Nightwish - End of an Era

Beautiful. - 100%

Bloodax, September 12th, 2006

It's very sad to know that this was Tarja Turunen's last performance with the band because she was seriously a great frontwoman and singer. This was the last show from their whole world tour that lasted about a year and a half, 134 shows that is!

Everything from this gig is completely amazing, the lights, the stage, the venue, and of course the band's performance. Nightwish has in its lineup excellent musicians, they're all at top of their skills; they're probably the biggest band out of Finland.
The show is excellent, great performance, great charisma, a cheering crowd, it's just perfect. The setlist has their best songs, opening with "Dark Chest of Wonders" and closing with "Wish I had an Angel". The music is very good; the setlist has their best songs. Some of the highlights are “Slaying The Dreamer” kick-ass song, the heaviest here. “Creek Mary’s Blood” the best song, very emotive, with a special guest, John Two-Hawks who plays some flute and backing vocals. “Phantom of the Opera” a classic, no words for it, and “Wishmaster” fantastic song with great vocals and music, impressive guitar and keyboard speed, no doubt of that.

The extras a photo gallery from the show and a 55 minute documentary that shows the band some weeks before the Hartwall gig, a small tour in South America (Mexico, Brazil) . You can actually sense a weird situation going on there, the band looks very unhappy and nervous.
Nonetheless, they gave awesome shows, I’m a witness,I was there!

So if you are a die-hard fan,you will love it and if you don’t know them very well, it’s the best way to.
