J2112YYZ Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 They did the usual shorter version of Greatest Show. They begin the song at the soft part before the narration. Which I think is at about the four and a half to five minute mark of the studio recording. They play it all the way up to the we were here part. They then leave the stage and more of the narration parts are played over the speakers. The band then comes out for a final bow. Tuomas is the happiest I've ever seen him live on this tour. I think he finally has the band that he really wants now and it's bringing him so much joy. I've never seen him smile so much as he did at this show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought he had the whole "tortured poet" act down pat, but then after seeing him happy, I realised for all these years it wasn't an act, and when the opportunity arose, he lightens up!

J2112YYZ Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Not sure why that song didn't make it on to DPP? I usually don't pay attention to b-sides and bonus tracks but Escapist was definitely album worthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRushmonkey Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Sorta Nightwish related. I was going somewhere in the car and listening to Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beatiful through my earphones. When Elan came on i was looking out of the window and saw a large white owl :D fly across the road. Kind of related if you've seen the video :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Nightwish is always epic live. The special magic and beauty that makes up their songs is amplified a thousand times live. Glad you liked the show. There is no way a Nightwish can't enjoy seeing them play. It looks like you got a good set at your show too. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nightwish/2016/city-national-civic-san-jose-ca-13f0f509.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Anyone here aside from me a fan of Tuomas Holopainen's solo album? I thought it was going to be embarrassing but I find it to be one of the most beautiful and ambient symphonic music (not metal) releases in years!

That wasn't my intention. But from the way it looks, you're the only fan on this board who attended this particular show. The best place to try and find if there are any good pics from the show would be to check out the official Nightwish fan forum. There's a good chance you'll find something on it.

No I didn't take it like that, I was shocked at maybe I was the only one. Well my buddy is a TRF guy but he was next to me and the seats were not the best to take pics. Im so used to all the great Rush fans in posting pics!! Im new to Nightwish and Im hooked. Im also a little mad at myself for now just discovering them. If there is one good thing about Rush not touring etc! is I have now finally started to open up to new music. Would you be able to point me in right direction on the fan forum thing I looked and could not find anything. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good performances and the sound is good as well! You also get all the making of documentaries they uploaded onto YouTube. For a fan like me, it was great! I am glad I bought this album twice. I have two versions of the album, plus the DVD and I like the tour edition artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
