Speaking as one of Nightwish's sponsors that year, that performance and the touching backstory with Marc B. is one of the things in my lifetime I'm proudest to have been a part of. Truly unforgettable. I still hear from Georgene Brueland about once a year.
I'll never forget, watching the show from the side of the stage (back then, sponsors were allowed), not knowing the story behind Marc B.'s presence yet, looking out at the venue packed with Nightwish fans for their first-ever US performance, then turning to Glenn and saying "We're making a lot of dreams come true tonight!"
And Glenn responded "I'd be happy, if I wasn't crying."
As I said, truly unforgettable.
