    Thu 19 Jan – Nightwish and Sat 21 Jan – Nightwish, Amorphis, Dommin

    This is a bit late, but oh well - I've been busy with college stuff.

    I've been wanting to see Nightwish for years, and I finally saw them last week - twice. The first two shows of their Imaginaerum world tour. Overall, I was very impressed.

    Anette's performance was brilliant, much better than I expected. I'll just say that the first time I listened to Dark Passion Play, I wasn't a huge fan, but her vocals definitely grew on me. I wasn't able to see Nightwish when they were touring for Dark Passion Play, but from what I've heard, Anette's live vocals have improved a lot. In my opinion, her vocals sound even better on Imaginaerum than on Dark Passion Play.

    The rest of the band played brilliantly, as I expected. Marco's vocals were amazing, and I also loved Troy's performance. I was hoping that he would play at these shows.

    Their setlist included songs from Imaginaerum, Dark Passion Play, Once, and also two cover songs. …
  • Absolutely amazing show!

    Everyone sounded amazing at this show although Dommin was not nearly as good. To be honest, they sounded like Danzig when he was around Danzig IV and going downhill.... and, when you're the opening act, don't make the crowd start singing, "good bye.... good bye...." when they actually want you to leave.

    Still, Nightwish was the reason I flew 2700 miles there and they did not disappoint. They played most of the songs from Once, Dark Passion Play, and Imaginaerum. Anette was the highlight for me along with the music, but she just sounded near perfect with what I heard.

    Great seats, great sound, and a great place to see a concert.
