“You can finally relive it all.”
Eric Church invited fans to relive an unforgettable moment at the “newest cutting-edge venue” in Nashville, Tennessee. Church took the stage at The Pinnacle in May 2025, playing his latest studio record, Evangeline vs. The Machine, front-to-back, followed by reimagined renditions of his career-spanning hits. The powerhouse country star performed with a six-piece band, four-piece horns, four-piece strings, eight-piece choir and vocalist Joanna Cotten, states a press release. Now, listeners can reminisce on the event with the Evangeline vs. The Machine: Comes Alive live album, out on Friday (February 13). The soundtrack is a companion piece to the IMAX concert film, Church noted. Evangeline vs. The Machine Comes Alive premiered in IMAX on Wednesday (February 11) and will be available again on Saturday (February 14).

“The thing about the IMAX film is it freezes a moment in time. I’m going to get older; those fans are going to get older, but we froze that moment in time forever musically,” Church said on CBS Mornings on Tuesday (February 10). “If I want to watch a sporting event tonight…if I want to go to the game, that’s great. If I don’t, I’m going to watch it on television. You can’t do that with concerts, right? I can’t just tune in to who’s playing in Cleveland tonight. So, concerts are a little bit different that way, and that’s why the IMAX film mattered.”
