The first ten minutes or so is the band having instrument/electrical issues with their sound. And after that, it cleans up good. But there is no bass player or drum player (I've heard they didn't show up but don't know if that is true) and the only two members I can see that were with the band when they hit it big a few years later are Ben Moody and Amy Lee. And Ben Moody left the band, after making it big, in 2004.
It's also pretty cool to see Amy Lee with another female backup singer through the whole hour long show. They play songs that made them famous a few years later as well as songs from their (never released but I have it) "Origins" CD that they'd give out for free after gigs. The also play a B.O.C. cover tunes too. This is a rare and cool video!

Now remember, the songs in this show are not individually tracked on this DVD. The piece of junk Roxio (NEVER BUY ROXIO SOFTWARE...IT IS FAULTY AND THEIR SUPPORT IS A JOKE) DVD building program I used to create this DVD years ago would not let me create chapters where I wanted them and kept crashing as I tried building a menu. The option to create chapters where I wanted them was grayed out and I could never get any help or fixes from Roxio. This is the second version of their software I've tried on a variety of PC's that was worthless (and about $200) and problem causing.
I've only seen this video one other time on a site last year. I downloaded it and the quality was not as good as this video's quality. There was a text file in that download that stated this is the earliest known video recording of Evanescence. It also gave the names of most of the artists playing in this small venue show. That is where I got the names listed above.
The band has changed members a few times through the years. And as one might expect, it was due to disagreements, fighting, and that sort of stupid stuff. But Amy Lee and her awesome voice has remained in Evanescence, and without her, the band would not be able to continue. The problem with that is, I'm pretty sure she knows this! Therefore; she's the queen bee in the hive and most likely gets her way since she is also the founding member still in the band. But this hasn't been bad for the fans because they're still making excellent music, touring, and doing very well.
I hope you enjoy this "before they were stars" show...
