that it's on a Sunday. Anyone know what time it's going to be at?

Edit: It's at 8PM, Presale begins: Mon, 08/14/06 10:00 AM

I'm there... It kinda sucks that it's on a Sunday.
eh, i don't mind. i've already requested the monday off work. :p

so i plan on spending the day in frisco and having a jolly good time leading up to the concert.
:mrgreen:

I definitely want to get tickets for this :D

eh, i don't mind. i've already requested the monday off work. :p

You don't have school the next day :(

Gosh...Sunday concerts are a no go for a Mormon like me! Maybe I'll make the long treck down to L.A...

You don't have school the next day :(
i don't go to school. i work. but not on the day of october 30th.
:mrgreen:

if it werent for school and the fact im (and my parents are) am paying a crapload of money to go there, this would be the perfect weekend to visit my uncle in san francisco. i could finally go to the west coast, and see two ev shows in the process. but, sadly, school and money limits prevent that :(

and you could see me too!<3

WTF?

As soon as I leave CA, they actually have a date in my favorite city. *cries*

I'm probably going unless something terribly wrong happens. :p :D
It's so sad. I have never been to a concert before....this would be the first.

Since I live in Southern CA, for sure I'll be at the LosAngeles show the day before, but I'm considering flying up to San Fran for the 29th. I dont know if I'll be able to pull it off, but it's a definite idea/dream thing. :D

Hmm. I shall see what I can afford to do. But I'd love to get up there.

im going to try my ass off to make it.....i have to go to the l.a. one, so it'd be a driving all night sorta thing, or the next day anyways. or an early flight. and a place to stay. gah, ill try tho :/

I'm afraid I might not go though. My parents promised they would take us to a concert if they came anywhere close, and now that they are, they're saying "We'll try". I asked my dad if he can take the day off for the concert, and again he said "I'll Try" which probably means "no" since his life fricking revolves around work...They don't always live-up to what they say. I hope they mean it this time! :(
But if I do go, can anyone tell me where the best seats are or something? (If you've been there of course.)

I'm almost positive I'm going. I have to drive 3 1/2 hours to get there, but I'm willing to do anything to go. I'll probably take Monday off school too, or just be really tired for a day. Its worth it.

yeah, im pretty set in my mind about making this show, regardless of if i can find someone to make the drive from l.a. with me. i'll probably leave early sunday morning and go straight to the show.

I will totally go up there with you if I get the time off. I just need to know when we'd be coming back so I can request time accordingly.

probably monday night.
we shall take the babbsmobile *nods* omg, talk mike in to going!

you know...it'd be really awesome if i could make it to this show too, it all depends on whether or not i can get a job within this week to pay for any of the expenses. im pretty sure i could pull it off but ahh only problem is how would i get there and where would i stay to sleep or whatever lol. hmmm....

I sadly don't think I will be able to make it either! What a bust! I dont think Im even going to be in the same state at that time. Nevada maybe. BOOOOOOO..... and so close to halloween too, what a perfect show... who for sure is goin? any cali hoZ?

probably monday night.

If I don't get the time off I'll just call in sick, HAR! I'll ask Mike, but I don't know that he'd be interested. We shall see!

Oh man the drive Sunday is gonna be crazy. It will be Rockstar/Monster/Mountain Dew/Coffee time fosho. And we'll get there and people will be like "what in the hell!" and we'll be like "hahahah we are so ossum when uber-caffeinated!"

It'll rawk.

Um, I so wish I was going to this show so I could meet my california lovers =(((

I will be legal in november! One day I will make it out there to meet all of you lovely people!

You can totally make that drive in 4 hours.


If you're going like 90 the whole way. But it's worth it.

Okay, maybe 5 hours.

how can you not be there!?!?!?!! im draggin my bum up there, so you really need to be there. *nods* wtf, my waffle cones aren't good enough for you? lawls



and yeah shivercide, um, id rather not get a speeding ticket tyvm. i already got one this year, 71 in a 65, so fucked up. the drive should take about 6 hours. 4 hours is closer to over 100 the whole way.

