Epic old footage of Amy Lee has recently resurfaced online, showing the Evanescence singer performing a set in a small bar when she was just 17 years old.
The rare video was filmed at Vino’s Bar in Little Rock, Arkansas back in 1999, and shows Amy Lee on vocals, former Evanescence bandmate Ben Moody on guitar, Stephanie Pierce on back up vocals, and an unnamed violinist.
The clip pre-dates any official Evanescence releases, with the band’s demo album ‘Origin’ coming out in 2000, followed by their debut studio album ‘Fallen’ in 2003. Some songs from those albums are performed in the clip, including ‘Imaginary’ and ‘Whisper’.
Amy Lee and co’s full one-hour-set is captured in the video, and while the sound and quality isn’t great - it’s pretty epic seeing Evanescence before they were what we know them as now.
John Furman, the uploader of the video, has even timestamped each individual song, so if you wanna skip to something in particular, you can. Check out the timestamps below, and have a watch of the 1999 video up top.
