Beautifully Chaotic

OMG, It was just so amazing!!! :§tongue: ***WARNING: Long post with pictures!***
I arrived at noon to the venue, and it was hot as hell - there wasn't a single person yesterday that didn't have sun burns after standing in the sun for so many hours, and it was so hot that too many people in the crowd faint and had to be taken out, because of the heat and the crowd pushing constantly instead of remembering that some people (like myself) were on the baricades. But that was much, much later when the show started.
So Evanescence arrived around 4pm to the venue (I was the only one that figured the big, black, cool bus is theirs while everybody outside were busy dying of heat) and later we all heard them at the soundcheck. They did WOTW (instrumental, or that we didn't hear Amy at all for the first time) twice at the s/c (the 2nd time we heard her loud and clear) and Your Star (She sang it so beautifully at the s/c, and it was such a disappointment that it was meant to be at the setlist of the show but it was the last song and she completely lost her voice by then), and everybody rocked out or tried to climb the fence outside. When they finised Amy said to the mic' "Thats all you're gonna get for free, bitches" LOL
After going around in circles for almost and hour we found out contact person and got our passes and not long after we were inside, ready to meet Evanescence! We were given instructions (Ev' will come out, sign our stuff and chat and than each will be given a chance to take a picture with them) and waited so, so unpatiantlly :)
All of a sudden, we see a big, huge bodyguard (not Richie, it was Herman) and a tiny, beautiful porceline doll named Amy, and after her there were Will, Tim, Troy and Terry!!! We were screaming out of excitment and they all waved at us and smiled, or gave us devil horns right back at us for doing the same. Amy looked beautiful!

We were standing in line so they all approched us each personally and I was pretty much near the end of the line so finally Amy came to me (I was so cool, I can't believe how chilled I was - It was like meeting a sister)!!!
Her bodyguard held my EvClub Tshirt for her so she could sign it, and I gave her both Fallen and ToD to sign and she asked me talked to me for a bit, she is so sweet and humble, and very down to earth. I asked her what does she think of the weather and she said it was so, so hotter in Greece and looked and my sun burns and smiled... I told her I love her and welcomed her to Israel and told her about the Berlin concerts I went to in November, and I congratulated her on her marriage and she thanked me a million times and more while I thanked her for meeting with us and she smiled more and more - You can totally see she's happy meeting fans around the world. I also gave her my letter and asked her to read it and she promised she will, and told her I was planning on making them all spider legged cupcake plushies and she laughed and said it was sweet and that it doesn't matter I didn't have time - so I said to her I would make them anyway and send it to Andrew, her manager so he will send it to them and she said it's a brilliant idea! :cool:
Then Will came to me and he is really, really beautiful! I welcomed him to Evanescence and said he is the best addition to the band and he thanked me, I told him he is really handsome in person and he thanked me again and called me "The most dedicated and devoted fan" he met, signed my CD's and talked to me a little more and then moved on. Tim came to me next and I was really, really excited. He is just so dreamy... I asked him how he was and we talked a lot, really - he even raised his eyebrow especially for me! Hehe. I also asked him if the nickname Chaotica rings a bell and he was like "Eh, I'm not sure", So I told him about AzTechDude and everybody who said "Hi" from me to him from EvClub and then he was "OMG! Chaotica from EvClub, yeah I remember that! How are you???" like a little fan girl, and smiled at me and was so kind to me. We all gave him a Pikatchu doll as well. Next it was Terry, since Troy pretty much passed me because I talked to Tim a lot. Terry is pretty shy and very easy going... He asked me how I am doing and we talked a bit as he singed my stuff, and I asked if I could touch his dreads - yeah, I really did - and he gave me a couple and I touched them. He laughed and I laughed a lot! Now Troy came and he was "Don't you want to meet me?" and I was "Ofcourse I do! But you kept walking!" And gave him my CD's to sign and welcomed him to Israel and to Evanescence and asked him how he feels in Evanescence and he said it's a great pleasure and that he loves it very much.
All of a sudden, I spot a red head guy looking at the Meet & Greet. It was Josh, Amy's husband. So I told everybody to look and we screamed "Josh! Josh!!!" and he waved at us and gave us devil horns back, and we screamed (well, I did - I'm rude) "You take good care of our girl Amy!" and he smiled and nod, while Amy looked at me and smiled as well and said "Oh he's ok, he's ok" and I talked to her about him and you can see she is very much in love with him. I am so, so happy for her.
By now the Meet & Greet was over and we waited to get our pictures taken. I was on line and everybody used my camera to take the pictures. Our "photographer" was Herman, the bodyguard. He is really sweet and he treated us nicey later, at the concert itself) - My picture turned out not too good because we were talking and all of a sudden, I had my picture taken - but I have the proof that I met them so it doesn't matter too much. Amy hugged me, and so did Tim :)

My picture sucks :(
Suddenly it was over, so soon :(
We said goodbye to everyone and we went straight to the stage way, way before everybody else. We sang Ev songs and Terry, Tim and Amy kept peeking on us because we sang really loud. Amy sent someone to give us cookies and water, she is so sweet!!!
We were then interviewd by someone for a TVshow and people suddenly started getting in after a long waiting outside. All of a sudden, the pushing began (and it gotten worst and worst until Evanescence came up and people were choking on the baricades). Those in the front row were basically looking and feeling like a Picaso painting, because their body was disformed from the pushing. And the heat was unbarable. We were stuck together thanks to sweat. Anyway, warm up band came on stage, did some songs - the singer said Evanescence wrong - Eban-ess-ance and was given strong "Booh" from the crowd because of that. They came down and we waited for Evanescence to come us - 20 min' aprox.
...Intro (Lose Control), and the band comes on stage!!! Weight of the World suddenly begins and the band rocks out!!! Amy sang really well all through the show even though her throat was hurting a lot. Will is an amazing drummer, and being that I had seen Evanescence before I can tell he is way, way better than Rocky. He goes insane on the set, and loves every minute of it! Troy seems a little too calm on stage but all of a sudden he goes completely nuts too, and Terry just rocks out amazingly while Tim strikes poses all the time and just enjoys it all - he looked at me a lot and he and Troy gave me devil horns a lot too, on stage :cool:
Amy is amazing on stage! She talked to us a lot, saying they were stuck at the airport for 8 hours and they almost didn't make it, but then she yelled "it was so worth coming here, you guys are the best crowd we've seen on this tour", she said it was worth coming here (Israel) about 10 times more in between one song to another. And she was very chatty and fun! She was dressed like in Rock Am Ring if I am not mistaken, and she looked so pretty :)
Because I've seen them in November '06 I can compare the concerts and I can tell you this was the best Evanescecne concert in all Evanescence history!!!.
It was amazing!!!

She was supposed to do Your Star as the 15th song but she lost her voice so we never heard it, but we heard it on the s/c so I don't feel too bad about it. Oh and she completely messed up the words in My Immortal, she hates this song so bad... Yay! :§tongue:
I was the expirience of my life... I just can't understand it all yet!!!
Thanks Amy, Terry, Tim, Troy and Will for doing the concert! And thanks Andrew Lurie for arranging the Meet & Greet for us, and to Andrew Weiss and Herman the bodyguard for treating us so nicely inside.
I will add more pictures later!