That sucks. Well, 6 hours isn't so bad either. :)

A friend and I made it from LA to SF in about 4:15 once, and she was driving between 80 and and 90 the whole way. I added an extra hour if it's from San Diego.

But yeah, I was half joking about speeding anyway, hehe.

i know so many people who got speeding tickets making that drive, so i'd rather not risk it. i go 80 tops, but im never the fastest person on the road as a rule of thumb.

ontario to oakland on southwest $49 one way, 1 night at the opal in frisco $109.
I'm flying in on sunday around noon to oakland , if someone needs a ride i am getting a rental car and driving over to SF / 20 min ride

awesome! shall see u there!!

Cannot wait for this concert!

Edit* found the info I needed :)

Live 105 was giving away Ev and AFI tickets this morning. Nobody wanted the EV tickets. Some guy finally got them but he didn't sound too happy. So who knows maybe they've still got a bunch of free tickets!

If only the morning music co-op wasn't on so early!! I so would have called in ...grr...

aw..it looks like they took off the presale for this venue ..I wonder why they changed it last minute

Everyone should go to tommys joint on the corner of Van Ness & Geary after the show, killer food and beer, its a must every time im' in the city. It's the place where Metallica played their first gig.

try before, durring, and after!

try before, durring, and after!



oh you're so on! im hoping to get there at like, 2pm, so that leaves a good six hours before the show to get a nice lil buzz goin! LOL

Don't get too buzzed, something bad might happend ;P

Anyway, I'll be one of the first lining up to buy a ticket anyway, I'm most likely going by myself, so if you spot a guy in a Nightwish: Oceanborn sweatshirt, that'd be me.

So, as far as tickets are concerned, they'll be sold online right? are the tickets distributed by seats? like whoever gets the first tickets gets the best seat? I just canNOT be in the back. After being a fan for a long time and missing out on their Fallen tour, I just can't miss out on this one or suffer in the back.

PS - This would be my first time buying tickets like this *ever* since I usually buy them at the door and there usually aren't any seats in any metal shows I go to, so sorry if I sound like a newb, lol. If anyone could give me any tips as to how to make my ticket-buying more efficient, I'm all ears.

oh, im sure ill have some people willing to take care of my drunken self ;)

as far as buying tickets go, if you can't get them at the box office, just go to ticketmaster.com
they're going on sale this sunday at 10am...yes you have to pay the surcharges, but i don't expect it to be more than $40, well worth it IMO. I believe the first tickets to go will be GA, and if you want to be up close and personal, than that's what you want to get. You have to line up early though so you're one of the first ones in, that way you can get right on the guardrail. I'm hoping some evboard peeps will be there early and i can just cut in line with the group since i have to drive up from l.a.
i've never been to the warfield, but if it's like the wiltern than they have GA tickets on the floor, and than after those sell out they start selling off the seats. Don't quote me on that though, just a guess lol.

So you would recommend I show up at their box office (in person, instead of online)? I think this would be not only much easier, but would feel much more secure. Heck, I'd sleep overnight if I have to. I don't mean to sound like a freak but I've been anticipating this concert for TOO long, lol. Although, I wouldn't mind buying online as well, but in-person just makes it seem official like nothing could go wrong, yenno. Anyway, thanks for that. I hope I see EVBoard members there as well (eventhough I don't post as much here, hehe) so I won't be as estranged - remember, Nightwish - Oceanborn sweatshirt: me.

there's no danger in purchasing tickets online. i don't know when the box office is open at the theater, you'd have to call them, but most likely not on sunday....and i seriously doubt there will be a huge line. but if you try to purchase them on the day of the show, they will probably be sold out. seriously, best bet is to just buy them online.

oh you're so on! im hoping to get there at like, 2pm, so that leaves a good six hours before the show to get a nice lil buzz goin! LOL
mwaarrrr! it's on baby! i hope you can keep up!

