They stole the day last night. Why did they not headline? Amy's vocal performance & stage presence truly were in a league of their own. Just her voice alone Carrys the crowd, the drummer has John Bonhams energy. Thanks for uploading solid recording 🤘
Thank you for sharing, I was taken ill during this performance and ended up leaving download as a result so didn't get to see past the first two songs.
Man, gigs like this that take place in daylight just don't hit right, do they? Saying that, Amy and the band sound great and should have been headliners!
it's midsummer in England, the sun doesn't set until 21:30. The size of the crowd for 2nd Stage, they could have easily supported on Main Stage imo, hell probably could pull off a headline set! I've never seen 2nd stage so full before.
Saw them the other time they were at Download, right after Amy's boyfriend 'left'! They were incredible on that day! They have definitely still got it!
Thank you for this video 😁 my favourite band! Still dont understand why the didnt make the main stage, when they did back in 2007, when they opened for Iron Maiden 🤔
Epica, Within Temptation and then Evanesence … what an afternoon. But I agree Evanesence should have been main stage. Bring me The Horizon we’re awesome as well and it was great to see Amy Lee guest with them for a number…
I really wanted to see them. But by the time we got to the second stage it was way too rammed…. Oh well, next time. I mean - hardly anyone was paying attention to the main stage for this. Organizers messed this billing up.
Exact reason i regrettably missed Parkway Drive on Sunday night. I new there was no way i would get anywhere near a descent view of Ghost unless i got in there for Bad Religion! Most years it’s not To much of an issue but being this crowded it was a mission getting around later in the day!
completely disagree, there was 100,000+ there what did you expect?. Myself and my buddy got a great view near the video/sound booth literally 10 mins before they came on. The main stage is the main stage for a reason. Evanescence were absolutely brilliant and Amy did an amazing job as per usual.
@@neilmartin1335 Yeah, we had to skip Evanescence as there were too many people, ended up sitting at access platform on main stage for a while listening to the ads for ages
Brilliant to see they're still going strong and Amy sounds as fabulous as ever. Probably needs a better PA setup or something to really let them shine, but still a great performance overall.
I love Metallica but them headlining twice was absurd, it just takes away opportunity from others. One headline date for Metallica would've been just as good.
the whole point of doing 4 days this year was to have Metallica headline twice, seeing how they are doing that throughout their entire tour. Pretty sure Metallica wouldn't agree to come to play Download if they would be only offered one headline spot, and then we would've got classic 3 days rather than 4. Besides, with all due respect to Evanescence, are they big enough to headline main stage on a 100k/day festival? Doubt it. They're big, but not that big. Headline slot on the 2nd stage, maybe subbing main, but not headlining main.
@@michalkoszela No one is saying Ev is anywhere near as big as Metallica or comparing them, just that they have the recognition and popularity to headline another time. But what is the point of a band headlining twice in a festival? I don't agree with any band, Metallica or not, being given two headline days.
@@carpediemearth like I said - it probably was the case either 2 slots for Metallica or none. And it looks like Andy Copping has set his mind on booking Metallica for the 20th edition - which is fair enough, it doesn't get bigger than Metallica for rock/metal festivals. Now, would I prefer 4 different headliners? Yes. Do I have a problem with Metallica doing 2 days with 2 completely different setlists? Hell no.
Hello Neil, so I have a request for you, I see you did a great job, is there any chance you could send me the full version of the recording from this concert? please
10+ years later since I saw Evanescence live and Amy Lee still sounds album perfect live, wow her voice is always amazing 😍
They should have been main stage!
Agreed!!👊
the first stagecoach out of town
@@neilmartin1335
Yea
No doubt!
Damn right they should've headlined that night without a doubt. Was fucking ace though!
100% was right near the front was brilliant
Awww those pretty clouds of Dustload 23, the best times, with better people.
Amy Lee is the queen of rock never tire of listening to them or seeing them , songs so relevant and brilliant
Love Evanescence they are next level!! Amy Lee is the queen of rock 🤘🤘🤘🤘😀
That voice still there! Really enjoyed this thanks
The drummer is awesome!
Holy shit I can feel the energy through the screen!
That dress is mad cool aswell!
Great show! The bass player ROCKS‼️🤟
Thought they were main stage..certainly should have been..thanks very much for posting such a pro vid so quickly. 10/10
Never seen a crowd so large for a tiny stage, Must have been 25/30k people there
, Mental💀
It was a disaster, couldn't walk anywhere near. Access platforms were blocked and chaos, Download really let themselves down this year.

