Nightwish is simply one of the best symphonic metal bands, and this DVD demonstrates this fact. It takes place during their early prime years, after the release of Wishmaster and before Century Child, when both Tarja Turunen and the excellent original bassist Sami Vanska were in (I love the newer bassist/vocalist Marco too). Tarja's operatic style is absolutely impeccable at this stage of the band's existence (she tends to favor a more raw "metal" style in live performances in more recent years, which I would find equally appealing if done in smaller doses; her older, more precise and well trilled operatic style, which is in this DVD, best demonstrates her awe-inspiring vocal talent, imo). Tuomas's compositions are just utterly ingenious and he's a truly great keyboardist, Emppu's guitar solos are truly a wonder to behold, with his lightning-like fingers all over the guitar, and Jukka's complex drumming that truly resists getting repetitive and yet remains consistent, fierce and truly amazing. The songs are so complexly and well layered, changing so much yet retaining consistent themes, you just can't get bored, like with a lot of other metal bands that are great performers and musicians but have many mere two or three layered songs that get repetitive fairly quickly. The contrast in some songs between Tarja's gentler, angelic operatic vocals and the complex yet harsh, even demonic at times, metal provides a greater feeling of emotional depth and sheer awe to the music. And yet in other songs her voice is quite forceful and powerful (without compromising her operatic integrity at all) and lends great power to the songs; many subtle differences going on to make this some of the best work I've ever seen performed in my life. It's simply amazing. Some of the best musicians in the world at their best.