*cant wait*

lmfao, before the show im not going to be doing any shots or shit like that, as i'd like to actually ENJOY ev, not be puking in the corner! but afterwards i might go a lil crazy....ofcourse i do have to drive home the next day so you might have to go easy on me ;)

At the Warfield the GA tickets are on the floor. Reserved seats are balcony. So buy a GA ticket online then get there really early if you want to be up front. It's not a big venue you so if you wait until DOS if it's not sold out the floor tickets will all be gone. However if your not fanatical about being up front the reserved seats won't be bad either. As I said, it's not a big venue.

cool, so it's pretty much the same as the wiltern. the wiltern has like, five levels of GA floor space though.

so who's gonna be good and get there at like, 8 in the morning to save my spot? LOL

nah nah, no shots. we'll just do some reebs. :]

i cant promise i'll go easy on you after the show tho. mwaha.


eh, we'll bully our way to the front. i've done it at plenty a show.

Oh, awesome. So wait, what's a GA ticket? is that some sort of Grade-A ticket? Again, sorry, I haven't attended concerts in the Warfield/Fillmore theatres so I'm not used to it.

Oh and by the way, it'll be around 40 bucks?

I think it's "General Admission" but I'm not sure...

So, where do you guys think the best spot is? Are there any seats at least kind of close to the stage?

I think it's "General Admission" but I'm not sure...

So, where do you guys think the best spot is? Are there any seats at least kind of close to the stage?Yes, GA=General Admission. GA also means no seats. Open floor seating (standing actually). Open the doors, grab your spot. Right up to the stage if your early enough. (Well they'll probably have a security barrier but you get the idea). Of course it also means you'll be standing through the entire show.

Keep in mind that soundwise, up against the stage isn't always the best spot. Best spot for sound will be by the soundboard - usually toward the back on the floor. That's where the sound engineer will be so he'll make it sound best for him. Oh, and bring earplugs. The sound engineer is probably also a little deaf!

Tickets are $27.50-35.00. Add the Ticketmaster fee and other fees they'll tack on and it'll be more like $45.

Yeah, the sound isn't all that great up front. The loud music is fun though. Sure, you might leave the venue with less hearing, but hey, as long as I get to see the band I came to see perofrm. I'll probably enjoy being in the front - should be interesting watching Amy and the band up close.

Anyway, 45$.. not bad I guess. Compared to other big-named concerts I mean.

So, last question, BART or drive? I'm asking because it's gonna be crowded, and knowing how crowded San Francisco already is on normal days, I'm a bit aprehensive since I *never* drove in SF before. Should I drive there or take the BART? I live 30-40 mns away from SF (around Berkeley-San Pablo.)

TOOL is my favorite band and 2 tickets for the theater tour cost me $168.00 and on this upcoming tour 2 tickets cost me $154.00. So 2 ticket's to evanescence for $68.50 is not bad.

..i was wondering...go to this link
http://www.gotickets.com/venues/ca/warfield.php

if u scroll down...to evanescence...why does it say 11:59 pm???
is that wen it starts???:confused:

Ok. Well...are the seats very far away from the stage? (I'd be with my parents)

Should I drive there or take the BART? I live 30-40 mns away from SF (around Berkeley-San Pablo.)It's on a sunday so traffic shouldn't really be a problem. But parking's going to add another $30 and if you're not used to driving in the city it's easy to get lost. Especially trying to find your way back to the Bay Bridge afterwards! Lot of construction down there right now.

Bart only runs until Midnight though so depends on how late you'll be partying (but if you are you probably shouldn't be driving!)

Ok. Well...are the seats very far away from the stage? (I'd be with my parents)This link has some pictures the might give you an idea if your on the floor and a seating chart. Seating chart's a little deceptive since the balconies are stacked. It makes it look like if you're on the top balcony you're way back but your not - just up high.

It only seats about 1000 so all of the seats are pretty close.

Hay Miranda, given any thought as to where we'll stay Sunday night before the trek back?

you should be able to stay at mah house. you'd probly have to sleep on a couch though. unless you miranda and me wanna sleep on my queen size. :mrgreen:

Very good points. Well, this is a hard decision. I mean, the concert will probably last till midnight, right? I guess I'm driving? *feels a sudden chill*

Very good points. Well, this is a hard decision. I mean, the concert will probably last till midnight, right?
nah. eleven at the latest.

nah. eleven at the latest.
Ohh.. very good to hear that. If not, then oh well. It should be fun bumming it out in SF until morning anyway, lol.

