Well if the band stated they were going to film multiple concerts and they can only film one in the USA (I dont understand that reason?) then it leads me to believe they will film at least one other concert somewhere else

I don't think the band is going to release it soon if this is the case.

CrimsonSunrise · « **Reply #1961 on:** May 16, 2015, 08:24:02 PM »

Yeah...If that's the Union regs in the States then I would think they would record some stuff during the summer European shows.

I guess I will throw out my initial song rankings, ive had enough listens now to form that much of an opinion although it could change:

1. The Greatest Show on Earth
2/3. Alpenglow/Edema Ruh - this is hard to decide now
4. Shutter Before the Beautiful
5. Endless Forms Most Beautiful
6. Weak Fantasy
7. My Walden
8. Our Decades in the Sun
9. Elan
10. Yours is an Empty Hope
11. The Eyes of Sharbat Gula

I think that is still fairly accurate although Alpenglow is a definite #2 now.

Pretty much the same setlist in Europe.

Evermind · « **Reply #1968 on:** June 06, 2015, 04:43:16 PM »

Yeah, but I still think they're going to throw some unexpected songs into the setlist at the following shows.

And I really hope they would announce some shows in Russia too. Missed them on Imaginaerum tour, don't want to miss them on this one.

CrimsonSunrise · « **Reply #1969 on:** June 06, 2015, 05:02:04 PM »

So, I was watching an interview last night on youtube and they were saying 2, I think, of these Finland shows were going to have the bands most ambitious stage production to date. DVD material?

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #1970 on:** June 07, 2015, 10:11:06 AM »

so the Europeans get the Full TGSOE, luckys.

Eh, as much as I love it,I'd take another song over the long intro and outro in a live setting.

CrimsonSunrise · « **Reply #1972 on:** June 07, 2015, 09:43:11 PM »

Umm....WOW...... 1:07 . Now I see what they meant by stage production! Man! I coulda given them some way better underwater vid to use, especially turtle clips!

Hopefully one of these large stage shows will be recorded for the DVD.

sounds a tad better on this one, but the first has better imagery (except for the shock effect on the dudes camera...LOL

A lot of the songs from their big 1980's era of success was from outside writers.

This describes almost every rock band from the 70's and 80's.

FINALLY getting around to getting into this band. I checked out a bunch of stuff on spotify and decided to buy "Once" a couple months ago. Really liked it and it grew on me slowly. I eventually recently got "Century Child." Holy crap, what a great album!!! I have really been into Tarja and even bought some of her solo stuff (not as good as the Nightwish stuff to me, but still good).

I had never gotten into the other NW singers but have only tried on spotify and probly didn't like it cause spotify annoys me. So on a whim I bought "Dark Passion Play." OMG, I can't believe how awesome this album is. "For the Heart I Once Had" is amazingly stunning.

So far, I have 3 albums. All very good. I can't choose between Century Child and Dark Passion Play for a current favorite but I know I need more albums.

73109 · « **Reply #1989 on:** August 17, 2015, 11:23:27 PM »

Imaginaerum is one of my favorite albums of all time. The story, the lyrics, the music—it is so epic and bombastic but also touching and real, which I think their music with Tarja definitely lacked. Their newest album, in my opinion, is also quite good. Miles above anything with Tarja, slightly better than Dark Passion Play, and not nearly as good as Imaginaerum.

Agreed! I hope for a live version. She nails it.

Don't know if you knew this, but there is a studio piano version of Floor singing it with After Forever:

Go with their two newest albums, Imaginarium (if you like DPP, you'll like this) and Endless Forms Most Beautiful (might as well go with the newest and maybe best of the three singers, and this is my personal favorite album).

Agreed. Especially Imaginarium is excellent (still have to watch that film and soundtrack to it).

EFMB has grown on me a lot by the way. Can't wait to see them later this year.

EFMB is still my album of the year, though it is being challenged by the new Symphony X.

Great start, you have my top 2 NW albums (DPP and CC)

But yes, go with Imaginaerum and EFMB next. Then feel free to venture to the early records
