MORE VIDEOS FROM NIGHTWISH'S CONCERT!!!

More video from the last concert for the Dark Passion Play Tour, "Meadows of Heaven".



This is the VERY FIRST TIME Nightwish has ever played this song live!
Yes, Anette sang it in Suomi Safari, but that was a solo gig she did.

Here is "Romanticide"-



Also, "Wish I Had an Angel"-



Another song, "Amaranth"-



Here is "The Siren" which is personally,
my favorite old song that I love Anette singing-



And one more,"The Islander"-

ANOTHER VIDEO FROM NIGHTWISH'S LAST CONCERT!!!

Okay, so I just got back on the computer,
and found another video from Nightwish's last gig at Hartwall Arena-
this is "Walking in the Air". I actually think that for some
stupid reason, this is the first time I've ever heard it, and it's amazing!



Hopefully when I get up tomorrow(because the whole 6 hour time difference between Sweden/Finland and the U.S.)then more people will have
videos and photos, and Anette will be posting in her blog.

Speaking of Anette, this is the first time I can actually see what she's wearing- looks like a floor length(maybe silk)black gown- and I love it!

LAST NIGHTWISH CONCERT FOR DARK PASSION PLAY TOUR!!!

This is the first video from the LAST concert from
Nightwish's Dark Passion Play Tour which lasted three years.
It's at Hartwall Arena in Finland,
and this is a song from Once, "Dark Chest of Wonders".



And I would just like to say, that if the new singer of Nightwish,
Anette Olzon, has put up with all the crap fans gave her for three years now-
this PROVES she DESERVES to be in the band!!!

This is the setlist-

1.Intro (Finlandia w/ Troy Donockley)
2.7 Days to the Wolves
3.Ever Dream
4.Wishmaster
5.Romanticide
6.Amaranth
7.The Siren (ft. violinists)
8.While Your Lips Are Still Red (ft. violinists)
9.The Poet and The Pendulum
10.Nemo
11.Sahara
12.Dark Chest of Wonders
13.The Islander (w/ Troy Donockley)
14.Walking in the Air (Acoustic w/ Troy Donockley)

16.Meadows of Heaven (w/ Gospel Choir)
Encore:
17.Ghost Love Score
18.Wish I Had An Angel
19.The Heart Asks Pleasure First

I know Apocalyptica also performed, but I'm not sure if they were
before or after Nightwish, or what their setlist was.

Just so you know, Anette was talking about the band
having some surprises during the last gig, on her blog the other day.
Well at least I know what one of the surprises was-
the never before heard song "The Heart Asks Pleasure First "
So let's hope somebody has it recorded!!!

"We seduce the dark with pain and rapture
Like two ships that pass in the night
You and I, a whore and a bashful sailor
Welcome to a sunrise of a dirty mind

All you love is a lie
You one-night butterfly
Hurt me, be the one
Whoever brings the night

The Dark, created to hide the innocent white,
the lust of night Eyes so bright,
seductive lies Crimson masquerade where I merely played my part
Poison dart of desire"
- Whoever Brings the Night by Nightwish

Actually, this was one night, I wish wouldn't end.
So last night I went to X-FEST 2K9. It was the time I've been to it,
and I thought it was awesome! I got up early kinda,
and got there around 10 or 10:15 and the gates opened at 11,
with the first band coming on at 12:05.
So we got in around 11:10, and Halestorm(my favorite band next to Nightwish)
was at the autograph booth and I had to get there!
So my step-dad left me and my friend Cassy at the booth,
with a long line kinda and we waited.
But I knew it would end at 11:25 for Sick Puppies to take a turn for autographs.



Well we moved a bit but then Halestorm left!
I was kinda aggravated, but figured I like Sick Puppies so I'll stay in line for them.
The I heard someone yell my name.
Up further in line was a kid from my school. He asked if I had been in line for Halestorm,
and I told him yes. He goes, "Well, they're standing right there still signing some stuff."
I was like, "REALLY??? Okay let's go!"
Since Cassy and I didn't want to travel back through the line, I jumped the fence.
Some guy asked me if I needed help,
but before I could say anything I had already swung one leg over
and a woman said, "No, I think she may have got it now."
Cassy gave me her stuff, jumped the fence,
and we walked over to Lzzy Hale, the singer of Halestorm,
who has an amazing voice and something I just now noticed- awesome style!



I asked her if she could sign my ticket and she nicely took it and signed it,
and I told her how I loved her hair.
"Well, I haven't washed it in awhile, so thanks!" I thought that was funny.



Then I asked her if she wouldn't mind taking a picture with me,
and she said sure and grabbed my shoulder
and turned us both to the camera(phone) Cassy had.



I got a picture with her and as she signed Cassy's ticket,
she said she liked my shoes and Cassy's jeans.
Which her jeans were awesome- hot pink and teal zebra stripped.

Then a little later the concerts started!

Halestorm-


I must I thought all the bands did really really good!

Line-up:
Halestorm
Sick Puppies
CAVO
RED
HURT
Cage the Elephant
Hollywood
Our Lady Peace
Mudvayne
Alice in Chains

Any more pictures you want to see, they're on my profiles.
Most of it is Halestorm, considering that's the band I really went there for.

One more thing, not X-Fest related,
but Nightwish related- Anette Olzon, will be making a solo album!!!
Not as a career- that's why she has Nightwish- but as a side project.
Yes, I agree that she should be able to do that!
Every other member in the band has another band or project they do besides Nightwish,
just because she's the singer does not mean she can't.
But I am not only now excited for whenever the next Nightwish album gets out,
but now also I can't wait for Anette's album! So good luck to her with that!