So, I'm thinking that I might possibly catch the BART to P-Hizzy after the show so I can holla at my parents and brother, but probably not. I think they all work on Monday anyway, and that would give me like, two seconds with them since Miranda and I would be heading back down here Monday. So I might just not even tell them I'm going to be up there. This makes me a sad Kate. :( Maybe I can convince them to come to San Francisco and have lunch with me or something, depending on what time we get there?

*gets off phone with kate*
so yeah, it would totally kick ass if ashlee could come. we should start a donation fund...the "get ashlee to san francisco so she can see her wife and husband" fund. heh.

IS IT OCTOBER YET?!?!?!?

So Amy isn't coming to my birthday party that night? :(

I was just thinking I should set up some sort of fund :p

Dice, I'll come to your birthday part-ey ;)

i will donate to the ashlee fund.

@kate. i think miranda said she wants to be here around 2:00. that would leave plenty of time for lunch with the fam!

sorry, dicey boy. amy will be with *me* on your birthday. i'll be sure let her know there's some dude across the country who says hi though. aha. :mrgreen:

yeah i talked to kate about an hour ago and told her all about it ;)

we need to set up a paypal fund for ashlee LOL.

yea that's right! but it's a special show for ME only. i'll be sure write a review and post pics!

yea that's right! but it's a special show for ME only. i'll be sure write a review and post pics!

OMG i knew it, Amy Lee is in love with Mike and is going to try to swoon him away from Ashlee and I.
you see what happens when i get no sleep?

hey guys..Im all new to this posting on the board thing..but yea...Im sooo going to this show! I can not wait! I think I wore my "Fallen" cd out!:mrgreen:

just got my ticket (and kate's too)
they come out to $46.10 per ticket for the GA ones after all the surcharges.
since i bought two, this is how it worked out:
tickets: $35 (x2)
convenience charge: 8.80 (x2)
order processing charge: 4.60 (only charged once)
total being 92.20

so it might be a bit more if you only buy one, but im not sure.
Not bad
CAN IT BE OCTOBER NOW?!?!?!

got my tickets for the floor :D all those surcharges are crazy...but i'm excited can't wait!

Just bought my tickets too.. woooo.. mine was like 106$ though.. maybe cause of the 14$ 3-day delivery charge. Shhh.. I would have done the no-charge delivery but I didn't see it until I reviewed the Shipping options again after I bought the tickets.. I felt rushed cause there was a time limit, lol. Wasted 14 bucks.. oh well.

Hi all,

I live in London and will be visiting my dad in San Fran for few weeks from end of October and so will be there for the Ev concert!! I've bought my ticket and really looking forward to it - although I don't know anyone over there who will be going so will be all alone :( (nuless my dad feels like coming along - which I doubt!!) Anyhoo, I've got a standing ticket and was wondering what time people generally start queuing????

Thanks,

Chloe

more hate than love the majority of the time :)

i swear, the surcharges are ridiculous. it was almost equal to half the price of my ticket. my surcharges were 13 dollars and the ticket was 30. that makes no sense to me. and i didnt even do anything shipping wise. i took the free option. im not spending more money if i dont have to.

I bought my tickets this morning too! 10 am sharp right when the went onsale. I hate all those stupid surcharges and "convience" fees, should be inconvience fees grrr.... I cant wait!!!!!!

i'm sure you'll find someone to hang around with. especially a lot of people here on the board. i speak from personal experience - you definitely won't end up alone by the end of the show. :]

i know exactly what you mean. the other day, i bought two tickets for inland invasion at $35 a pop or something, and it ended up being $98 TOTAL because of the service charges. can you imagine, $14 in surcharges and crap for EACH ticket? that's enough for another show ticket all together if you're seeing a smaller band. omigawd.

but anyway. WOO TICKETMASTER.

We just got our tickets too. We got five in the General Admission area... :p
Yay! I can't wait! :mrgreen: :D :mrgreen: :D

just got my ticket (and kate's too)

Ah, my hero. Hopefully I will be able to buy my LA one... :( I wish they weren't going on sale Saturday. A day or so after would be nice!

