Saw Nightwish play in Sydney almost 2 weeks ago.
We were right behind the mixing desk, it was my girlfriends for ever concert too.
From our position Floors voice was far too low in the mix, with the rest of the sound pretty good.
The set list was pretty good, nothing pre 'Once', except 'Ever Dream' and 'Over The Hills and Far Away'.
For me too much of the most recent album, although it did come alive more than the actual 'Imaginarium' CD sounds.
Having seen NW with all 3 singers, I hate to say it, but I do prefer Tarja!
It ended up being a great evening, support act Sabaton were great, I have never seen such a strong reaction from a crowd to any band that is not a headliner.
Towards the end of the night I did bump into NW manager Ewo, we had a nice chat, although I haven't seen him since 2008, it was amazing how good his memory is.
We were about to leave when Ewo insisted we go backstage and see Toumas. After eventually getting past security, I saw Marco eating pizza, an exhausted Floor and TH drenched in sweat.
I am still not sure if Floor is the answer to NW vocalist merry go round, but she did nail 'Ghost Love Score'.
