Before YouTube, livestreams and TikTok snippets, Evanescence had given their fans something raw, haunting, and unforgettable: the Anywhere but Home live album and DVD, released in 2004. Recorded during the Paris show at Le Zénith, the set perfectly showcased Amy Lee’s soaring vocals in a powerful live setting—untouched by studio polish but fully equipped with emotional rawness.

Fans were treated to rare acoustic renditions of My Immortal and Breathe No More, and a chilling cover of Korn’s Thoughtless. Amy’s presence, the gothic imagery, and energy from the audience turned Anywhere But Home from being just a concert documentary to a landmark of the band’s early touring years.

The DVD was a way for many first-time viewers to see Evanescence live-whether they actually did, or just through their living room TV, it cemented Amy Lee as one of the most compelling frontwomen of the 2000s.