OMG!! I just came back from buying my tickets at Tower records and General Admission is already sold out!!! Thank God someone's card declined otherwise I would've been so far away from Amy Lee NOOOOOO!!!

just got back from getting my tix.

GA was already sold out so i had to get balcony seats. im on balcony 6 in the first row. 70 beans for two tix.

WTF FIFTY DOLLARS FOR A TICKET?! boo! :[


if you want a good standing spot, make sure you're there to wait in line a few hours before doors open. there will definitely be a few crazies who'll be waiting in line ALL day... they'll be the ones in front of you. but if you're by yourself (which is fine :] i go to shows by myself all da time) then you can squeeze your way through the crowd pretty easily during the opening bands. good luck! enjoy the show and ENJOY SAN FRANCISCO AND ITS HOBOS!!! :D they are the best hobos in the universe, imo.
So is anyone gonna hobo it out a long long time before the door opens? I'm not a crazy fanatic but I have been anticipating this concert for awhile (since I've missed both concerts last year and I've been wanting to see EV for sooo long) so I'll probably be sitting on the sidewalk or something a long time before the door opens. Who wants to join? :p

I've been to concerts before but never had the chance to be on the floor. Anybody got any tips for surviving the pit? :D

and oh yeah, some evboarder needs to volunteer to hold my place in line as i can't get there until about 2pm. that's what we did at the wiltern last time.....the whole evboard group just sorta hung out towards the front and than when they let us in we all just were like, oh yeah, we're at the front of the line too heheh

I've been to concerts before but never had the chance to be on the floor. Anybody got any tips for surviving the pit? :D

it's not tooooo bad. thankfully not a lot of people mosh crazylike at evshows. just enjoy the music, i guess.

Evanescence in San Francisco...ahhh *le sigh*
Sounds positively amazing.
I'd go for Thai food and then indulge in some of the best music my ears have ever heard.
You guys that live near by are so lucky.

-30-

it depends on who the opening bands are tho. when BB, TDG, and Seether opened, there was a SHIT load of moshing and crowd surfing. When Atomship and Default opened, the only thing i remember happening was two chics getting in a fight for some reason

Are people really gonna start lining up before 2 PM? If so I can probably force myself to go there early, save a few people some spots, but any more than a few I can't take the blame for. :) You guys can make a chain or something. "I'm holding this spot for a friend, and my friend's holding this spot for her friend, etc."

Was that at the San Jose one? I was up in the front/middle and I took a serious pounding/smashing/stepping on (and was kicked in the head by a crowd surfer). So much fun!

no it was the L.A. one at the wiltern.


and heck yes for jumping the balcony lol.

i don't know how early people are going to line up but im sure there will be a couple crazies who are there uber early.

i'm sure you'll find someone to hang around with. especially a lot of people here on the board. i speak from personal experience - you definitely won't end up alone by the end of the show. :]


Hey, thanks I hope I'll get chatting to few people - never been to a concert in the USA before be interesting to see how it compares to the UK!!

Oo I have spare ticket if someone wants it (dad was going to come but decided not to lol) and wants to be my friend for the evening LOL!!!

How sad do I sound???

when i went to the l.a. show in 2004, i showed up alone and was immediatly chatting it up with the evboard peeps. don't worry, you'll find us! LOL

Well count me in that "crazy" category I guess, haha. Besides, I can't imagine doing anything else for that whole day. Not sure though, but me and a friend are planning on going super early for the hell of it.

Not sad at all. There's nothing wrong with going alone. I usually go to Metal shows alone, and it's sometimes funner that way. You get to meet people, talk to strangers. Not necessarily the most common scene, but it's a fun scene nontheless. Besides, these folks (and me, if you happend to bump into me) sound like they'll welcome you willingly.

i should have mentioned that I'm also one of the crazies LOL. I'm planning on being uber early for the L.A. show

I belive this gig is SOLD OUT. this show should rock due to it's the last one on the "World Domination Tour 2006" Warm up shows before EU.
Drinks at Tommys Joint after the show Gerey/Van Ness

How can it be the last show on the "World" tour if the tour thus far is only in the US??? So far, it's the last show of the US leg, but not of a world tour....as they haven't even started a world tour, yet. 0_o

Regardless, yes, this show will most definently rock some boxers right off.