No one parallels bonham
Deserved to be on main stage. I saw them in The 02 with Within Temptation and they were amazing. She sound's incredible here. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Yes they do and went home deaf that night as well
Wow she’s sounding amazing
They rock!
Thanks for putting up what you have. Amy still has it. Seeing them in September that’s 3x times since 22.
We couldn’t get anyway near them. The second stage was far too small for bands like this. Should have been main stage
I love how the crowd sing the male parts of Bring Me To Life.
Thanks for uploading! They were incredible and should be on main stage
Thanks so much for the upload! 😁
Evanescence it's just another level. They're the best and most relevant female-fronted band out there.
I do love Jinjer and am also super stoked Kittie are back. But Amy slays
You should check out Epica, Nightwish and Within Temptation 😉 But I love Evanescence too.
Halestorm !
Nightwish !
@@Joshivr I listen to all of them as well.
@@Joshivr heart the best
I was there, it was very amazing to see Evanescence at this years Download Festival 🥁🎤🎸🤘🤘
How many songs did they sing? Like how much time took their performance on stage?
Sorry for the late comment, By the way they sang 15 songs and performed for over an hour.
My god. Amy is like some sort of deity in that black and red gown. ❤
Thank you for sharing, I was taken ill during this performance and ended up leaving download as a result so didn't get to see past the first two songs.
Hope you are ok!👊
They sound amazing! Wish I was there! 😢
She sounds phenomenal ✊
Emma is looking really comfortable now.
There would be no Evanescence without Amy's voice, lyrics, and keyboards.
Evanescence at download Festival looks amazing they are champions of the rock / metal music 🥁🥁🥁🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🍺🍺🍺🍺🤘🏻🤘🏻
Amazing!
Man, gigs like this that take place in daylight just don't hit right, do they?
Saying that, Amy and the band sound great and should have been headliners!
Yeah, not a very controlled environment outside but judging by the size of the crowd and Amy’s beaming face everyone was happy I know i was!!👊

So good ❤

they were very tight here. sound great.
Just epic 🤟🏻
wow she sounds great!
Thank you for this video 😁 my favourite band!
Still dont understand why the didnt make the main stage, when they did back in 2007, when they opened for Iron Maiden 🤔
They all looked like they enjoyed that. Great set.

Second stage that day was insane! loved every second of it!
Excelente baterista
The bass player was really going for it.
.
Thats just the sound engineer! LOL! I Love that they dont have any pretend 4x12 cabs etc... anymore!
Why they no on the main stage
they were just touring with Temptation, maybe some agreement that they'd run Support/Headline on 2nd stage. Crowd was immense though!
how many songs are they singing in festivals? This is the 2nd time in my life that I will to see evanescence
mi amor, mi reynaaaaaa😍🤩
Cantas como los ángeles y eres bellísima ❤❤❤❤❤❤

They should totally have been on Apex

Wasn't anything wrong with the PA, it just overloaded the camera mic. Was the 1st time I'd seen Evanescence, wasn't disappointed..
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the upload… did you manage to record the whole thing !?
No mate, that was it!👍
I must have had too much to drink but I stayed at the Opus stage all day and I thought Simone Simons sounded the best out of all of them
I think Simone and Sharon are the sharpest singers. Amy is great in studio but is rough live sometimes
Having these headline either Thursday or Saturday, replacing one of Metallicas spots would of been perfect
You know what i agree but then I wouldn’t have seen them

They could headline donington easy
Could you please upload the whole concert?
I’m sorry, that’s all i have. I don’t want to look at a phone the whole gig, I’m there to sing along and enjoy the show, and I did!!👊
Shame the sound was sooo bad at the arena
Don't know if it was exactly where the camera was positioned, but those bass frequencies are overpowering her vocals so much
@@MaxskiSynths i mean the camera is right infront of a massive line of subs ...
I went to see Metallica, these were better they were tight
Shes filled out a lot last few years
That happens when people get older
And? Does that have any added benefit to the convo? They were incredible, and it's so good to see her performing how she wants to.
Whoever was on the mixing desk didn't know what they were doing that snair is much to loud.
As roupas da amy Lee parecem de mendiga credo
Sorry to say but all download seems to be a bit disapoinmet so far
Perhaps you don't like rock music? 🤷
🤷♂️ I’m loving it!!!
@@johnross2924 😂👍
At times her voice is ok but other times she whines but music is great
