Concert Review

I went to see Evanescence last evening along with Chevelle and Finger Eleven. Overall, a very good show; cameras were not allowed(sniff sniff), so plenty of mental pictures were taken. I should have dressed up for this one.

Finger Eleven- my favourite out of them all...going in. I've seen these Canadians before, about ten years ago at the Silo...awesome show. Their stage presence was very well taken; slinging guitars and a drummer who's VERY animated...if you paid enough attention. Played some old stuff (very good) and some newer material..eh, not as good, too much like Nickelback, lyrically. They are a good band to see in a small place like the Silo; presence and sound gets lost in the cavernous Sovereign Center. Highlight was a much improved version of One Thing; I got new understanding of the song (most likely the ONLY song most kids know from them)

Chevelle-the band that I thought had the most recognizable stuff. Yeah, I like them...a new album came out today...and they really work hard...considering they are a three piece. New song Well Enough Alone sounds good. Much like their studio work....lots of bass and screaming (hard to do live every night)

Evanescence-
Why.... hello Ms. Amy Lee. Yeah, she can sing, and play the piano and that's really all I would've needed. But, in case you didn't know, she does have a band, and they compliment were very well. Lighting and stage setting was good, it was snowing at one point...great mood-setter. Encore was My Immortal...mmmm.