It said... it's the last on the leg before Europe. Which it is.

^
not how i read it, but k

this show should rock due to it's the last one on the "World Domination Tour 2006" Warm up shows before EU.

EU = Europe.

Is this even relevant?

I'm having a bitchy day. I want to kill some peeps.

But not you, Miranda. Because I <3 your b00bs.

my boobs are always my saviour.


and yeah, now that i read it again, i understand that he said Warm Up part. because there was no punctuation marks, I wasn't able to read it the way it was meant to be read before. meesa silleh.


btw i got home last night and my tickets had arrived. woot. see, no need to pay the extra charge for the shipping or whatever.

WDT 2006 was in refrence to the nintendo fusion tour it was called "world domination tour", it seems like that was about ten years ago....the shows comming up are going to ROCK!!!!I cant wait until the arena shows come up early next year......lots of amps and watts

um, except he was talking about this tour, not the one in 2003/2004, so, it wasn't in reference to that.
or maybe it was and I can't make sense of anything atm.

Uh, Miranda, the one whose statement you're refuting is the one we were quoting and talking about in the first place. I think he knows what he was saying better than either of us, lol.

well slap me with a dumb ass stick.

im telling you, it's all these pain meds i've been taking. they make me loopy!

So uh.. it seems like everyone's listened to the CD already.. have any of you?

..cause I sure as hell haven't, lol.

I'm so mad! I want to go so baddd. But I'm so broke. Are tickets really sold out for this?? I know you can still get them on websites like tickettriangle, but they cost like 90-200 dollars per ticket there. I can't spend that much lol.

EDIT: My bad, they cost 95-260. Ughhhhhh.

Anybody know of anyone that has already bought a ticket but can't go anymore? My dad needs a ticket, and we really don't want to spend that much on eBay. Thanks!

i going to the concert but i have school the next day but that is not the crazy part i freaking waited on warfield.com five minutes before and once it opened i clicked on it so fast but i still took for ever because hell of people had the same idea!!! but i wouldnt miss it for the world im going to even bring my black goth coat that has a built in corset!!!!!!:mrgreen: i cant wait 29 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :mrgreen: ;) :) :cool: :rolleyes: :p :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

so who's gonna get there early and save me a place in line?? :p

my plane lands at 1pm should be there around 3ish anybody going earlier?

im planning to leave l.a. by 8 at the latest (if we can manage to drag ourselves out of bed) so I'm hoping to be there by about 2, but I've never made the drive so I don't know how long it will take.

allow for 6 1/2 hours and if its raining add 2 on the I-5

im sure it will fly by very quickly with kate to entertain me. i expect for many a random conversation about boobs and ...well...more boobs.

who's all going to this show????

who's all going to this show????

i sure as shit am!

I am :D 10?20?

who's all going to this show????

I sure as hell wouldn't miss it. I'm actually getting there around 3 'cause that's supposedly when you can "hang out" with the band, according to the DJ on our local rock station.

which dj on what station?

which dj on what station?

I don't know what dj it was but it was channel 105.3.

Yes, the ever reliable Live 105...

Who's excited for tomorrow? *girly squeel* :rolleyes:

Hope everyone has fun tonight!

Hey guys no one has posted a report about the show, so here I go. I'm only going to give an over view and leave the set list to the OCD out there, you know who you are!

First up was the late entry. Who's the dork that didn't open the doors on time! We were at the back of the line rapped around the block but the line moved us into inside fairly quickly. I'm just glad it didn't rain like it was forecast to earlier in the week. BGP/Clear Channel/Live Nation needs to get it shit together (more on the corporate dweebs later)

We found our seats near the back as my wife need to be able to sit due to a chronic illness. The Warfield is great for that! Thumbs up for not pulling all the tables out in order to sell more seats!

