EVANESCENCE played a surprise acoustic show Monday night (September 23) in Voronezh, Russia after the band's equipment truck failed to make it to the venue in time for the gig.
EVANESCENCE was originally scheduled to perform at Grad Event Hall on Sunday, but the show ended up being postponed until the following day because of an "accident" involving the truck carrying all of the group's gear. When it became clear several hours before scheduled showtime that the truck would still not make it to the concert hall, EVANESCENCE made the decision to "push through" and play a stripped-down set using rented local instruments.
EVANESCENCE guitarist Jen Majura recounted the experience in a post on her Facebook page. She wrote: "I am in this crazy Rock'n'Roll business now for over 15 years, played probably over a thousand shows from shitty little bars, to concert halls, countless festivals, to the Sydney Opera House, recently the world's third biggest coliseum in Verona Italy - let's just say: I thought I've seen pretty much most of it by now! - Until Voronezh!
"We arrived here Saturday night and were supposed to play the show on Sunday. But due to an accident, our truck with all our gear, didn't make it in time for the show, so we rescheduled the show to Monday and enjoyed an unexpected day off in Voronezh!
"Monday noon it was pretty damn clear that the truck still was at the border and wouldn't arrive to the venue in time.
"Our whole production is on that truck... our gear, all guitars and basses, Will's entire drum kit, spare instruments, amps, lights, cases, stage clothes, pedal boards, cables, backdrop, Meet&Greet stuff, microphones, racks... EVERYTHING!!!
"Now we were in Voronezh with nothing else but our suitcases in our hotel rooms...
"I am beyond proud to be able to play show after show after show with these fabulous musicians and touring with our fantastic crew!
"Voronezh - we will never forget this night!!!"
EVANESCENCE's setlist for the Voronezh concert was as follows:
01. What You Want
02. My Heart Is Broken
03. All That I'm Living For
04. Call Me When You're Sober
05. Breath No More
06. Lithium
07. New Way To Bleed
08. The Change
09. Good Enough
10. Lost In Paradise
11. My Immortal
12. Imaginary
13. Bring Me To Life
