Essentially a live showcase for their mega-selling breakthrough Fallen, this CD/DVD combo set chronicles Evanescence in peak form during a subsequent tour stop in Paris. The performances here lean early on the crunch of guitarists John Lecompt and Terry Balsamo (reaching a peak on the the band's potent cover of Korn's "Thoughtless"), but ultimately revolve around the melodramatic, goth-rooted vocal charisma of singer Amy Lee. It's on stripped-down, yet still larger-than-life takes of "Bring Me to Life" and "My Immortal," as well as the shadowy grace of "Breathe No More," that Lee stakes her claim to the alt.diva throne. Taken as a whole, the forceful renditions here argue that this live recording was hardly premature, instead well documenting the band's more direct musical tack and considerable live chops. The CD contains the appropriately named, previously unreleased studio track "Missing," while the DVD supplements its crisply shot and edited concert performances with four videos and an hour of documentary footage and interviews. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Evanescence's "Anywhere But Home", captures one night of the magic as cameras entered The Zenith in Paris to capture the phenomenon. The two-disc DVD/CD features Evanescence's sold-out European tour and is offered in both 5.1 and two-track audio mixes. In addition to the live concert DVD, which was directed by Hamish Hamilton (U2, Peter Gabriel), "Anywhere But Home" also includes a CD of the concert presented in a two-track mix, and the previously unreleased studio recording of the composition "Missing." The DVD features the band's four music videos, an hour-long behind-the-scenes program, and some special surprises in addition to the concert film. The special surprises will be discovered by the viewer as they navigate the menus designed exclusively for this special release.

Customer Reviews:

Three songs not on "Fallen" (or "The Open Door").......2007-07-16

Top-notch for a live album, not intoxicated and the sound quality is pretty good. Three songs not on "Fallen"! "Thoughtless" is as good as any single "Fallen" track, and the live concert footage on the DVD actually excited jaded 40-something me. Plus VH1/MTV videos, which some of us have never outgrown.

My highest recommendation is to buy all three Evanescence albums to date.

A great set for an Evanescence fan!.......2007-06-19

What's better than having a live Evanescence concert on CD? Having a DVD to go along with it! This set is sure to please any Evanescence fan.

So what's to like about this CD/DVD set? Let's start off with the CD first. The setlist is the same as any concert during this tour. I personally saw the band perform these songs when they did a show in Florida. It's great to hear the same songs you know and love sung differently. Most of the songs on the band's first album, Fallen, are on here except for "Hello". The two other songs that you may not recognize are "Breathe No More" (a ballad) and "Farther Away" (a harder song complete with an awesome drum and guitar-heavy intro). Both are songs that were written before the band's first album. You also have a cover of Korn's "Thoughtless" (which I personally think is better than the original) as well as "Missing", a track that was recorded pre-Fallen. "Missing" is a beautiful song presumably about suicide. No songs from the band's second album, the Open Door, are on this disc as this was recorded before that album was released.

Now let's move on to the DVD. The DVD contains the live performances of each of the songs included on the CD. It's great to see an entire Evanescence concert with your own eyes (especially for those people who haven't had the chance to watch a live Evanescence show). Highlights include the audience singing the chorus of "My Immortal" and the intro to "Haunted". You then have all four music videos for the singles that were released from Fallen, "Bring Me to Life", "Going Under", "My Immortal", and "Everybody's Fool".

The best part of the DVD is the bonus footage. Highlights include bloopers (on stage as well as press stuff), pranks (mostly from the band's last concert from this tour), and a ton of behind the scenes footage (on the tour bus as well as pre-show stuff).

Now onto the negatives. As for the cd, Amy's voice could be better. There are some pitchy spots that make me cringe but that is expected as most of the band's songs consist of Amy holding out notes and singing in full voice. Other than that, I have no problems with the cd. As for the dvd, the quality of the actual concert is iffy. There's a lot of special effects that take away from the show and way too many shots of the audience.

If you're a big Evanescence fan (or even a casual one), pick up this set. The behind the scenes stuff is worth the cost alone.

CD/DVD Combos.......2007-06-05

I wasn't sure how many stars to give this. I do give the live performance on the CD five stars. But the DVD performance of the setlist was horrible. I couldn't even finish it. The cuts annoyed me horribly and I could only get through one song. I don't what it is, but do the people today have that short attention span. I know for myself I can watch a band for about 2 hours. I'm 21 years old and I couldn't keep up with the cuts that the director decided to use.

Anyway, I suggest just getting the CD of this combo off of a friend or iTunes. Amy Lee has an excellent voice live and has energy. I love this band and I can't wait to see them on the Family Values Tour this summer. At least I don't have to deal with the horrible editing.

enlightening.......2007-06-03

I really enjoy this purchase, but I'm a fan too. I enjoyed the music videos, the concert footage, the music, the singing, and the behind the scenes look at their life on the road. I really think this is worth having in your collection, if you like Evanescence.Anywhere But Home (w/ bonus DVD)

Great DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-14

The best music, I love the video that with bonus DVD and also Evanescense's album :)

Customer Reviews:

I love this cd! ^.^.......2005-08-13

It's a really GOOD cd IMO. I've heard a few songs by Evanesence before I heard it, like "Bring Me To Life", "My Immortal", "Taking Over Me", & "Haunted". I wanted to hear more then just those 4 songs. My sister showed the cd to me and I couldn't stop listining to it after that.