Chaos Theory was good. They have several songs that are balanced and would make great radio play in other (non-bay area) rock markets. Having grown up in Denver and been in a struggling band I know they have a good non "sceenester" or "new metal" radio sound! I really got in to mood to hear Evanescence based on what these four guys were doing! I really enjoyed their music and will look into following them.
Truly professionals they had lots of energy after having been in Az two nights before, LA on Saturday, and SF Sunday. Freaking awesome as far as I am concerned! Not may modern acts will do three nights in a row let alone three nights and 800+ miles of road travel.

/me soap box

And then I was aggressively confronted by a greasy haired, smelly, corporate photo Nazi. This photo weasel combed the crowed inserting himself into any pack in order to stop people form taking or forcing them to delete pictures on their cell phones. He clearly had not bathed in several days and did not ask if, but demanded deletion. I was told to delete all the photos on my cell phone. I was then forced to show him on the spot that I had either deleted said photo's or that I had none from the concert. If he had simply asked I would have gladly told/ showed what was up with my phone usage. I was then told that, if I did not comply I "would have a problem." I was then ordered to "keep my cell phone in my pocket and not to remove it or" the same threat "I would have a problem." While I feel the artists have a right to protect them selves, this was clearly some schmuck hired by the record company/management in order to harass the crowd. I was thoroughly disgusted by his individual tactics. There was no way of stopping or preventing all picture from being taken but he insisted in assuming everyone in the crowd who lifted their cell phone was "taking a picture." I was merely trying to turn my light on the back of my phone in order to show the band that there were people in the back who were digging the show. If had had a lighter, glow stick or flashlight I would have used it. All I had on me was my phone.

Be for warned of the new photo's Nazi's they'll be preceded by a terrible smell.

soap box me/

Fortunately, I was not trying to take pictures and when Evanescence came out I was still primed for the show! With a BOOM the show opened and roared into the next song with only a short gap. Three songs in we heard from Amy, she tells us how happy she is that we all showed up even though it had been "years." Even though they only did a two set, that being two sets of rocking full band songs with a solo piano buffer, the show was still over an hour long. They had far less down time between songs and clearly were having fun between the piano moves with short burst of Ozzy Ozborn, Black Sabath and Deep Purple song fragments. This prompted a response from Amy of "you’re scaring them guys." That was funny! They played loose and smooth as though they had been playing in the years of off time. Good music and friendly fun! Though they weren't stiff in Jan 04 they were clearly still dealing with Ben's departure. This show was way more of the older fun group! I'm glad they were having so much fun given they had been on the road for the days straight!


On the technical side I was less then impressed with the over processing and bad pitch correcting on Amy’s voice. It seemed to come and go too. I'm not sure if she changed microphones or they eventually sorted things out at the mixer but things definitely changed at about the 4 song mark. The first song her voice was in perfect pitch and then the next couple of songs things got weird. After the fourth song it seemed to go away and stay in the back ground the rest of the night.

As for the guitars the boys played they're harts out! But there were some technically strange anomalies. Both guys seemed to have a couple of songs that appeared to take their focus away from their performance in favor of some technical things they had to do at their feet. Terry faded in and out a couple of times, and frankly didn't play the last four notes of a solo. I understand it's not his solo, but he went that far why not finish? I am being very picky here so feel free to bash me for my overly picky observations. They're just my personal thoughts.

To bring this back to the positive side the over all package of the show was very solid! They completely blew me away with the lights and the sound quality, seeing as this was the third show in as many nights across 800+ miles of road! Having personally preformed three shows in three nights across only 400 miles I can tell you that I needed to be scraped off the stage at the end of the night. I'm floored with the show and both bands energy level! True pros and clearly they enjoyed our response to their return and new material. Amy commented on at least twice. She was happy to see us "rocking out to the new stuff." That translated directly into the audiences’ reaction to every song. Everyone was solidly high energy all night. No crescendo to a peak with a drop just steady all night! Good show for the performers and audience!

^ I feel you...

