Last night [livejournal.com profile] suraimu and I drove down to Louisville to see Evanescence perform in concert.

I was a hottie ^_^




Finger Eleven and Chevelle were the opening acts. I'd never heard of those bands by name, but I ended up recognizing two of the songs that Chevelle played. They were both all right. I was impatient for EVANESCENCE!


I managed to sneak my camera into the hall, even though they were confiscating cameras right and left. And now I present to you

Penny's Guide to Sneaking Cameras Into Places That Don't Allow Cameras
Disclaimer: This is what has always worked for me. Don't blame me if it doesn't work for you and you get your camera taken.

Tip 1: This really only applies if you're female and carrying the camera in your purse. Be sure to bring a few tampons or pads with you, even if you don't need them. Put them right on the top of the stuff in your purse. If there's a male guard and a female guard searching purses, choose the male guard.

Tip 2: Choose your guard carefully. There's always one doing the job well and one that doesn't give a shit. Be sure to choose the one who's not searching too carefully.

Tip 3: Camera? What camera? Be sure to walk right up to the guard, open your purse wide, and practically shove the contents in their face. Brazen-ness is key here. The more you act like "There is totally no camera in here, wanna see?" the more they don't even bother to glance inside.

So, anyway, I got my camera inside ^_^

OMG AMY LEE IS PROBABLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON ON THE PLANET. I'm sorry, she just is. She was fantastic, what I could see of her. There were a lot of tall people in front of me at first. She ROCKED. IT. OUT.



Sweet Sacrifice
Weight of the World
Going Under
The Only One
Lithium
Good Enough
Haunted
Tourniquet
Call Me When You're Sober
Imaginary
Bring Me to Life
Whisper
Open Door
Lacrymosa

Encore:
My Immortal
Your Star


I took videos of "Lithium," "Tourniquet," and "My Immortal" but the audio was too terrible on the first too. Which is a DAMNED SHAME because the video quality is beautiful on "Tourniquet."
So you just get "My Immortal":




Overall it was a great show, but way too short. Worst part of the evening: Louisville concert-goers are assholes. Best part (besides the show): free downtown parking.

Rob drove home because I had to work on homework and sleep. He likes to drive



We got home around 1:30am, I showered (smoking in public venues is alive and well in Kentucky) and I was in bed by 2am. So I got 4 hours of sleep. I am DED TIRED. But happy.

Thanks ^_^

Oooo. Thanks for the vid! I was irritated by people making little devil horns in front of you. It doesn't even make sense with a song that slow...unless you're doing it for satire, but by the numbers I'd say that it wasn't satire.

Yeah...the crowd was crazy inappropriate. There was one point when Amy was at the piano and she said, "Seriously, stop whistling," and people just starting whistling more. They were terrible.

A. You look AMAZING. Seriously. Do you ever look at earlier and recent pictures of yourself to compare? You look amazing.

B. I love Amy Lee's voice, I love her first CD (which name I don't remember O:-)), but I wish she'd stop whoring her voice out to Seether and especially Korn. She's so much better than Korn!

[identity profile] malanai.livejournal.com 2007-03-30 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
A. Pretty much all day long ^_~ LOL!

B. The first CD was Origin. I was wishing they'd play something from that album! Yeah, she is DEFINITELY much better than Korn. Her voice is just...amazing. OMG. She has got some pipes.
