The Worlds Collide tour hit Birmingham last night and, hoo boy, what a night it was.
The electricity and hype in the air was something special and all three bands crushed it.
VERIDIA were a real surprise. Fun, hard hitting and overall just happy to be there, opening for bands that clearly meant a lot to them. Also, having Amy Lee come on stage got the crowd well worked up. Would love to see them again
Evanescence put on an absolute clinic. Amy's voice hit the rafters and then some. There were some minor technical issues through the middle portion of the set, but it didn't slow them down. And it was fixed for the climactic finish of My Immortal and Bring Me To Life. I feel I'm not alone in saying that I was worth the 19 year wait to finally hear them live!
Finally, Within Temptation. What can I even say about them at this point. One of my all time favourites and they shined on stage this night. Sharon's vocals still sound so pristine and the band knew the job and executed it perfectly. The stage show was immense with pyro, stage effects and just the band presence.
Three years waiting for this show. It was well worth it.