I only have 10 mins, but i'll post what I can now. Oh.My.God. It was amazing, minus the Nazis (we labeled them that, too) who took my friends purse and almost took my phone (it doesn't even have a camara) w/e... We got their kinda late, but we still saw RT, who were awesome. After their set, they were selling CDs and I bought one. I also bought the blue shirt. it's pretty. :P
Ev was amazing. I can't really describe it. Setlist (i'm pretty sure)...

SS
WotW
GU
The Only One
Haunted
Whisper
Lithium
Good Enough (with Narnia intro!!)
Sober
Imaginary

MI
ATILF

It was short, but sweet. Amy lets us sing during MI, but we weren't that loud. Damn you stoners (their were a lot, apparently...) Anyway, story time...

So we were in the back, and my friend wanted to get pictures, so she went up into the front, but they caught her and took her purse and camara, but she pulled out the memory chip before they get it. After the show, we went out the back dooor (everyone was), and Richie was infront of the HUGE bus, so we asked if we could get a picture. Well, when pulling the memory card out, she bent it... after 5 mins of trying to get it to go in, Richie says "Here, you can have it" ...a 1 GB Memory Chip that he had confiscated from someone... SCORE! So we took a pic with him, and had to leave *sad* but on the way back to the car, we were looking at the pics and... SCORE! Someone with Tim, and a couple of Tim randomly... a few or RT, and some awesome Pics of Amy... Like I said, score... That was deffinetly the best part of the night besides Ev. Richie was so sweet.

I g2g now, but I'll post my other Nazi story later... grr at camara/phone Nazis!!! sorry for typos!

p.s... meastro, where exactly were you sitting?

Since no one else has posted... I'll edit this

Well, we got off to a really late start, and left Oakland about 5:45. Traffic wasn't too bad, but still... We were going to go to Chevy's, but ended going to Blondies Pizza because of time. We just found a parking spot not too far from the venue and ate in the car. We finally got in line which was still around the block. We got inside and got our seats. We had reserved seating downstairs, but only had two passes, so we had to switch off going outside and getting stuff. During/after RT, me and my friend Elyse got the blur Ev/Amy shirt, and my other friend Jill got the buttons. Stuff was really expensive :p

It wasn't long before Ev came on, and it was pretty awesome. I can't say much more.

Personal Nazi experience - While we were in the merch line, I called my aunt and uncle and asked what song they wanted to hear (bmtl or mi). She said MI, but when bmtl came on, I decided to call anyway. Well, I had my shirt on the table, and my friends were trying to cover the phone up, and I didn't realize why... One of the Nazi's were coming over. He came, and was like, "You better delete those pictures, turn that phone off and put it away!" It's not a camera phone, and I said that, but he walked away. I turned it off, but didn't put it away. He came back again and was like, "PUT IT AWAY!" I did, but I still called during MI, but was scare, because E's camara/purse had gotten taken earlier. It's whatever. After was awesome, and Ritchie giving us that memory card with some awesome pics on it made up for it all. We got home at 11, and finally to sleep at 12ish. My neck is killing and my throat hurts bad, but it was all worth it.

Sorry for the choppiness, but I just kinda typed. Yeah... Sorry I didn't get to meet anyone, but it was still fun. BTW, I left my nametag at home, so I made a ghetto one in the car after we ate. :P Hope everyone else had an awesome time!

P.P.S. Post Concert Depression sucks big time.
P.P.P.S. If you, or someone you know got their memory stick confiscated by Ritchie, sorry, but my friend Elyse has it now. :D
P.S.x4 Does anyone have an iRiver and know how to get a voice recording off of it and on the computer? ...cause I recorded the show *ninja*

Liz and I were center stage at the set of tables not reserved (or walled off). If you walked in from the merch booth nearest the stairs to the basement/restrooms we would have been on the left about half way between the isles. I was wearing a brown leather jacket black dress shirt, silky blood red tie and black jeans. Liz was wearing a black fitted brocade top and blue jeans. We were with another older couple, people we didn't know.

We came with Allisathecat and her friend. We all really enjoyed the show, aside from the smelly nazi.:confused:

the show was bad fuckin' ass. <---best review ever.

yeah that about sums it up right there.

it was so freaking cold waiting outside though.
