In August 2006 , Evanescence performed an acoustic version of the song with a piano , a cello and a guitar at the AOL Music Sessions . On October 19 , 2006 , the band appeared at the awards show Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica 2006 in Mexico City , performing " Call Me When You 're Sober " and " Bring Me to Life " . The song was later included on the set list of the band 's The Open Door Tour ( 2006 – 07 ) in support of their second studio album . According to Donnie Moorhouse of '' The Republican '' , it receives a " full band treatment " during the performances . While reviewing a concert by the band , '' Milwaukee Journal Sentinel '' s Jon M. Gilbertson said that the title " pushes away from rock 's party mood " . However , he praised Lee 's live performance of the song saying that she " projected so loudly and clearly that she seemed to be trying to reach well beyond the confines of the Eagles Ballroom , and she hit the notes throughout the set . No screaming or growling , in other words . " Chris Harris of '' Rolling Stone '' described her performance of the song having " everyone in the place headbanging along with Lee , whose hair whipped in circles wildly as she belted out the chorus " . '' The Guardian '' s Caroline Sullivan noted that for the " doomy writhing and the darkness " of the song , Lee " cuts a triumphant figure "
